Woohoo the first review of 2018 and one that has been WELL OVERDUE! I’ve actually owned a small pile of these since September 2016 now and yes before you have a massive beauty anxiety attack, they are still in date.
I picked these up from Homesense (which is practically TK Maxx’s brother who loves interior design!) in the sale as the box the masks were in was damaged. You got 3 in a box and from memory they were £3.00 in the sale.
Alas like all things from Homesense and TK Maxx once things are gone, they’re gone. They still get the odd Korean Beauty item but I haven’t seen these since then. I will link at the end of the review about where you CAN pick them up from.
I used one of these back when I first bought them and it actually caused my lips to be incredibly sore so I was put off using another one for quite some time until recently. I decided to give it another go and thankfully I didn’t have the same result as last time! Throughout me using it I wrote down all my thoughts and feelings so it’s a proper review! I’m really happy to have reviewed this product too as it’s a mixture of positive and negative.
I really hope you enjoy this review though, I know I enjoyed writing it to be honest!
As you can see the title of the post, the product name and also the picture above this is a 3 step kit and takes between 15-20 minutes to do, or maybe 30 minutes if you want some extra pampering!
Step 1 – Lip Peeling Patch. It’s an exfoliating patch which I left on my lips for a couple of minutes so that it could nourish my lips as much as possible. Then when I’ve had enough I take the patch off and rub it gently on my lips to exfoliate them. It has a sort of liquid peel type liquid on it which helps to scrub off any old and dead skin. I’m not going to lie, after using this patch on my lips they did indeed leave them feeling very soft and smooth, but they also felt really sore and hot! This worried me to be honest as I began to wonder if I’d had an allergic reaction to the product itself, or that it may have been way too harsh for my lips and the skin around them. I grabbed a baby wipe to wipe away any excess and a while after this the hotness and sore feeling passed. I hated this step though and next time I don’t think I’ll bother with it.
Step 2 – Volume Lip Pack. This is a gummy feeling lip mask that was by FAR my favourite step in the pack! It smelt gorgeous and I just felt really relaxed whilst using it. Due to the type of material it’s made out of it moulded perfectly to my lips and stayed in place for the 15-20 minutes that I left it on. It especially felt really cooking on my lips after what how step 1 made me feel. When my time was up and I had to take this off, I was a little on the sad side as I was enjoying wearing it so much! After use though my lips felt lovely and soft and somewhat plumped to be honest, however it wasn’t anything special like Kylie Jenner! This being said when I was taking pictures for this post my lips did look much more plumped than before, or maybe they were swollen… 😛
Step 3 – Honey Lip Essence. This is the final step in the pack and it’s pretty much just an intense lip balm. I absolutely hated this for various reasons. The first reason being that this stuff went EVERYWHERE! It was all over a cushion I lean on, on my phone and on my notebook. Whilst it was like Vaseline it was twice as greasy and was so gross. When I did finally get it on my lips it did feel somewhat nice and lasted ages. HOWEVER give me Vaseline ANY DAY!
What do I think of this lip mask kit then? Overall it is pretty decent if you fancy a treat or something different in your pamper routine BUT for the price Yes Style charges for (what looks like one…) it’s not worth it AT ALL. You can get the same result from a lip scrub and loads of Vaseline to be perfectly honest.
This has however given my lips some serious TLC and they have seriously been in need of it by the end of January after spending the month being really poorly.
If you fancy picking up one of these lip kits yourself, then you can find them here on Yes Style.
Would you give this lip kit a go? Make sure to let me know in the comments down below!
Until next time, take care all and I hope February is going well for you so far.
There Might Be Coffee 
I’ve seen these lip kits when I did an online order for k beauty things and almost bought one. I’ve not seen them in a store, though I’d probably get them to try at that price! I think if I got ones to try and had a choice I’d go for ones that were just the middle step, I think I’ve sent some that look similar online.
Yeah I’ve used some that are like the second step and they were amazing! 😀 ooo where did you order your K Beauty bits from? I want to try and get some more bits in the future! 😀
Xxx
I’ve mainly bought from the f2plus1 store on eBay, an odd name but they have a good range and good prices. They have another online store BeautyNetKorea but I’ve never bought from there. They take a couple of weeks to a month to get here but free postage, good price and so far all real products not fakes. 😀 I keep getting sucked in by limited edition cute products, especially Pokémon ones!
I’ll definitely check them out! I’ve been after some new Korean beauty buys for aggggges. 😛 In fact, I’m going to go and have a look now… Even though I wasssss going to do a blog post! 😛
YES the Tony Moly Pokemon range was adorable! 😀

😆 shopping for K beauty stuff is so fun and I can get lost for ages. They have so many cute things. If they had the jigglypuff palette I was going to get that as I love the pikachu one but they’d sold out before I did my order. Probably for the best or I’d have a basket full of Pokémon stuff! 😁
I’m going to go and have a nose now at goodies! 😀 I may have to do a Korean Beauty wish list soon! 😛

Ive never used a lip mask or lip care kit before. But this looks really good. I might give this a go!
It’s lovely to be honest if you fancy a good pamper evening with all the masks in the world! 😛
As I said in the review, I hated step 3 and would just prefer to use good old Vaseline! 😀
