Have you ever tried a gel mask for your mouth?

I’ll be honest… I’m not really in the mood to work today. That’s why I’m sitting here with a pout-shaped mask on my lips right now—but Patchology’s MoodPatch Keep Smiling Lip Gels are more than a means of procrastination.

Jam-packed with relaxing sweet violet and lavender, nourishing coconut extract and plumping hyaluronic acid, this aromatherapy-infused treat is soothing and hydrating my lips as we speak (and pushing me to cross today’s blog post off my to-do list).

Between the time it took to write this up and take a photo suitable for posting, my 10 minutes was up, and now I have a soft, pillowy pout. I also feel a renewed sense of calm that makes me totally OK with moving from my desk to my cozy office seating area, putting my feet up and catching up on my magazines before it’s time to pick up from school—which is far more than I expected to get out of playing with this fun (and effective) product. Thanks, Patchology!
