Mentholatum Lip Balm

Many thanks to Rohto-Mentholatum and The Sample Store (formerly Fr3b) for this sponsor.
*Rohto-Mentholatum is the same company that produce HADA LABO products.








































They launched in July 2010 in Singapore, with 2 different series of lip balms -
Mentholatum Mogitate Kajitsu
Mentholatum Deep Moist

"Mogitate" means "Fresh" and "Kajitsu" means "Fruits" in Japanese. This "Juicy" lip balm is bursting with natural fruity goodness and honey.

It comes in 5 different types of fruits mix flavor for you to choose~
Strawberry
Grape & Berry
Orange & Mango
White Peach
Lemon & Lime

Mogitate Kajitsu is made with Fresh Fruit Juice which contains essential minerals and vitamins that are beneficial to the lips and body. Not only that, it includes Honey in it which heals and renews your lips.
It contains other moisturizing boosters such as Squalane, Grape Seed Oil, Vitamins A & E and UV protection. Squalane is easily absorbed and is similar to the natural oil on our skin. It is extracted from plants and is highly prized Japanese supplement. Squalane helps to reduce the wrinkles caused by aging and sun damage. Grape Seed Oil helps to repair skin. Vitamin A & E are anti-oxidants that retard lip aging and give lips a healthy shine.



























My review for Mentholatum Mogitate Kajitsu lip balms:
I was sent 3 flavors to review - Strawberry, Orange & Mango and Lemon & Lime.
Firstly the packaging are really eye grabbing and super "kawaii". It gives a minty sensation and "waxy" feel on my lips after applying. It doesn't looked glossy at all and allowed me to apply my lip sticks without any wait.
I would prefer lemon & lime as it's more refreshing and the fruity scent isn't too strong as compared to strawberry and Orange & Mango. Love that it comes with UV protection.

Rating: 3.5/5

Next, I'm going to introduce you Mentholatum Deep Moist (#1 TOP selling Lip Balm in Japan, 2006-2009!), an ultra hydrating lip balm with Hyaluronic Acid (my favourite ingredient).























There are 2 variants, Deep Moist Menthol and Deep Moist Natural.

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

So what are the KEY INGREDIENTS?

* 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 lip balm.
* Jojoba Oil gives pro-longed, whole day hydration to the lips.

This Deep Moist lip balm comes in an innovative Emerald Green, oval-shaped container design that fits the corner of the mouth well and makes application easy with just a single swipe.























My review for Mentholatum Deep Moist lip balm:
I was sent both Deep Moist Menthol and Deep Moist Natural to review. I love how this packaging look, using green - it looked like a medicated lip balm and "old school" kind of feel at my first sight.
Both left a very thin layer of wax on my lip, matt look and allowed me apply my lip stick and lip plumper straight after.
My pick: Deep Moist Natural because the menthol scent is a tad too strong for me.
