Not sure if you have seen these latest Mentholatum lip balms at Watsons recently but this is my first time seeing them.Special thanks to The Sample Store ( formerly known as fr3b) for sending me these products for trial .. Don't they look cute? ( I mean the packaging, especially the fruit range lip balms)
Mentholatum launched the Mojitate Kajitsu and Deep Moist lipbalm series in Japan in 2003 and 2008 respectively. These lipbalms are so popular that Rohto-Mentholatum lipcare ranked #1 in sales in the Lipcare segment in Japan from 2006-2009, making them #1 Best-selling lipbalm brand in Japan!

Trying on Mogitate Kajitsu Orange & Mango and Deep Moist Natural Lip Balms..
My thoughts:
I have to admit I am attracted to Mogitate Kajitsu's vibrant and colorful packaging. Incorporating the most interesting yet most common ingredients like the fresh fruit juice and honey in a lipbalm is the first time I have come across. I find that it applies smoothly on my lips before giving the greasy or waxy after feel. My lips feel moisturised. For the Orange & Mango Flavour I am using, it smellls more of orange when I applied onto my lips.. did not really smell the mango and honey though.. it leaves a slightly minty after feel which will be gone in a while. One plus thing about the Mogitate Kajitsu range is the lipbalms contain UV protection.. now our lips also can be protected against harmful UV rays.
On the other hand, the Deep Moist lip balms come in an innovative oval-shaped tube design that fits the corner of the mouth well and makes it easy to apply with a single swipe. This is my first time seeing Hyaluronic Acid being used in lip balms as it is the key ingredient used in a few of the latest skincare brands, to make skin more moisturised..but I did not expect it to be found in lipcare products as well. Deep Moist Lip Balm is fragrance free and also did not leave any greasy or waxy after feel. Lips feel more hydrated after application.
Overall, I find Mentholatum latest lip balms rather innovative in terms of packaging as well as the key ingredients that go into the making the lip balms... They are also reasonably priced and give pretty good results.

Thanks for revealing the ingredient list. The Deep Moist I just got is all in Japanese. I just noticed that petroleum jelly (petrolatum) is the beginning of the ingredient list. That may be a concern for those who are anti-petroleum. Deep Moist also has Lanolin which isn't vegan friendly.
