Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Review
This cult K-Beauty icon brought lip sleeping masks into the mainstream and is one of the most well known K-Beauty products on the market today.
Wondering what all the hype is about?
Then stick around because today, I'm giving you the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask review so you have all the information you need to decide whether it’s worth adding to your skincare routine.
What Is It?
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
One of Kbeauty brand Laneige’s all-time bestselling products, the berry flavour is the original lip sleeping mask.
Curious about Laneige? They're owned by beauty conglomerate Amore Pacific (the largest in Korea; they even have a train station named after them).
But back to the Sleeping Mask! It comes in a handy 20ml size with a screw-top lid and a little reusable applicator brush.
What Does It Do?
The brand claims that this leave-on lip sleeping mask hydrates cracked, dry or blistered lips.
"It works by delivering moisture and a rich blend of antioxidants for a nourishing boost that leaves lips feeling plump and full."
How Do You Use It?
They call it a lip sleeping mask but in reality, I've found it to be a versatile little product. It can be used several different ways:
-
As anovernight leave-on treatment for your lips;
-
As an on-the-go lip hydrator
-
As amakeup base for lipstick or lip stains
As an Overnight Mask:
I apply a generous amount to my lips, hit the hay and let the mask do its work! When I wake up in the morning, I wipe off any remaining excess and get on with my day.
As an On-The-Go Treatment:
I carry one of these in my bag for a quick hydration boost on the go. It has a slightly pink colour to it so I find it doubles as a regular lip balm. A little goes a long way though!
As a Makeup Base:
I use it almost like a primer, to prep my lips before lip makeup. I put it on, leave it for about 10 minutes and then apply my lipstick or lip stains. If you're going to be using it like this, just apply a thin layer before applying your lip cosmetic of choice.
What Results Will You Notice From Using It?
With regular use (two to three times a week), I've notice richer, fuller and more nourished lips. It's no lip filler but it definitely helps banish dry, flaky and cracked lips.
How Long Does It Last
Ages!
But seriously, it really does last quite a while. I've had ones banging around for up to two years if I'm alternating with other lip products (probably not ideal, I know but hey - if it ain't broke, don't fix it #amiright).
What’s In It?
The full ingredients list includes:

"Great Product & Smells Yummy
Love the Laneige lip sleeping mask. I've tried all the new launched flavors as well but keep coming back to the original. Smells yummy when you have it on and is great for dry lips. I use it as a lipgloss or to prep my skin before I use lipstick."
