That’s partly why I love putting these posts together.

And if you’re reading, you’re no doubt on the hunt for a new Korean lip balm to use.

.

Why Do I Need A Lip Balm?

For so many reasons – to keep the skin on your lips smooth and free from cracking or chapping. And let’s not forget that neglected lips can make you look older too.

I don’t know about you, but I always seem to have dry lips, and therefore use more lip balm when the seasons change, and particularly in cold weather. When I haven’t drunk enough water and when I’m out in the elements – wind and sun.

So if you’re searching for something new, or maybe an old favorite, take a look below and see what takes your fancy in the world of Korean lip balms. These are my picks of the best lip balms Korean beauty has to offer for all skin types.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

No Korean Beauty list would be complete without mentioning Laneige, so I thought I’d start right here. And if you haven’t treated yourself to this gorgeous product, do so right away!

It’s available in a number of different scents and flavors, but no matter what, I always go back to the original berry.

• a leave-on overnight lip mask intended to apply before bedtime – I use it in the daytime though!
• rich in anti-oxidants to condition and nourish your lips
• contains coconut oil, shea butter, and murumuru seed butter to protect your lips
• contains vitamin C to nourish your lips while you sleep
• 1 bought every 3 seconds worldwide in 2021 (according to Laneige global unit sales)

Nooni Appleplum Lip Oil

• formulated with apple plum for gentle hydration
• tinted for a natural cool-toned flush look
• contains kakadyplum extract and jojoba oil extracts that contain anti-oxidants
• contains vitamins A, C, and E for nourishment
• vegan
• cruelty-free
• volumizing

Find Nooni Appleplum Lip Oil Duo here on Amazon and check out at the different flavor/tint options as well if the appleplum isn’t your jam.

.

Kahi Seoul Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm

So, while not a true lip product, this intriguing multi-tasker from Kahi Seoul is worth mentioning on my list.

With ingredients described as salmon collagen and salmon PDRN, a little further digging revealed some interesting things about these ingredients.

The National Library of Medicines describes PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotides) as, well, essentially the DNA of salmon sperm.

These materials are supposed to help restore the skin’s elasticity by increasing the collagen levels in the skin. And also help reduce inflammation.

Let’s just hope it doesn’t go all “Monkey Shines” on us (check it out if you like campy 80’s horror/thrillers).

And may be worth avoiding altogether if you suffer any seafood allergies!

Maybe I’m late to this K-beauty trend, as I do recall an actor telling me about his wife’s beauty products containing animal sperm earlier this year. But nevertheless, this is still unsettling and more than a little intriguing for me.

What do you think? Comment below if you’re more savvy with this product, or other beauty products with these ingredients.

• restores elasticity to the skin
• for all-over face and body use as well as lips
• instant moisturization
• contains Jeju oils such as: Schisandra berries, carrot root extract, carrot seed oil containing beta carotene
• this new product sold 3 balms every second when launched!

Care: Nel Lip Sleeping Mask

A not-so-subtle dupe of Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask, Carenel makes no effort to try to be it’s own thing. The packaging, the name, even the flavor echo that of the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. But this is somewhat less of a hit to your back pocket, so there it is.

Whenever I’m trying to bring you the best of the best products available, I sadly find I want to buy them ALL for myself. I do get giddy, especially when discovering some of the ingredients in K-beauty products. And the best thing is, that most of these products are very affordable.

I truly love the adventurous, slightly contentious nature of Korean beauty products and the K-beauty method.

The post 17 Of The Best Korean Lip Balms appeared first on The Makeup Refinery.

These days we have all become far more aware of what we are putting on our skin. And I don’t mean what products we use, but what’s actually inside them. What ingredients we are using, and where they come from. This can only lead to benefit us humans.

And in turn, the more savvy and educated we can all become. Good news right?

So, what happens if you’re vegan, or allergic to one or many animal products? The options for vegan alternatives are way more accessible than in times gone by. I know what you’re thinking “I use cruelty-free lip balms, I’m doing my part”

Although cruelty-free lip balm products are a good step, these can still be categorized as such while containing animal by-products.

Take beeswax for a minute. Beeswax is often one of the main ingredients used in lip balm. Once you start paying attention, you’ll notice.

And when you really start to take a look, you’ll discover just how many lip balms and lip care products are based on beeswax or bee-byproducts. (I like to say bee-byproducts!)

