[Sponsored Review] Mentholatum's Honey Lemon Lip Pure Gel + Fragrance Free Lip Balm.

Are you someone who frequently experiences dry / chapped lips ?
I will admit, I do experience these situations every now & then, but, i only have myself to blame.
On days that i am not lazy, I usually spam Vaseline on my lips so i wake up with well moisturized lips the day after.
However, there's bound to be afew occassions whereby when i'm just too tired and couldn't care less.
The result ? Waking up with dry / flaky / chapped lips.
Trust me, a horrible sight / situation you wouldn't want to experience on a regular basis.

Was pretty excited when i got contacted & knew that Mentholatum would be sending me 2 of their latest products.

This new range of products is also catered to people with sensitive lips. Particularly because it:
  • Made from 100% food grade natural ingredients
  • Does not contain preservatives / colorant.
  • Contains antioxidants of Vitamin E & Grape Seed Oil
  • Contains Shea butter oil, Almond Oil, Aloe vera extract & jojoba oil
  • Emollient, soothing & softening
The secret to soft, supple & healthy lips ? Look no further, get yours today ! There are 3 flavours for you to choose from, similarly, formulated with beeswax, it has soothing and softening properties and helps the skin to retain moisture as it provides a soft, flexible coating that is water resistant.

Mentholatum Lip Pure comes in 3 variants, namely:
  1. Orange (not shown here)
  2. Fragrance Free 
  3. Honey Lemon (Lip Gel)
(Some relevant product information if you would like to know more.)

(Here's me with the Honey Lemon Lip Pure gel, notice the glossy coating on my lips ?)

My Verdict: This smells absolutely delicious. Not to mention that one of my all time favorite drinks would be Honey Lemon. Moreover, a lip gel in Honey Lemon ? One of the best combinations ever. One thing before i forget, it has sparkly gold particles inside !! Layer it with your lipstick to get a more glossy outlook (i'm thinking, pouty lips ?) ! Alternatively, you can just use it on it's own if you want to achieve a more natural outlook.

(Secondly, this is me with the fragrance free lip balm !)

My Verdict: This is easier for application wise as it is much easier to glide on as compared to the honey lemon lip gel. Super handy to just slot it in your pocket so you can reapply anytime during the day when your lips are feeling dry & need that extra moisture boost ! For people who doesn't like scented / flavored lip balms, you'll definitely love this ! Texture wise, it is fine too, not too oily & feels just right !

(Side by side comparison for an easier gauge. Not sure if you can see, but the Honey Lemon Lip Pure Gel really has sparkly golden particles inside !)

If I have to pick only one between the two, my choice, definitely the Honey Lemon Lip Pure Gel ! The refreshing / sweet smell wins hands down ! :D

Are you still torn between the two ? Better make your choice soon & go down to any Watsons / Guardian / Fairprice / All major supermarket or departmental stores to get your tube of goodness for your lips for only $7.90 ! :D
