Winter in Chicago is the season of dry, cracked lips, amiright?! I constantly apply lip balm, but it’s no match for the heating systems indoors or the cold winter wind outside. Y’all know that I love my red lipstick, and when my lips are this dry, it never goes on smoothly and seeps into the fine lines around my lips. I NEED a solution! So I turned to Patchology, who has a product called Lip Renewal FlashPatch® 5 Minute Hydrogels that are supposed to help with my dry lip problem. Here’s how the Patchology FlashPatch worked >>

Patchology Lip Renewal FlashPatch 5 Minute Hydrogels Review

I’ve used other Patchology products before – mostly for my under eye bags. So I was a fan of the brand, but had never tried the lip patches. When I opened, I loved that they were lip shaped and pink!

Use the little wand to get one patch and apply it to your clean lips. It felt so refreshing and cool!

They were a little slippery and it was a little hard to keep my lips closed for 5 minutes, but the patches have a little slit in the middle to allow you to open your lips slightly and breathe!

After waiting 5 minutes, I removed the patch and rubbed the rest of the liquid into my lips. I didn’t feel an immediate difference – although my lips felt hydrated and refreshed. But I noticed the real magic the next day when I went to line my lips with my red lip liner! It went on SO smoothly and didn’t settle into the little lines around my lips like usual. My lipstick also went on smoothly and lasted for hours. I use a red matte lipstick and it can dry out my lips – especially in the winter. But I didn’t have a problem at all the day after I used the patch!

I can honestly give the Patchology FlashPatch® 5 Minute Hydrogels my seal of approval!
