[Review] Mentholatum Deep Moist Lipbalm

Mentholatum Deep Moist Lipbalm

Deep Moist was launched in 2008 in Japan and has seen tremendous success and popularity there. It quickly became top selling lip balms in Japan’s lip care market. This strengthened Mentholatum Lip Balm Brand leadership as the #1 Top Selling Lip Balm brand in Japan* (2006 to 2009).

The success of Deep Moist is due to 2 main factors, its premium hydrating ingredients at value pricing, and its elegant, ergonomic packaging design.

1. The key moisturizing ingredients in Deep Moist lip balms are:

:: Hyaluronic Acid - a premium ingredient that forms a smooth, moisture locking shield for softer, smoother lips. It can hold 1000X its weight in water, or 6 litres of water with just 1g.

:: Shea Butter -  heals the skin, and gives a soft, pleasant texture to the lip balm.

:: Jojoba Oil - gives pro-longed, whole day hydration to the lips.

Full Ingredients List:

Mineral Oil, Paraffin, Petrolatum, Hydrogenated Avocado Oil, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Lanolin, Pentylene Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Water, Sodium Hyaluronate

2. The Deep Moist lip balm comes in an innovative Blue, oval-shaped container design that fits the corner of the mouth well and makes it easy to apply with a single swipe. A Japanese consumer commented, “This oval-shaped design fits the corner of my mouth so well that the Deep Moist lip balm can be applied easily without affecting the foundation near my mouth.”

As usual, above were all from the press release.
Now for my personal review!

The shape of the product is really good!
Just like what they claimed, I could apply it on the corners of my mouth easily.

Left: Before, Right: After
See that my lips became smoother and has lesser cracks?

I think this product really serves its purpose (of hydrating and repairing) well.
The texture is similar (slightly less thick) compared to Burt's Bees lipbalms and thicker than lipice.

Used the Deep Moist lipbalm as a based and tried creating ombre lips!
With the Deep Moist lipbalm as a base, my lipstick goes on smoother than before.

As you can see, the one with deep moist lipbalm as a base goes on more smoothly.
Also, the fine lines get covered up more evenly :)

Pros:
:: Hydrating and repairs
:: No smell at all
:: Works well as a lip base
(but remember to blot a little else it might be too greasy)

Cons:
:: A lil greasy/waxy
(but then again, only such products can help to repair chapped lips)

Overall, I think this product is good. It managed to smooth out my dried lips. It can be a little greasy but I think I can get over that. Lastly it works well as a lipstick base. Just remember to blot a little after applying deep moist so it will not be too greasy and your lip products won't slide around :)

That's all for this product review.
Hope you like it ;)

[Review] Mentholatum Acnes Medicated Skincare

Those who haven't met me in real life will think that I don't have much acne problems?

But I'm sorry you all got deceived by me :( I photoshop all my pimples away one.

The only times I don't photoshop photos are when I'm lazy, when I put on makeup and for advertorials.

Was super lazy when I was uploading USA photos. So I edited none of them.

Thank god my skin was better (though there were still random breakouts) in USA.

Maybe it's cause their weather is dry there? My skin hates humid weather :(

Anyways, back to the main topic - what I am planning to share with you all today.

Something that I have been using - which have saved my face occassionally.

The thing about my face is that usually there are breakouts due to period.

So whenever I'm gonna have my period, my face is horrible.

But for those non-hormone related ones, these acne products actually did save my skin before!

Yupps the products shown above ;) Now for the individual reviews?

This is the daily facial wash that my sisters and I use.

Sisters are lucky to be blessed with skin that don't have breakouts though #whyme!

I don't own any other facial wash for now, I did not buy the Shiseido one.

Tip: Do not throw away the tube once you can no longer squeeze out anymore products.

Instead, cut it open at the middle (then you can still sort of slot them together again).

Because there are always a lot of products left on the walls of the tube! So don't waste ;)

The one in the set is smaller than the usual ones that daddy bought for me from Guardian.

I'm not sure if there are two sizes sold outside. But if you are planning on using it daily,

then buy the larger ones!

It's just a normal facial wash that is not foamy and lathers up rather well.

This is the one I use alternately with my Shiseido skincare range.

My skin is the type that get use to products and the product will no longer work (I think).

So I always switch between this and my Shiseido ones.

I also use this when I'm lazy, cause the Shiseido one has so many steps (toner, moisturize, gel for acne)!

One thing bad about this product is that it has a thick sticky feel :(

You can tell from the right photo exactly where I spread the sealing jell right?

I know I've mentioned many many times that I hate such products.

But for the sake of my skin (and laziness), I have to endure it.

It takes awhile to dry up but once it is dry you will not feel it anymore ;)

I think this product is really useful though! They really heal my pimples!

Sisters who are blessed with good skin have occasional pimples too and these always heal them.

Maybe it's cause it creates a think layer on your skin so nothing will come close to it?

No idea why but it just works. Sisters and I are gonna keep using these products!
