It has a sweet, fruity acai mango smoothie scent. The product itself has an acai- and mango-colored marbled pattern, and it looks so cute and puts me in a good mood. Right after applying it, the texture is pretty sticky, and it feels like it thoroughly coats your lips. It might feel a little heavy if you prefer something lightweight. By the next morning, the stickiness is gone (though it may have rubbed off on the bedding...), and it may stain fabric. My lips felt plump, and I didn't notice any dryness. I wanted to use the same scent during the day too, so I also bought the Acai Mango Smoothie Lip Glowy Balm. The Lip Sleeping Mask comes in a large size, so it barely goes down, but this season's new Gingerbread flavor was too cute to resist, so I bought it. The wide variety of scents is also appealing, but I think preferences will vary, so if possible, I recommend smelling them in person at a store before buying. Also, around the initial release or during promotions, it sometimes comes with a limited-edition spatula holder. The one included this time was a cute spatula designed to look like a smoothie cup. Perks like these are part of the fun too, so if you're considering buying it, I recommend checking the timing.

Dior

Addict Lip Glow Oil

I've been a loyal user of Black Cherry. I won Pink in a viewduc campaign, so I'm happy to have another one in my collection ☺️ I think it's fair to say this is what kicked off the lip oil boom. Clarins had one way before this, but it wasn't as viral as it is now. It's thick and film-like with a bold shine, so it might not go that well with office makeup or natural makeup. But it doesn't irritate my lips, it smells nice, and above all, using Dior puts me in a good mood, so it's one item that's always in my makeup bag.

Dior

Lip Glow Butter

104 BLACK CHERRY ☑︎ It's great because you can use it just like a lip balm◎ You can even apply it without looking, like when you're in a rush! But still want a little color..! Or when you can't pull out a mirror, but your lips are dry..! It's a lifesaver in moments like that 😂 ☑︎ The color is sheer too, so it doesn't get too intense, and while it looks natural, it makes you look more stylish? More effortlessly put-together? I think it might not be enough for anyone who wants a strong pop of color! ☑︎ My lips get irritated easily, and lip products that don't agree with me make them peel right away, but this one is fine ✌︎ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ It also comes with a Dior charm, and it's just unfair how cute the packaging is. Just having it lifts my mood, and I highly recommend it as a gift too 🎁🥨✨

Laneige

Lip Sleeping Mask

An essential lip mask for keeping my lips in check✨️ Even using a generous amount every night, it lasts almost a year, so the value is unbeatable too🥹 I'm on my fourth one, and honestly, there's no reason to use any other lip mask…! It's super easy to use—just apply a generous amount before bed🎶 (I recommend using more than you think and applying it until your lips are super glossy◎) It makes my lips soft, plump, and hydrated, so I wake up with them in the best condition🙂‍↕️ When my lips are in bad shape, it lifts away the excess dead skin, so it's really satisfying when it peels right off the next morning😂 There are lots of flavors, but I'm not a fan of anything with too strong a scent, so I've always used Grapefruit, which seemed the easiest to use when I tried the testers!

Obagi

Derma Power X Lip Essence

The lip balm from Obagi that everyone's fave Minami Tanaka apparently uses too🫧 For me, it's an absolute must-have, a total lifesaver lip balm😭💫 Before I started using this, my lips would always get dry and chapped in winter, but ever since I started using this lip balm from Obagi, my lips haven't gotten chapped once🙀 No peeling either🙀🙀 I happened to lose my Obagi lip balm recently, and just a few days without using it left my lips chapped🫪 That's when I realized how amazing the Obagi lip balm is💘 It doesn't feel sticky, and it's fragrance-free, and I also love how easy it is to use anytime🙂‍↕️🫶

Freshian

Sensual Vegan Lip Balm

It doesn't feel very moisturizing and has kind of a flat look. It felt like a slightly gaudy, old-school '80s lipstick! Maybe it would be different in another color(?) But the packaging is cute.

DHC

Lip Cream

Used it up! Anya is so cute ♡ The packaging was super cute, so I bought it Bond is printed on it too, so cute ♡ My lips dry out a lot, so lip balm has always been a must-have for me, but this is my first time using DHC It's really moisturizing without being sticky 🩷 But it's not the melty type of lip balm, so it gets a little hard on cold days If you run warm, you might be able to warm it up with the heat from your lips 🔥

