Review: Kanebo Sensai Total Lip Treatment

Extremely chapped lips? Can’t seem to heal properly? Then try Kanebo Sensai’s Total Lip Treatment. This was my first luxury purchase (on any beauty product over RM200) which I’d like to share with you today.  

Kanebo Sensai Total Lip Treatment

I bought this a few months ago, after a routine facial at the Kanebo, Parkson outlet in Gurney Plaza. I was pretty much cajoled by the sales assistant to try out the lip treatment cream (sad huh?). This has got to be the most expensive lip cream I’ve EVER bought. But it was also the best.

The lip treatment cream lasts quite long (provided you don’t wipe it off), and it is perfect in dry weather. I brought it with me to Melbourne; the winter was very dry, and my lips had severe cracks and bleeds. It was like having a permanent “lip liner” on my lips – the “liner” were the cracks. It hurt real bad, but thanks to the cream, which I faithfully applied every morning and night, it really soothed my lips, and they got back to its original condition in a short period of time. It also keeps the lips looking smooth, plump, and definitely kissable 😉

I’d really recommend this to those who travel a lot to dry countries, and definitely to those who are living in such countries.

Okay, and now for the price. This is really going to hit your pocket. I bought it in a set, consisting of the Total Lip Treatment (15ml), the Sensai Cellular Performance Lotion II (30ml), and the Sensai Cellular Performance Emulsion II (15ml) for RM280. At the time I bought it, they weren’t selling the product separately. However, you can buy the lip treatment cream on its own at StrawberryNET for RM190. Wished I knew that earlier, would have saved me RM90 (didn’t really need the other two at that moment). Drats.

I know it’s expensive, but even at 15ml, it can last you up to a year, because you only use VERY little per application (about 1/3 of your pinkie). It’s a bit oily if you use too much, so it should last a long time. When applying it on your lips at night before going to bed, try massaging a little of the cream on your laugh lines as well to reduce the appearance of fine lines.

The lip treatment set retails at RM280 at all Kanebo International outlets, and RM190 at StrawberryNET.

What I like about it: Fantastic lip treatment; heals cracked lips fast.

What I did not like about it: Very expensive; oily if applied too much.

    Nyx: My wallet was real “siong” after getting this. But it was such a lip saver when I was in Melb 😉
