The lips deserve a highlight

To me, I'm among the ladies who dislike the feeling of having dry lips. But at the same time, I dislike the feeling of having lipstick or even lip gloss on my lips. It felt a bit funny to me and I'm not used to it.

Every girl will carry a make up bag. But mine is more like a survival kit somehow...

Hence, in my handbag, there must be a lip balm that I carry almost everywhere. I've been a loyal customer using Mentholatum lip balm series, the apple flavour lip ice. Can't remember exactly how many years I've stick to the brand, but I've been using since university period. A good 8 years, may be?

Why I love about this particular lip balm is that (1) it's a quick touch to rehydrate my lips; and (2) good in enhancing my natural lip color; and (3) I love the scent and flavour!

Recently, we were in Thailand for training and I was wondering in a Japan cosmetic shop. Since I'm not a lipstick fan but always wanted to try putting colors on my lip, I then bought myself another kind of lip balm - In2it color lip balm, orange color shade.

This in2it lip treat lip repair balm consists SPF30, PA+++ with DPHP

When I first put on it, I was not used to the striking tone or I should say, I'm not used to seeing myself with colored lips. But I guess the result is not too bad huh?

Unlike lipstick, lip balm requires reapply. After my breakfast, the color faded off (may be I ate them with my meal) and reapply will be needed. Guess it's kind of a good thing where it allows us to check ourselves into the mirror and make sure we are always presentable? wahahaha...

So, do you prefer lipstick or lip balm or lip gloss?
