The ever changing weather has wreaked havoc with my lips, as I am suffering with sore chapped lips on a regular basis – no thanks to the office air-con either.
Having tried numerous lip balms, glosses and scrubs, there is one lipcare item high on my radar after causing a storm on social media – Boots Berry Lip Mask.
The Berry Lip Mask retails for a purse-friendly £4.50, but the price is not the only reason it has been popular. While it promises to nourish and rehydrate dry and cracked lips, shoppers have also drawn comparison to Laneige's bestselling Lip Sleeping Mask that costs £21.
The Boots Berry Lip Mask 20g offers deep hydration thanks to the nourishing blend of coconut oil and shea butter.Not only does it hydrate the skin, but it soothes too. Apply at night and slip in the product and wake up to luscious lips in the morning. BUY NOW FOR £4.50
Boots Berry Lip Mask has been formulated with ultra hydrating ingredients, including coconut oil and shea butter, which not only hydrate dry lips, but soothe any cuts and cracks too.
This lip product is also similar to Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask not only because of their functions, but the accessories that accompany the purchase. Both lip masks come with a dinky applicator to help apply directly to your lips, and keep the product clean from dirty fingers, which can be a breeding ground for germs you then apply to your mouth.
Similar to Laneige's hero lip product, the Boots' Berry Lip Mask works like a face mask in a sense it is to be applied at night, left to work its magic overnight and leave your lips silky smooth and nourished in the morning.
Of course you can apply in the daytime too for an extra boost of hydration, especially for those with dry lips. I also wear mine over a lip liner when I want to achieve a no make-up make-up look as the formula is longlasting.
While it is berry scented, and looks like a soft blush pink, the formula is actually clear when it is applied to the lips.
Boots has scored five star ratings for this affordable make-up and skincare hybrid.
One happy shopper gushed: 'It is great. Nourishing, softening, soothing great overnight mask at amazing price.' More Trending
A separate customer added: 'Brought this Sleep Lip Mask though I didn't have high hopes, but I've loved it. 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.'
A third praised: 'This lip balm is actually better than the Laneige one! 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!'
The Boots Berry Lip Mask is under £5, which is already a bargain buy and is a huge saving in comparison to the premium Laneige creation. But, what if we told you you could save more?
Boots currently has an offer on this product, which allows shoppers to buy one lipcare item and get the second half price – so two Lip Masks for £6.75 instead of £9, yes please!

Jeremy Clarkson shares symptoms that led to 'days from death' diagnosis
Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he was 'days from death' after a terrifying health scare. Writing in his Sunday Times column, the 64-year-old broadcaster detailed a string of sudden and severe symptoms that began during a holiday – signs he initially brushed off but which ultimately led to an ambulance ride, surgery, and a life-saving stent. It all began, he says, with an ill-fated attempt to dive from a boat while on holiday. Mid-air, Clarkson second-guessed his abilities and tried to convert the dive into a jump, resulting in what he described as 'an almighty belly flop that caused pain 'you measure in acres.' But more concerning was what followed: struggling to swim a short distance and arriving at the beach 'mostly dead.' 'I've never struggled with swimming before, and now, suddenly, I can't do it any more,' he wrote. Back on dry land, he found he could barely manage stairs without support. 'There's just no sense that my knees can handle the pressure,' he admitted, fearing he was heading toward 'a tumble.' Once home, Clarkson's condition deteriorated further. He woke up one morning feeling 'clammy' with a tight chest, but ignored the signs and carried on with his day. It was only after noticing pins and needles in his left arm that he decided to take action, and an ambulance was called. Clarkson was rushed to hospital where he was told one artery was completely blocked and another was nearly closed. 'Days away? 'Maybe,' the doctor told him when asked how close he was to catastrophe. He underwent an angioplasty, which involved inserting a wire through his wrist to explore the damage in his arteries. More Trending 'It's weird, lying there and feeling a metal pipe with a camera on the end wiggling its way round your shoulder and through your chest,' he wrote. Fortunately, surgeons were able to avoid a full heart bypass and instead fitted a stent to keep the artery open. Though he described the two-hour operation as 'not especially painful, just odd,' he made it clear just how close he came to disaster. Now, safely back home and recovering, Clarkson is using his brush with death to try to implement a healthier lifestyle. Got a story?

