I’ve been putting Nivea cream on my flakey lips for years – it does a great job. Now Nivea has come out with a lip care line, so you can toss it in your purse and keep your lips in perfect condition all day, which is especially nice in a winter like this.

There are several choices in the line, but here’s a few of the highlights:

Nivea Lip Care A Kiss Of Moisture, Essential Lip Care: the basic version in the line – provides moisture with no frills. I’d guess it would be the closest to applying the cream to your lips.  $2.49.
Nivea Lip Care A Kiss Of Flavor, Cherry Tinted Lip Care: if you like the color that cherry chap stick gives your lips (and if you don’t use it, take a look at a pic of Liv Tyler – she wears it all the time and always has the perfect color), then this cherry tinted Nivea will be perfect. $2.49
Nivea Lip Care SOS Balm: For seriously dry lips. Contains shea butter. $3.29
Nivea Lip Care A Kiss Of Shimmer, Pearly Shimmer Lip Care: Gives a delicate shimmer to lips – the shimmer would ostensibly also make an any lip color more sheer if you slicked on the Nivea before applying your lipstick. $2.49
Nivea Lip Care A Kiss Of Shine, Pink Glossy Lip Care: the Nivea formula also comes in a few lip gloss shades (yay!), including this pink one. It also comes in a beautiful red (that kind of color that doesn’t look too intense on – just like your lips but better), and a clear. $3.29

I haven’t tried any of them yet but will report when I do. You can find them in the Nivea Store at Drugstore.com. I’m really excited about this line.

I have my eye on their new powder powderflage – what a perfect pink tone.
