LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm Hydrate, Glossy, Lightweight, Moisturize & Tint with Shea Butter

★★★★★ The one that started it all. This is my absolute favorite lip balm! I purchased this balm years ago when it first launched. I have repurchased it ever since, and it was the product that introduced me to the brand.The balm is phenomenal. Its claims are spot on - it moisturizes and volumizes, and the balm's texture fills in the lip lines, giving your lips a more youthful appearance. It's a lip treatment as well because the feel and look of my lips have improved since I started using it.It works wonders for NYC summers and winters - something truly impressive since I usually prefer different textures depending on the season. Laneige is light enough for the heat, and protective and moisturizing enough for the cold.Although I enjoy using all the flavors, my most repurchased is the Berry one. The tint is subtle, but it does a great job at effortlessly perfecting and enhancing the look of your natural lip. I use it on bare lips usually, but they all also pair well on top of liner and lipstick.I always thought that the original lip mask and the Berry balm were the same thing in different packaging, but they are not. The lip mask feels a little bit heavier with more emollience than the lip balm. Although the color looks similar, the balm has a more noticeable tint to it, while the mask looks clear once applied.It's on the thicker side (when compared to other similar products), with a gel-like texture, however, it's not gloopy or sticky. It doesn't get stuck in my hair, and it also stays put - no bleeding outside the lip lines. Each balm smells like its designated flavor. It has a pleasant barely-there scent that isn't overpowering. We all know that we end up ingesting a bit of whatever we put on our lips. The balm doesn't taste like anything. It's not sweet, but also not disgusting. It's something like a mild Aquaphor or Vaseline. Not something you'd really notice.Laneige's balms & masks will continue to hold that holy-grail status with me for years to come. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE. I can't believe I have never heard of or tried this brand of lip gloss/balm before!!! I live in Florida and everyone in my bottom lip splits. I have tried everything under the sun and nothing works!! I always have to keep reapplying and it never seems to soak in my lips. However this amazing brand soaks into my lips and I don't have to reapply it often it has been a game changer and a lifesaver!!! It actually soaks in and moisturizes, my lip stops resplitting. I will NEVER purchase any more chapstick, lip treatments or anything. Thank you thank you Laneige!!! ps I have only tried the lip glossy berry so far.

★★★★★ Great lip product. So, 5/5 stars because it’s the most products fault I can’t read lol. I genuinely thought this was the same thing as their lip mask but it’s not and that’s on me. Aside from my mistake, this is a great product. It has a buttery soft consistency and keeps your lips hydrated and keeps them from becoming chapped. One thing I noticed is it doesn’t heal your lips very well if they’re already cracked or chapped but like I said it does prevent it if they aren’t already. One of my favorite parts of this product is the packaging design. It has such a nice applicator and is a good amount of product for the price. 10/10, not for me but I always give it as a Christmas gift to my sisters and cousins!!

★★★★★ Decent gloss. I first bought the vanilla gloss and I wasn't really sold on it due to the faint vanilla scent. I read the reviews and saw the two of the other glosses had a faint hint of color so I went ahead and purchased the gummy bear. It is so pretty and glossy on my lips. Has a hint of purple color! I just love it! I am going to go back and buy the berry as well. Cons of both glosses very faint scent, no flavor. Doesn't stay glossy for long, maybe an hour at most. Price. Pros super glossy for about and hour, Lips still stay hydrated long after they glossiness has worn off (my lips are very dry so this is excellent. I apply while at work and when I get home I no longer apply and my lips are still soft until it's time for bed), some have a bit of tint. Even though the pros and cons are kind of even I'm obsessed with this gloss and will continue to use it.

★★★★☆ How much color? Not much. I've used the nighttime lip mask, which is excellent. This product is very similar in that it is thick and makes your lips very glossy. The gloss lasts maybe an hour, but the benefit of softening lasts at least a few hours. I was also looking for a product that could deliver some color and I bought the BERRY option. While the product delivered on most counts, there wasn't much color. (See photo.) It was great otherwise, but did lose one star for not having much color.
