When it comes to Nivea products, many people will first think of Nivea Men's Facial Cleanser, Balancing Toner, etc. In addition to these products, many people also like to use Nivea lipsticks. So, Is Nivea lipstick really effective? Which Nivea lipstick is the best? How effective is Nivea lipstick?
1. Is Nivea lip balm easy to use?
The ingredients of Nivea natural lip balm are more easily absorbed by the skin, maintaining the natural elasticity of the lips, even in cold and dry conditions. It can keep your lips moist, shiny, healthy and soft. Let’s see if this Nivea lip balm is useful or not. Mogujie MM’s review: White paste, light fragrance, very moisturizing, and very long-lasting. Speaking of which, Nivea lip balms are pretty good.
I have newly purchased a lemon and olive product, which is in the same series as citrus and mint. It smells super, super, super good, and I want to eat the whole lipstick orz
Another new product is available. The weight of the thin-tube avocado is half that of the water drop, only 2.4g, and the price is twice that of the water drop. But really, it will be absorbed immediately after application, and my mother no longer has to worry about my dead skin being torn to pieces! The effect is better when used before going to bed.
ps. Lemon, olive, chamomile and mint are both 4.8g, and the price is twice as much as the thin tube as the water drop. I forgot the specific price, but water drops are the cheapest anyway
Usage experience:
(Left: pink pomegranate, right: strawberry)
The reason for purchase is the same I saw it after looking through the rankings. Because the price was very low and it was made in Germany. There happened to be a special price in the community, so I stopped by to have a look. But it didn’t sell, so I went to Cosmed to take it home~( The second one is half price, after deducting the soon-to-expiry bonus, one is $57)
Pink pomegranate, there are places where you can try the scent, but I know the scent of pomegranate, it’s okay if I don’t smell it~ This design is quite interesting~((Although I keep applying it and I can’t smell it...
It’s a lip balm and a lip gloss!! This sentence is what attracts me, but... it’s also sad. Original reason...
When I bought it, I originally targeted the pink pomegranate, but the store clerk said that the strawberry sales were pretty good, so I picked one of each. Anyway, I can try both. Unexpectedly... After buying and using it, I prefer strawberries... Let me briefly tell you my opinion...
●Pink Pomegranate:
Look It looks very light in color, but when applied it is relatively rosy... The scent is not the pomegranate smell that I was familiar with before, it has a bit of a sour smell. It doesn't feel moisturizing when you apply just one layer, but your complexion feels good! Apply multiple layers and it feels moisturizing. , but it looks like a singer...
●Strawberry:
The taste is also a bit sour, but the sweet and sour taste suits my taste very well, with a light red color The color looks great after three coats. In the end, I almost only use this one (sweat *** is the same as the danger... Applying too many layers can easily lead to a shiny, shiny feeling. The shiny feeling is not suitable for my thick lips) For people...it looks more like they haven't wiped their lips, rather than lip gloss..The glitter stuck on the lips is a bit shiny. I hate lip glosses with glitter more and more...applying too much of this will be too much. over...
Conclusion, I will not repurchase. Although it is cheap and the origin is excellent, it is really not OK for a thick-mouthed woman... If I really recommend it, I recommend it to people who don’t want to spend a lot of money. Lip gloss beauties_~
2. Common ingredients in lip balms
●Vaseline: Generally moisturizing, it can stay on the lips for a long time, but its penetration is not good.
●Natural wax: Beeswax extracted from honeycombs has a very good moisturizing effect.
●Plant essence extraction: such as mint, aloe, etc. Different plants have different effects. The effect of mint is cooling and anti-inflammatory, while aloe vera focuses on moisturizing.
●Lanolin: natural animal fat, containing cholesterol, lanosterol, glycerol, etc., which can penetrate into the skin.

●Vitamin E: Lip balm containing vitamin E can enhance the density between keratinocytes and relieve dryness and peeling.
Let’s talk about the perennially popular Kiehl’s No. 1 lip balm
<. p>Although many girls complain that Kiehl’s is too moisturizing, I have to say that there is a reason why this product has always been popular! It contains squalane, vitamin E and some plant essence ingredients (squalane is really an amazing moisturizer) .I have forgotten how many I have used in the past five years. I apply a thick layer almost every night before going to bed, and summer is no exception (of course I apply less in summer). When I wake up in the morning, I feel moisturized and soft.
