LANEIGE

I'll gladly repurchase this lip mask over and over again, because for 20 USD you get a ton of product (and you only need to use a tiny little bit at a time) and it does the trick for me.

I have dry skin and naturally dry lips. I find that I do not get as much texture whenever I use this lip mask. I like the original scent, because it smells like berries and bubblegum, thus brings back good memories of my childhood. This is not a vegan or 100% green product though, so if you are looking for something that is part of the "clean" beauty line - I think you might enjoy Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask more.

I should start off by saying that this product is suitable for very oily or oily/combination skin ONLY. I have a very oily t-zone and dry cheeks, and this product did work well for me.

Pros:
1. Works particularly well if you live in a hot + humid country.
2. Really helps in oil control and sebum production throughout the day. In fact, this is where the main complaint might come in for those with dry skin - it does cause patchiness if there is not enough oil/moisture on the skin for this product to combat.
3. I've worn this for 12-hour long work days and it still looks great (semi-matte + clear) without touch-ups. I don't powder this foundation down at all, and it still stays on my face the whole day.
4. Buildable coverage + amazing SPF protection.

Cons:
1. Does not work well during winter or dryer months when the air is colder/dryer, even if you have oily skin. This product is really effective in mattifying your skin. So it's better to use during hotter seasons - which then begs the question if it's economical. :')

Tips:
1. To combat the dryness of my cheeks, I apply a moisturising primer (Tarte base tape primer works very well for me - it contains coconut milk), and then apply this foundation on top.
2. Moisturising/hydrating concealers work best with this foundation, in my opinion! E.g. Tarte's shape tape is NOT a good combo with this one, but something like Maybelline's age rewind concealer is a better pick!
3. I wouldn't recommend using a powder to set this foundation - it's not needed since it's long-lasting and mattifying. But each to his own, so you gotta see what works best for you!

I live in a condo where the air is dry and have dry skin in the winter. I purchased this hoping that it would moisturize my skin better. I didn't notice significant changes after using this. To be sure, I tested this mask on exactly HALF my face at night, on top of my regular moisturizer. There were ZERO differences in the morning for both sides of my skin. So I guess it doesn't do anything for me?

Pros: smells nice, good packaging, mildly moisturizing
Cons: expensive, not SUPER moisturizing, doesn't add a glow to your skin

I really don’t think this product works. I hate that it feels sticky as well.

I purchased a mini version of this because I was so intrigued by it & finally succumbed to it.

Living in the tropics, humid climate. Oily combo skin type, acne prone/slight blemishes currently. Currently an NC25-30 skin tone. Using shade 23 Sand which happens to be a good match.

I have tried initial application with the cushion sponge but I found that it kind of sticks to my skin in a not nice way. Did not like the texture that it looked on my skin afterwards.

Afterwards I switched to applying the product with a beauty blender & preferred the finish much, much better. The shade blends really well into my skin. I don’t have much to cover in general except my cheeks which have blemishes, so I applied the most from the cheek area and outwards.

Surprisingly it also concealed my pore areas nicely. It almost feels like skin. I almost regret that I did not try it earlier!

Coverage wise, light-medium coverage, and buildable with a natural finish. If you have oily combo skin type like me, best bet is to set the product and it can last for a good 6-8 hrs without coming off. I’m not a fan of touch ups, but this is great as the packaging is compact.

If you prefer heavier coverage, this might not be for you. You may still need to use a fair bit of concealer to achieve a fuller coverage.

In terms of “whitening” properties, I’m not sure if this has it, I haven’t really noticed much. But it’s definitely something that I would possibly repurchase at a full size version!

Really really pleased. I think I’m going back to using Kbeauty products.

Hope this helps!
