Buy 1, Get 1 Free: two 10 ml tubes for $22.97, which is $11.49 a tube.
I tested the lip peel that keeps chasing me around Instagram, so you don't have to.
1. I had no idea a clear lipstick could become MY perfect shade
I had one in every coat pocket. I'd put it on, the flake would go shiny and soft, and by lunch it was still sitting there under my lipstick. Balm softens, it doesn't lift. This dries into a film in ten minutes, and the loose skin comes away when the film does.
2. Nobody told me my lips would feel softer at the end of the day
Sugar scrubs left my lips stinging, so I'd abandon them for a month and be right back where I started. There's nothing to rub here. No acid, no grit. A thin even layer, ten minutes while I did my eyes, then I peeled it off and my lips looked smoother and felt softer.
3. Nobody warned me about the compliments
My sister caught me lifting the film off at the bathroom mirror and wanted to know what it was. Priya, 41, put it better than I can: my lipstick stopped catching on anything in the middle of my bottom lip.
4. Who knew I could stop reapplying 5 times a day?
That was the habit I was least proud of. Dry patch at the corner, pick at it, make it worse, cover it with balm, repeat. The first morning after I used this there was nothing to pick at. Ten minutes, peel, balm, color. My hands stayed on the wheel.
5. Why didn't anyone tell me I could buy one and get one FREE?
I counted the ten dollars like everyone does with a small tube. Then I found out you can buy one and get one free: two 10 ml tubes for $22.97, which is $11.49 each. One for the cabinet, one for the bag.
Women who'd given up on lip masks
Danielle, 34
I've had dry lips as long as I've worn lipstick. Balm never took anything off, it just made the flakes shiny. Ten minutes of this and my lipstick finally stopped catching on a ridge in the middle.
Marisol, 29
The tint is the part I didn't expect to care about. I can see exactly where it is, and when the color's gone I know it's ready to come off.
Tasha, 31
It cools when it's drying, which startled me for about three seconds until I read that it's supposed to. Now it's the part I like. Ten minutes, peel, balm, lipstick, out the door.
