e.l.f. has become increasingly popular in recent years for creating quality dupes of popular mid-range and high-end makeup products, such as Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter. i get the impression that this product is trying to do the same for the Laneige Lip Glowy Balm (or maybe it’s closer to the Summer Fridays lip butter, or the Glossier Balm Dotcom, or the Rhode lip treatment?

this is the only thing that works for my eczema (out of this, vaseline, and cerave healing ointment) and it’s a WONDER for my chronically chapped lips. they haven’t been even the slightest bit dry since i started using this. this is also the only eye cream i use! as i feel others are overpriced and do similar/worse work
The only thing that actually keeps my lips hydrated
