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!
