Yay or Nay- Nivea Sweet Lips gift set xox



Hiya everyone! So I'm back on blogging now, and I got a brand new camera! This means that my photos will be in better quality and my overall webpage will look cleaner! A few week ago I started a new series of mine called Yay or Nay- which is my reviewing system for products. I haven't done one of these in a while so I thought it was time for another. Today I am reviewing the Nivea 'Sweet Lips' gift set tin, which includes 4 full sized products. Here is what I think of the set!

Products included:
~2x Nivea Lip Butters: Coconut and Vanilla & Macadamia. Creamy and Strongly scented. When I open the tin, the product smells really scrumptious!
~Nivea 'Pearly Shine' Tinted Lip Balm. Gives a shiny, pink finish. Moisturising and shimmery.
~Nivea 'Essential Care' Lip Balm. Very thick, extremely moisturising. Fave lip balm!
Packaging:
This set comes in a pink, hearts gaped metal tin, of which you can remove the label and re- use the tin as something else. I think this is super cute and I will be using this to store different lip products in. This would be a great gift for someone, and the tin would make the present feel really special and unique. Overall I give it a ***** 5 stars for packaging!

Pigmentation:
Now, obviously a lip balm or butter doesn't usually contain any pigmentation, but the 'Pearly Shine' lip balm is tinted. The product gives off a shimmery, subtle pink shade; perfect if your lips need a bit of TLC but you still want a bit of colour on the lips. Overall, because there is only one coloured product, I give the pigmentation *** 3 Stars!

Lasting Power:
In my opinion, I think it is really important for a lip balm/butter to last on the lips. Otherwise, I usually end up applying loads throught the day and using up all of the product! These lip balms give moisture that sinks into the lips, making your lips feel smooth without the thought of anything being there. I usually reapply about twice a day. Overall I give these a **** 4 stars for lasting power!

Finish:
When I wear these, it looks like I am wearing a clear gloss (especially the 'Essential Care'). I like the fact that you can put these on top of a lipstick for a shiny lip look that will not dry out. The 'Pearly Shine' Lip balm looks great on top of a pink lippie! Overall I think that **** 4 Stars is a good score for the finish!

My final opinion of this is that it is a very cute set of full-sized lip products. This would be a great gift for someone who is just starting out in makeup, or a lip balm-hoarder like me! The Nivea 'Sweet Lips' set is a YAY!

Thanks for reading this post, and in the new year I hope to post more for you all! Leave comments down below of anything that you would like to see me write about, but for now I'll see you next time. Lots of love, Gracie xxx
