The Face Shop - Modeling Gel Patch Lip Mask

I have been wanting to try these gel lip masks for a while and when The Face Shop newly opened several months ago, I bought one to try for myself. This product looks very fun and interesting to use!

The instructions on the packaging said to give your lips some "face yoga" before application. By face yoga, they meant puckering your lips a few times... That's the first time I heard of this term, haha! So I did this before putting the gel patch on my lips but I don't think it made much difference.

When I took this gel patch out of the packaging, I almost ripped it because of the slippery, jelly texture. Be sure to press around your lips to make the gel patch adhere onto your skin. It has a very faint cherry scent which I liked and the lip mask gives a slight cooling sensation.

You leave this mask on for around 10 - 15 minutes and during this time you can walk around the house showing everyone your new Angelina Jolie lips! It's quite entertaining I must say. :)

RESULTS:

Before

After

Before I put this lip mask on, I had slightly cracked, pale, and dry lips. After removing the lip mask, my lips were not cracked anymore and had retained its natural lip colour. Surprisingly, my lips did not feel very moisturized afterwards. I did this mask prior to sleeping and thought it would leave my lips soft and plump overnight. Unfortunately, it didn't and I had to even apply lip balm after the mask.

Overall, I would recommend this product to be used before applying a vibrant lipstick. It smooths out the surface of your lips and it is a fun product to use. Though personally, I don't think this is a lip mask that will replenish the moisture back into your lips.

OVERALL RATING: 3/5