In addition, it has SPF4 sun protection factor. Apply a little before going out to protect against ultraviolet rays. Be careful not to apply too much, otherwise it will become a lard mouth. The only drawback is that the mouth of the lipstick is flat, so you either have to spread it with your hands, or it gets all over the mouth of the tube, which is not easy to apply.
Kiehl's lip balm comes in several flavors, such as coconut vanilla, mango mint, but none of them taste particularly fragrant. It seems that old beauty is still old beauty. It is impossible for them to make their products as fancy, sweet and delicious as the lipsticks from Neon Country.
By the way, the capacity is really large and it is very durable. I use other lip balms basically once a month because I have to reapply them frequently. Kiehl's lip balm lasts for a long time, and you don't need to apply it all day long. It can be used for almost half a year.
Blistex Small Blue Can
Looks like Fengyoujing and smells like mints. The mint content is very high, so it is cool when applied on the mouth, which is more suitable for use in summer. The word "medicinal" is written on the package, and it is mainly used for lip bubbles and ulcers. The blue can has good moisturizing properties, but one drawback is that it is inconvenient to take out, and the hand-digging design is not hygienic enough.
Although the effect of the little blue can is not bad, I still have to remind you. Let’s take a look at the ingredient list and reminder on the package first:
Ingredients:
Camphor camphor (irritating)
Menthol, menthol
Petrolatum petrolatum, petroleum jelly
Phenol phenols, phenol (used as preservatives, toxic, ordinary cosmetics can be ignored, but this is lip balm, it will be eaten in the stomach _(:з ∠)_)
Furthermore, it is written in Direction that it cannot be used more than three to four times a day, so it is better to use it sparingly.
eos lip balm
It has a very cute shape. It is a rare arc-shaped lip balm that can be applied directly on the lips in the form of a ball. The top four ingredients in EOS are: coconut oil, olive oil, beeswax, and jojoba oil, so overall it seems to be mainly vegetable oils, taking a natural and organic route, and does not contain preservatives. But I personally feel that the effect is too bland and not powerful enough. My lips are naturally dry, so it’s probably only suitable for summer. But because it’s easy to carry, I still carry it in my bag sometimes, and my lips feel a little dry. Just apply a little when needed. However, it can only be used for emergencies, and it cannot be used before going to bed to moisturize your mouth after getting up in the morning. The only advantage is that it's cheap.
DHC Olive Oil Lip Balm
DHC Lip Balm has pure and mild ingredients. The first ingredient in the ingredient list is lanolin, coconut oil-derived fats and wax, and the sixth place is olive oil. (The one mentioned in the advertisement contains a lot of olive oil essence! (__□′)_︵┻━┻), and then there is squalane, and the following ingredients are also okay. It is a simple and safe route, and the moisturizing degree is quite good. The price is affordable, it's long-lasting, and it requires less re-applying. It's thin and easy to carry.
BURT'SBEES Pomegranate Lip Balm
This is the largest brand. The characteristic is 100% natural. The pomegranate lip balm has an almost non-existent moisturizing effect. The ingredients seem to be very safe and safe, including sunflower seed oil, beeswax, sweet almond oil, cinnamon leaf essential oil, rosemary, coconut oil, and orange oil. However, since BURT'SBEES never does animal testing, it will never be able to enter the Chinese market freely, but that does not mean that it is unreliable.
The disadvantage is that the paste is too thick. It's hard, and I'm not used to the taste, but after rubbing it slowly on my mouth, it softens after a while. After applying this, the dead skin on my lips often falls off by itself. By the way, its beeswax lip balm. The effect is equally good.
Shiseido Moilip Medicinal Lip Balm
Strictly speaking, this should be used to treat cheilitis and angular stomatitis. It may not be effective for ordinary dry lips. But it’s really good news for patients with cheilitis~ Peeling? No! Cracked corners of the mouth? No! I used this method to cure peeling and bleeding lips a few years ago. But if you don’t have cheilitis, I wouldn’t recommend it. I haven’t used it since the inflammation healed, but this product is really effective in treating cheilitis.
Fresh Brown Sugar Lip Balm
Fresh’s lip balm is so sweet that I want to eat it. The shortcomings are also obvious. The lipstick is too soft. It will break or melt if you are not careful in the hot summer, so you must apply it gently, otherwise it may become a lump of lipstick on your mouth.
