Sephora Lip Mask
Do you want to nourish and hydrate your matte lipstick dried lips? Then this mask is a must-have for you. Sephora Shea lip mask! Before and after photos 💋
Greetings!
For quite a while I was dreaming of testing some lip mask. And one day I just went to a store and bought it.
I can’t say that I was choosing it for long, I just bought this Sephora Shea mask and that’s all.
The outer design of the packaging:
It’s a cute, matte and pleasant by touch beige packaging with a lips image on it. Somehow I thought that the mask itself would be of the same color. But later I found out that it wasn’t.
Manufactured in Korea

A next-generation bio-cellulose lip mask that perfectly hugs the contours of your lips, featuring a formula with shea butter to hydrate and smooth.
How to use:
-Unfold the mask and remove the clear protective backing from one side of the mask.
-Apply the mask to lips then remove the second protective backing. Reposition the mask if needed.
-Leave on for 15 minutes, remove the mask and lightly massage any remaining formula into lips and lip contours.

How does the mask look like?
When I took it out from the package I saw a piece of cloth made with lip contours. The hydrogel pad, which is actually the mask, was wrapped between two protective backing.
I was pleasantly surprised when I found out how much of the liquid formula was used. In fact, I managed to use this mask twice and each time the result was awesome.
The most important thing is to keep the packaging tightly closed, otherwise, the formula will dry down.
Once I took the mask in my hands, it almost slipped out. It was a narrow escape.
So, here are my lips before. Three days before, I used to wear matte lipsticks a lot and I didn’t use any lip balms on purpose.
Before
The mask sheet is pretty wide, which I liked since the action of the product wasn’t limited to my lips but it was also enough to nourish the skin around them.
It was a problem to apply the mask, though. At first, I couldn’t cope with it at all. It was always slipping out and once it looked like it set fine, within 3 seconds, I could see that it traveled down. Finally, I managed to get it steady and I can assure you that all the 15 minutes the mask was present on my lips.
The product doesn’t have any scent. It leaves some kind of a bitter taste behind, which is repelling.
I took the mask off 15 minutes later and placed back in the packaging for the second use, closing it hermetically.
Results:
What result have I received for my lips?
Immediately I saw that my lips were pink, smooth and plump. They looked more voluminous and hydrated. I wish I tried this mask during the cold season when my lips are flaking but I couldn’t wait so long. But even now I can see that the result is astonishing.
Right after the mask use
Within 30 minutes my lips were still nourished as though right after the use of the mask. After that my lip color changed and they started to look paler.
The results disappeared within 2 hours, little by little.
I also noticed that after this mask all my problematic lipsticks apply better.
Within 2 hours
Pros:
1. The mask nourishes;
2. It hydrates;
3. It plumps my lips;
4. It soothes;
5. After use of this mask, lipsticks apply well
Cons:
1. The mask is slippery;
2. Pricey.
OVERALL: It was the first time for me when I used a lip mask and I liked the outcome. I doubt that I repurchase due to the price tag. However, it can be my special occasion solution for SOS help. It’ll be a good friend before some events! I can really see it working.
♥♥♥ Thanks for reading my post. Have an enjoyable shopping day! ♥♥♥