After all, beeswax is occlusive, which makes it a beneficial ingredient in lip balm. It helps keep moisture locked into your skin, however, being a bee-by product means it’s pretty much discounted from the vegan umbrella.

What Are the Best Alternatives to Beeswax?

So, what are your vegan options then, if you are indeed allergic to beeswax? I suspect this was the situation with my case studies when learning about Egyptian Magic.

The best news is, you definitely have options.

Efficacious alternatives to beeswax include (but are not limited to) – soy, carnauba wax, berry wax, and candelilla wax.

All are plant derivatives and tend to make up the base of vegan lip balms on the market.

So let’s take a look at my list of the best vegan lip balms and best vegan lip balm brands your money can buy.

.

What To Do To For Healthy Lips

Follow these simple steps to up your lip care game:

• drink lots of water
• use an SPF lip balm when outdoors
• apply lip balm before bed
• stop licking your lips
• keep air-conditioner exposure to a minimum
• eat well
• use a lip scrub – once in a while
• remove your makeup before bed
• use a humidifier at nighttime if extremely dry lips

The post The 17 Best Vegan Lip Balm Brands (2024) appeared first on The Makeup Refinery.

It seems like dry, flaky lips are one of the first signals that I’m not drinking enough water in the colder months. And all Game of Thrones references aside (I promise I won’t make any more in this post!), I can thank Bite Beauty and their lineup of Agave lip care products to tide me over and bring my dull, dry lips back to life again!

This post may contain affiliate links. This means I’ll receive a commission if you purchase through my links, at no extra cost to you. Please read full disclosure for more information. Having said that, I only ever recommend products or services that I truly love and stand behind!

Bite Beauty Agave + Lip Tint Tin

Bite Beauty’s Agave+ Lip Tint Tins are currently available in the cutest limited edition packaging. Featuring apropos cactus and agave artworks on the lid, the 5 color range surely has something for everyone.

I sampled the Lip Tint Tin in Smashed (a very sheer, lip flush pinky/red tone) and Bramble (a cooler toned berry tint).

Bramble is my pick for color as my complexion lends itself to a cooler-toned lip tint. Incidentally, the two colors I chose for myself are the two non-shimmer products of the 5.

The three remaining tones are:

• Swizzle (peachy, pink)
• Buzzed (champagne gold)
• Highball (warm cocoa tone)

They all have a shimmer reflect in their texture. So if that’s what you are going for, then definitely start there in your color choices.

The lip tint goes on as smooth as butter and feels creamy on the lips without being overly thick or sticky.

I see this product easily becoming a staple in my lip care. It’s easy to apply and has just enough pigment to give you a hint of color without being a full-on lipstick application.

There is something to be said for being able to rely on a lip product you can apply without the luxury of a mirror!! And Bite Beauty’s Agave +Lip Tint Tin ticks all the boxes for reliability in the blind application for me.

In line with Bite Beauty’s clean beauty mantra, the Lip Tint Tin is vegan, cruelty-free and lanolin free.

It also contains Agave Nectar to nurture lips and cocoa butter to help soothe and nourish even the driest lips!

.

Bite Beauty Intensive Lip Mask

I’m a big fan of a lip treatment that you can wear all day and nobody even notices!

It’s currently available in two colors: Agave (clear) and Buzzed (rose gold pearl)

The Intensive Lip Mask comes in a pocket-sized tube and definitely feels way stickier on the finger than it does on your lips (phew – there is nothing more loathsome than an overly sticky lip mask, don’t you think?)

Like the Lip Tint Tins I have already mentioned, the Lip Mask too, has a very understated flavor this is both pleasant and not in any way over powering.

Bite Beauty states that they aim to use naturally derived scents and strive for the usage of less than 1% of synthetic fragrance in their products.

The Lip Mask has a yummy and yes, subtle orange/vanilla taste that I love!

Ingredients:

• Agave Nectar to soothe and nurture
• Mangosteen Extract which is anti-oxidant rich and will moisturize lips
• Açai to give anti-oxidant support to lips
• Oat Flour to soothe and cushion lips

.

Bite Beauty Weekly Lip Scrub

As Bite Beauty states, when informing us about their Weekly Scrub, it acts as a 3 in 1. Cleansing, exfoliating AND conditioning.

The Weekly Lip Scrub tastes so good, I almost want to eat it!

I love their scrub because Bite Beauty suggests you can use it to help remove lip color!

Why didn’t I think of that?

You know, those times when you wear a highly pigmented lipstick that won’t budge when you’re removing your makeup? The idea of using a lip care product to remove your lipstick makes sense!

