Pucker up pillowy soft lips after treating with the Mamonde lip sleeping mask

January 7, 2019 Paris B 18 Comments

It often surprises people to know that lip balm does not feature high on my list of must-have beauty items. “But you’re a beauty blogger!” They cry. To which my answer is “Yes I am, so I’m more discerning”

Unless I’m in a cold, dry climate, I never wear lip balm in the day. I personally believe that regular use creates dependency, but that’s just me.

That said, I do take care of my lips – I just do it at night. Like with hand cream.

I usually slick a layer of Lucas Papaw Ointment on my lips every night before bed. That’s my regular lip treatment – it’s affordable and lasts me years if I buy the large tub. That said, I have been informed that it’s increasingly hard to find locally, not that I know why.

A while ago, I discovered the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask and that had proven to be a favourite lip treatment. In fact, I never ever leave home without it – hotel rooms, airplanes etc have notoriously dry air. Sometimes, I use it just to give my lips a treat, and I wake up with soft, smooth, flake-free lips.

So, when I came across the Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask, I was intrigued enough to have a go.

Actually, what made me pick it up was when someone told me that she knew I loved the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (ah, the perils of being a beauty blogger!), but she felt that the Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask was better.

Now, I’m never one to back down from a challenge LOL! 😀 So, I decided that I’d buy the Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask, then decide if it was better than my staple favourite.

What was interesting about the Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask is that it does not only help keep lips moisturised with the plum blossom extract, shea butter and muru muru extract; it also contains glycolic acid to gently exfoliate your lips.

Lest you cringe at this point and go “What?! Glycolic acid?!” I will tell you that it probably is very minimal in quantity (It is low on the ingredient list) and there is no tingly effect whatsoever.

The packaging is that of a flat tub, which makes it more portable, and the balm feels more waxy that I’m used to. After a while, when you’ve worked through the top-most layer of the balm, it does feel a little more slick and balm-like. But there is still a waxy texture to it.

There is also a light floral scent which isn’t unpleasant. But I much prefer that products which sit so close to my nose do not have a scent. Still, it is a fresh scent at least, not a heavy scent of flowers.

Texture-wise, I find it a little light. I have worn this both as a lip balm in the day, and with a thicker layer as a lip mask at night. Truth to tell, aside from leaving my lips feeling soft in the mornings, and flake-free, I am unable to tell if there is any peeling or exfoliating, as they claim.

I have carried this with me for many months to test it in as many different conditions as I can – in hotel rooms, in planes, in a cooler, drier climate. I am happy to report that it works well in all aspects.

I use the Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask in the day, in place of a lip balm, because I find it is more intensive. So, my lips feel more protected from drying out. At night or in an airplane where air is dry, I use a thicker layer, to treat.

I’m very happy to say that I think this will work for most people, who like me, don’t use a lip balm daily, but want something to treat their lips as they sleep, so they wake up to soft, plump lips. You need soft, smooth lips so your lipstick looks amazing all day! 😀 It is comfortable, not sticky and just a little waxy but not uncomfortable.

If you are a regular lip balm user however, you may find this superfluous or too expensive, considering all the more affordable options you can get at a pharmacy. So, manage your expectations accordingly 🙂

IN A NUTSHELL

The Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask is a lip treatment that you apply on your lips overnight, much like a sleeping mask. The texture is a little waxy, and there is a light scent. It claims to also exfoliate your lips, leaving you with softer, pinker, less lined lips. I find the texture waxy but light and comfortable. I use it in the day as a lip balm when travelling (I don’t wear lip balm on a daily basis) and as a lip treatment at night. I like that I wake up to soft, plumped lips in the morning. A nice, fairly affordable treatment that can last you a long long while.

NOTE: Name of product appears to have changed to Mamonde Aqua Peel Lip Sleeping Mask. Wish they didn’t do this all the time. Appears to be the same product.

PROS:
Affordable
Leaves lips feeling soft, smooth and plumped
Texture feels comfortable on lips
Keeps lips protected in drier climates

CONS:
Can be expensive if used as a daily lip balm

WHO WILL LIKE THIS: Anyone who wants a fuss free overnight lip treatment for plump, smooth, soft lips in the morning

PRICE: RM65 | US$14 for 20g

WHERE TO BUY: Mamonde counters, various websites that sell Mamonde products

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask vs Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask

Ok, I know you are wondering about this, and to be fair, so was I. I just had to know if the Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask would dethrone my favour for the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.

The answer for me is No, it does not.

Having used both over a period of time, my preference lies with the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I have only used the original berry flavour, not the new-fangled flavours, so I will not vouch for the new ones.

