I picked up two new Mentholatum lip products so I will come back to review them in a weeks time. For some context, I sometimes get a bit of perioral dermatitis (my lips itself sometimes peels out of dryness but usually a patch bordering my lips and skin peeling and sometimes weeps with pus). These are for lip products meant to hydrate and occasionally have a bit of colour to them.
Ole Henriksen pout preserve 9/10
Nothing else like it, thick, a bit sticky, the most long lasting and it would still be there the next day after use. Moisturises and has a “seal”
Milani fruit fetish lip oil 8/10
Super hydrating, glossy, and lasts really long. Also extremely plush feeling. Only con is that the smell is really artificial (not that strong but definitely lingers- I’ve tried strawberry melon and lychee nectar).
Melty Cream Lip by Mentholatum blue cap 7.5/10
Feels a lot better than the deep moist lip balm- as in it melts a lot more on your lips and is smoother. Also feels like its hydrating my lips more (but that might just be placebo bc it’s more of a melting balm than a proper hard lip balm). Unfortunately I still wake up with dry lips in the morning after use.
Deep moist by Mentholatum (blue fragrance free) 6/10
Less glossy and thick than the Melty cream but still good. You’re not really able to layer it but it dries out on your lips after a nights sleep.
ELF lip oils 7/10
Hydrating, glossy, and lasts a decent amount of time. A tiny minty/fresh scent. I like jam session and princess cut (the glimmers are so fine you cant feel the grit). Very good for the price.
OG formula balm dot com 7/10
Had the mango, nice scent and would hydrate my lips for a good while. Dries away after a night of sleeping.
DHC sensitive lip cream (green packaging) 4.5/10
This smelt the worst for me, like an extremely plasticky scent. Would leave a bit of hydration but it had a weird white film and would dry out my lips.
Lanolips rose tint and spf 1/10
I get an uncomfortable tingle that stops after 5 minutes of putting it on and I think I’m allergic to the spf or tint (I definitely know I’m not allergic to Lanlolin)
Laneige lip mask 0/10
I used to be able to use it fine but even then it would non stop peel my lips and not hydrate them. Then I used it again and broke into the worst hives ever.
I will come back with a review for the two that I got today:
PREMIUM Melty Cream Lip yellow/gold cap mentholatum 28hkd for 2.4g
Repair ONE night care lip essence Mentholatum 48hkd for 8g
Things I want to try:
– Lansinoh nipple cream
– Lanolips 101- only tried it in store but it lasted for HOURS on my lips and hydrated them really well
