Nowadays who on earth have the time to put on lip balm, then lipstick, followed by a lip gloss after spending a few hours on the face and eyes? NO ONE. By the time I am about to put on a lip product, I am pooped out. I always reach for anything near me rather than really spending time on it. I am a firm believer of applying a lip balm before a lipstick all these while, until I find that the oily surface moves my lipstick around. Rohto-Mentholatum recently upgraded and relaunched their LipIce Sheer Color AND I AM IN LOVE!
LipIce Sheer Color is a color changeable lip balm. It has a clear tube and comes with three variant – Fragrance Free, Strawberry, and Shimmer. The one I have with me here is Fragrance Free. The upgrade comes with an upgraded Beeswax and Argan Oil formula so that the product is able to provide a 10-hours of moisturizing properties. It also has other natural moisturizing ingredients such as Shea Butter, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, and Aloe Extract to maintain the lip’s softness. Vitamin E is the necessity in every lip product as it protects the lips against any harsh environment.
Sheer Color lip balm comes in a clear bullet. But do not let its look deceive you as the product goes on the lip clear, then changes to a natural pink shade according to the person who wore it. Mine goes on as a light pink, almost a baby pink. This is one of the lip balm that is seriously moisturizing without feeling oily. You know how some lip balm can be a little too oily and starts to dry out the lip as the hours went by? This one stays on fresh even after 5 hours through the day. I like that I can build the coverage a bit. The product texture consistency is unique that I cannot put my fingers to it. It covers all the fine lines and cracks on my lips. That is because the lip balm is also infused with an ingredient called Commiphora Mukul Herb Extract to smoothes fine lines. I have nooooo idea what is that but hey, it keeps my lips smooch-able and bouncy so yes!!
I am obsessed with this lip balm! It is so bad that I like it this much as I was neglecting every other lipstick I have with me. That is bad. I like the MLBB (my lips but better) look as I am always with a brown smokey eye look. I have no tried reapplying as one application at the beginning of the day is sufficient to keep my lips moisturized throughout the day. I rarely go out with makeup for touch up so no, I have not been reapplying. So far I am pretty happy with how it is. Can you believe me if I tell you this is my first ever LipIce Sheer Color lip balm? lol
LipIce Sheer Color is available at all leading pharmacies and major supermarket outlets nationwide.
Price: RM15.80, available in Strawberry, Shimmer, and Fragrance Free variant.

Oh Gawd… now you’ve got me blown… Hahaha…
You know I have problems with my dry, cracked and peeling lips…
And regardless of what I use, the problem always returns.
I’m now currently using Claire Organics’ Lavender lipbalm, and so far, so good.
But sometimes, I do need some colour on my lips so that I won’t look too “ahjumma-ish”, and so happen, I read your blog today… Hahaha…. So… Imma gonna get one of this to try, keeping my fingers crossed that it will work well for me too!
Have a great week ahead, Fiona!
I remember you are looking for the right lip balm for the lips. Still on the search ar? Have you tried the Sierra Bees lip balm I gave you? Those are working well for me except that it does not have any colors hehe. Sometimes no color makes me look a bit sick 🙁
HI DEAR
Yes, I tried…
Cannot also, after a week or so, back to square one.
Even the minty home-made one that my friend bought for me, also cannot.
so far, only Claire Organics’ ones work for me…
But like what you said, colourless makes me look sick too! Hahaha….
So i think I wanna give this a try 😀
Keeping fingers crossed!