Maybe it’s because the lipstick is very soft, so I ran out of it soon after using it. If you keep using it, your lip condition will improve to some extent. I think the durability is okay, not particularly long-lasting but its ability to lock in moisture is great. All things considered, the price/performance ratio is not high and I will not repurchase.
Mentholatum Lip Balm
I used countless bottles of Mentholatum when I was a student. The good thing is that the price is cheap and they are sold in Watsons supermarkets. The effect is worth the price. Sometimes my mouth feels like it's stuck and it's not breathable. For students with limited budget, it is still possible.
Finally, I would like to mention the Dior LIPGLOW color-changing lipstick. It is placed last because it is a colored lipstick.
In addition to liking how moisturizing it is, I also particularly like the effect it has on my lips. I don't think color-changing lipstick can be regarded as lipstick, but it combines the advantages of lipstick and lipstick. The color of the lipstick will be different depending on factors such as temperature. Sometimes I put it on light pink, sometimes it is redder.
Sometimes when I go out, I feel that wearing lip balm is too plain, and wearing lipstick is too grand, so LIPGLOW, a light and subtle pink between lipstick and lip balm, is low-key and naturally improves the complexion. , I particularly like it. This elegant and soft color is very suitable for daily use, but it is not recommended for girls with too dark lip colors. The color will not be so obvious when applied.
Among the lip balms I have used, these are the ones that impressed me the most. For me, you really get what you pay for when it comes to lip balm, and the ingredients and formula have a huge impact on the price. Generally, cheap lip balms are just the most basic wax + oil (inferior lip balms are even industrial paraffin!). Mid-to-high-end price lipsticks are formulated to have stronger penetrating power, are more moisturizing, and have longer-lasting effects.
As for lip balm, which one is better, cream, gel or cream?
I think, cream and gel are more suitable for carrying and applying. However, most of the wax content in general pastes is high, and the moisturizing properties are not as good as other types of lip balms. _Gel and cream lip balms contain relatively less wax and are semi-solid, so they are more moisturizing. However, I don’t really like creamy forehead, it’s too unhygienic to apply.
By the way, I want to say a few more words about lip protection:
●The most important thing is of course - don’t lick your lips! Don’t lick your lips! The more you lick, the drier they will be. !
●Lip protection is not just for autumn and winter. It must be done all year round to be effective in the long run.
●Before applying lipstick every night, it is best to apply a hot towel to your lips for about a minute to completely soften the lips and allow the lipstick to be better absorbed.
●Every time before I apply lipstick, I lightly apply a layer of lip balm to protect my lips. Of course, in this case, the color rendering of the lipstick is very high. If the color rendering is not good, it will not be able to apply color at all, right?
●When removing lip makeup, use a cotton pad and eye and lip makeup remover, apply it gently on your lips, and let the makeup remover melt the makeup; be sure not to rub too hard, as it will cause lip lines over time.
●When your lips are chapped or peeled, do not tear them with your hands or bite them, otherwise they will damage the lip mucosa. First, moisten your lips with a hot towel. The dead skin will soften and fall off easily, then gently rub it off with your fingertips, and then apply the most moisturizing lip balm.
2. The difference between lip glaze and lipstick
1. Higher degree of color development
Because of its special texture, lip glaze has better color development ability Better than most lipsticks. Basically, one stroke of coloring is all it takes. Unless you want the effect of flaming red lips, it doesn't take much time to create a beautiful lip color.
2. Better battery life
If lipstick is not applied with a lipstick raincoat, it will easily stick to the teeth or the rim of the cup. But there are some lip glazes that claim not to fall off even if you kiss them! If you can't even think of applying makeup all day long, patchy lip color will be embarrassing, so a long-lasting lip gloss is definitely a good helper.
3. The sponge tip is easier to use
There are many shapes of lipstick tips, but novices will inevitably not be able to take care of the corners of the mouth, nor can they draw the lip peaks well. However, the sponge head of the lip gloss particularly fits the lip curve and is relatively small, suitable for outlining delicate lip shapes.
5. Don’t be picky about lip condition
The texture of lipstick is roughly divided into matte and moist. Matte lipstick particularly requires lip condition. If there is peeling, It also feels very cheap after applying makeup. If you use lip gloss, you can cover this perfectly.
