The overnight lip mask that built a cult following gets noticeably pricier: the formula still delivers, but the value math changed.

Quick Take
Owners wake up to noticeably softer, smoother lips after a single night, and the jar lasts for months of nightly use. The new $32.50 price stings compared to the old $24, and the thick balm texture is not for everyone. Still, for severe dryness it is one of the most reliably effective lip treatments around.
What We Like
- Visible overnight results for cracked or flaky lips
- Thick formula seals in moisture for hours
- One jar lasts several months of nightly use
- Fun range of scents, Berry is the classic
- Works as a daytime balm and a lip primer too
What We Don’t Like
- Price jumped from $24 to $32.50
- Very thick and sticky texture divides opinion
- Open jar means dipping fingers in
- Fragrance can irritate very sensitive lips

Full Review
Quality
The formula centers on Berry Fruit Complex for antioxidants plus murumuru seed butter, shea butter, and coconut oil for deep moisture, with vitamin C for protection. The texture is a rich, cushiony balm that coats lips and stays put all night without migrating. Packaging is a small pink jar with a little spatula tucked inside the lid, which is cute but most owners admit they just use a fingertip.
Value
At the original $24 this was an easy yes. At $32.50 the value is murkier, since drugstore lip balms now cost a tenth of the price and last nearly as long per use. The counterpoint owners make: a jar stretches four to six months, and nothing at $8 fixes truly cracked winter lips the same way. You are paying a premium for results, not for volume.
Who Should Buy It
Buy it if your lips crack, peel, or flake every winter and regular balms just sit on top.
Who Should Skip It
Skip it if you hate sticky lip products or prefer fragrance free options; this one is unapologetically perfumed and plush.
FINAL VERDICT
Even at the higher price, it does exactly what it promises: soft, flake free lips by morning. The formula has not changed, only the receipt. If your lips are in real trouble, it is worth it; if they are fine already, drugstore balm will do.
