Yummy Cherry Lips

All you ladies must have experienced this sometime. You know how some days you just don't feel like wearing makeup? When you're not in the mood to be slapping on stuff?

Like say if you're on a day full of errands, and you just want to dust on some powder and go. But you also need something to make sure you don't look too pale?

I would know, because it happens to me pretty often. And so I'd like to introduce you to (yet) another one of my lipbalms - Nivea Lipcare Cherry.

Those of you who know me, will know that I sometimes have very pale lips. Sometimes. No idea why. I've had people walk up to me and ask me if I was sick before. Yes, it can be THAT bad.

So to avoid incidences like that, this Cherry lipbalm is my usual go-to.

Swipe one layer and it gives my lips a very light cherry tint. Swipe on a few layers and it can actually look quite red. It does brighten up my complexion and makes me look like I've got lovely rosy lips. Anybody doesn't WANT lovely rosy lips? No? I thought so. =P


It's also balmy enough to keep those lips from chapping, and believe me, my lips chap very easily. No wonder then that I'm addicted to lipbalm!

I've also used this in place of lipsticks even on some makeup days. If it's tinted lips I want for my look, this lippie works great too.

(Before: Pale, pale lips.)

(After: Lovely rosy lips!)

Just a little warning though, for those of you with sensitive noses. It has a fragrance which I would describe as sweet. But Kahani says "it smells like the cough mixture I had when I was a kid". LOL. So take a whiff if you can. Just so you know.

This yummy cherry can be found at most drugstores for less than RM10 I believe, so it's wallet-friendly enough.

Other fetishes may come and go, but lipbalms are for keeps. =P