Yves Saint Laurent

Loveshine Lip Oil Stick

209 Pink Desire A cute lip color with that fresh, glossy finish you'd expect from YSL. The stick is smooth and glides right over the lips without catching. Since it applies so smoothly, it’s less likely to look patchy even if you don’t carefully trace your lip line in the mirror, and it’s easy to quickly reapply, which makes it really convenient to use. Right after applying, it looks glossy and gives the surface of the lips a plump finish. It has an oil-like shine, but it doesn’t feel sticky or like there’s a thick film on the lips, and it feels relatively lightweight. The shade might be more suited to cool undertones? It has a sheer color payoff. Applied lightly, it lets your natural lip color show through slightly for a healthy flush, and layering it makes the color stand out more for a glamorous look. Even when layered, the color doesn’t get too heavy and the shine remains, so I personally like layering it. This shade contains fine gold pearl that shows when the light hits it. It only gives a subtle sparkle when you move your lips, so it’s easy to wear every day too. The freshly applied shine settles down a little over time, but the color and gloss seem to stay on the lips well. It also doesn’t leave my lips feeling very dry or tight, so it’s an easy lip color to use when my lips are prone to dryness.

Losy Kim

PDRN Tinted Lip Ampoule

An item a friend on social media introduced me to. I'd never heard of the brand at all, but I've been seeing it around a lot lately. I fell in love with the Seamless shade at first sight. Even next to the low-saturation lip products I already own, you can really see how cute the muted color and watery shine are. The metal applicator isn't just hygienic, it's also super well-shaped and easy to apply with. Also, what really deserves a mention is that it doesn't make my lips chapped. I'd thought peeling was just unavoidable with any lip product, but this one doesn't make them peel at all! I'm amazed.

Romand

Juicy Flash Lip Oil

The soft, mellow color looks like it has soy milk mixed in, and it's so cute! The perfect color for fall. It's a little sticky, so I use a thin layer. Recommended for layering.

Lip Mask

It's definitely moisturizing, but personally, I found applying the lip balm a little bit of a hassle🥲 I use it as a moisturizing treatment before bed! For taking care of dry lips, it was easy to use and kept them moisturized until the next morning!

Romand

Juicy Flash Lip Oil

I totally bought this during the Mega Sale just because the packaging looked so good, but I tried it today and OMG this lip oil is way too gorgeous, both the plumping effect and the color have me so excited 🤎((yelling Every Romand lip product I've tried has made me go, ooh, this is nice~, but this time I'm obsessed with the packaging too, so there was literally no reason not to buy it 💭💭Currently debating whether to get the other colors during Qoo10's Mega Point event too.

Rohto Mentholatum

Lip Fondue

I've repurchased this over 10 times—it's my go-to lip product! My lips are really sensitive, and if a lip product doesn't agree with me, my lips peel no matter what I apply, but this one is really easy to use, and I've bought it over 10 times. I keep one in my makeup pouch, one on my desk at work, and one by my bed. I love that I can apply it like a lip balm, but it still adds a hint of color and leaves my lips looking plump and glossy. I use this almost exclusively for everyday wear, and when I occasionally want a different color, I layer another lip product over it. If I head out in the morning wearing only this, my lips do sometimes peel a little as time goes by. But it's inexpensive, so I can reapply it as many times as I want without worrying about wasting it, which is a big plus. Even when my lips do peel, if I apply this, leave it on for a bit, and then blot it off with a tissue, the loose skin comes off more easily, so I just reapply it afterward. I've tried all kinds of expensive lip products, but I always end up coming back to this. It has a great balance of color, glossiness, ease of use, and price, and it's a lip product I can't live without.

Uriage

Xemose Moisturizing Lipstick

One of the many products I tried when I was struggling with chronically peeling lips. By far my favorite among stick-type lip balms. I bought it on a whim because it had good reviews on Amazon and was cheap, but it worked better than I expected. ・Improves peeling and provides lasting moisture It feels like it softens the skin on my lips and reduces the roughness of skin that has become dry and hardened. Even the thin layer from just one quick application seems to keep my lips moisturized for a decent amount of time. ・Not very sticky I don't know the exact ingredients, but as mentioned above, even though the moisturizing effect lasts, it doesn't have that oily stickiness or feel slimy, so it's easy to use before applying makeup too. I've stocked up on various other products, so I won't repurchase it right away, but I'd like to use it again once I've finished the lip care products I already have.

Losy Kim

PDRN Tinted Lip Ampoule

09: Tights It makes your lips super glossy and plump. The color doesn't last that well. This was my first time buying a muted lip color. Since it's muted, the color payoff is of course subtle. I'd never seen a lip product with PDRN before, so I thought it was unusual. Looking at the finish, it gets glossy enough that you can really feel the PDRN. When I opened it and squeezed the lip product out, some clear liquid came out, maybe because it had separated. (It was a very small amount.) I wiped it off with a tissue and squeezed it again, and the product came out properly, but I did feel a little worried, like, is this okay?
