Kate Tokyo Cc Lip Cream

It's no underground that I'm non a corking fan of Kate Tokyo, a.k.a. Tokyo Kate, a.k.a. Kate Kanebo, or whatever else you lot desire to telephone telephone it.

Their oculus products are the pits, together with it surprises me to no halt that they tend to larn high marks with the users of @Cosme (a really influential Japanese beauty portal). But that simply proves that Japanese women accept the worst possible gustatory modality when it comes to mascaras, that's all.

When the CC Lip Cream thingie debuted terminal twelvemonth I was really careful to avoid it. Yet those damn tubes were everywhere. Literally everywhere. And e'er featured really prominently.


The fact that at that topographic point were never whatever testers available was the outset giant giveaway that the entire drive was pure bullshit. Why? Because the products hint really heavily that they are to a greater extent than than simply lowly lip balms. The spinmasters at Kanebo desire us to believe that Kate Tokyo CC Lip Cream is a step, or two, or three, higher upwardly lowly lip balm. That it's "natural makeup".

But, with no testers nosotros either accept to believe the promo machine, or enshroud our inner skeptical b*tch, similar I tend to do. Because what other products don't unremarkably offering testers? Yep, lip balms.






So yeah, nosotros accept lip balms with a demeanour upon of color. Not fifty-fifty lip glosses. Just your plain, old, garden diversity tinted lip balms.

With a fancy elevate similar CC Lip Cream they desire to pretend they are novel together with cool together with oh-so-hip together with exciting.

Kanebo claims at that topographic point are ii types of Kate Tokyo CC Lip Cream:

  • lip stain (01- Beat Red, 04 - Orange Burst), and
  • lip color enhancer (05 - Pink Trick, 06 - Mode Pink).


As you lot tin come across I accept all four, together with honestly, I couldn't come across whatever divergence inwards surgery betwixt them. It's simply a freakin' tinted lip balm, for chrissakes!



It's a decent tinted lip balm, but non without faults. And the biggest of those faults?
When it's freezing exterior together with your lips are mutual frigidity this affair turns into a layer of goo that looks OK when your lips are closed. But when you lot opened upwardly your mouth? Boy, oh boy...
You halt upwardly looking similar you're frothing at the mouth. The viscid white demarcation trace is clearly visible.

H5N1 pocket-size mistake would live the incredibly inexpensive together with malfunction-prone tube.

But hey, for less than 400 yen (and these are e'er on sale), you lot can't actually complain besides much.

Here are the swatches of Kate Tokyo CC Lip Creams inwards all the colors:




See? I told you! Tinted lip balm.

According to the Kate Tokyo (no to a greater extent than rules) website, these CC Lip Creams are 5-in-1 products.
Here, I screenshot it for you lot (yes, I'm lazy):






The most interesting component is that they are:

  • SPF nineteen PA++, and 
  • can live used equally makeup base.

Other lofty claims:

  • Moisturizing? Yeah, they are OK. Nothing special. DHC Lip Cream it ain't, that's for sure.
  • Long lasting? You gotta live kidding, right?
  • Color correction? They practice offering a demeanour upon of color, but that's well-nigh it. I suppose the amount trial depends on the natural color of your lips.
  • Lip gloss (for shades 01 together with 04)? Surely, you lot can't live serious! 


So yeah, it's a lip balm. H5N1 sheer lip balm with a hint of color.
H5N1 lip balm enhanced with olive oil, almond oil, jojoba fossil oil together with sodium hyaluronate.

An OK lip balm, peculiarly for warmer weather.
On mutual frigidity days you lot adventure looking similar you lot didn't wipe off your oral cavity later on a vigorous blowjob session. Consider yourself warned.
