Even Kong and Thomas Couldn’t Sell Me the Laneige Bubble Tea Collection

Laneige Matcha and Taro Bubble Tea Lip Sleeping Masks are two new, limited-edition drops that are part of the Laneige Bubble Tea Collection. Considering we haven’t gotten a new Laneige seasonal flavor since the Holidays there’s a good chance we’ll see these launching in the USA very shortly perhaps late Summer but for now we have a Peach Iced Tea and Grapefruit flavor for Spring 2025. I’m actually a big Bubble Tea drinker and you’d think I’d be excited about these but even Kong and Thomas couldn’t see me a new Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.

The two of them, sitting on a bed, sharing a pot of Laneige Pink Lemonade Swirl Lip Sleeping Mask are my shipped dreams come true but it’s not tempting me enough to haul another flavor of Laneige Lip Mask not even if it’s Bubble Tea flavored.

I really hate to say this but I really don’t need another pot of Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. Some side of me is like, damn, these sound so good and another part of me is like you have fifty of them you don’t more. Just this once I’m going to listen to my logical side and not buy these if they launch state side. Listen, Laneige, did some kind of wonderful with that Glaze Craze Tinted Polypeptide Lip Serum launch. If you haven’t tried that formula I strongly urge you to give it a try. It’s amazing. But as for another sleeping lip mask? I just don’t need it. Growing up and being mature is saying no to a product you already have like ten pots of.

I think the formula on the mask is one you either really love or you’re not into. I’ve been into them for a spell. I actually really like what they do for my lips but I understand some people find them not moisturizing enough or are occasionally disappointed with the lighter flavor and fragrance. That’s actually another reason I can probably say no as the flavor is really never strong. It’s typically very light and barely there at all. You can see that as either a good thing or a bad one. I know a lot of people don’t love fragranced lip products and maybe appreciate the flavor is lighter here. Where as others, might feel disappointed that it isn’t as flavored and fragranced as they hoped. So,

So, it comes down to something like this. Years ago, Fresh was releasing a new Sugar Lip Balm ever five seconds and I was purchasing every one of their drops. Remember those days? They were fun but I got tired of them after a while because not only were they sheer but I had a ton of them and it was utterly wasteful to continue to buy a new shade every season. The moral of the story is I’m starting to feel the same about Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Masks. I love the formula but I have a ton of pots and don’t really need more. So, I’m going to an adult about this and say that if the Bubble Tea Lip Sleeping Mask makes it out of Asia and into the US market I’ll be safely skipping both.

How about you? Buying or skipping?
