Good day people!
Nivea has recently launched a new lip care range consisting of 6 different flavored fruity shine lip balms! Today, I’ll be sharing my first impressions on them.
Price : Rs.135 for 4.8 g (each)
My First Impressions:
The lip balms come in a sturdy plastic tube with color coded caps. It has a twist up-bottom and the balm fits just right inside the tub hence it doesn’t get damaged or broken while shutting the cap (It happens a lot with my Maybelline electro pop lip balms where the balm stick outs!) I find the packaging neat and sturdy! The cap indicates the variant/color of the balms and hence, it becomes easy to pick one when you own more than one from the same range!
Note: I haven’t yet started using the balms! I am sharing below how they look on the tube. Don’t mistake them for the pigmentation on the lips. For details on pigmentation and longevity, kindly wait for the reviews. Another thing – the balms contain minute shimmer; I am not sure if they will be visible on application!
1. Strawberry : A bright tomato red shade which smells like strawberry candy! It reminds me so much of a strawberry lollipop that I used to eat when I was in my school.
2. Peach : A light peach colored balm with hints of coral! A very unique shade from this range. I am not sure how it smells however it is extremely fruity (not the artificial kinds!)
3. Cherry : A rich intense plum shade that looks well pigmented on the tube! It smells mildly like cherries; not as strong as the strawberry variant.
4. Pink Guava : Reddish pink is how it looks on the tube! Pink Guava has a unique fragrance that is fruity with notes of guava extracts!
5. Watermelon : A muted cool toned pink with real water melon fragrance! The VERY good part about these balms is that they really smell like fruits!
6. Pomegranate : The shade looks deeper than cherry on the tube! The fragrance is fruity again with subtle notes of pomegranate!
I just swatched the shades on my wrist (I shall share the swatches on another post!) and they look juicy! Though not highly pigmented, they are just apt for everyday wear. Few look more pigmented when compared to the others. I appreciate Nivea for concentrating on the fragrance part too than just the ‘colors’. Each variant has its own smell and I’ll talk more about it on the reviews!
Overall, I am impressed with the range! They smell divine and I am looking forward use them in upcoming days!
P.S: There is no such thing called too-many-lip-balms. Agree?
Was dese launched vry long back?? I already have two tubes from diz which i purchased last month. Packing was actually changed bt balm remains the same. Watermelon n peach ws nly the new flavour that too launched vry long back.
I am not sure Deepthi! Even I’ve heard similar names before but these are newly launched! With different formula and packaging maybe? And I am loving them!
Nivea lip balms are really good! Lovely pics dear!
They are!! Thank you Megha!!
No, there is no such thing as too many lipbalms :P It’s been ages since I bought Nivea lipbalm, will pick one soon :)

Thank you so much Swati! :) Means a lot to me! I am still learning to use my DSLR better!
Great pictures Lancy. I too adore these. Tinted lip balms are my favourites.
Thank you Nice! :)
I’d love to see swatches of them.. to see what kind of differences the shades have. I do love lip balms, but I don’t wear pigmented lip balms very often (lip butters yes)… I tend to nourish my lips with a lot of vaseline at night, ha ha!
My mom swears by Vaseline!! And these are not that pigmented. You’ll love them Natasja!!
I have the Pink guava variant and like it a lot, Nivea lip balms are my all time favortie
Pink guava has a lovely scent!! And yes, these balms are my favorites too!
Lovely pics! I’m not a fan of nivea balms but these look tempting
Thank you Lana!

Of course there is nothing like “too many lip balms”. I love Nivea lip balms. I am pretty sure I always have back ups of it.
Which ones do you love Krupa?

Thank you Sindhuru! :)
I have tons of lip balms but only one from this range..I agree with you, we can never have enough of these!
Yes Esha! Try few more flavors from the range. They are delicious!
Currently using the peach variant from this range.. And I’m loving it :)
It’s a lovely soft shade! :) Isn’t it?
Yes, it is :)
I have been following this blog for quite sometime..
Its interesting and I am new to this whole makeup stuff and always prefer traditional/natural.
You have helped me a great deal and I swear by many created here.
Nivea.. Have tried the old variants.
This looks tempting. I will give it a try. However, waiting for the swatches! :) Thanks a ton, Lancy and team.

I love tinted lip balms and there are so many to choose from!! :D :D
I want all these candies for my lips! :)
They smell like candies, indeed! :)
Hey lancy, i want to buy a new lipbalm. My lips are dark in colour and i am having a hard time deciding which new product’s colour will suit my lip’s colour. And i don’t want to waste money and buy one and don’t use it later.