Perrie Edwards took extreme lengths in desperate bid to manage panic attacks
Little Mix's Perrie Edwards has opened up about seeking support from therapists to help deal with her mental health, after candidly speaking about panick attacks and anxiety Singer-songwriter Perrie Edwards has opened up about seeking support from therapists to help her deal with panic attacks. The Little Mix member spoke about her experience amid the news that she has taken on a new role. Perrie, 31, has spoken candidly about experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, with her having raised awareness around mental health over the years. The BRIT Award winner has also previously discussed her experience with agoraphobia. The X Factor winner has previously revealed that she "never" on her own due to her fear of having a fatal panic attack. She's shared that her symptoms of panic attacks include eyesight issues and eventually difficulty breathing. She has now spoken further about her experience, including sharing her thoughts on therapy. Perrie's latest comments come amid the news that that she is now a celebrity ambassador for the mental health charity Mind. Whilst speaking to Metro over the news, Perrie gave an update on her own mental health. She told the outlet that she is "trying to be at peace" with her anxiety and its physical symptoms, rather than fearing potential panic attacks. She added that she has "tried everything," sharing that she has tried "all different kinds" of therapy. Perrie then gave an insight into some of her experiences with therapists, including revealing that she has taken a therapist to work with her. The singer shared with the outlet that therapists have tried to coach her on strategies for dealing with panic attacks in the past. She however suggested that "everything goes out the window" when she actually experiences one. Perrie shared: "Last year, maybe in September, I started to take my therapist to work with me, which I know is a very privileged situation." She added in the interview that she's aware that many people don't even have a therapist. She said that she wanted to "make the most of it" though. Perrie explained that she decided to take her therapist to work with her each day and get them to coach her through any panic attack "there and then" in the moment itself. Sharing her thoughts on the decision, Perrie told the outlet in the interview, which was published earlier today: "It's the best thing I've ever done." She went on to add that she now wishes that she had done it sooner. Perrie's comments come just weeks after she was seen discussing her experience with panic attacks on the Alison Hammond's Big Weekend. She was the guest for the first episode of the BBC show, which was released last month. Speaking to host Alison Hammond, she said: "I've developed panic disorder, so it's the fear of having a panic attack." She explained that she developed that fear after she started suffering from "severe" panic attacks a few years ago. Perrie shared: "So I was like if I'm on my own and I have a panic attack I might die and nobody will be here to help." Providing an insight into the impact that has on her life, she went on to say: "So that's why I'm never on my own." Later in the episode, she told Alison that her first panic attack occurred after she had an over-the-counter caffeine shot during a trip to Las Vegas with her bandmates from Little Mix some years ago. Perrie said: "I honestly thought I was having a heart attack from whatever was in [it]." She recalled "pacing" around her room and having panic attacks, sharing that she ended up in hospital. Perrie added: "After that incident I just kept having them like again and again." She suggested that the experience had been a "trigger" and said her anxiety was then "through the roof". Asked about the signs of a panic attack, she said: "My arms go limp. My legs go limp. And then my eyesight starts to go. And then I can't see anything. And then my heart starts racing and then I just can't breathe. And I just feel like I'm gonna die so I start freaking out."

