Shiseido Water in Lip Balm Review

Isn’t this a beautiful lip balm? I bought Shiseido Water in Lip Balm while visiting Hokkaido, Japan. From what limited Japanese words I can read, this product contains thermal water from hot springs so I had to try it. The price is afforable only ¥400 ( 52.000 IDR ). I think SHISEIDO release a Water in Lip Balm in Hokkaido Winter edition because apparently winter here is so harsh they think they need a special product.

Texture:
It has a velvety texture, not sticky at all. It is not greasy and waxy. It is easily absorbed leaving lips softer, plumper and moisturized.

Scent: Mild minty scent

It was a blind purchase, a grab and go experience but it didn’t disappoint. I love this super moist lip balm. It leaves my lips wonderfully hydrated and so very soft and smooth. The cooling sensation lasted for a while. I have to apply it frequently due to having abnormally dry lips, but the average woman would probably only need it a few times. This lip balm is one of the best lip balms I have ever tried. It literally feels water in lips

Overall, Upon applying this to my lips, I felt a surge of moisture that was quickly absorbed by my lips. Not only does it leave a pearly shimmer (not TOO much, but just enough) but it makes your lips healthier. It acts as a good base for lipsticks specially the matte ones.