Ingredients:

• Agave Nectar to soothe and nurture
• Fair Trade Organic Golden Sugar to exfoliate dry, flaky lips
• Papaya Enzymes work as an enzymatic exfoliant and break down skin
• Plant-derived Squalane to mimic your skin’s own moisture and add hydration

2019 Winner of the Cosmopolitan Makeup Award

2020 Winner of Allure Magazine Best of Beauty Award

.

Bite Beauty Nighttime Lip Therapy

Bite Beauty recommends a pairing of the Nighttime Lip Therapy Balm with the Weekly Scrub and I agree entirely. If you are having nay kind of dry lip or flaky lip issue at all, these two products are an absolute must-have!

This is a solid to oil product, so when you apply it, you literally feel it melt into your lips. And then it’ll do all the hard work while you sleep.

Ingredients:

• Bite Beauty’s signature Agave Nectar to soothe and nurture (do you see a pattern forming here?)
• Pomegranate Extract to give your lips a boost of anti-oxidants
• Safflower, Sunflower, and Jojoba Seed Oils to create a liquid-smooth texture and provide and lock in moisture overnight

.

2019 Winner Best Overnight Lip Treatment for Women’s Health Beauty Awards

I think I have mentioned pretty much my favorites from the Bite Beauty Agave Lip Care range. Can you keep a secret?

There is the best value for money set available which comes as a trio. It’s called the Starlit Succulents and you can;t go wrong with this trio that will save your lips!

Starlit Succulents contains:

• mini Agave+ Weekly Lip Scrub
• a mini Agave+ Nighttime Lip Therapy
• mini Agave+ Intensive Lip Mask

All for around $10.00!!! This is an absolute steal! So don’t tell anyone, as I need to buy more as well.

.

Bite Beauty Daytime Lip Balm

There’s no denying that 2020 was not lipstick’s best year. But I must admit, that I have probably bought and used more lip balm than many years prior.

Having only recently sampled the Bite Beauty Daytime Lip Balm, I have to say, I like it a lot so far.

In a standard lipstick-style applicator, the clear balm goes on with ease and stays on.

Again, working hard to nourish and hydrate your lips so you don’t even have to think about it.

Ingredients:

• Agave Nectar to nurture and soothe
• Mongongo Oil which comes from a desert tree full of vitamin E and Omega 6 acids to heal and tend to your lips as if they were indeed lost in the desert!
• Cocoa Butter to keep your lips supple and hydrated

Yet another high-quality vegan, lanolin-free and highly moisturizing lip balm that heals your poor, dry lips. Once you apply it, you’ll just want to keep re-applying it, cause it feels so good on!

.

Well, that’s it for my sampling of Bite Beauty Agave delights.

Have you tried any of these products? Are you experiencing dry lips this winter? If so, I can’t recommend this selection from Bite Beauty enough!

The post Thirsty Lips? Bite Beauty Agave to the Rescue! appeared first on The Makeup Refinery.

Oh, and before we go any further, it’s pronounced NUG, as in SNUG as a BUG in a RUG. Okay, we’ve got that cleared up, let’s carry on. Shall we?

What I love about Nügg Beauty as a brand is that it’s so accessible. You can usually pick it up at Target or Whole Foods or on Amazon. The single-serve notion, whilst being convenient and affordable, does upset the ethical earth-loving side of me.

However, Nügg makes some really great little products, and they are perfect for being on the go or if you’re traveling (road trips count!).

This post may contain affiliate links, which means I’ll receive a commission if you purchase through my links, at no extra cost to you. Please read full disclosure for more information. Having said that, I only ever recommend products or services that I truly love and stand behind!

Nügg Lip Crush Vanilla Lip Scrub

There is something so satisfying about putting any sugar scrub product on your lips. It exfoliates without being too harsh, and it just feels great! I do love a good lip scrub product, for sure.

As you can guess from the name and description, the lip scrub does a champion job of sloughing away the dead skin cells as you massage in the delicious (yes, it’s really yummy!) vanilla-flavored sugar granules.

It also contains Jojoba Oil, which is bursting with fatty acids. The benefits of fatty acids are not only great for our lips but our skin as well.

Fatty acids help calm, hydrate, improve appearance, and reduce redness. They can also reduce flakiness, protect against environmental factors, help provide anti-oxidants that help with anti-aging. Wowzers!

