Labello by Nivea (Review and Swatches)

I have been using the fruity shine labello for a year and its my absolutely favourite product. I use this the year round and more so in winters. I have been using labello's for 14 years now and have never had the need to turn to any other lib balm. It has always been a favourite. And with this range of fruity shines Nivea has made them my everyday staple be it just as a balm for day wear or as a base for my lipsticks and gloss for a party or as a gloss over my lipstick when I am out with friends. I never leave home without one of these in my bag!

Today I am reviewing two of my favourite labello's from the fruity shine range. 

Labello in Fruity Shine Pomegranate

I got this last year and has been my favourite product ever since.

What I love about it

It is the most pigmented and gives a crimson tinge to the lips and the shimmer particles look beautiful in the sun or lights. Also as it is a lip balm the glossiness of the balm is perfect for chapped lips in winters. It has all the qualities of a great lip balm. The smell is reminiscent of the body shop pomegranate range which I can not help but love.

How I use it

I apply it just as it is when I go out during the day. It gives a crimson tinge, glossiness and shimmer. Perfect! Although to achieve this I have to apply two coats or more!

For an outing or lunch out I apply my sheer pink lipstick and a coat or two of this. Colour Check, Shimmer Check, Hint of Shine Check! No need to carry a lip gloss! Keep Reapplying as needed!

For a formal dinner or a wedding I use this as a base to keep my lips hydrated then apply a lipstick of choice (red mostly ;)) and top it with a clear gloss and I am all set! I keep this in my tiny clutch to keep reapplying through out the night!

Labello in Fruity Shine Strawberry

I got this recently and have yet to try it for night wear or an outing but I have been using this as day wear and I love this too.

What I love about it

It is less pigmented than the pomegranate and gives a coral tinge to the lips and the shimmer particles look equally beautiful in the sun. Also as it is a lip balm the glossiness of the balm is perfect for chapped lips in winters. It has all the qualities of a great lip balm. The smell reminds me of fresh strawberries which is wonderful.

How I use it

Due to the less pigmentation it is sheerer than the pomegranate so I guess I will be using this for the day mostly. Just slap on as many coats as you want to get your desired colour and you are all set to go out!

I got the pomegranate from Chase last year but unfortunately I wasnt able to stock up on it this year as Chase did not have it any more. The strawberry I got from Naheed's but they too did not carry the pomegranate.

Priced at PKR 200 it is a great bargain as you get colour, shimmer, and gloss in a single product.

This is for you if

This may not be for you if
