Yahalloo!!!
Do you remember the famous Lip Sleeping Mask from Laneige? This product seemed to be everyone’s HG lip care, including me. Well, we aren’t going to talk about the lip sleeping mask, I just want to remind you that the lovely brand amazed most of us with their awesome formula to treat dry and chapped lip and keep it moist and healthy.
AND, since I am in love with this brand, I was extremely excited to try out another of their lip care. It’s Laneige Lip Glowy Balm!
Lip Glowy Balm provides moisture and makes the lips supple and elastic with shea butter content and other Laneige’s great formula. This lip balm offers 4 kinds of fragrance and shade that you can choose as your preference; berry (soft pink color), grapefruit (coral color), peach (soft peach color), pear (natural clear color). I can’t wait any longer, now let’s see how this product works on my lips. Oh, by the way, I got mine in Berry, the pink one!

PACKAGING
Okay, let’s start it from the packaging. The color theme of the package is different in each variant and the Berry one has pink theme, just like the shade of the lip balm inside. Both the tube and outer box come in pink color (but look at the bottom of the box, it has a blue line there. Not really sure why they give a blue line but it will be better if all was in pink, just my opinion haha. However, the blue line doesn’t bother anything, though). I couldn’t find any English description on the package because all information is in Korean. Fortunately Laneige’s website is always updated. So, all the information about the product claims and the ingredients (above) are taken from the website.
Well, the pink tube is quite boring but the glassy tip on its cap makes the package look much better entirely. It looks professional and so Laneige. The size of the tube is very handy and perfect to be a pouch’s bestie too.
The tube is made with twist-open cap so it can prevent the product from leaking as far as we close it properly. And the applicator itself is actually the tip of the tube. It is made in clear slanted shape with a small hole. I am not sure how to describe it, the surface of the applicator feels somewhat rubbery but actually it is not made from rubber. It is very soft and smooth. Hence it feels comfortable when used to apply the product on lips. I also like the good elasticity of the tube because it is very easy to squeeze out the product without too much effort.
SCENT
Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in Berry has berries scent. It reminds me with the Lip Sleeping Mask, but this one has stronger fragrance. Don’t worry, it is a pleasant smell and I guess will not disturb anyone’s nose. I like the scent because it’s not too sweet and has a bit of sour berries scent. It is so refreshing and yummy.
COLOR
When I saw the shade of this Lip Glowy Balm (Berry) on the website, I expected to get a soft pink color on my lips. Unfortunately, it does not give what I wanted.
Yes, it looks pink (the pink is quite vivid and pretty) at the first I took the product out. But after spreading it out, the color becomes very very sheer. It is almost transparent on my lips.
When I read the description on the website again, I realized that this product was actually made to not hamper lip makeup color expression, so yeah, no wonder if it becomes very sheer on lips.
TEXTURE
Laneige Lip Glowy Balm has a pretty thick consistency but not sticky, that’s why it is still comfortable on lips. The texture is soft, glides effortlessly on lips and easy to blend. I am not sure but I think it also brings a bit of oil content in it. This product will immediately smoothen and soothe dry lips once applied on. It is truly glowing like a lip gloss and softens my lips like a lip balm at the same time.
RESULT
It does what it claimed, to give glowing look like coats the lips with a moisturizing film. The glowing effect is not a joke. It looks soo glowy and watery. It also instantly makes my lips extra soft and smooth. On the lips swatch, my wrinkly and dry lips (well, I had a very bad lips condition when I took the photos) became very smooth, plump, moist and (superb) glowy. I couldn’t see any wrinkles on my lips and just like what it claimed, a moisturizing film coated my lips imperfections. You can also see that the dry patches (check the right corner of my lips) are covered perfectly with its moist and shiny look.
Not only gives me a very supple and soft lips look, the longevity of this lip glowy balm is awesome as well. I ate and drank many times (with good manners, of course, haha) while using this lip balm and the glowing effect stayed up to 5 hours. Isn’t it very great for a glowy lip product which is not transferproof? It was not as glowy as the first time I applied it but the dewy and smooth effect was still clearly visible.
I was really amazed with how this product works to make my lips smoother. Even when I had a bad lips condition, this lip balm could keep my lips moist along the day. After using this lip balm and washed my face, I felt my lips softer (just like the soft effect I got in the morning after using Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask during the night).
Finally, I will recommend Laneige Lip Glowy Balm for everyone. This product will not only treat your lip and make it smoother as a daily lip care, but also give pretty glowing effect that can be used as a lip topper or lip gloss on your lip makeup. Moreover, each tube has 10 gram of lip balm, and compared with the price, I think it is pretty affordable for a double-function product. I will definitely try the other variants after this.
