I've read mixed reviews for this sleeping lip mask. Others loved it so much while others thought of this as just a glorified lip balm.
The price is really steep, Php 700+ for a lip product? Luckily, they released a trial/travel size. When I tried this for the first time I also thought it's just a glorified lip balm, but I thought, maybe the effect will show after some time of using it.
So here's how I did the experiment (if you're in the medical field, this is called a randomized controlled trial, hahaha). I tried applying the product everynight before sleeping, then I brush my teeth and have my breakfast the next morning. After which I take a picture of my lips. Then I apply the same lip tint for both tests. I wear a Soft Lips Lip Balm then
The Chateau Labiotte Wine Tint for 1 whole day. Then I remove all my makeup by the end of the day with
Banila Co Clean it Zero.
In between 2 product use, there's a 1 week in between wherein I won't put on anything on my lips at night, not even lip balm. Just the Soft Lips Lip Balm in the morning before the wine tint.
For this test, I chose Burt's Bees Soothing Lip Balm as the Contender. I find this lip balm very soothing to my lips when they're irritated from the lip products.
Before we begin, this is my lip profile: DRY! Chapped everyday.
