This rich, nourishing lip balm has been a beauty favourite for years, and now there’s a new flavour that’s perfect for the Christmas season

Lip balms are essential, not just in cold weather but all year round, and one that consistently tops the favourites list of celebrities and beauty experts is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. This now-iconic lip balm pot comes in a variety of delightful scents and provides a rich layer of hydration for your lips. Despite its name, it’s not just for nighttime use; it soothes and pampers your lips at any time of day.

Molly-Mae Hague often talks about her love for this lip balm, even packing it in her hospital bag when she gave birth to her daughter Bambi (now two years old). And fans of viral beauty products will be excited to hear that Laneige has just introduced a brand new flavour perfect for this season.

Drawing inspiration from the comforting indulgence of a warm, creamy mug of hot chocolate, the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask now comes in a new Hot Cocoa flavour. Priced at £21 for a generous 20g pot (which lasts a long time, believe us), it’s available from retailers such as Lookfantastic, Space NK and Boots.

The fragrance notes include rich cocoa (naturally) and creamy vanilla topped with marshmallow foam, mirroring the beloved hot beverage, reports OK!.

At its core, the classic Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask formula includes hyaluronic acid, a berry mix complex and shea butter, along with ‘moisture wrap’ technology. If you’re on the hunt for a small extra present for a beauty lover this Christmas, or something to pop into a stocking, we reckon this new launch is an ideal pick.

There are several other brands that provide similar ultra-hydrating masks for your lips, such as Byoma’s Liptide Lip Mask for £10, which comes with a built-in applicator for easy application on the move. Fenty Skin Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask, priced at £20, is also convenient to toss in your handbag, featuring a twist mechanism for quick and easy application.

Tatcha’s The Kissu Lip Mask, meanwhile, costs £27 and includes the brand’s signature hydrating and moisturising ingredients, making it an ultra-nourishing treat for your lips. Lastly, bargain seekers might want to grab e.l.f.’s Holy Hydration! Lip Mask for £8, which has a similar formula and applicator to the Laneige one, although it doesn’t offer the same variety of flavours.
