Advantages: lasts, nice shine Disadvantages: leaves marks on everything
on nice and easily. After one coat my lips look shiny with just a hint of colour. The shine and colour deepen as you apply more coats, but I think 3 is probably the maximum you would want to apply as more than that doesn't actually seem to enhance the effect at all, so you're really just wasting product.
~~The feel~~
After application I can feel the product on my lips. They feel a bit wet and ever so slightly sticky. It doesn't appear to dry out my lips at all, but I'm not convinced it's made them any softer. The gloss doesn't seem to dry as ten minutes later I can still feel wetness on my lips, and when I touch my lips a bit comes off my on my fingers. I guess this is normal for a lip gloss, but it's a slightly uncomfortable feeling, and it feels as if the gloss will come off on anyone/thing I eat, drink or kiss.

Advantages: Gives a great shine to lips Disadvantages: Can be a bit sticky
These gives lips a very shiny and wet look at the same time as moisturising your lips.
**Packaging**
These come in a tube with the colour of the gloss on show. They have a silver coloured end and a clear screw off lid. They do have a clear sticker on them which says Hi ShineLip Treatment and also has the new body shop logo on it.
**Key Ingrediants**
This has marula nut oil which is a very intense moisturiser, it also has essential fatty acids which help restore your lips to full softness. It also contains lanolin oil and avocado oil, these both helps to soften and smooth lips.

Nivea Lip Care - Pearl & Shine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About a year ago I was in town and had really dry sore lips so I popped into boots to see what I could find. Amongst the various lip balms, glosses, creams etc I saw a quite cute looking pink lip stick shaped thing which was attached to a cardboard back. I tend to buy things is they look pretty and once I saw it was made by Nivea I figured it couldn't be bad! So I brought it without really paying much attention to what it was! As far as I was concerned it would stop my lips feeling sore and that was good!
It cost me around £2 for the 4.8g stick so that wasn't too bad.
When I went to use it, I paid attention to what the packaging said for the first time! The stick itself is the same size, shape and design as your basic lipstick container ...
