Menturm Moiscube Lip

I like the Menturm (Omi Brotherhood) medicated chapsticks all year, and have seen several Moiscube versions for a while now. With a packaging change and a decent price, I decided to try the one above - Menthol with rice bran oil and camellia oil. The price I paid was 185 yen with tax included, but I usually see them for almost 400 yen each. Considering the regular medicated chapstick I use is under 200 yen for a two pack, it's on the fancy side for me.

This product boasts 'high moisture veil' and I thought it would be appropriate during the dryer season. 

Metholatum brand - basically the same product as the Meturm version - above and moiscube below.

As the name of the product implies, Moiscube is a cube shaped chapstick. At first it felt smaller or like it contained less product.

Comparing the two, they're both 4 grams of product each. 

I haven't used the Moiscube for that long yet, but so far I don't feel like it's any different. I don't think I'd recommend paying more for it because of the fancy shape. It makes sense because this shape will take up less space during shipping - like cube watermelons.

Another strange thing - the packaging is a resealable pouch like what some snacks come in. Why would you want to keep your chapstick in a sealed pouch and have to take it out every time you use it?

(As usual) I'll stick with the cheaper and less glamorous one.
