My primary love languages are gift giving and words of affirmation, and when you’re good at the former, the latter come in spades. I am often—and repeatedly—told that my gifts are next-level, so I am privy to this symbiotic dynamic. Despite my confidence in this arena, I am surprised that all of the gifts, big and small, expensive and cheap, the one I keep getting rave reviews on is Make Beauty’s $22 Lip Reset Overnight Lip Mask.
During the holiday season, my gifting responsibilities become obscene in number; as such, I’ll do things like buy every iteration of a beauty product I swear by and figure out who to give them to along the way. Thus, four people ended up with a Make Beauty lip mask, and it has surprisingly elicited more rave reviews than gifts 15 times as expensive. The overall consensus is that this lip mask feels like an It Girl secret, comes with a lot of product, has eight-plus hour staying power, and makes lips the softest they’ve ever been.

I always have a tub of the bubblegum pink Lunar Lemonade Lip Mask on my nightstand. I like it because it’s viscous yet silky, thick but not sticky, and fresh-smelling. Most importantly, however, are its near-miraculous overnight benefits—eight hours of shut eye later, and the most chapped, dehydrated, deflated, and dull lips are plump, bouncy, soft, and supple. The effect is so drastic that you could skip any lip treatments for a day or two.
The recipients of my Make Beauty Lip Mask gifts and I have experienced these benefits, and it’s not hive mind or placebo effect—the formula is pretty scientifically sound and convincing. Antioxidant-rich vitamin C sloughs off dull, dead cells, shea butter softens and hydrates, and a vegan lanolin alternative is an occlusive that keeps all that moisture in place.
