Sana Uruotaishi Hiaruronsan Moisture Lip Balm

Sana added a new product to their cute small Uruotaishi Hiaruronsan skincare line... a Moisture Lip Balm, yay!
I reviewed the other 2 products (Moisturizing Mist and Moisture Gel) quite some time ago so if you are interested in this line please read those posts.

The key ingredient of the Uruotaishi products is hyaluronic acid in 3 different variations (sealing, plumping and penetrating). You can check Sana´s English information of the gel and mist here (the English site is not updated so the Moisture Lip Balm is not listed there yet).

The Moisture Lip Balm is a bit pricey for a lip balm since it retails for 980 Yen (that´s more than US$12) but it comes in a pretty a bit chunky swivel-up tube just like regular lipstick.

The lip balm is totally unscented (not even any icky plastic smell or taste) and even though this is a solid stick it has an easily melting texture which spreads like a dream. 
The balm leaves a lightweight moisturizing layer with a light sheen (but not glossy look) on my lips. 

My lips feel and look smooth but to be very honest the effect isn´t that long-lasting so I am slightly disappointed that the hydrating effect isn´t something that stays. My lips are softer after the balm has worn off but not to a very remarkable extent.

Overall a nice lip balm but a bit expensive for its performance.