9 of the best new anti-ageing face sunscreens for all skin types, tested by beauty experts
Most of us are aware we should be applying sunscreen year-round, even when it's grey and cloudy outside. It's well known that an SPF can block sunburns and prevent skin cancer, but many dermatologists agree that it's also the best skincare product for slowing signs of ageing, such as hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. Which is exactly why we should all get into the habit of wearing sunscreen every day (if you aren't already doing so). The key to consistency is finding a face sunscreen that you love. To make that search a little easier for you, we at YOU magazine have been testing a bunch of new SPFs (some even on holiday). So, scroll down for nine of the very best face sunscreens you can buy for summer, reviewed by the YOU team. £25 Shop Who tested it? Rosie Green, beauty editor Skin type? Rosacea prone Age? 51 Why we love it? I've finally found sunscreen nirvana and it comes in the form of La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAir SPF 50+. Why is it so good? Well, it feels weightless on the skin. Sinks in quickly. Leaves no white cast. It smells heavenly (fresh, but not overly scented). And it doesn't make my skin feel greasy or trigger my rosacea, just lightly hydrates. It feels like a pleasure not a chore. Frankly, it's a skincare miracle. Laneige Hydro UV Defense EX SPF 50 £26 Shop Who tested it? Charlotte Vossen, deputy digital editor Skin type? Sensitive Age? 29 Why we love it? There are four things I look for in a face SPF; it needs to be fragrance-free, hydrating, offer broad spectrum protection and have an SPF rating of 50 or higher, and deliver a dewy finish without looking greasy. I had high hopes for this as I'm obsessed with Korean sunscreens, and while it does deliver on three of the four – it's lightweight yet hydrating, offers SPF 50+, and gives the skin a fresh glow – it does contain fragrance. £31 Shop Who tested it? Jessica Carroll, junior style editor Skin type? Combination Age? 28 Why we love it? I loved trying out the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow SPF 30. It's a really light consistency which is great as it meant it absorbed really quickly and didn't require much rubbing for the white cream to disappear into my skin. I like to wear makeup over my SPF and this didn't make my makeup pile or slip off. It also has a really nice watermelon smell which might put some people off but I loved it. The only thing I would change would be to make it a SPF 50 as I like as much protection as possible with my SPF. £20 Shop Who tested it? Lila Flint-Roberts, senior bookings editor Skin type? Sensitive Age? 30 Why we love it? It's very lightweight, absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a white cast and is actually quite glowy, like a primer. It's not scented but has a slight tang owing to the vitamin C. I reapplied every hour while I was on holiday in Tuscany and it built quite nicely – didn't go too claggy or flakey! At £20 it's also affordable, so I'd definitely repurchase. The Organic Pharmacy Daily Mineral SPF 30 UV Protection £45 Shop Who tested it? Marion Jones, sub editor Skin type? Sensitive and dry Age? 62 Why we love it? Its holiday feel isn't quite what I want in the city - although the scent disappears as soon as it's smoothed on – and application is serviceable rather than luxuriant. But then, heaven, it has an invisible matt finish and, though just SPF 30, its mineral filters and botanicals prevent the usual pink hue my pale skin develops at the first hint of sun. I always prefer eco products and this one is impressive. Rituals The Ritual of Namaste Daily Moisturiser SPF 50 £40 Shop Who tested it? Sophie Hines, digital and lifestyle editor Skin type? Normal Age? 37 Why we love it? I didn't actually realise that Rituals do SPFs – I associate the brand more with bath and body products – but I really liked this product. It's great to see such a high factor SPF combined with a moisturiser, as many of the moisturisers I've tried before are closer to SPF 15 than 50. It feels light but nourishing on the skin, and goes well under make-up without making my face all shiny (a personal hate!). I think it would be hard for this to tear me away from La Roche-Posay SPF, especially with a £40 price tag, but I certainly think it's a good all-rounder. Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 30 £32 Shop Who tested it? Scarlett Dargan, features writer Skin type? Combination Age? 26 Why we love it? I was initially a bit worried because I often find new products (in particular, new SPFs) clog up my pores and cause me to break out. But I honestly cannot recommend this product enough. It's so velvety to apply, soaks in instantly, feels weightless when on and layers perfectly under make-up. The grippy primer claims on the packet are definitely true! I struggle with an oily T-zone when I'm on holiday but this didn't cause any greasiness, made my pores look smoother, and meant I didn't burn, at all, during my trip to Turkey (and I'm ginger, so that's impressive). I'll definitely be using this from now on. £77 Shop Who tested it? Natasha Tomalin-Hall, creative director Skin type? Sensitive Age? 37 Why we love it? Having sensitive skin means I have to be really careful with SPF as it can quickly cause upset and breakouts. This formula was really gentle and caused no stress to my skin whatsoever. The smell was neutral and the texture quite light. On application the product took a little time to absorb and went on quite white initially, but once absorbed it wasn't greasy and almost totally disappeared. It cost a little more than I would usually spend on SPF but worth it for the feel and efficacy. I would buy it again. £50 Shop Who tested it? Sophie Dearden-Howell, fashion director Skin type? Combination Age? 34 Why we love it? This SPF serum has a shimmer and tint that looks quite dark when you first apply it, but as you rub it in, it adds a healthy glow. It's on the thicker side, so I'd wait a minute and let it absorb in the skin before applying make-up, but it does make for a really gorgeous base. Plus, I love the packaging – it's super easy to use and you don't have to worry about it exploding in your wash bag.
