Day 4 of 30 : Mentholatum LipIce Water Colour Lip Moisturizer 03 Kissy Pink

Paris B 32 Comments

I like my lovely high end lip goodies, but here’s one I got recently that surprised me for application, texture and price. Those of you on a budget will love this one 🙂 Its the Mentholatum LipIce Water Colour Lip Moisturizer in the Think Pink series.

Not unfamiliar with LipIce, I initially thought that this product was a tinted lipbalm. In fact, I thought it was those what look clear but turn pink on your lips – you know those? Instead I was surprised to find that what the LipIce Water Colour Lip Moisturizer is, is a sheer, moisturizing lipstick.

It comes in 4 shades of pink which Mentholatum describes as healthy looking lips, and Kissy Pink is No. 03. Truth be told, this is probably one of the nicest introduction to coral lipsticks as you can ever get! Check out the swatch below 🙂

Hello Ladies!

I’ve been snooping around and picked up news of a couple of new things I thought I’d share with you. Most are already available so if you are interested you can run right out and get them 🙂

Garnier Light to lighten dark spots in 2 weeks

garnier light cream

The Garnier Light cream has been around for a while already. The bright yellow tub of cream contains lemon extract and snowpine whitesource (which is supposed to be 10 times more effective than Vitamin C for skin brightening). I personally have not used it but I know of some people who do and who do report that its good for them. It helps of course that its very affordable 🙂 So the cream itself isn’t new, but they have improved upon it so it now lightens skin within 2 weeks instead of 4. It comes with SPF17 PA++ for sunscreen protection (but do use additional sunscreen if you really want to protect your skin). If you have tried this, please share your thoughts on it 🙂

Garnier Skin Naturals Light Whiten & Even Moisturising Cream with SPF17 PA++ retails at RM19.90/50ml at leading pharmacies and retailers

Sunplay spray on sunscreen

Actual product reads SPF80 (I used the wrong image 😛 )

I spotted this in Guardian Pharmacy about 2 weeks ago. Actually my friend did and pointed out the SPF80 reading. I used to use Sunplay sunscreens quite a few years ago. They were small, slim and practical to tote around, plus they weren’t sticky. I just did not quite like the “papery” feel on my skin after application. I’m curious to see if this one will be the same since it promises to feel moisturizing.
