Review Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm

Allô!

Sorry before for the very very late post ! :( We have gone through a terrible week for the final exam last May and we just need some time off. It turns out we kinda abandon this blog for a while.. But worry not our fellow reader! Now we're back again! So brace yourself! Get ready for a plenty of posts!!

I've told you before that I've a strange addiction to lip balm. I've to apply lip balm for every half an hour or it will swells and hurts me (rarely chapped however). So one day when I was going for a night-out, I forgot to bring my lip balm (this has happens for several times already, fyi). And in the midst of panic and desperation, I grabbed Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm at the drugstore. I bought it for only idr 18. It is so affordable and easy to find. If you live in Indonesia, you could find this lip balm in supermarket like Hypermart and Carrefour, or drugstore like Century and Watsons.

Back then, one of my close friend recommended this lip balm to me. She said that she loves this product and I should try it too. In the midst of desperation I remember what she said to me, so I choose Baby Lips.

Turns out that I love love love this lip balm so much, I decided to try all three of them. Hahaha. A first I'm a bit confused because the US version and Indonesia version are different. In Indonesia, this product only has 3 flavor and not tinted.

Review Kosé Happy Bath Day Precious Rose Rose Enrich Lip Essence

Allô!

I am a sucker for pink and cute packaging, especially if it's from Japan. And perhaps, that's the main reason why I bought this cutie Kosé Happy Bath Day Precious Rose Rose Enrich Lip Essence. Kosé launched this Happy Bath Day Precious Rose which (obviously) consists of bath products. It comes with cleansing oil, hand cream, body gel, powder spray, and so on. But what attracts me is its cute, pink, and girly packaging.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Nourishing and hydrating essence gives lips a glossy luster while smoothing out roughness and treating dryness, for irresistibly softer and smoother lips. Luscious rose scent lingers on your lips, effectively calming and soothing senses with every swipe. High gloss formula delivers intense moisturization that plumps up lips and reduces lines. For best results, swipe lip essence on clean lips as often as needed.

PACKAGING
It has a quite soft pink with roses packaging. It holds around 8 gr, small enough to easily bring out with. It comes with a small tube which is great because it is hygienic enough to use rather than if it comes in a jar.

TEXTURE
Unlike the traditional stick lip balm  lip essence usually has a clear gel texture, and so does this product. At first I kinda feel disappointed with  the sticky feeling right after I squished out the product out of its tube. But when I smeared it all over my lips, actually it is not feeling sticky at all, I even feel it moisture my lips well. Although I feel kinda upset about its smell. When I read about Rose Enrich, I immediately thought about rose fragrance, thus I kinda excited. Instead, it has a weird smell, people said it smells like honey. But I feel it has a chemical smell to it. The smell in not strong enough to bother me though.

RESULT

This product indeed does it job to moisture my lips. It helps my dry lips and prevent it to chapped again. My lips feel so smooth and I like the fact that it doesn't feel sticky at all. It has a clear finish, so it could be used as a lipstick base.

Positive:

- Cute and girly packaging

- Hygienic tube

- Non-sticky gel

- Moisture and hydrate really well

Negative:

- Hard to find in Indonesia

- Smell like chemical (most people said it smells like honey though)

Recommended?

Yes. It will be nice to try this product. It really does it job to moisture the lips. But I bought this product when I was in Japan, I don't really know if you could find it in Indonesia. You can try to buy it online though. Anyway, it's just feels nice to switch for a while from the traditional lip-balm stick which I usually use.

Review Mentholatum Medicated Lip Stick

Allô!

Hey everyone! Today I want to share about a product I can't live without, lip-balm. Back then, I've a really severe lip conditions. Due to some unrecognized reasons, my lips swell up and the skin around my mouth is really itchy and red. And the product that save me is Mentholatum Medicated Lip Stick. I've been using this product ever since my elementary school actually, and I'm still using this until today. I have a strange need for using lip balm. After I could bought things with my own money, I will try one lip balm to another but eventually will get back to this product.

Actually, I don't know why this product is called medicated lips stick while it is actually a lip balm. Anyway, I've a lifetime stock of this product in my house. Got this straight from Japan. I have relatives in Japan, so from time to time they will send me this product. I don't really know if you could get this product in Indonesia though.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
"MENTHOLATUM Mediacated Lip Stick" is a medicated lipstick that gives a fresh, invigorating sensation on use. Covers the surface of the lips, guarding it from dry, cold air, preventing chapping and dryness. Contains menthol and camphor, excellent for providing an refreshing sensation to the lips. This is a non-medicinal product.

PACKAGING

Mentholatum Medicated Lip Stick has a fairly simple packaging. Dark green background with white fonts. The cap is pretty tight so you don't need to worry for it to open when you put inside your bag. It has a sturdy body. But I hate the fact that to pull the product out you need to roll it from the bottom. It has the tendency to stuck.

TEXTURE
Tis lip balm has a really strong mint feeling. So if you don't really like the cool and a bit harsh feeling on your lips, this product won't suit well. But since I love the mint feeling, it is okay with me. It has a sturdy texture so it won't chapped easily. This lip balm also fragrance free.

RESULT
I love love love this product. If you have a really chapped lips, this product will fix it all. Your lips will feel so smooth and cool.

Positive:
- Sturdy texture
- Strong mint feeling (depends on your preference, this could be a positive or negative trait)
- Fragrance free
- Secure packaging

Negative:
- Hard to find in Indonesia

Recommended?
Yes. I would love to recommend my life-safer product to everyone especially to those who have a dry and heavily chapped lips. This product really suit my needs and I've been using this as long as I could remember.

à bientôt!
