Dear Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask,
Where to begin. Can you believe it's been so long since we first met?!
The day was May 28, 2020. I’d just started work when the doorbell rang and a package landed on my doorstep. Eagerly, I ripped open the box and there you were in all your glory.
Maybe it was your dreamy pink packaging or because I'd seen you by everyone else's bed(side table), but I couldn’t resist.
I needed to experience you. I had to see what the hype was about.
From the moment I took your top off, I was smitten. Glistening and gleaming, you melted into my lips... sorry. I'm getting carried away.
But seriously, why are you so irresistible?!
The reason I'm writing this today is because just when I thought you, the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, couldn't get any better...
You went and came out with Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Limited Edition in not one, but THREE new festive flavours.
And that's on top of when you launched the Gummy Bear lip sleeping mask a few months ago.
Remember, the brand new flavour in pretty purple packaging that sold out in a week?
So many flavours. So little time. And only one pair of lips, ugh.
But what's so great about the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask?
Let me count the ways...
But First, What Is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask?
Before I go any further, a quick recap for anyone who hasn't had the immense pleasure of meeting the Laneige lip mask yet.
Part-lip balm, part-overnight lip treatment, Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask 20g smooths, plumps, hydrates and rejuvenates lips in one $28 tub.
A bit more about the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask formula:
- Available on Adore Beauty in five flavours - Gummy Bear, Berry, Grapefruit, Mint Choco and Vanilla (not including the limited edition ones).
- Moisture Wrap™ Technology attracts humectant and emollient ingredients to draw and lock in hydration, leaving lips loaded up with moisture.
- Berry Mix Complex™ rich in vitamin C and antioxidants sooths and softens for supple lips and longer-lasting hydration.
- Hydro-ion minerals create a film, locking all the good stuff into place.
About those new holiday limited edition flavours - you can now get the Laneige lip mask in Gingersnap, Peppermint and Peach Iced Tea.
*Be quick though, because they will 100% sell out.
Now, even though the product name says 'lip sleeping mask', you can use this product however and as often as you like.
Can I use Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask every day? Absolutely. Can I use Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask as a lip balm? Go for it!
Whether it's in the morning, during the day or just before bed (or all of the above), how often to use Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is up to you.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Review.
Back to my Laneige lip mask love letter:
Nearly two years on and you’re still the last thing I slather on before bed and first thing on my mind when I wake up.
Here are all the reasons why no other product will ever touch my lips.
1. You continue to surprise me in unexpected ways…
After so much time together, I thought the honeymoon period would be over. But you still take my breath away.
Your newest limited edition holiday flavours? Genius.
The Gummy Bear launch? Ground-breaking.
Only you would take such beloved nostalgic sweets and turn them into something me, a full grown adult, would want on my lips day after day.
My favourite of theLaneige Lip Sleeping Mask Limited Edition flavours is Gingersnap, but Peppermint gives a lovely plumping tingle, too.
No matter what flavour you come out with, it's always the same luscious balmy Laneige lip mask consistency I'm used to, but with even more delicious formulas that keep my lips nourished while making me want to lick it all off at the same time.
If you don't believe me, I dare you to not fall in love watching this Laneige lip mask tribute video below.
2. There's more to you than being really, really good looking.
I admit, I first thought you might just be a pretty face. And you came on thick and strong; your fruit scent caught me off guard.
But, like my mum always says, never judge a book by its cover.
And of course, she was right.
Not only are your fun, bright coloured tubs with matching scoop applicators cute, but it's what's under the lid that matters most.
3. You’re low maintenance.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, you don’t ask for much, and I like that.
Whether I need you quickly before a Zoom call, to prep my lips before applying a bold lipstick, or winding down before bed, you don't complain about being overworked.
You're always there for me.
And you always make my lips look kissable (if I do say so myself).
4. You do what you say you will (and more).
When I first heard about you from a friend, she gave you a 5-star Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask review.
She said, and I quote, ‘I’ve never had quite an encounter that’s left me feeling so….fulfilled.’
And boy, was she right – don’t think I haven’t noticed how supple my lips feel each morning.
This is a BIG deal because I've had many a lip balm lover in my lifetime and they've all been liars.
They all vowed to keep my lips hydrated and plump, but in the end, they left me high and drier than before. But not you, Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.
Dry, cracked lips? Gone. Flaking? Nowhere to be found, and that’s all because of you.
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Don't ever leave me... please.
I may have had to wait 28-odd years for you to come into my life, but honestly, my lips wouldn’t be the same without you.
Truly, madly, deeply yours and forever,
Alisha xo
