Kiehl’s: Lip Balm #1

I’ve been making a couple of trips to the Kiehl’s store recently to get a couple of stuff. One of them is Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1, since my old one ran out. I was reluctant to get a lip balm in tube form at first cause it’s quite troublesome, but since the sales person had such good marketing skills and credibility, i thought ah why not. It’s Kiehl’s!

So what’s the verdict?

Yeah, the whole idea bout the tube lip balm is annoying as hell. Just as i thought. All the hassle of squeezing it out onto my finger and applying it on my lips. Then i would have to wash my hands or spare a tissue to wipe my finger (cause wiping on my baju is gross).

Well with that factor aside, i actually like this lip balm. It’s pretty much like petroleum jelly in a tube with probably some extra fancy ingredients along. The outcome is not exactly wow, but at least it prevents my lips from looking too dry. And it’s rather long lasting as long as you eat it off. Get what i mean?

It has the gloss factor, so it gives the lips some shine. Gotta be careful bout the application though since it’s glossy looking, you wouldn’t wanna look like you drooled all over yourself. It’s pretty handy if you have naturally pink/red lips, don’t need the use for lip gloss – just apply this for that pretty shine on the lips. Most lip glosses are annoying cause they’re sticky and heavy.

However, if you want some colour you can always opt for their tinted lip balm.

Overall, i don’t think it’s anything special. Like i said, it’s pretty much like petroleum jelly in a tube. Oh wait, it is. I totally forgot the price, but it’s less than RM 20 for this tube. Don’t bother unless you wanna give it a try. Or really gungho bout Kiehl’s, like me here. Well.. sort of -_-;;
