I was intrigued by the hype surrounding baby lips - I mean all lip balm sticks are pretty much the same right? (Except Hurraw - oh my, now THAT is a lip balm worthy of hyperbole.)
The packaging is cute - bright, girly and unmissable. But essentially the same as any other chapstick - round, cap lid etc.
The range of 'flavours' are pretty standard, fruity and fresh - nothing sounds off-putting. I chose mentholated mainly because I was curious if it would be an alternative to Carmex
The menthol scent is strong and it does have a refreshing cooling sensation on your lips. For some reason I never associate menthol with moisturising, but my lips felt instantly smooth. Consistency wise the product is not 'bitty' like other cheap lip balms but it doesn't feel as creamy as some more high-end lip balms do.
I don't believe the product lasted 8 hours - I use lip balm through the day (I have pots and sticks everywhere!) and I felt I had to reapply this more than I would my Hurraw, to keep that soft feeling.
So to sum up - I still don't really understand the hype around the product. I think the brand, packaging, price and wide availability are more appealing than the actual product to be honest. There are better lip balms out there, even in this price range.(Sierra Bees for example)
This is a recipe for smooth soft lips. I use the tinted version of this and I absolutely love it. Such deep soft application. reason why I love the tinted version is because it provides some colour on the lip of ya not feeling like a lipstick. Such a high quality lip balm for a drug store lip balm. It took me a while to get on the bandwagon for these but I'm glad i did.
I love the packaging font and colours use a cool. These are so affordable i picked mine up from Kmart for like $5.00. I would recommend these especially the tinted ones because they are so versatile can be used as a light lip colour with out having ti use a lip stick as well as a nice moisturising lip balm.
