Now, I should probably admit to being somewhat of a lip
balm/butter/salve addict. I cannot get enough of them. So when I found
out Nivea was bringing out not one but two of my favourite scents in one single
pot, I rushed down to my local pharmacy to check it out. The moment I tore off the lid I wasn’t
disappointed, the smell was just divine.
Straight away it reminded me of something from my childhood and a little while later, it hit me - Jammie Dodgers! The aroma is exactly like the jam from Jammie
Dodgers (the little shortbread biscuit with the heart in the middle filled with raspberry jam - most children's go-to biscuit here in the UK, at least back in my day anyway). No wonder I fell in love immediately.
Whilst the smell is incredible, I have to be honest, the
actual butter isn’t totally up my street; it’s a little bit too waxy for me and
leaves an unusual, pale film on your lips. This can be seen as a pro or con
depending on your frame of mind. The
butter itself does feel pretty hydrating though, containing both shea butter and almond oil. The tin is really cute and a great size to fit in your handbag or pocket.Nivea also offer Original, Caramel Cream, and Vanilla and Macadamia in the same range. Personally the latter two smelt a little bit too sickly for me but, then again, I am more of a fruity fiend! If you like sweet things you'll love those.
All in all I’d recommend trying this for the smell alone and
maybe using it as a lip balm before bed if you’re not too keen on the milky
film. They’re not too pricey either; my pot cost around £2 which is around the same price as a tin of Vaseline.
