This lip mask is the reason I haven’t purchased any lip gloss in forever.
Sometimes, you need to raid your teenagers makeup drawer to discover new things.
Yes, I am fully aware that the tables have turned and the child who used to go into my makeup drawer has turned into a teenager who knows what to buy at Sephora and has picked up many good products. And yes, I am fully aware that I am giving away my age here. That’s nothing to be ashamed of. (I shall recommend an anti-wrinkle cream next.)
Anyway, I’m not sure if it was the constant mask-wearing or winter air in general, but I found myself suffering with chapped lips all the time. Nothing worked. I applied chapstick constantly. Everything I used to do to alleviate the problem was for some reason, not working.
My daughter suggested I try her lip mask (love how fancy that sounds!) and I did. I applied a layer before bed and was amazed how it was still on come morning. And my lips? Cured. Smooth and soft.
I also loved the shade of the mask, which, in turn, became my go-to lip gloss. Yes, I kid you not. It goes on easy, stays put (unlike traditional lip gloss) and gives you that touch of pink and shine without adding too much. You know, the no-makeup-I-woke-up-like-this-look.
If only.
Come summer, I know I will be using this as lip gloss even more. I keep one tub in the car and one in my room.
