A makeup artist has sparked a rush to buy a Trader Joe’s lip mask that is surprisingly similar to a popular and expensive product.

She praised the ability to use the budget-friendly item as a lip gloss, despite it being formulated to be a hydrating mask.

According to Health LineHarsh weather and lack of self-care can cause lips to lack moisture and become chapped.

Experts recommend routinely applying lip balm with SPF 15, drinking water, and having a humidifier at home to prevent chapped lips.

If the cracking and intense dryness do not improve, it is best to speak to a dermatologist.

One beauty enthusiast took to Reddit’s Trader Joe’s forum to recommend a lip product that’s a copycat of LaNeige’s Sleeping Lip Mask.

Posting under the handle u/TDRock8she was thrilled to have just purchased Trader Joe’s Vanilla Lip Mask.

“This was the first time I saw this,” she said.

“It feels a little lighter than LaNeige, but it’s nice and hydrating and has a lot of shine like LaNeige (I’m a makeup artist and even though it’s a moisturizer, I usually use it like a gloss).

“And the vanilla scent is not very strong and is sometimes falsely sweet like vanilla.”

Many Redditors upvoted the post and revealed that they also tried the advantageous purchase.

“It’s so good! I think it’s just as nutritious as the Laneige version without feeling as heavy. A+,” one person wrote.

“I saw this in the store the other day. I’ll have to go back and try that,” said another.

“It gives a beautiful shine and smells great, but it definitely doesn’t moisturize like an overnight lip mask like Laneige does,” commented a third.

The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is $29 at Looks Fantastic.

It has a perfect 5-star rating from satisfied customers.
