With the weather going on these days turning from freezing cold from the rain to freakishly hot with the burning sun. With the crazy change in the weather it has done a pretty decent job of messing up my lips no matter how much water I drank. So my mum went to Watson to grab a few things and I decided to buy a stick type of balm and I found this along the choices.
The Nivea Watering Lip Series
Nourishing Avocado
It contains Avocado Oil and Lotus extract that helps to moisturize lips long lastingly. It is also enhanced with Hydra IQ moisture technology for deep moisturization.
It comes in a tiny tube about 1.5 cm width and about 9 cm in length including the cap. It is a light blue tube with a translucent cap. I love the colour! The lip balm is the usual white and it applies on pretty smoothly.
So much hydration is what caught my attention. So I decided to give it a try. I feel kinda disappointed thought. I love Nivea products but the Lip series was pretty much a disappointment. I've been using it every once in a while for the whole day today and I found that it's pretty moisturizing but it feels kinda oily.
As for the moisturizing level, it is pretty decent for hydration. I guess I gotta use it for a week to see if it did change the condition of my lips. However I find it not really long lasting. I find myself reapplying it quite often. Not sure if it's because I have a lot of dead skin on my lip or this product is making me peel a little bit more than usual.
It doesn't have a icky after applying on your lips but it still has a little taste to it. For me personally it is still tolerable cause it's not a strong taste to it. I can't really explain how it taste or smell but it is pretty decent.
PROS
- It is cheap as compared to other brands.
- It comes in a stick which is easy to carry around during travelling.
- It provides a decent amount of hydration.
- Does not have a lotion kind of taste to it.
- It applies on pretty smoothly.
CONS
- I find it a little bit too oily when applying it for the first time.
- Moisture dries up too quickly. (Not sure if it's cause my lips were dry or it wares off quickly)
- Made my lips peel a little more than usual.
RATINGS
Hydration - 8.5/10
Application - 9.5/10
Packaging - 9.5/10
Overall - 8/10
Will I buy it again once I've finish using it?
I don't think I'll be purchasing it again. I might be choosing another type but I will still be choosing Nivea just not this particular Lip Series.
Comeback for more updates on other products that I might find along the way.

I just came across this post, and read about this product. This looks like a product for me. Thanks for sharing it with us and i will try to tell you about the results after i try it on.
this is the only product which can do magic into chappy lips too bad, Nivea USA don't carry this good stuff..
I have the same lip balm and it seems to peel my lips and making my chappy lips worse. I was looking if anyone has the same problem or my chappy lips had become worse. Glad I found the root of my problem.
