Without even thinking about it, I've reached for my trusty tube of Nivea's A Kiss of Care & Color in Sheer Berry, $4, so many times that I've worn it down to a nub. In fact, it wasn't until it was almost gone that I started thinking about what makes it so great -- because it's great in such an understated way.
At first glance, it seems like a basic balm. But the formula is incredibly moisturizing -- it feels silky on your lips, and that silkiness lasts for a long time. It also has the perfect amount of tint -- enough to make my pale lips look alive, but not so much that I need a mirror to apply it, which might explain why it's my go-to when I'm on the subway or in an elevator on my way to a meeting. It even smells lovely -- vaguely rose-like and powdery.
You see, sometimes basic is best -- and that's why I keep pulling this balm out of a pile of 699 other options. --Dawn Davis
