This $18 Lip Mask Conditioned and Gently Exfoliated My Rough, Dry Lips Overnight

The Kinship Supermelt Vegan Lip Jelly Mask ($18) contains three different weights of hyaluronic acid for hydration and papaya enzyme ferment for gentle exfoliation. It also contains sea buckthorn berry, an antioxidant-rich fruit, and conditioning oils and butters such as shea butter, castor oil, coconut oil, and more. Based on ingredients alone, this lip balm does more than mask dryness and chapped lips, and it seems like it can solve the problem from the inside out.

After using the Kinship Supermelt Vegan Lip Jelly Mask ($18) for a week, I noticed that I did not have to reapply the lip mask as often as I have to reapply other lip balms throughout the day. This alone was a dead giveaway that the Kinship Supermelt Lip Jelly Mask worked like skin care but for my lips and truly nourished them. My lips felt hydrated, conditioned, and smoother and even looked brighter and healthier with consistent use. It feels like I have a dedicated serum for my lips.

The Kinship Supermelt Vegan Lip Jelly Mask ($18) has a high-shine finish that gives your lips a subtle plump and glow, exactly like a lip gloss, but it does not feel heavy or sticky. In fact, even though the formula looks thick in the tube, it almost immediately sank into my lips and felt lightweight. There's a slip to it, similar to a lip oil, yet it doesn't feel goopy.

Although you can use the Kinship Supermelt Vegan Lip Jelly Mask ($18)day and night, I love using it as an overnight mask to give my lips some extra love and let the formula soak in all night long. I wake up with softer, hydrated lips rather than parched, cracked lips.

The Kinship Supermelt Vegan Lip Jelly Mask ($18) is clean, cruelty-free, and vegan. It has subtle fruity yet warm vanilla scent that smells like summer in a tube.
