I got 2 out of the 3 available types; strawberry & shimmer!
Now I'm ready to let you guys know what I think of the products!
Do you know that these are also suitable for sensitive lips?
And Mentholatum has been the leading brand in Japan for lipbalm up to this date!
Let's start off with the Strawberry stick
Swatching on my hand
& on my lips~
My verdict:
3.5/5
The tube when first opened look so innocent~ So I applied a generous amount on my
lips.
After 5 minutes, my lips became super pink!
I did not read the packaging properly, so I didn't realise the colour will change ^^;;
But still, the pink was a little too pink for my lips.
It lasted the whole day [the lip stain] but the moisturising effect did not last as long
as the colour. Thus, despite my bright reddish pink lips, I needed to touch up again,
making it even brighter >.>
I tried to apply with a lighter hand the next day and it helps in taming the colour a little
when applied regularly in the day.
Overall, I thought the colour could be a little less pink but moisturising wise, it was
able to last about 4 hours before I had to touch up a little. Another thing I liked about
it is the packaging!
Looks a lot sleeker than normal lip balms. Oh, and it's pink ^^v
Moving on to the Shimmer lip balm
Close up
Swatched on hand
Pyong~
I have duck mouth D: [apparently it's the trend in Japan for acting cute -_-]
My verdict:
4/5
Firstly, the moisturising effect is on par with it's sister, the strawberry one as
mentioned above. Colour wise, it is not as pink as the strawberry one and though it
has shimmery bits, it is not look too outrageous on the lips. Since the colour is
lighter, touching up did not give me any problem of having overly bright, red lips.
Once again, pink and sleek packaging. LOVE IT!
