Beauty Battle: Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch Blueberry vs Etude House Cherry Jelly Lips Patch

Welcome to a new series called Beauty Battle!

There are so many different Kbeauty brands that have a wide variety of products. A lot of times those products are similar. Because of the overlap, I decided to take some of these products and put them up against each other.

There will be four different categories that I will judge the products by: packaging, application/ease of use, experience, and results. Points will be awarded in each category and will be tallied up in the end. Whichever product has the most points wins the battle!

For the first Beauty Battle, I am putting the Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch Blueberry against the Etude House Cherry Jelly Lips Patch.

Tony Moly on Left, Etude House on Right

Package

Both of the lip patches come in sturdy plastic and pink packaging. The Tony Moly has ducks and blueberries on it and the Etude House has a cat on it. I feel like both of the products are cute and adorable and to be honest, I really don't have a preference over one or the other. Because it's a toss up to me, I'm calling it a draw and awarding each of the brands 1 point.

Application/Ease of use

For application/ease of use of the product, I found that both products fit over my lips nicely at first. However, as time went on, I found that the Tony Moly lip patch tended to come off easier and didn't want to stay put. I constantly had to adjust the lip patch. On the other hand, the Etude House lip path stayed in place and I didn't find myself having to adjust the lip patch, which is why I'm awarding Etude House 1 point for the better application.

Experience

Both the lip patches felt cooling and tingling on the lips, which I felt was pleasant. The feeling was essentially the same, but what differed between the two was the scents of the products. The Tony Moly smelled of berries and the Etude House was supposed to smell like cherries. However, the Etude House lip patch smelled more like a wine/alcohol scent and I really did not like it. The Tony Moly lip patch is getting the point in this round.

Results

As for the results, I paid close attention to my lips during and after the treatment of each lip patch. I used these lip patches around the same time and  didn't change anything else about my routine. I noticed that after I used the Etude House patch, my lips felt hydrated and soft. This wasn't the case for the Tony Moly lip patch. My lips were dry and patchy after use. For whatever reason, it seems that the Etude House brand was better  for my lips, so it gets the point.

FINAL VERDICT: 

 

Tony Moly: 2 points

Etude House: 3 points

And the winner is…

 

Etude House 

Just a note, even though the Etude House lip patch won, I really think that I won't be repurchasing either lip patches in the future. I just felt like overall both lip patches were not impressive and I'm going to have to search for a better one to use.

Anyway, I hope you all liked this Beauty Battle series! I'll be sure to find more similar products and put them to the test in the near future!

Review:

As stated above, the packaging is ridiculously cute! 😄 There are three steps to this lip kit and each step is clearly labeled on the package. What I like about the packaging besides its cuteness, was that each step was separated in it's on compartment and they were perforated for easy access of the product and use between the steps.

Front

Back

Perforated lines make it easy to separate between each step.

 The first step is a white cotton sheet that is shaped like a pair of lips. You're supposed to use this to exfoliate the lips. This pad did absolutely nothing for my lips. I rubbed hard and it still didn't exfoliate my lips. Although it might be just me because I don't really suffer from super chapped lips.

Step 1

The second step was the most fun compared to the other two steps! It’s a gel consistency, shaped like a pair of lips, and has a slight pinkish tone to it. I was a little worried that this was going to slip and slide all over the place, but it actually stayed nice and put after you placed it on your lips. While waiting the 15 minutes, I just watched some TV and before you know it, it was time to remove it.

Step 2

The third step consisted of applying honey lip balm. The consistency was very thick, sticky, and goopy. There's actually a lot left over product, so if you want to save it for another use, you could. If you're not a fan of sticky and thick lip balms, you won't like this step.

Step 3

I used this kit overnight and the next morning, my lips were definitely more moisturized and a little more plumper. It also felt soft to the touch. Overall, this is a fun thing to do and does help if your lips are feeling a little chapped or dry. Would I repurchase this? Probably not. It's a fun thing to do and works great, but in all honesty I feel like exfoliating my lips with my e.l.f. lip scrub and using petroleum jelly works just as well for me, so I'll be continuing with that.

Overall:

Pros:	Cons:
*super cute packaging *fun to do *moisturizes and hydrates lips *slight plumping affect to lips *lip mask stays put	*step 1 doesn't do much to exfoliate *if you don't like thick or sticky lip balms, you won't like step 3
