Boba fever has taken over the beauty world, inspiring uniquely textured products with sweet scents and a fun-loving vibe like Laneige's limited-edition Matcha Bubble Tea & Taro Bubble Tea scents, available in popular Lip Sleeping Mask & Lip Glowy Balm formats. While the Matcha Bubble Tea scent is described as rich, sweet and creamy, the Taro Bubble Tea scent brings in the signature nuttiness of the colorful root vegetable.
Fans of the moisturizing Lip Glowy Balm love the formula powered by Korean skincare and ingredients like shea and murumuru seed butters. Suitable for all skin types though ideal for those prone to dryness, this daytime lip treatment promises to win over bubble tea lovers, and fans of other beverage-inspired balm scents from Laneige.
The hydrating Lip Sleeping Mask, better suited for evening and overnight use, softens and protects lips with Vitamin C, coconut oil, and plant-based butters.
