This is a really nice lip balm. I do find if quite comparable to others I have used. I'm not sure it would be my first choice but it does get the job done well. My husband is the biggest user of lip balm in our family and he likes it. I will keep using until it is all gone to see final outcome but so far it is working good.

This is a great lip balm that goes on smooth without feeling too waxy or sticky. It doesn't absorb and moisturize quite as well as the Nivea creme but it is still effective and comfortable to wear. The packaging is good and there is a lot of product inside. I enjoyed using this product but I prefer tinted lip balms since my lips are often too dry for most lipsticks.

I got this product to try for free from Chickadvisor in return for my review. In love how soft and creamy this lip balm felt going on. It was great to use in the dry heat and kept the moisture in my lips. It never felt sticky and lasted quite a while before I needed to reapply. I spend a lot of time outside and the only thing that this lip balm needs is an added SPF.

I have used similar products in the past, but have found that after trying this, it is among the best at this price point. We will definitely will buy this. My husband is also excited to try using it this winter while he is out snowmobiling, to keep his lips from getting dry and cracked.

Thanks to chick advisor to select me try all nivea products for free. I'm in love with this lip balm. I apply a few times a day and it makes my lips soft and feel great. Fits perfect in your pocket or purse and doesn't have a flavour to it which is a bonus. Definitely buying this. I recommend it.

I didn't find anything special about this lip balm compared others. It did work, but I found myself reapplying more often than I normally do. The tube was a nice and smooth to turn. I will be sticking with my current brand for now. I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

Good lip balm to prevent chapping when you feel like your lips are getting dry! Even my boyfriend liked it, which says a lot about the neutral packaging.

My review >>

Packaging:
NIVEA Essential Lip Balm comes in attractive packaging with a lipstick design.

Scent/Taste:
NIVEA Essential Lip Balm has a subtle buttery/nutty scent and taste. It's very pleasant.

Performance/Effectiveness:
I suffer from dry/chapped lips, especially in the fall and winter months, so I was really excited to try this lip balm. NIVEA Essential Lip Balm is very easy to apply. It glides easily over your lips with just a light amount of pressure. It has a nice, creamy texture and it leaves a faint glossy coating on your lips. All in all, I thought NIVEA Essential Lip Balm was effective in keeping my lips moist and feeling soft over several hours, although its moisturizing properties aren't better or worse than other lip balms I've tried.

The Verdict:
I would strongly consider adding NIVEA Essential Lip Balm to list of lip balms that I currently buy. I have no reservations in recommending NIVEA Essential Lip Balm to a friend.

I got this as part of the trial. I've used other Nivea lip balms, and prefer the light blue moisturizing one. I find this lip balm to be ok. I had dry lips, and I felt like I had to reapply this one more than others. I also prefer my lip balm to have spf in it but I like the packaging of the product. The size and shape is perfect. So I get Nivea lip balms for that reason.

I liked a lot of things about this lip balm, it was smooth, lightly scented, not sticky and seemed to hydrate very well. I didn't like the lip gunk that appeared in the morning after putting it on before bed. It didn't seem to be a bad lip balm, but after a few days my lip reacted to it and it was crazy itchy and dry. My doctor said that is probably something in it i'm allergic to and just had a mild reaction. It's not something that I would personally buy again, however my husband swooped as it kills him to waste things. He likes that it's "manly" He said so may lip balms are dainty and flowery it's nice to see something bigger (his hands are huge and he struggles with tiny removeable caps). It's simple and does the job he needs. So even though I am not sold, my husband is.
