➕ pros: affordable, it comes with spatula, easy to be applied, really helping to moisturize our lips
This is my first lip mask, so basically I have no expectation and have no other comparison. First time using it, feeling kinda surprised since it feels so thick on my lips, the one that makes you aware that there is something on your lips. When I go to sleep with it, I'm kinda scared that it will stain my pillowcase. But, after one day I was lazy enough to not use the spatula, I chose to use my little finger to apply it on my lips, and this is the game changing moment for me, because finally it feels not as thick as it does before. Another thing is if you’re already used to using it, you don’t have to wipe it down using tissue or cotton pads in the morning, because it feels like it is absorbed into your lips so it’s more like an overnight lip balm instead.
The good thing about this lip mask is the moisturizing effect that is real for me. As a person who has dry and chapped lips, and also the one that rarely drinks water on a daily basis (but really love using matte lip products), this product helps me a lot. One day I wore a matte lip cream for 6 hours straight without drinking anything yet my lips stayed moisturized and not chapped at all, when usually even if I drink a lot of water my lips would always be chapped. Since that day, this product is my go-to rescue, especially if my lips are super dry, in need of hydration but rarely gets enough water like this fasting month (aka Ramadhan). The best combo, for me, is using a lip scrub, next is using this lip mask and in the morning, continuing with a lip balm. The moisturize will last longer than usual.
➖ cons: it feels pretty thick, easy to stain on pillowcase
As I said that it feels pretty thick. It lets you know that you put a product on your lips which I'm kinda uncomfortable about it. Another downside is, it's kinda stained on pillowcases, especially if you put it a lot (and mostly on the first few times)
