Price & Shop

I received this Petitfee Oil Blossom Lip Mask from  BBCosmetic in exchange for an honest review a while back but all thoughts are my own, as always. ^^ It's $9.90 per piece but you can get it for $9.10 after the 8% discount. For those of you unaware with the free international shipping store, check out my review of them here.

I've made so many purchases from them that I've lost count. They do 50% off deals on their facebook page with free shipping available almost every day so I've caved so many times. I regret nothing. 



Packaging, Ingredients and Directions

The packaging for this balm is super adorable. It comes in a tiny (but incredibly sturdy) square box that houses an equally tiny glass jar that contains 15g of product. They've also included a spatula so you can be more... sanitary I suppose? But I usually just make sure I have clean fingers and use my fingers instead cause using the spatula usually causes me to take out too much product, which I certainly can't return back to the jar.


Ingredients: Diisostearyl Malate, Dipentaerythrityl Hexa C5-0 Acid Esters, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Microcrystalline Wax, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Bees Wax, Ceresin, Petrolatum, Butyrospermum Parkii, Eclipta Prostrata Leaf Powder, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Curcuma Longa Root Extract, Parfum, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Titanium Dioxide, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Moringa Oleifera, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Melia Azadirachta Bark Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil

Running the ingredients through cosdna didn't come up with anything particular to look out for. On the other hand, there are still some ingredients that may be triggering to some such as bees wax, phenoxyethanol, tocopheryl acetate, and jojoba seed oil (buxus chinensis oil). As always with these products, ymmv. I'm not exactly sure how to patch test with lip products but I'm thinking you could try on a different part of your body as you patch test with any other products for a little while to ensure that there's no adverse reacitons before using it on your lips. I yolo'ed and applied it on my lip directly though.

The product brags no aritifical dye and a strong barrier-coating type texture, the former which surprised me since this is such a beautiful shade of pink! It contains 5 kinds of highly nutritious plant oil balms and has camelia seed oil as well as vitamin E. 

Directions says to apply balm onto lips before sleeping and wipe off the next day.



Texture and Fragrance

The Petitfee Oil Blossom Lip Mask is very easily spreadable and doesn't dry sticky. Instread, it feels just like it's name, leaving a layer of oil on my lip to keep it moisturized. It does a good job as a protective barrier but it doesn't really sink into my lips.


As for the fragrance, that I could really do without.While it smells amazing, like some sort of pink bubblegum, it has a scent that doesn't go away. Ever. It also tends to creep into your mouth and it doesn't taste half as good as it smelled. I really dislike the really strong taste it has. Drinking water is impossible unless you want a mouthful of this. Blergh. Fragrance is so bad that I'm taking away 2 points from it. 



Performance

The mask's main aim is hydration and moisturization, both functions it manages to do really well. My lips are pretty well on its own and the only times I need to use this is for when I've use peel off lipsticks or actually just any day I feel like my lips need extra love. I only need a little bit of this to moisturize my skin and it's looking like it's going to last forever. The next morning, there's still a decent amount of this so I can just wipe this off. My lips are left healthy, plumped, and super soft. Love it!

And yet, I'm not going to repurchase it. Because the scent is really very off-putting for me. The scent of bubblegum or artifical strawberry never really goes away and that bothers me enough that I don't really want this on my lips. I actually found myself dreading this. I have yet to find a way to apply this without getting it into my mouth so maybe when I find a way, I'll love this more. For now, it's a pass for me.



Pros and Cons

Pros

  • It's reasonably priced at $9.10 for 15ml of product.
  • It does what it's supposed to wonderfully!
  • The short ingredient list means it has less triggering ingredients and only ingredients that's good for my lips.
  • Keeps my lips moisturized throughout the night and I wake up to supple lips

Cons

  • Scent of pink bubblegum doesn't quite go away no matter what I do. Can't even drink water with this on my lips. It's so bad, I'm taking off 2 points from it.

  1. Maybe try using it as a sleeping mask? This way it won't interfere with your eating and drinking.
