[Review] LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Mint Choco

I reviewed the Etude House Mint Chocolate lip scrub last year. As much as I loved the lip scrub I was very disappointed by the scent because it smelled more like chocolate and less mint so I really hoped that this lip sleeping mask would have that mint scent that I love

Laneige recently changed the packaging of this lip scrub (probably because of all the counterfeits that were circulating in the market) so it looks a little bit different now. The glass tub is replaced with a plastic tub and the font on the front a lot larger and prominent.

The box comes with a free silicon spatula. Its cute and very sturdy .

Features

The Berry Mix Complex™ tend the dry lips smooth and tight with the vitamin C and anti-oxidant ingredients.
The Moisture Wrap™ contains dense ß-glucan moisture barrier with hydro-ion mineral water, evening primrose root extract, and hunza apricot extract, helping absorption into the skin.

I have heard many great things about this particular mask so my expectations were very high. The first thing I noticed was that this smells very minty ( thanks God ) and very moisturizing as well. I applied a generous amount to my lips before going to bed. I noticed that the mask absorbed into the skin after a few minutes but there was light residual balm like film on my lips to lock in the moisture .

The next morning my lips looked so smooth and plump. My matte lipstick went on smoothly as well

This lip sleeping mask is a multiplayer. This work as an overnight lip treatment but you can also use this as a lip balm and a lip gloss to add a bit of shine on top of lipstick. I don't know about other flavours but this Mint Choco gives cooling sensation to the lips. Personally really love this lip mask and I use this Day and Night when ever my lips feel dry and cracked

[Review] ETUDE HOUSE Melting Chocolate Lip Scrub Mint Chocolate

I am a big fan of chocolate and I also love mint flavoured/scented lip products so when I saw the newly released ETUDE HOUSE Melting Chocolate Lip Scrub I was so ecstatic. ( lol okay I am exaggerating )

The packaging is cute, feels very vintage with the small glass jar packaging and aluminum/tin lid. This holds a whopping 12g of product

Features
A mint chocolate-flavored lip scrub removes dead skin cells on rough, dry lips.
Contains Cacao Seed Butter and Jojoba Oil that makes moisture film for dry lips.
It nourishes lips while making it smooth and moisturized

The scrub has a pastel green color very much like an ice cream with brown colored particles embeded in it. According to the ingredient list these particles are actually apricot and grape seed powder instead of plastic beads so that is  great news for everyone who is concerned about water pollution and marine life.

Now I expected this scrub to smell something close to After Eight mints  ( remember those lux British confectionary treats ) but the scent was close to ice cream ( chocolate with a hint of mint ). This has a creamy/ balm like texture with tons of hard scrub particles

How To Use:
Take a proper amount, and apply it over lips smoothly. Massage gently and wash off with lukewarm water.

I applied a small amount of the scrub to my lips with a tiny spatula ( side note: this spatula was not included in the box I found this in my makeup bag). Rubbed it in circular motion over my lips and and then washed with water. This leaves a waxy film on the lips to seal the moisture.

Result
My lips felt soft and smooth to touch. With regular use this makes lips look pink and lively. Overall I am quite satisfied with this scrub ( the scent part was a little disappointing but the creamy texture and good results totally  compensate that)
