While a comfortable night is nice, I found this product to have a smoother application. And the beautiful, plastic-free packaging is a bonus.
ConsIf the large capacity is a drawback, then it is not a drawback..? I even liked the way of using it by pushing it with my hand.
TipYou can apply it to any dry area, including eyebrows or the sides of the nose, with a light touch.

It also has excellent immediate effects on dry and tight skin.
ConsIt's not very cost-effective. It would be better to buy more from a more well-known brand instead.

To my surprise, the color payoff is great, it lasts a long time, and it feels moisturizing. The ingredients are also impressive.
ConsAs many have mentioned, I'm worried about it getting dented if I carry it around, what if it gets wet, and what if I accidentally push it in too hard and can't properly apply it.

ConsIt's too inconvenient to use. It's made with a concave shape, so when you first apply it, the edges end up crumbling. And you have to push it rather than twist it, so every time you use it, you have to push it and then push it back in with your mouth or hand. Sigh, I wonder why they made it this way.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros☝🏻 Incredibly beautiful and eco-friendly packaging This is the first time I've encountered a lip balm with a paper package like this from Monage. The realistic endangered animal print on it is so pretty and cute. The package clearly reflects Monage's brand image of being environmentally conscious, and I'm very satisfied with it. Moreover, it has a unique design where you push down on the bottom - something I haven't seen in other lip balms! It's a bit of a hassle to put back in, but I think the environmental consideration makes up for this minor inconvenience. ☝🏻 Light and refreshing to use As someone who applies lip balm frequently, I tend to avoid heavy formulas as they can feel unpleasant. Especially when eating food or drinking beverages, heavy lip balms can feel oily and unpleasant. But Monage's light texture doesn't bother me at all when I'm enjoying my meals, so I really appreciate that. ☝🏻 Stays on through the night I'm the type to generously apply lip balm before bed, and this product manages to stay on my lips even when I wake up the next morning, despite its lightweight formula. If you dislike thick lip mask textures but still want overnight lip hydration, I'd highly recommend using this every night before bed. Just apply a generous amount, go to sleep, and in the morning you can wipe it off with a wet wipe for soft, smooth lips without any irritation.
ConsNo notable downsides! The entire product being made of paper does make the application and reapplication process a bit inconvenient, but considering it's for the environment, I think this minor inconvenience is worth it. So it's hard for me to pinpoint any true downsides, but I've included this since I felt I needed to list something in the 'Cons' section.

Cons✔️While the moisture is good, it doesn't have a coated feeling, so if you want extremely good moisture, I recommend using Pyeonhan Night! ✔️The opening is a bit large, so it feels a little big to apply on the lips. ✔️It's so comfortable to use that you end up using it up too quickly 🥲
Tip✔️For those with cracked feet! At night, use Pyeonhan Night, and in the morning, apply Maeilbam and wear socks for the day. Your feet will become smooth.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI'm so happy and excited that the Monage product I've been using for years has finally made its way to Hwahae! The brand provides detailed product descriptions on Instagram and quickly shares event notices, which I really appreciate. I highly recommend their cleanser, lotion, and cream as well. ✨ Texture & Application Compared to the initial lip balm, the texture has become incredibly soft. It melts quickly on the skin and applies smoothly. There's no grainy feeling, and the wide surface area makes it easy to apply to various areas. The Maeilbam is a great daily product that can be applied lightly without feeling burdensome. ✨ Packaging The paper case is quite sturdy, so I don't have to worry about it tearing easily. The cute raccoon photo is a bonus! The sliding mechanism has become much smoother after the renewal, making it easy to use. I just gently slide it up and tap it back down to store it. It's really not difficult to get used to at all!! ✨ Fragrance The fragrance is neutral, similar to an ointment, which makes it comfortable to apply without any burden. I'm glad it's not artificially scented, which gives me more confidence in the product. Many lip balms on the market have fragrances, so even if I liked the texture and application, I often didn't want to repurchase. But the Monage Maeilbam satisfies me in every aspect!
Cons🐳 Case The lid doesn't seal tightly like a typical lip balm, so it's a bit tricky to carry around. I just keep it on my desk and apply it whenever I can! That's enough for me. Portable tips are below! There's nothing else particularly negative.
Tip🍊 Tip for Applying! Don't push the lip balm directly. Instead, gently tap the lip balm with your other hand. (See the 4th photo) It glides in so smoothly! 🍊 Tip for Portability! Putting the lip balm in an elongated cylindrical container (like an empty probiotic bottle) is perfect. It increases the size a bit, but there's less risk of losing the lid or damaging the case/contents. 🍊 Tip for Portability 2! If the size is too bulky, you can cut down a sample-sized jar and carry that around instead! Since it melts easily with body heat, you can just swipe it on with a clean finger. I refilled a sample jar from the Almaeng Shop in Mangwon-dong, Seoul. They sell 3g sizes too!

The non-glossy, matte texture makes it easy to apply daily in the morning and evening. I applied it to my chapped lips and the wind-burned face of my child, and it absorbed moisturizing and had good moisturizing power! It's eco-friendly and convenient to carry around. I carried it in my pocket when I went out and applied it anytime, anywhere!
ConsIt's a bit difficult to return the contents after use, but considering the environmentally-conscious mindset, I'm willing to put up with a little inconvenience!
TipRecommended for those sensitive to fragrance! Be sure to try this all-in-one night cream that you'll want to apply daily and frequently! It moisturizes the skin of the whole family!