But here’s why I prefer the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask over the Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask

  • It’s thicker in texture and more balmy – I prefer the more balmy texture, and the thicker layer of product on my lips
  • It works better at protecting and plumping my lips – my lips feel noticeably more plumped, softer and smoother the next morning so I feel that its ingredients work better for me
  • It is less waxy in texture – I personally find that if it is too waxy, it tends to just sit on my lips instead of doing anything else

Is there one thing I don’t like as much about the Laneige? Yes. The scent.

I have not tried the other scents available, but the sweet, strong berry scent can be off-putting to me. Not so off-putting that I will toss this out or stop using it, but enough that I wrinkle my nose each time I apply it.

Price-wise, unusually for Mamonde (it is a more affordable brand in general) there isn’t much difference between the Mamonde and Laneige Lip Sleeping Masks. The RRP difference is just RM5 so I’d personally put that RM5 towards the Laneige because my lips like it better! 😀

Have you tried the Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask? Do you use any lip sleeping masks?

It does sound gimmicky, but don’t knock it – these things do work! And far better than mere vaseline, or even my Lucas Papaw Ointment 🙂

        Hermo used to carry Lucas Pawpaw online but not anymore either. This is pretty recent. Could be the local distributor has stopped bringing it in.

          I saw some tubes of it in Vitacare or Guardian recently. But not the tubs anymore – those were very good value. Mine lasted for years. Literally! LOL! I hope they haven’t stopped bringing it in – but if they do, I’ll just have to find an alternative!

    I’m a loyalist when it comes to lip balm, have been using Nivea Lip Care in Original (blue tube) for decades, cheap and good that I don’t even bother to explore other brands. I use it in the morning before my lipstick and before bedtime.

    Using a lipstick during the day protects the lips from dryness, no matter where you are, be it in the office, on the plane or while traveling.

    Now I’m curious to try the lip mask….:)

      Most people who use lip balm swear by the Nivea one 🙂 If it’s cheap and good, who really needs to change eh? 😀 I tend to agree with you about lipstick, unless it is something that is drying, as some formula can be. That might be why I opt for something more glossy and nourishing than the matte formula. To be fair, if you already use a lip balm before bed, there isn’t much difference between that and a lip mask. Although when it comes to the Laneige, I swear that it adds moisture somehow.

    My favorites are Mamonde, Laneige and Lanolips. My favorite is Laneige. It never fails to soothe, plump and add moisture to my perpetually dry lips

      I’m with you on Laneige! 😀 I had tried Lanolips many years ago, but despite the cult love for it, I could never appreciate it sadly.

    I love Laneige lip sleeping mask, and i also own the Laneige glowy balm to be used during the day..
    Agree with the scent part, their “mint choco” scent is also off-putting :/

    Would love to try Mamonde’s , as i am keen to try lip mask from other brand…

      The Laneige scent is definitely a touch too strong. I’m told the Vanilla one is nice, but then, I’m afraid of it being too sweet too! LOL! By contrast, the Mamonde one is very lightly scented. Hope you get to try it and can decide which works better for you 🙂

    Hmmm… I LOVE sleeping lip masks because they are so nourishing! I’m wondering if I should give this one a go! I think I might 🙂

    It sounds like the waxy texture would be great for seriously cold climates when it’s snowing or when it’s freezing and windy (wind burn & chill factor). The wax may provide a better protective layer in those conditions. Not that it snows in Sydney LOL

      Actually, I feel the Laneige still works better in those weather conditions LOL! The reason is because the Laneige one is thick while this one, while waxy, isn’t as thick (unless you apply a thick layer of course) That said, I have not tested either in those sorts of temperatures and conditions – I haven’t had a winter holiday in years, and I’m at the stage where I don’t know if I want one, because of the cold! LOL!

        Ahhh ok gotcha! That makes sense 🙂

        Me too actually, the last proper Winter I experienced was in Sweden about 10 years ago (I can’t believe it’s been a decade since I studied in Europe!!!).

        IF I went on holidays during Winter, I’d want a proper winter, with snow and the lot (otherwise it’s just wet, dark and miserable)…

          And there you have the reason I refuse to travel in the deepest, darkest winter seasons. I can never be assured of snow! LOL! 😀 These days, I travel in Autumn or Spring. I avoid Summer because it’s way too hot – I get enough sun at home, thank you!

            That’s very true and very calculated Paris!!! 😛 Though I can’t say that I shy away from summers despite the 40 degree heat waves that we get… maybe because we also get winters??? 🙂

    Laneige has been a saviour for my lips this winter . You have influenced my purchase of getting lip sleeping mask in Berry . I am also curious on all different variants . I wonder apart from scent and color is there any significant difference . Would love to try Mamonde.

      Hi Anusha, so happy to know that you like the Laneige Sleeping Lip Mask too! It keeps lips so soft and smooth! From what I know, there is no difference in formula in the different scents and textures. They just made something different, to satisfy the public who always want something different! LOL!

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
