Patchology FlashPatch Hydrating Lip Gel

Light, cooling serum lip mask. Works well, lips stay hydrated for the remainder of the day. Good alternative for under the mask (when you don’t have to speak). However, too expensive for what it does (1-use only) and breaks easily.

This product did nothing for me. I got it in a Birchbox, so I’m glad I didn’t waste money on it. It slid around my face, was a bad shape to properly cover my moth, and it didn’t seem to actually moisturise my lips at all. It just made them wet. Yes, it’s a fun gimmick, but it does absolutely nothing.

I suffer from dry lips pretty quickly, and this mask should give dry lips a moisturizing feeling instantly. So I was very curious! And of course, trying out masks is a lot of fun! When I opened the packaging, the patch was neatly packed in a plastic container. What struck me right away when I opened it is how damp the patch is and no matter how much product is on it. What's a pity is that the patch is very vulnerable. So mine also tore very fast. But still, of course, I was very curious. Unfortunately... the patch doesn't sit well on the lower lip. And so you have to keep it in place all the time because/support it with your fingers to prevent your lower lip from noticing the mask. So for 5 minutes I stood to stop this lip mask with my fingers. You will notice that the product is being included. The mask also looks great and contains small glitters. After a few minutes it looks like my lips are a bit fuller, but once I remove the patch, this effect is gone too. It is recommended to massage the product that may be left on your lips instead of removing it. Conclusion: nice thought up and nice to have tried this. Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. My lips felt the same after a few minutes as before using this mask. And in addition, I personally think it's too much of a hassle that I have to hold that mask for 5 minutes because otherwise it slides down. So for me, this is not susceptible to repetition. I would rather use a tasty lip scrub, after which I rub my lips with a well-groomed product. I'm curious if you might have a different experience with this product? 💕
