It seems as soon as the cooler months start rolling in my lips start shrinking and shriveling up. I came across this product a year ago while living in NYC and have to admit, the results are pretty amazing. I’ve been using this for a year and find myself reaching more for this pink jar more during the harsh winter months.
Laneige sleeping mask is a Korean beauty product that promises to smooth, plump and hydrate lips overnight. K-beauty products are light years ahead in providing quality products at affordable prices when compared to the western beauty market. The hardest hurdle to overcome was accessibility to products, but now stores like Sephora stock K-Beauty products on the regular.
Brand:
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, is produced under AmorePacific, a long standing Asian Beauty Conglomerate that prides itself on their values and skin beneficial ingredients.
Star Ingredients:
Berry Mix Complex™ of raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, and blueberry are rich in Vitmain C and antioxidants which help lips become smooth and supple.
Their trademarked Exclusive Moisture Wrap™ technology forms a layer of hyaluronic acid and minerals lock in moisture and active ingredients.
Shea butter and glycerin are great additional moisturizing agents
Other ingredients: This mask does have a few waxes (some synthetic) and fragrance added in as well
Packaging:
This berry scented lip mask comes in a 20g pretty frosted glass jar and a handy silicone applicator, not pictured because naturally I lost it immediately.
Fragrance:
Smells like overly sweet strawberries which does dissipate eventually. I didn’t really mind the fragrance and quite enjoy it.
Price:
A jar runs about $20, which is a little pricey for solely a lip product, however, the product goes a long way.
Usage:
The recommended usage is once or twice a week, which I find sufficient. If I am planning on wearing a matte lipstick I tend to apply this as lip balm and then layer the lippy on top to prevent cracking.
The Product:
The mask has a thick consistency, similar to Mac Lipglass products. Unlike most lip masks it is thick enough to stay in place throughout the night.
My Results:
Hydrated, moisturized, soft and supple lips overnight.
Application:
Step 1: Apply a generous layer over lips at night, I use a plastic spatula or my fingers
Step 2: In the morning, I like to use a warm washcloth to gently wipe off any excess
Step 3: Enjoy your rejuvenated lips!
Pros:
– Gentle enough to use on sensitive and chapped lips
– Thick enough to stay in place during the night
– Does all the work while you sleep
– Full of antioxidants and moisturizing ingredients
– Cruelty Free, No animal testing
Cons:
– Can be pricey for a lip treatment, however, the jar lasts for ages
– Fragrance may be too strong for some
