Weekly Roundup: MoroccanOil, Pat McGrath Labs and Laneige

It’s about time I get back to working on With Wildflowers at a more consistent pace and I figured there’s no better way to start than to go over a few new products I’ve been trying every week. Introducing my “weekly roundup” of beauty goods where I’ll be going over the good the bad and the pretty of what I’ve been using. From skincare to lipsticks, to new hair products I’ll be sharing it all!

This week I tried out a couple of Pat McGrath lipsticks, a body oil spray by MoroccanOil and a pretty popular lip sleeping mask by Laneige. Keep reading to see my thoughts.

First up… the Laneige Dream and Glow Lip Sleeping Mask.

For $20 you get a small pot of this thick and gooey mask and a little silicone applicator. My first impression was that the packaging and branding is super cute and the product smells great. I dug the little pink wand into the pot and noticed how thick and sticky the mask is. I used a tiny scoop and smoothed it all over my lips before bed and waited till morning.

My lips were definitely smoother the next morning and I didn’t wake up with any dry or cracking lips in the night like I do with some chapsticks that I have to re apply. During the next day I also noticed my lips stayed more hydrated.

I had my boyfriend try it out with me the next day instead of his usual Vaseline he puts on his lips before bed and the next morning he was happy with how soft his lips felt and said it was a bit better than the Vaseline.

Consensus… I’m into it! I would definitely recommend to use at night during these dry months and also use a little less in the morning when doing makeup to prep my lips for long lasting moisture.

Next up… the Pat McGrath Labs lipsticks. $38 each.

I won’t lie, the dramatic packaging and instagram videos of these sold me. How cool are the sleek tubes with the pouty gold lips? I got Flesh Fatale (the shiny BlitzTrance one) and She’s Heaven ( their LuxeTrance finish). Both colors are a little darker than I expected but great for a more bold lip. They are both hydrating and go on nicely. They don’t have great staying power but with a fun tube like that you want to bust it out to reapply anyway.

Consensus … I wouldn’t get these shades again and probably wouldn’t recommend the sparkly one unless you love a glittery lip. They look great on my vanity but they aren’t my favorite of the week.

Lastly… MoroccanOil Dry Body Oil $48 for the large bottle.

I have been obsessed with the smell of MoroccanOil since I first got some of the gold goo in middle school. I started using it on the ends of my hair after a day of swimming in the summer and have kept it as part of my hair care routine ever since. It smells amazing and offers great shine and moisture so I was really excited to see an oil to use all over my body.

The bottle is really pretty and I love that it has a misting top. You don’t have to open any glass bottles with slippery hands, just pop the cap off and spritz all over yourself when you towel off from the shower. I was so happy that it has the same signature smell and was pleasantly surprised at how fine the spray was. I was able to coat and hydrate my body really quickly without feeling sticky or having to wait long for it to dry.

Consensus … I like it! Definitely excited for this to be part of my new post shower routine and would definitely recommend if you like using oils!

I think my winner this week has to be the lip mask… stay tuned for next week!
