LIPICE – LipBalm and Sheer Color Review

LIPICE, Japan’s No 1 Lip care brand recently made its entry into the Indian market. The product range includes 4 Lip Balms in flavors like strawberry, orange, lemon & blueberry and 1Lip Conditioner called Sheer Color, Natural.

I got one Lipbalm in Blueberry flavor and a Sheer Color.

LIPICE-Lip Balm in Blueberry Flavor:

Claims: Lips are always soft, fresh and natural…

• Combination of Lanolin and mineral oil will moisturize lips to prevent drying and chapping.
• SPF 15 will protect lips against UV rays.

 Ingredients: Mineral Oil, Ozokerite, Petrolatum, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Octyl Salicylate, Flavour, Lanolin, Dimethicone, Menthol, Camphor

Price: Rs 120 for 4.3g

My lips are super dry and lipblam is my must have product. LipIce lip blam is one of the best I have tried till date. Moisturizing and gives a cooling effect to lips, also it has SPF. It is not at all waxy/glossy and gets absorbed into lips to keep it moisturized for hours. Since it is not glossy you can use it beneath your favorite lipstick and it will not sheer out the lipstick shade. I really liked the blueberry flavor and the scent is quite mild.

The only drawback is that it is not easily available, seems like they have launched it only in select few cities. I got mine through a company representative and glad that now it is available online.

I would give this a Rating of 4.5 out of 5 and will re-purchase, probably the other flavors.

LIPICE-SHEER COLOR (Natural):

Here is how it looks on my lips:

I absolutely love this product!!Combines the goodness of a lip conditioner and a lip stain -the result is lovely, tinted lips which are smooth and glossy. This clear lip balm changes into a soft natural pink shade once applied into lips along with keeping lips moisturized. The shade goes on sheer when swiped once or twice, and you can layer on if you want a darker shade of pink. This never settles into fine lines or makes your lips dry. It fades away slowly after around 2 hours but still a subtle pink tint stays on lips. The ingredient list is impressive with moisturizing agents, and OMC which gives sun protection. What more you want? Flaunt your pinkish glossy smooth lips out in the sun!!!

My Rating would be 4.5 out of 5. Am deducting 0.5 for the fact that it is not easily available everywhere.
