I used to use these a lot as a young high school student because they were cheap, affordable and did the trick. But I think now there are a variety or lip balms that heal dry lips and well as heal and sanitize lips for a low cost. As far as these go, they do what they claim and are a great to carry around everywhere in my purse .
Would I use them again? Maybe, if I really needed some and my spare change was off the slightly more expensive ones.
Why do I not prefer them? Because I look for lip balms that cure lip dryness instead of a temporary moisturizer for the lips, especially in winter. I would use these in summer, they would be just what I need. I also look for overnight lip balms and this doesn't last for that long
Having been tired of chapped lips throughout Summer and Winter- and not to forget the seasons in between- I decided to give Maybelline Baby Lips a try.
As a first impression, the packaging really appealed to me. Afterall a girl surely loves bright, floral colours! Although the colours don't help the product look luxurious or anything. But that stays true to a great drugstore brand.
Upon opening, the texture didn't seem like other lip balms. It was more oil based rather than balm based. This showes upon application as it gives a nice gloss which you can wear by itself or over lipstick to give it a hydration boost!
The scent isn't too bad- although it doesn't smell too much according to the flavour on the packaging. However, the smell isn't too overpowering as it wears off quickly after applying.
Over an above I must say that this gave me a good hydration boost for about a few hours after apply- but need to reapply after eating/drinking.
This is now definitely an addition to my 'natural' makeup look as it gives me soft lips which a nice sheen.
No more chapped lips while wearing this so would really like to try more flavours and ones with colours!
Tips: Wear over lipstick to give a nice hydrating sheen and great to wear with a natural makeup look. Just apply some bronzer over lips with this on top to give a nice natural even lip tone.
