Labello (Nivea) Fruity Shine lip balm in Strawberry & Cherry Swatch & Review

Today's post is a review for Labello's Fruity Shine lip balm in Cherry and Strawberry.


The Fruity Shine line claims to hydrate your lips, all while giving them some shine and color.


Here is the lip balm in Cherry :


This one definitely shows on my lips, I love the color. It smells delicious but you can't taste the product once it's on your lips.


Here are the pictures for the lip balm in Strawberry :


This one doesn't show up as much as Cherry does, although you can tell I have some color on my lips. It smells like Strawberry candy, but again it doesn't have any taste.


I have to say I'm really pleased with these two lip balms. They hydrate my lips, and even though the color and shine don't hold up on my lips all day, I don't feel like I have to re-apply constantly for my lips to feel smooth and hydrated.
They're not the most pigmented lip balms ever invented, and depending on how much you apply, they do give a nice wash of color to the lips. On days when I don't want to bother with lipstick but still want to look like I at least tried to look nice, they're more than enough. 


I definitely want to try the other colors in this line (I think there are two more, Peach and Watermelon) !

Have you tried these ? What's your favorite lip balm ?

Nivea (Labello) Lip Butter in Raspberry Rosé and Vanilla & Macadamia Review & Pictures


Hi everyone ! Today I have a small review for the Nivea Lip Butters, which are sold under the name Labello here in France (all Nivea lip products are sold under that name, I don't know why). 


From reviews I've read/watched, I feel like people either love them or hate them. I love them. I actually want to buy backups (Amazon France sells them in packs of 3) but I'm trying to save some money, so that'll have to wait *snif* 


We only have Vanilla & Macadamia and Raspberry Rosé here in France. I've never seen the other two (Caramel Kiss & the 'regular Nivea' smell) in stores. But, you know, France is already behind on releasing these, I guess I can wait for the other two. I saw an ad for them in a magazine maybe a year ago, and searched for them online and in stores, but no luck... I then completely forgot about them until I saw them at the store in October. 


Anyway, let's move on to the review, huh ? I use these lip butters at night, because yes, they do leave a white cast on the lips. For me, that's the only downside. They smell amazing, and my lips look really really nice and hydrated when I wake up. Some people don't like the fact that you have to scoop it out the tin with your finger, but because I use them before bed, my hands are clean, so I don't mind. Also, I've been using the Raspberry Rosé one every night (well, I might have missed a couple) since November, and I've still got a lot of product left. And I mean a lot. I paid about 3 or 4 euros for them, and that's a really reasonable price for the quality. 


So, here's my take on Nivea's Lip Butters. Do you have one of them ? All of them ? Do you love them as much as I do ? Or do you hate them and use another product ? If so, which one ?
