Hi everyone!
I was planning to blog about a bunch of new Milani lipsticks, but I needed to take a lot of pics of how they look on the lips, and it just got too dark and dreary here this afternoon. So I thought I'd just do a quick blog on a couple of new things that didn't require so many pictures and natural light. I found these Nivea Lip Butters this past weekend at Walgreens... there was a whole display of Nivea products (including men's stuff) that was Buy One Get One 50% off. Several of you told me I should check out these lip butters so I thought I'd give them a go! I think they were between 2 and 3 bucks each, but I also got the BOGO discount.
I believe there were four different kinds available... plain and caramel- and then the two I got which are Vanilla & Macadamia Kiss and Raspberry Rose Kiss. They come in sort of flat little tins and they smell AWESOME. The Vanilla and Macadamia has a really nice lightly sweet scent, and the Raspberry actually has a somewhat realistic raspberry scent. They don't give off any color, but they are incredibly hydrating. I've used a few different Nivea lip balms that come in the stick form over the years, and I've really liked them. I haven't yet tried using these as a hydrating base for lipsticks. Since they're so emollient I'm not sure if a lipstick would nicely cling to them like they do to EOS (which never feel quite as slick on the lips), but we'll see. Just wanted to give you a heads up on these if you're a Nivea lip product fan! So far I've only seen them on display at Walgreens.

Daily Nuggets...
- Picked the right time to shoot a video this morning! We had about an hour or two of sunshine before it turned gray & rainy here.
- Had a nice lunch with a couple of former co-workers- it was great to catch up with them! :)
- Country Music fans- do you watch Backstory on GAC? They're hour long profiles of various stars and I just find them so interesting! I watched the one on Miranda Lambert over the weekend.
- Cleaned the bathroom and my closet this afternoon- it always feels good to get that done! Trying to approach cleaning in small phases so I don't have to have one big marathon cleaning fest.
Lovely review, Emily! I have yet to try these but now I kinda want to hehe
ReplyDeleteRegarding the clean in "baby steps and bite size" click this link http://www.flylady.net She is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteRats! Don't have a Walgreens here. Bummer!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review Emily!! I've seen several youtubers raving about these. I'm going to hit Walgreens to and try to find them tomorrow.....
ReplyDeleteLOVE how the caramel one smells. I wish i didnt have to stick my fingers into it. I havent decided how mosturizing they really are or how long lasting. Because how thick they are you cant really use them as a shine on lips, you tend to see some of the product.
ReplyDeletei have two of these, the vanilla and caramel ones, i find that they keep my lips very well hydrated and if i wait a little while after i put it on and then apply lipstick it works very well. i got mine at the local riteaid...i think they cost around $4 there. :)
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a Nivea lip product fan! Their chapsticks are literally the only kind that work on my dry lips. Thank goodness for them!

Thanks for the review! I actually saw them at my Walmart =)
ReplyDeleteI love Raspberry Rose kiss! I did a full review on my blog :)
ReplyDeleteThe other scents were too strong for me. I didn't try original, but I think I will.
I saw the display for them at CVS, but I didn't pick them up! I should have! They look great :D I'll try and fine them again and I think that I'll get the caramel one!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my blog!

Great review Emily!

Going to use up my kiss of milk and honey then pick this up!
ReplyDeleteWell now there's something I don't remember seeing on YouTube. How about a video on lip balms and how popular brands interact with lipsticks. I think that would be fun and quite service-y.
ReplyDeleteThese look so tempting. I really want one now.

I've got the Vanilla & Macadamia one and it's one of the best lip balms in history!

I got the Vanilla Macadamia and the Caramel - gotta say caramel is my fave! It has a salted caramel buttered popcorn thing going on, I dunno but it smells great! I find it's perfect for nighttime use as it tends to leave a bit of a milky look, but it's super hydrating and my lips look great in the morning. I think it'd be terrible under another lip product. Thanks for the review!
