South Korean beauty giant Amorepacific is bringing two of our faves together: BTS and Laneige. Want to keep your lips hydrated, smooth, and plump? The new limited Lip & Pop Edition of Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask is a three-piece set that will do the trick with yummy scents inspired by BTS’ hits.
The lip masks come in the buttered popcorn-inspired Butter, the peach iced tea-flavored Permission to Dance, and the sweet candy-scented Dynamite. Placed in a box with a turntable design are jars nodding to BTS’ single album jackets. Its packaging makes it a cute collectible at P1,499.
