Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

Laneige Sleeping Mask for Lips is a relatively new product launched in the end of 2015. It has become an instant hit across both Korea and the West.

And again I bought it product by accident. Thought it was a sleeping pack for the whole face and was very surprised when I received a small 20 g package for the money.  My disappointment faded away as soon as I opened the lid. The smell was irresistible: a Berry mix - very familiar but I still can't figure out what it reminds me of. 

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, 20 g

The product is designed for dry, chapped lips that need an extra care. 

Or for somebody who doesn't like to use lip balm during the day. 

My lips are mostly fine BUT I have a bad habit of biting them which doesn't make my lips prettier. Moreover, I've also noticed that the "quality" of this sensitive skin has definitely went down over  the years. This must be due to the lack of care it has received. The skin color is not as bright as it used to be, and my lips are definitely thinning. I was even thinking about lip injections. Boris, do not read this.

I wish you could smell that berry scent, mmmm

The instructions say that you should apply an adequate amount of mask on your lips before going to bed and wipe the access gently with a dry cotton pad in the morning. Easy as.

This staff felt nice on my lips. I was worried it would be all over the place when I turn in my sleep. But it did stay well and my lips had lots of product remain in the morning. 

I've done though a mistake and washed lips in the morning. They did feel dry after that, so I decided to try it again the other night. This time I've only gently wiped lips with cotton and they felt really soft, smooth and moisturized the whole day. Yay!

To my surprise there was another side effect. My lips looked kind of plumped the whole day even though I didn't scrub or massage them at all. You can't compare this to a lip injection or a vacuum lip enhancers, of course,  BUT your lips will look much better for sure.

They don't say how often the mask could be used, so I'm going to apply it every single night. It's just too good!

I know this sounds really pricey, but a little goes a long way, and I'm guessing it will last me for about 4-5 months of everyday use.

Do I like it and will I buy again?

I absolutely love the product. It seemed kind of useless when I first saw it but now when the difference is obvious, I can totally justify this purchase and I easily imagine myself using it all the time. Will buy again.

Oh, just to mention, if you google other review, seems like everyone loves it too, not just me.

Whom would I recommend to use the product?

Everyone. Definitely must have product for dry and chapped lips, but I, honestly, would recommend for people with normal lips also as a lip balm substitute.

My overall impressions are 5/5/. I only wish this smell was all around me 24/7.

What lip care products from Korea would you recommend?
