[ Review ] Moon Haven Vanilla Lip Balm

 

Product Description

Moon Haven Vanilla Lip Balm is a yummy Vanilla Lip Balm that is as soothing and moisturising as it tastes! This deeply nurturing and fabulously tasting lip balm not only imparts a gentle gloss to your lips but helps to protect them from the elements... be it the middle of winter on a cold and blustery day or the heat of summer. Made with deeply nurturing cocoa butter, castor and lanolin Moon haven's Vanilla Lip Balm is an everyday necessity.

I purchased the Moon Haven Vanilla Lip Balm during my Perth trip and was initially drawn to its simple ingredient list and light vanilla scent. Like most lip balms, it comes in an easy twist-up tube for convenient application.

The formula feels lightweight on the lips and gives a subtle glossy finish that helps lips look smoother and healthier without feeling overly sticky.

On first application, the lip balm provides comfortable hydration and a natural sheen, making it suitable for everyday wear or minimal makeup looks. However, after repeated reapplication throughout the day, it tends to leave behind a noticeable white layer on the lips, which can make dry patches appear more obvious. Because of this, the lip balm performs best during the initial application but may not be ideal for frequent layering over several hours.

One downside is that the clear outer cover that holds the lip balm in its shape makes it hard to gauge how much product is left. The lip balm still looks ‘full’ from the outside, so I only realized it was nearly empty when very little product remained.

Overall, Moon Haven Vanilla Lip Balm is a decent natural lip balm for those who prefer simple ingredients and a lightweight glossy finish. The light vanilla scent and healthy-looking shine make it enjoyable for quick hydration and daily touch-ups. However, the formula may not suit users who frequently reapply lip balm throughout the day, as it can leave a white residue on the lips over time. While it performs well on the first application, its long-term wear experience could be improved for better everyday usability.

[ Review ] La Roche-Posay Uvidea Anthelios Melt-In Tinted Cream

 

Product Description

La Roche-Posay Uvidea Anthelios Melt-In Tinted Cream is a suncare tinted cream that naturally unifies skin color tone while preventing hyperpigmentation. It is a preventing & corrective care against to UVB, UVA, long-UV, and pollution.

Key Benefits :

Naturally unifies complexion, while preventing hyperpigmentation. It is anti-UV, long-UV, and anti-pollution corrective care.  Tested on Asian sensitive skin.

I came across Jenny's recommendation for this product on Instagram a few years back but it wasn't available in Singapore then. I managed to purchase this last year and has been using this for my work-in-office days. 

If you didn't know by now, I adore tinted sun creams and my last emptied ones were Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF50 PA++++, Dermalogica Skin Perfect Primer SPF30, Rovectin Anti-irritant UV Defense Tinted SPF 50+ PA++++ and Smith Total Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++. 

Tinted suncreams have quickly become a staple in modern skincare routines, especially for those who want a streamlined, “less-is-more” approach to beauty. Sitting somewhere between skincare and makeup, a tinted suncream combines broad-spectrum sun protection with a sheer wash of colour, helping to even out skin tone while shielding the skin from harmful UV rays.

One of the key benefits of using a tinted sunscreen is its ability to protect against both UV rays and visible light. Many formulas contain iron oxides, which are known to help defend the skin from blue light and reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. This makes tinted suncream especially beneficial for those with sensitive skin or concerns like melasma and post-acne marks.

For busy mornings or minimal makeup days, tinted suncream is a practical multitasker: it simplifies your routine, enhances your skin’s appearance, and ensures you don’t skip the most essential step like sun protection.

Still, as someone who’s always on the lookout for easy-to-use SPF products, I was curious to see how it would perform on my skin and whether it could balance convenience with comfort.

I received the Dr. G Black Snail Cream through a StyleKorean beauty box collaboration. This is not a sponsored review, and all opinions are based on my personal experience.

Having previously tried the Dr. G Red Blemish Clear Soothing Cream, which left a strong impression on me, I was genuinely excited to test this K-beauty snail mucin moisturiser especially since snail creams can be quite hit or miss depending on texture and formulation.

For reference, I’ve enjoyed other popular snail creams like the JUMISO Snail Mucin 88 + Peptide Facial Cream and iUNIK Black Snail Restore Cream.
