These are cheap and cheerful products that do a good job of moisturizing. I wouldn’t say they left my lips drenched with moisture but they also didn’t dry them out as some balmy products end up doing for me.
The scent/flavour I had was inoffensive and wouldn’t polarize a crowd, in fact I barely noticed it. They also aren’t a lip ‘colour’ per se so you’d need a lipstick or gloss overtop if you wanted impact.
All in all, for $5 you can’t really go wrong. I just wish maybelline would follow covergirl and go cruelty free.
I often purchase baby lips balm. It's no more than $, easy to apply and keeps my lips moist and feeling great for a long period of time. A good range if different flavours/scents