Fatty acids are certainly our friends when it comes to our skincare, and you can definitely sense them going to work in this product.

The Lip Scrub also contains Cocoa Butter to help moisturize your lips whilst giving them their necessary exfoliation. Buy it right here!

The Lip Scrub is now available in 4 different aromas:

• Coffee Fix – find it here
• Berry Dream – find it here
• Vanilla – (that I have reviewed above) find it here
• Chocolate Mint – find it here

Something for everyone, right?

At this point, I’d love to add that Nügg Beauty produces all-natural skincare products. They are certified vegan and are a Cruelty-Free brand, so look for the leaping bunny when you buy.

They are also paraben-free, do not contain any synthetic fragrances or petrochemicals.

I also enjoy noting their cute and savvy recommendations to re-purpose the packaging after you’ve finished using up the product. And I have to agree that the pocket-size nature of these lip care products can’t help but lend themselves to perfectly paring with your favorite skincare products for your weekend away!

And if you’re suffering in the chapped lip department, pair the scrub with the Nugg lip mask and you have yourself a user-friendly, budget-friendly, and effective lip treatment sure to bring life back into even the dullest and most dry, chapped lips in town!

Nügg Lip Bestie Coconut Lip Mask

Lip Bestie Coconut Lip mask is packed with Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter. It really goes on feeling like thick, creamy butter. As the name suggests, it’s also full of coconut oil. So with a trio of ingredients like that, your lips are in for a serious burst of hydration

The Cocoa Butter acts as an emollient; forming a seal on the lips that helps to retain moisture within them. At the same time it provides protection from the sun, wind, and other environmental factors you may be likely to face.

Shea Butter within the Mask contains Vitamins A and E which will work to soothe your lips and help heal any cracking or chapping you may be experiencing.

Unlike the peel-off mini-packs of their facial masks, Nugg’s lip products are presented in little metallic ball-shaped tubs. While these are kind of cute and fun, they don’t sit well on your bathroom counter-top, without the use of a spirit level, that is. They will do much better in your handbag, that’s for sure. But they are super cute.

And for around $10.00 or so, who’s complaining?

What I also really like about the mask, is that I can still use it as a daily lip product. As well as pop it on before bed for a more intense overnight treatment, as suggested.

If you’d like to try it, or you need a new lip mask for your dry lips, you can find it here!

I know I have mentioned this before when discussing lip treatments and in particular, lip sleeping masks. But there truly is something satisfying about waking up and still retaining the product on your lips. You just know it has been working overnight if it’s still there in the morning.

I am a big fan and follower of Nügg. I have tried and tested many, many products of the Nugg Beauty range. And no doubt I will re-visit them soon to share my thoughts about some other favorites of mine.

What is your lip-care routine? Have you used the Nugg Lip Mask? Do you ever use it to remove lip color? Please comment below. Tell me your go-to lip masks and scrubs, and anything else you like to use on a regular basis!

Silicon Exfoliating Lip Brush

At first glance, this Lip Exfoliating Brush looks a bit like a toothbrush. It’s double-sided. And helps in removing dead skin from your dry lips. I have used it with both a standard lip balm and a lip scrub for a more assertive exfoliation. You can even use it without any product if you’re in a pinch. Feels great and leaves lips ready for a lip masque treatment or nice balm.

My old faithful Burt’s Bees Lip Balm. My favourite ‘flavour’ is Pomegranate. But there are plenty of different scents for everyone. It feels great, has a very slight tint and is almost non-glossy for everyday wear.

The Eminence Lip Trio

This is an excellent set from Eminence – three delicious products as a luxurious and perfect home treatment. Step 1 is the Citrus Enzyme Lip Exfoliator. This would pair perfectly with the silicon exfoliating brush I mentioned above. Step 2 is the Lip Comfort and Plumping Masque. The final step is the Citrus Lip Balm. I recommend this trio all the time to people who need a little attention in the lip area. It’s also a great treatment to do at home for yourself without being a full facial production!

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

A brilliant addition to your home skincare cabinet too. Original Berry is my favourite shade! Coat your lips with this smooth and rich masque before bed. Leave on for a lovely overnight treatment. There is nothing to stop you from using it during the day (I do!) Seek out the Sample Size pots which are great to carry in your purse.

There are so many wonderful lip balms, butters, salves and masques on the market. This is just my current shortlist.

What are your lip care must haves? I’d love to know so I can try them too!

In the meantime, go exploring and treat yourself! Your lips will thank you!
