Isn’t this a beautiful lip balm? A friend was in Japan recently and had bought this for me as a souvenir.
As can be expected from Shiseido, the packaging of the slim tube is pretty and classy – I particularly like the font of the product name and the understated cherry blossom image.
According to online retailers, this 3.5 g lipbalm contains spa water from Italy (w0w!) and has hyaluronic acid to hydrate dry lips. It apparently also contains cherry blossom powder to impart a light pink colour to the lips.
I’ve only used it once and could feel its soothing effect immediately. I didn’t really see the pink on my lips but I do concede that they looked more even, thanks to the balm. In addition, there was the barest hint of shimmer and a subtle minty after-feel, which I love. Unfortunately, although it is lightweight, it left a somewhat waxy feel; I’m hoping it wears off with prolonged usage (I only had it on for about ten minutes). This balm does have quite a few positive reviews on Makeup Alley, so I’m looking forward to using more of it. :)
This lip balm look so pretty. wonder if they will bring in soon :)
Hi Starryxuan,
I hope they do!
You’re right the packaging is SWEET!
Hi Elle,
It’s very feminine! :)
I love this brand- can’t wait to try this gorgeous one one day!
Hi Sam,
I hope you find it easily! :)
At first glance, the packaging print reminds me of Jill Stuart print, lol!
hope to spot this in my local drugstore soon! ^^
Hi Jennifer,
You’re right – it does have the femininity (and pink!) of Jill Stuart products. :)
This is my favourite lip balm! I have been telling those folks at Shiseido to bring this in.. maybe after AquaLabel?
I like that it gives the literal effect of “water in lips”, adding a bit of gloss on the lips. I don’t use lipstick or lipgloss all the time, so this lip balm is my everyday lip product.
Hi Ms G!
I hope they bring this in. Apparently, there are other shades and glossier finishes. Would love to see them in person. :)
