CVS Beauty Club Freebie Review

CVS is a couponer's delight.  I am a member of the CVS ExtraCare Beauty Club and this entitles me to $5 EBucks with every $50 purchase.  Beauty items include lotion, soap, cotton balls and the like, so I rack the dollars up quickly. Regular make-up is always on sale and of course, this is another way to quickly earn the EBucks.

A couple of months ago, I got a store coupon for Free Nivea A Kiss of Care and Color lip care.  I immediately picked up this item and wanted to give it a review.

The Nivea  A  Kiss of Care and Color is available in a few shades, but the only one left on the shelf was the sheer berry lip care.  I noticed there was asheer  mocha shade, but again, those were all gone.  I normally stay away from reddish colors, but since it was a freebie I thought, what the hay.  The lip care has a white center, surrounded by the sheer berry color.  I liked the look of the outer plastic dispenser, makes it easier to spot and also easy to find down in the bottom of my purse since itssilver and the size of a tube of lipstick instead of the size of a tube of chap stick.

I immediately, opened it after purchase and it went on smoothly with a glossy sheen.  I was not wearing make-up that day so it gave my lips an immediate boost.  The color was sheer with just a hint of berry, not to red, more mauve.  I liked it. My lips were gliding (I like that) for about 5 minutes and then I had to re-apply.  That is the only draw back for me, it does not seem to last long at all, even if I am not eating...talk too much and the stuff is gone!  Knowing that I probably would refrain from purchasing it unless I wanted to wear it over or under a lipstick.  I give it 2 out of 5 stars because it gives a blank canvas face and immediate lift, is not overbearingly red and there is ample product in the tube...you'll need it for the amount of re-application you'll have to do.  I have had it for two months and use it just about everyday.
