The cutest strap ever!
Have you seen this product before?
I didn't even know it existed, I just spotted it at random in Don Quixote.
It was hidden away under a lot of other stuff and the English-language blogosphere isn't throwing up much information so I wonder - is this a new product, an old product or an unpopular product?
Tsubasa looks so cute here, I love the "demure" styling.
It is what it says it is - lip balm.
There is no pigment in it, it goes on clear.
It's not particularly ling-lasting, just the kind of thing you'd need to protect your lips from strong weather.
It's not part of the Candy Doll range (I think), but it fits right in.
I have to say the packaging is better than the product.
The scent of the lip balm is a very, very, VERY strong menthol!
I was expecting something soft and lovely, but this is hardcore.
It's a little unappealing. I like menthol, but many don't and it certainly doesn't fit with Tsubasa's image.
You twist the end to push up the stick - unleash the menthol!
If you genuinely need a lip balm, then this is probably ok.
However, it's not a beauty product.
Also, you probably wouldn't want to be kissing anyone right away - not unless they like surprise chili lips!
The lip balm in action.
Let's be honest though - if it looks good, we want it, right?
I think this is a really sweet strap and fits well into my phone colour scheme.
That alone make it worth it in my opinion, yay!

ReplyDeleteIt's really cute but menthol? =P
ReplyDeleteYou're blog is so kawaii! ^^
(I'm a new follower!)
i got that as well but i kept losing the cap in my bag so i had to give up on it T-T
ReplyDeleteYeah, I saw that a couple weeks ago in a Donki as well. I think it just hasn't been noticed by the western audience yet. I passed it up since I already have several nice lip balms.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad I did, I don't like menthol smell very much at all! I imagined a more candy like smell, that would make sense.
Thanh Thao - yes, and so convenient to carry on a phone!
ReplyDeleteLexiTokyo - Hi, welcome to my blog and thanks for following! <3 Actually, menthol is a pretty popular flavour in Europe, I'm surprised that many people think it's strange!
ReplyDeleteYumeko - Ah! That's worrying! I hope I can keep it safe! I like it so much, haha!
ReplyDeleteさらまり - Me too, I was totally surprised by the sharp scent. Well, I like it anyway. It's really refreshing. I just hope my lips don't get reliant on it...
ReplyDeleteOooh Menthol? A little unexpected from that cute packaging! Seems like you are building up quite the phone charm collection!
ReplyDeleteWinnie - I know, I can't stop collecting charms. They're hanging off everything I own. I guess it's a cheap freebie for companies to use for promotion...
