The changing spring weather can be rough on your lips, drying them out and creating a chapped look.
If you have tried an endless string of lip balms, glosses, and scrubs to no avail, Boots may have the answer.
The Berry Lip Mask is once again available on the chain’s shelves and currently retails for just £4.50.
However, the budget-friendly price isn’t the only reason the product has become so popular.

Fans have compared it to Laneige’s bestselling Lip Sleeping Mask, which is currently listed for £21.
It has been a fan favourite among A-listers, including Kate Moss, Julianne Hough, Kendall Jenner, Ashley Benson, and Charli XCX.
The Boots Berry Lip Mask is formulated with “ultra hydrating” ingredients, including coconut oil and shea butter.
These not only hydrate dry lips, but also soothe any cuts and cracks.
While Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask contains similar ingredients, its the accessories that accompany the purchase which have led to many of the comparisons.
Both lip masks come with a dinky applicator, which can be used to apply the product directly to your lips.
This helps to keep the product clean from any germs which may be on your fingers.
The Boots’ Berry Lip Mask and the high-end alternative are both designed to be applied at night.
They are said to leave your lips feeling silky smooth and nourished in the morning.
You can also apply the products in the daytime too for an extra boost of hydration, especially if you suffer with dry lips.
The budget Boots buy is berry scented and has scored five star ratings.

“A huge 55% of us would like to spend less on our beauty routines according to new research from E.l.f. Cosmetics, so it’s no wonder there’s millions of #dupe videos on Tiktok.
“While some dupes are easy to spot given their look-a-like packing, they’re often lacking when it comes to the contents.
“In fact, some of the best dupes look nothing like the luxury product they’re a dead-ringer for – and, trust me, they’re the ones you want.”
REAL: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, £32.50 DUPE: Natural Collection Bronzer, £3.50 which is a saving of £29. The Natural Collection Bronzer comes in more shades, although it doesn’t have a mirror in the compact.
REAL: Milk Make-up Hydro-Grip Primer, £35 DUPE: E.l.f. Power Grip Primer, £10. These two share a similar green hue, as well as the same long-wearing, mattifying properties – although, E.l.f’s is so popular it’s just as hard to get hold of.
REAL: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick, £28 DUPE: L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Satin Lipstick Beige A Nu, £8.99. The shades of these two lipsticks are virtually identical on the lips, although while Charlotte Tilbury’s is matte, the L’Oreal Paris Lipstick has a satin finish – which actually makes it more comfortable if you’re wearing all day.
REAL: Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation, £40 DUPE: Collection Lasting Perfection Matte Foundation, £6.99. While they don’t look alike from the outside, the formula, consistency and staying power of both foundations is pretty similar – unfortunately, the Collection only comes in 20 shades vs Estee Lauder’s 60 options.
REAL: Glossier Boy Brow, £20 DUPE: Essence Make Me Brow Gel, £2.50. There’s a whole Reddit thread dedicated to this dupe, so you know it’s got to be good. They both have a waxy consistency and added fibres to make brows look fuller. I have to say, the shade range is far better with Boy Brow, but if you’re brunette, there’s plenty of Essence shade options to try.
Shoppers shared their experiences with the buy in the Boots review section.
“It is great. Nourishing, softening, soothing great overnight mask at amazing price,” wrote one customer.
“Brought this Sleep Lip Mask though I didn’t have high hopes, but I’ve loved it,” said another person.
“I thought I’d give it a go as the price tag looked good, my lips are super soft and hydrated.
“I found it was better than the Laneige Lip Mask – definitely buy it again.”

“This lip balm is actually better than the Laneige one!” agreed a third customer.
“It smells like bubblegum, but not overpowering.
“I use it in the morning and night, and it keeps my lips moisturised all day/night without any need to top up in between.
“Lips feel soft and hydrated in the morning, it’s not greasy or very sticky on the lips either.
“Comes with a cute spatula too. Definitely get this, you won’t regret it for £4.50!”
