Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

1
What it does: Emulsion Stabilising, Masking, Skin Conditioning
Community Rating: Very Disliked

Beeswax is natural wax produced by honey bees and can be synthetically created. It consists mainly of fatty acid esters and long-chain alcohols.

In cosmetics, beeswax is a emollient. Due to its waxy structure, it creates a protective barrier. This barrier prevents water from evaporating off the skin.

This may not be a good ingredient for oily skin. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have concerns.

Beeswax cannot be removed with water, but can be taken off with an oil cleanser.

Beeswax is also antiseptic and contains vitamin A.

It does feel nice on the lips, but keep in mind that it's mostly a glorified, really overpriced chapstick. You could just use chapstick. A slightly heavier chapstick will do the exact same thing--my lips did not feel any different the next morning. Personally just like to use a Burts Bees in the PM and it does exactly the same thing, if not better.

It does an amazing job at hydrating my dry-prone lips overnight, but the price is expensive for the quantity.

Obssessed!!!
I used to smoke, like a lot, that it darkened my lip color. It has been 10 years since I quit smoking, and I was about to go for lip blush when I saw this.
After the second use of this as a night lip mask, I woke up to my lips looking hydrated, plump, and red! Like good red. Like I slept with a lip tint on, and it has melted into my lips. Not like lipstick red, but like I bit my lips for quite a while.
And the thing is, this is not that pigmented.
To say that I was in awe is an understatement. Went near a window for different lighting, and I just fell in love with my "new" soft lips. I tried wiping the color off, and no color came off.
To kind of test it out, I purposely did not use any lip product for the whole day. Next morning, my lips still looked great. The color has faded, but my lips were still not dry, and lip color has definitely improved with reddish hue.
I use this before I go to bed. Sometimes after a lip scrub. I also sometimes use this when working.
