When it comes to lip balms, I usually don’t purchase those packaged in tins as it’s not as hygienic as those in sticks. I have to fiddle with the cap which can sometimes be a little stuck and then have to dip one finger into the product. Afterwards, I have to wash my hand and it isn’t that practical to do this when I have no access to water. However when I saw NIVEA Lip Butter Vanilla & Macadamia, I had to get it especially because it was on discount at Guardian.

It smells great, what better combination than vanilla and macadamia. When I apply it just before I go to sleep, I can still feel it on my lips the next morning. Keeps my lips hydrated and nourished for a long time. So that makes up for the fact that it’s packaged in a tin.
