My Lip Care Routine
For a period of time, I started having really chapped,flaky and dry lips.It got so bad that sometimes my lips would bleed when I was in school. No matter how much water I drank or how much lip balm I applied,I couldn't solve my problem because in a matter of minutes, my lips would go back to being cracked again.
Before I talk about my lip care routine, this was actually how it came about:
Initially, I only used the Laneige Berry Lip Sleeping Mask because my friend recommended it and it was highly recommended by a lot of people. Laneige claims that it is able to "gently melt dead skin cells making lips smooth and supple the next morning". It was really smooth and easy to apply, and the texture felt very buttery on my lips. It did leave my lips feeling moisturised. However, my lips only felt moisturized after application and sadly my lips would go back to being really chapped and flaky the next day.
After using it for about 3 weeks, I was on the verge of giving up.I stopped using it for a few days, but my lips seemed to only get worser. So I spoke to my friend about it and she recommended exfoliating my lips with a lip scrub first. But I was thinking about how Laneige had claimed it could melt away dry skin cells, so why would I need to exfoliate my lips first?Nevertheless, I went ahead and purchased a lip scrub, which is the Etude House Berry Delicious Lip Scrub.
Honestly, it made a big difference after I used the lip scrub. When I used both products together, my lips stopped being really dry and flaky, and this gradually improved over the next few days. The lip scrub would remove the flaky and dead skin, while the laneige lip mask would make my lips moisturized and supple. If you're lip problems are the same as mine, I would recommend to exfoliate your lips first with a lip scrub, before adding on the lip sleeping mask.
Can we first address how adorable the packaging is?! It’s so cute, it’s like a little jam glass bottle. I can’t bear to throw away the box either. The only complain I have is that it would have been better if it came with a spatula, but anyways, I used a clean spatula that I had from one of Etude House’s other products. The lid has a sticker on the top which is why I normally put this product in my room in order to prevent it from getting wet.
The smell is pleasant and subtle. I can really feel sugar granules and strawberry seeds,but they are really gentle on my lips. Initially, it felt as if there wasn’t enough of the granules and the seeds on my first application to fully exfoliate my skin, but it was definitely enough to actually clear away the dead skin. I would use this until I feel like the sugar granules have somewhat melted on my lips, and afterwards I would wash off before applying the Laneige lip mask.
I've been liking this lip scrub a lot, because it does the job.It also leaves a slight moisturized feeling on my lips after using this. The packaging does add on points because it really is super adorable. This berry delicious scrub actually comes with two other products, which is just a lip balm and a lip treatment, but I didn't get those.

Laneige Berry Lip Sleeping Mask
The laneige lip mask also comes in a really pretty and simple pink gradient design. It comes along with a spatula that has a really soft rubber applicator and allows me to apply the product smoothly. It comes with a little lid inside to seal the product and I usually just keep it there. It's easy to bring this around if you're thinking of using it as a daily lip balm instead,or if you're going overseas, because the packaging is quite small and compact.
This product is has a Berry Mix Complex where it is enriched with Vitamin C and anti-oxidants from various types of berries. There are many different flavours apart from berry, such as grapefruit, apple and vanilla.
There is a subtle berry smell to it and it does feel like it’s melting when i’m applying it to my lips. I don't usually apply a thick layer although thats the directions because for me, a little goes a long way. It has a really thick consistency when applied to your lips but it is very moisturizing.
In Summary
This two products have worked well together for me. Although I was slightly disappointed with the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask at the start, eventually it worked out well after I used the lip scrub to exfoliate my lips. But apart from that, I also ensured that I was drinking more water in school everyday.
I hope this post was useful for you and till the next post :-)
