LANEIGE WATER SLEEPING MASK + SPECIAL CARE LIP SLEEPING MASK REVIEW!!!

Good evening peeps!! Today has been such a hectic and very bad day!! I had to cooperate with a very uncooperative group member in my school project, and the guitar course (which I only plan to take for a semester just for the credits) require me to buy a guitar which costs more than $100! Now I know guitars are not cheap, but to spend roe than a hundred dollars on something that I will not touch after the course is finished...it's just not very worth it!

Well! On to happier thoughts! Which is everything skincare and makeup! Comment below if the thought of makeup or skincare makes you forget about most bad happenings in your life! It does for me!



Today we are reviewing the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask and the Laneige Special Care Lip Sleeping Mask. If you guys have been following me, you will know that my lips are very, very dry. Especially my upper lips, where it has flakes and a layer of dry skin that I cannot peel off. I have tried many many ways to deal with it, even resorting to consulting a doctor, and any medicine was only a waste of money and time! So people with dry/chapped lips, gather round!

Now this is what the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask look like:



The packaging is pretty and cute as always. It is a pink, matte bottle with a screw on cap, and it fits the product inside, which is pink as well:) It comes with a spatula/applicator. Again, cute size, cute color, cute design. The spatula, surprisingly, comes with a little Laneige bag too! The back contains information like how long you can keep it after opening the seal, which is 12 months btw!


The spatula/applicator is in a little teardrop shape, and is flat and soft. It applies smoothly onto the lips as well. However, I always thought the spatulas are there for hygiene and cleanliness, and just applying onto my lips is somehow wrong for me>.< So I just take a little bit of the product, transfer it onto my clean index finger, and then apply onto my lips. That way is more hygienic, I think, and I strongly suggest a similar method of application:)

The mask itself is very hydrating, but I find the effects lasts for a day only at most. Which means you have to apply it every night to have nice, soft, smooth lips the nest morning. If you are looking for a miraculous cure for permanent soft lips, you won't find it here. This mask is only effective if you apply it every single night. I do forget sometimes, as I don't usually use lip masks, and the next day there is a layer of the same dry skin I have been suffering from for the past 2 years!

It is extremely hydrating in the night though. You can feel that it doesn't dry up and absorbed even though you are sleeping in an air-conditioned room. It, however, can be easily wiped off by your pillow, so you guys out there who has a habit of moving around while asleep...maybe don't try this XD

You have to wash it off the next morning, but you will find the softest lips in the mirror. It has a slight scent that's a little off-putting for me, but it fades quickly and I have no problem for me. It could be something to take note of if you are sensitive to smells though:)

Pros

  • Hydrating and effective
  • Cute packaging
  • Accounts for hygiene
Cons
  • Has a slight off-putting scent
  • You must use it every night
My rating: 4/5

I feel like if you don't mind the extra step in your routine every night, it is a good choice for you. But if you feel it is too much for your 10 step very effective night routine, (like me), then maybe you should find another pot of gold. For me, I'm going to dig this pot of gold out before I switch to another pot of different gold:) 

   


On to the Water Sleeping Mask! This is truly a gem! It is sooooo hydrating and you can feel your skin just absorbing the product the whole night! It is like a watery gel lotion kind of texture, with a little bit of blue color, which makes it look so soothing, and boy was it really soothing on my skin! Even if you left it on your table in room temperature, when you apply it to your face, it feels cool and watery. This is good for sensitive skin as well as it is water based, and there isn't any ingredients too aggressive or too strong. The scent is pleasant and just smells like water? That's the best way I could describe it. It stays on really well and doesn't transfer onto your pillow while you're sleeping or anything, and in the morning, you can really feel that your face has become smoother, firmer, and definitely not dry AT ALL! Again the packaging fits what the product looks like inside, and is very similar to the lip sleeping mask, where it has a matte blue bottle with a screw on cap.

Pros

  • Very hydrating = effective
  • Pleasant scent
  • Smooths, firms and soothes
Cons
  • I really cannot think of any...
My rating: 5/5!

I definitely recommend this product and I will definitely buy this again. Unless I find another that hydrates my oily and sensitive skin even better, this is what I will use for a while. 


~Till next time girls! Have a nice and beautifully confident day!
