The scent is enough to put me off!! It smells horrible and not like honey at all. It isn't as moisturizing compared to the other lipbalms they make. It feels a little waxy and I find it better to use as a base under drying lipsticks. I like Nivea lip products in general, but I think I'll skip on repurchasing this.

I like this lip-balm. It doesn't dry out my lips any further and moisturizes them pretty well. It feels quite slick and has a smooth consistency. I'm not so fond of the scent. It smells more like beeswax than honey in my opinion. Overall, it's cheap and effective and I would consider buying again.

I bought this because I heard good things about Nivea lip balms, and this was cheaper than a lot of the other lip products (at about 3 dollars) so i went ahead and got it. Initially, it was great, smelled/tasted decent and worked well under lipsticks so i continued to use it. The problem with this is product is that as soon as it wears off/absorbs your lips feel drier than before and like you need to keep reapplying. I've been using one tube for the past 3 weeks, and it's almost gone since i've been using it so much as my lips are getting drier. A couple days ago I realized that my lips were in horrible condition, and when i woke up in the morning, even after applying this liberally the night before, my lips were extremely dry and even slightly itchy, and when i smiled my lips cracked and felt awful. I haven't been using this for about 36 hours now, and my lips already feel better. I don't recommend this product as a moisturizing lip balm, maybe as a base for lipsticks but not for regular use.

Great quality lipbalm for the price. I'd been using Carmex and it just ruined my lips after a couple of months (I'm guessing due to the salicylic acid and menthol)...my lips were so chapped, dry, cracked, peeling, flaking. I developed coldsores on both sides of my mouth which would sting and bleed every time I opened my mouth to eat, and the Carmex irritated them even futher, making them bigger and worse.
So I started using this Milk and Honey lipbalm and within days my lips were starting to heal, after enduring 2 weeks of the chapped lips and 3 weeks of the painful coldsores. My lips are now so soft and smooth and my coldsores have completely gone. I apply throughout the day - probably 20 times to ensure my lips are never dry - and they just feel so moist and there is no dryness to my lips now. I love how light it feels on my lips as opposed to a heavy waxy feeling that some lipbalms can leave. Best of all it doesn't tingle/sting like the Carmex does. It smells florally and I actually like the scent. 1 tube lasts me about 4 weeks which is pretty good seeing as I use it 20 times a day every day! The look it gives to my lips is nice aswell; they don't look glossy or shiny but they do look nice and supple with a ever so slight hint of sheen. Great stuff, I will not be without this!

Total dissapointment! I bought this thinking that it would smell like milk and honey. But instead, it smells like a really heavy, almost rotten flowers. I wouldn't mind as much if the scent was lighter, but its so overwhelming! I cannot get myself to bring this towards my face. My nose cringes (if that was possible, it really would...dramatically) The taste is awful too. I gave it 2 lippies because it is moisturizing.

HG lip balm. Nothing else. This is incredibly moisturizing and really feels like a kiss of milk and honey on your lips. The smell, texture, and creaminess on my lips is amazing and have not seen flakiness/dryness since then. LOVE.

One of my top three lip balms. (The other two being any kind of Chapstick, and Burt's Bee's with mango)
Love the flowery, comfortable scent. My lips look healthy after using this and really soft. When I used this the first couple times I wasn't a huge fan, but after a while I realized it's really great.
Would recommend and repurchase.
Good job, Nivea! :)

First off, I love the packaging. It twists smoothly, like a glue stick. Second, when you apply it to your lips, it goes on smoothly as well. When I first purchased it, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it because I wasn't fond of the smell, but I got used to it so it doesn't bother me. I might feel a little greasy on your lips, but it is very moisturizing. The only problem I would have is that when you twist it back down, the stick of lip balm sometimes touches the side of the tube and scrapes off the side of the lip balm, but that's not a problem for me. It's not a big problem. I'd buy this again once I run out.

This lip balm- I bought a pack of 2 for $2.50 (although I'm giving one away) and it is so moist and hydrating. A lot of people are saying it smells floral, I agree- but it smells like a pollenated flower. It's very smooth and sleek, and goes well on the lips.

I LOVE this lip balm. It is less greasy than most, and yet it still is hydrating. I bought it on a whim (buy one, get one free), and am loving how moisturized my lips are. They feel smooth, look healthy and even feel plumper because the skin is healthier and plumper. A great purse staple.

I am really liking this lip balm. I have tried 2 other Nivea balms (the spf 15 one and the original in the blue tube) and i hated both of them, which made me hesitant to try this on. But i kept hearing about it so i decided it was worth a go. So, on a whim i picked it up for $2.99 at my local grocery store. I like this one SOOOOO much better than the others. This one is not waxy and leaves my lips feeling moisturized. the best part is, when i use it before bed i wake up with hydrated lips. something that the EOS lip balms do not give me!!!! This has replaced EOS on my bedside table, and i think i will buy a back up for my gym bag :-)
Another positive is that it contains oils like jojoba and castor and grapeseed. But i do wish they were higher up on the ingredients list.
The only negative is that i prefer for my lip balms to leave a more glossy finish. this one isnt waxy or anything, but its not as glossy as i would like...but again, thats just personal preference. Overall...REALLY REALLY LIKE IT!!!! I am not 100% in love because it hasnt transitioned into a HG product for me, just a very very good staple to havel

I am really impressed with this lip balm! I've tried a Nivea lip balm once in the past and did not like it, it was really hard and didn't apply well on my lips but I decided to give this a chance because I heard good things about it and there was a 2 for 1 package deal. I looove the texture of this balm! It's so smooth and buttery. Many lip balms I've tried are really hard and waxy but this is really nice and soft and easy to apply. I love that it doesn't feel waxy like chapstick does. It has a nice texture like lip butters do but feels like it lasts longer on the lips than lip butters. It really does make my lips feel nice and soft and moisturized. I will definitely repurchase!

This is definitely my favorite of the Nivea lip balms. The smell is a milk-y honey, soothing and not too strong. The texture is very nice, not too waxy or greasy, just the right combination. It's long-lasting and affordable...what's not to like?

I love it! I religiously apply this stuff before sleep, and I never have a problem with chapped lips...great balm!! But the scent is quite not typical lip balm scent, it's like sweets mixed with honey and milk?....I don't know, I'm suck to describe it, but personally I don't have a problem with it. Definitely gonna repurchase!

I love the regular Nivea lip products so when I found out they were doing a natural line, I got really excited as I have recently become interested in using natural and organic products. The milk & honey lip gloss isn't as vanilla smelling as I would have expected, but the scent isn't bad and given that its supposed to be honey, it smells quite pleasant (I don't really like honey). It pretty much has the same consistency as the essential care lip gloss, so I really like it as it's all natural and has a nice enough scent. I also love the fact that it's super cheap and easy to find!

I like this lip balm alot, actually lately I've been really liking any Nivea lipbalm. So when I was at my local Target, I saw they had the Nivea lip balms in b1g1f packs for $2.49 so I got overly excited, and grabbed one of each. I liked this one because of the cute packaging, and the smell, I wouldn't say it smells like milk and honey, other reviewers are saying floral, and I'd probably agree. And, of course being the main purpose of the lip balm it does make my lips soft. (:

I love this product!
It really helped my lips! It was moisturising, soft and tasted great! It was also great, because it is not very visible and you can wear it at all occasions. Will definitely buy this product again when I run out, price was not too bad either! :) In fact, i love the whole Nivea line. It's great how they give you so many different types! :)
