I’m not a lip gloss gal but I have to say that this stuff rocks!  Sony CP Curvy Lip Gloss 501 Nude (最強の攻め唇).  I don’t know how it’s achieved but my lips actually look really luscious with this gloss on.  Even better than the lip plumpers.   No wonder it is so popular in Japan and Taiwan. 

I don’t have to use a lot of it and my lips look instantly fuller and in a natural way without feeling too sticky.  No reddening, swelling or hot spicy feeling.  No unsightly lip lines.    Quite amazing!  

I think by now, there’s no doubt that I’m also a lip balm-aholic.  I like to try out different brands, especially those that are not too popular or not in the mass market.  So this already gives you a good explanation of why I bought Eau Thermale Avene Cold Cream Lip Balm.

Yay!  I actually found Burt’s Bees Beewax Lip Balm at a shop in Singapore!  Thanks to a tip from a reader by the nick of eyong who left a comment in my earlier entry.

Instead of the usual tube, I got the tin instead because I like the size and the novelty.  But perhaps that’s a mistake because I later found the application a tad difficult because this stuff isn’t exactly rich.  And gosh, it left quite a tingling sensation on my lips because of its peppermint content.   

Another over-rated product to me.  Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 SPF4 sunscreen petrolatum skin protectant.  I had to try it since I’ve heard so much about this and it’s their best selling. 

Never mind the unglam packaging and that it’s not a twist up, but having used it for awhile now, I’m now convinced that I dislike products containing petroleum jelly which by the way isn’t a much desired ingredient according to health and organic advocates.
