Nivea Med Protection Lip Balm SPF 15 Review

by Venetha

Hi my friends!
We generally keep a few beauty staples that we reach out to often in our handbag. Ask any girl what such a makeup essential is and she will be quick to answer “Lip balm!” This is one small wonder that is really handy to keep our lips in good shape. Healthy lips are a reflection of a happy body. Today I will be reviewing the Nivea med protection lip balm which was the first lip balm I had ever purchased.

Claims of the Lip Balm:

The formula with the natural ingredients bisabol and wheat germ oil support the lips’ natural moisturisation process and protect them before they crack. NIVEA Lip Care Med Protection is a must-have in dry conditions.

Strengthens the resistance of your lips against external influences.
Gives long lasting moisture
Provides extra care and protection
Contains SPF 15, protection against UVA and UVB rays

Price:

Rs. 145 for 4.8 grams

Ingredients:

My Take on Nivea Med Protection Lip Balm:

The lip balm comes in a twisting type tube that is hassle free unlike the ones that come in tubs. The packaging is nothing extraordinary.

The lip balm itself is yellowish in color in the tube but it goes on clear when applied; no color tints. Just one or two swipes across the lip are sufficient. It is a little heavy or waxy and doesn’t get absorbed easily. I can feel a waxy film sitting on top of my lips. It has a very mild peppermint like fragrance but it has nothing to do with the flavor. It has no taste as such, so no worries about licking it off like I do with my fruit flavored lip balms 😛

I made a small research regarding the ingredients and came to know that bisabol is an extract from chamomile flowers. It has anti inflammatory and cell regenerative properties. Just like the lip balm is supposed to work, it heals and repairs lips in a matter of few days which is amazing. I use this product when my lips get extremely dry and chapped. I apply it before I go to bed and leave it on overnight. My lips feel better and softer when I wake up in the morning.

Our lips are really delicate and get easily damaged by the sun. This is where lip products with sun protection come to our rescue. SPF 15 in this lip balm is really cool. It is ideal to layer under your lipstick or wear it alone if you are not into the tinted chap sticks.

Why I like this Lip Balm?:

Heals and softens chapped lips
Sun protection – SPF 15
Tube type chap stick which is hygienic
Travel friendly
Lasts quite long
Reasonable pricing

Why I don’t like this Lip Balm?:

Waxy and heavy on lips

MABH Rating: 3/5

Final Verdict:

I would personally prefer this only when my lips are screaming out for help. Otherwise I am good to go with other lighter tinted lip balms.

Pink Lolita

My Take on Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Lolita Lip Balm:

This lip balm comes in a cute pink twist up tube, quite convenient and hygienic. The lip balm stick is bright pink. It smells like a candy but very mild fragrance.

It is a bright pink balm stick which is quite sturdy, never faced melting problem even in hot summer. It glides on lips smoothly. On application it turns out to be a very mildly tinted pink. The smell is candilicious and fragrance stays for a good time.

It moisturizes my lips which are quite dry. It is neither waxy nor sticky. It is also light on my lips. I love the glazy effect on my lips and quite often use it underneath lipstick. This pinky also stayed on my lips for a decent time.

Everything was fine until I noticed the ingredient list. Even though I have used it earlier but never bothered about what is it made of. Actually, it contains loads of chemical (which we study/ied in our organic chemistry chapters!) hence it became one con.

What I like about Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Lolita Lip Balm:

Convenient and hygienic tube package
Contains SPF 16
Decent staying power
It heals chapped lips
No melting problem
Lips are well moisturized
Affordable price

What I don’t like about Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Lolita Lip Balm:

Lots of chemical ingredients

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 4/5

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, it’s a good one.

Would I Repurchase?:

I want to try other variants.

Maybelline Baby Lips Anti Oxidant Berry Lip Balm Review

Hi everyone,
Hope you all are doing well. Today’s product is one of my favorite and it is a must have in my handbag. I am talking about Maybelline Baby Lips. I really don’t like to put up make up everyday. But I love using lip balms and lip glosses. I bought it six months back when I went for a shopping with my friend. She was already using it and had a very good experience. So needless to say, I bought it. I got Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in Anti oxidant Berry since no other shades were available.

Claims of the Lip Balm:

No more Basic Lip Balm
Visibly renewed lips and 8-hr hydration
The secret: Exclusive lip renew formula with SPF 20
Protects and moisturizes lips for full 8 hours
After 4 weeks , Lips are visible renewed and reborn
7 Varieties

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 125 for 4 gm

Shelf Life:

30 Months

My Take on Maybelline Baby Lips Anti Oxidant Berry Lip Balm:

First of all, it is a colorless lip balm. Prior to this I was using Nivea Strawberry Lip Balm which was a tinted one. But my lips used to get dry after one hour from the application. I have to reapply it again and again.

Talking about Maybelline baby Lips, I haven’t got any such issue with this buddy. If I apply it in morning around 10 am and it stays till my lunch time. Let me tell you I take my lunch at 1 pm. So you can imagine its power. It hydrates and moisturizes my lips very well. I didn’t find it heavy at all. It just gives a nice shine to my lips. I even use it at night before sleeping. I have a habit of scrubbing my lips with the help of toothbrush in morning. After scrubbing, my lips just looks amazing.

I just love to see those soft and healthy lips. I seal the moisture with this lip balm after this scrubbing session. The fragrance is very mild. The most important benefit of this lip balm is SPF Factor. It has SPF 20 which protects our lips from darkening. I regularly do the scrubbing and moisturizing on my lips, so can’t say anything about its 7 Days promise which gives you renewed and reborn lips.

PROS of the Lip Balm:

Easy to use
Comes is convenient stick form.
Nice berry scent
It has SPF 20
Gives nice shine to lips
Stays up to 4 hours
Gives soft and supple lips
Available in different shades
Budget friendly

CONS of the Lip Balm:

Couldn’t Find any.

MABH Rating: 5/5

Final Verdict:

Well, I have become a big fan of this lip balm and want to try the tinted ones as well. I would like to recommend to all girls who like to have soft and supple lips.
