Mentholatum Water Lip Tinted Color Milky Pink, Raspberry Red & Rose Pink

I start the day with a lipstick and end it with a lipbalm. What about midday when the sun is at its peak? That is when the following products come in...


Name: Mentholatum メンソレータム Water Lip ウォーターリップ Tinted Color 色つきタイプ
Price: RM 13.90 for 4.5 g
@cosme rating: 3.2
Made in: Japan

These limited edition tinted lipbalms protect your puckers with SPF20 PA++. The Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera Extract enriched formula replenishes and retains moisture, while Honey and Collagen increase elasticity. They melt on the lips leaving a nourishing film that lasts for two hours or so (considering I was not snacking or sipping on some beverage).

Milky Pink ミルキィピンク is a shimmery baby pink.

I would not necessarily say that they would be a substitute for lipstick for they lack the colour payoff but they do make a fantastic gloss without the associated stickiness. The only shortcoming is the sheerness of the formula. Even the brightest of the bunch, Raspberry Red, fails to show up on my pigmented lips.


Milky Pink - Raspberry Red - Rose Pink

There are four shades in total on mentholatum-lip.jp, which means that we are missing Baby Beige ベビーベージュ. The hoarder in me would have liked to go all Pokémon Trainer (and collect them all!) seeing the excellent quality.


Dolls, remember to keep your pout in tip top shape with SPF protection!
