As someone who has always struggled with severe lip dryness and cracking, even outside of winter, this has been a game-changer. Here are the highlights: 1. The packaging is absolutely stunning! I'm not usually one to care about design, but this really caught my eye. 2. It comes with a spatula for hygienic and easy application, which is a great touch. 3. The results are truly amazing! In just one day, my lips became plump, smooth, and hydrated. When I woke up and removed it in the morning, dead skin cells just sloughed off effortlessly. 4. The quantity is generous! I've been using it daily for about 3 months, and I think it'll easily last another 5 months. Additional notes: It has a pleasant pink color and a grapefruit scent that isn't off-putting. The texture is delightfully rich.
ConsA couple of downsides: 1. When removing it in the morning, it turns white. Some days it comes off easily, but often it requires vigorous rubbing and leaves a slippery residue. As someone who doesn't like feeling like there's product left after morning cleansing, this was a bit annoying. 2. The texture is quite sticky, making it hard to gauge how much I'm applying. I often end up applying too thick a layer, which might be contributing to the removal issue mentioned above.
TipIf I remember correctly, it's quite pricey, so be sure to purchase during Olive Young sales or use coupons and points on Hwahae to get the best deal!

I can tolerate sticky lip products, so I decided to buy this without hesitation. It's absolutely fantastic, truly! Do you have invisible lip flakes that show up when you apply makeup? Suffer from dry lips even in summer? Ever had your lips crack when smiling? Tried various highly-rated lip balms but still can't achieve that YouTube-worthy smooth pout? Find that jar-type petroleum jelly products just feel greasy and seem to dehydrate your lips further? As someone with chronically dry skin and thin lips that need balm even in summer, winter is especially harsh with dead skin build-up. I used to survive by constantly slathering on lip balm. Traditional jar balms never quite hydrated the flakes enough, so I was about to splurge on that expensive Omo*** balm when I stumbled into Olive Young and spotted this in the lip balm section. Oh my goodness, what a shock! It's amazing how well it hydrates the flakes. The scent is lovely, and a little goes a long way, so it'll last. If you want to gently remove lip flakes daily, use this. Why wouldn't you? Scent: Has a citrusy orange-tangerine fragrance (not subtle, but not overwhelming). Texture: Spreads smoothly. Feel: Slightly sticky, and it seems to draw out moisture, feeling damp after prolonged use. Flake hydration: Apply after showering and completing your skincare routine, before makeup. It's also great for removing flakes. Apply before bed, and you'll be able to gently exfoliate in the morning while washing your face. The jar is generously sized.
ConsThis may vary from person to person, but there are a few potential drawbacks that most people might consider: 1. It doesn't apply well to the inner part of the lips or areas with moisture, tending to slip off. 2. While fine in the jar, it becomes stringy when it melts on the lips due to body heat. This stickiness might be uncomfortable for some users. 3. As mentioned earlier, it seems to draw out moisture, feeling damp after application. At first, I thought it was saliva. 4. You need to use a spatula to apply it. While this is common for jar-type products, this one is particularly soft when melted but firm enough to hold its shape in the jar, making it difficult to apply with fingers. (I've never tried scooping it out with my hands, so I'm not entirely sure about this.) 5. It's not very portable. The jar is quite large, and carrying both the jar and spatula in a bag or pouch can be inconvenient. 6. Personal opinion: The uneven surface makes it challenging to scoop out cleanly.
TipFor plump lips the next day, apply your entire skincare routine including emulsion and cream to your lips before bed, then layer this on top. However, I don't recommend applying it over makeup as it tends to smudge slightly.

Now I understand why it's so popular! While it's not as thick as Vaseline or ginger sugar balms, its hydrating power is truly incredible. My lips tend to be dry all year round, so I always use lip balm. When I apply this before bed, I wake up with no dead skin cells and incredibly moisturized lips. Plus, I love that it comes with a spatula for hygienic application!
ConsAt first, I didn't know better and scooped some with the spatula, transferred it to my hand, and then applied it. The slippery feeling wouldn't go away even when I washed with water! Since then, I've been applying it directly to my lips with the spatula. If you wipe it off with a tissue first, it's a bit less messy, so I can tolerate this minor inconvenience.

Not unpleasant, just a vitamin-like fragrance! - Hydration: When melted with body heat, it becomes oily. As someone who regularly uses Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, I'd say the hydration level is comparable! With regular lip balms, I sometimes wake up with dry lips, but with this one, my lips are super soft in the morning. Bonus: When you open the lid, there's an inner cover, and they provide a separate spatula for hygienic application.
ConsPersonally, I can't think of any downsides - I'm completely satisfied with it. However, those who dislike sticky textures, slippery feelings, or the sensation of having something on their lips might not enjoy this product as much.
TipWhile the amount might seem too much for the spatula, I find it's perfectly fine to use my finger to melt the product with body heat. Since it's for personal use, I think it's okay to apply it this way if you're comfortable with it. You can still get a generous application!

When I received the product, I was instantly smitten by its cute pink design! I applied it before bed and took a photo the next evening after washing it off. Hydration 🧡 Since it's a lip balm, let's start with its moisturizing power. With summer here, I'd been neglecting my lip care, but they were getting too rough to ignore... My lips were quite chapped, so I applied the balm before bed. When I woke up and washed it off, I was amazed to find my lips incredibly smooth! It was truly remarkable. Other lip balms barely made a difference, even when applied generously! Usually, my lips feel dry again after about 3 days. Before, even if I applied lip balm, it would quickly wear off when eating, which was frustrating. But with this balm, even after washing it off in the morning, my lips still felt moisturized. Even after eating, when the balm had worn off, my lips remained hydrated. I'm absolutely thrilled! 🌟 Quantity 🧡 Honestly, when I first got it, I thought there was a lot... and boy, was I right! The amount is incredible. You only need to use a tiny bit - less than half the size of your pinky nail - and it's more than enough. A little goes a long way! It feels like this will last for ages. 😽 Blemishes ❌ My lip skin is very thin, which means it absorbs products quickly. Usually, if I don't properly remove tints or lipsticks, I break out around my mouth. So I was a bit worried about sleeping with this lip balm on, but surprisingly, it didn't cause any blemishes! Glow 🧡 Should I call it a glow? When applied, it gives an incredible shine that makes your lips look super moisturized - like a dewy, glossy lip look. It's amazing, truly... If you want to achieve that dewy lip look, just apply a bit of this over your lip tint, and it'll look gorgeous!
ConsThe only downside might be... the slight greasiness? But I think that's unavoidable if you want deep hydration and moisture, as it comes from the oil ingredients!
