Maybelline Baby Lips Review

After reading lots of good reviews for Baby Lips I bought 3 of the range. They are exactly a tinted lip balm, but not all the rest that people rave about.

I like that it's a light formula, tastes nice, and the darker balms do show on my lips.

I don't like that it doesn't sink in, it sits on top so when I squeeze my lips together it smears the balm further out around the edge of my mouth. I tried them a few times and thought my lips were drier afterwards. The fact that they're $4 isn't a selling point as they don't work so well for me.

From now on I'll probably skip these and stick to my Nivea uncoloured balm and use my Revlon kissable balms when I want colour and moisture in a balm.

Packaging: love the packaging it is by far the most eye catching lip balm on the market in my opinion.

Product: comes in 6 different shades, available in most supermarkets, department store like Farmers. Reasonably priced for a drugstore lip balm. Slides up and down inside the Bullet with ease with a twist up style bullet. The balm itself is easy to apply. My lips are always thirsty so I find with this balm I am having to re-apply it more often so I don't find it lasts long for me at all. I love the smell of these balms but the taste to me is that typical balm taste. As I hate wasting product I use this as a primer for my lips before applying liquid lipstick and does well for that but to keep my lips nourished to wear alone is a no go for me.

I buy this when it is on special at the supermarket. I have a few different shades now. My favourite is cherry although the smell is a bit artificial.

The lip balm comes in cute, bright coloured tubes. They are very eye catching and certaintly distinguishably from other lip balms on the market.

The lip balm goes on smoothly and while it feels like its providing nourishment for your lips I keep finding I need to reapply this. Definitely not eight hours worth of wear as they claim.

I only use these in summer when my lips aren't as dry. My lips need more protection and moisturising in Winter then what baby lips can offer.

I do like using these when going for a casual look as they have a hint of colour and are prefect for keeping in the car or at work as they are cheap.

This was a fine product back in the days where chapstick ruled the roost, but I feel like now Hurraw and EOS have come out, it's not really anything special. It's average at best as a lip 'moisturizer' and does leave quite a bit of residue, that isn't ideal. I have the mint one which is nice and refreshing (without the normal minty tingle, if you don't like that sort of thing) and it's a good spare, but I probably wouldn't bother repurchasing. Especially because the name 'baby lips' is a little bit creepy...

This was on special at the supermarket so I thought I would try it out. It comes in a small cylindrical tube, cute bright colours. I purchased the mango pie flavour, a very pleasant and light fragrance. The product covers your lips very smoothly and was not too greasy. I didn't find that it moisturised my lips for a full 8 hours though as I found I needed to replenish my lips throughout the day. For the price I paid, I thought it was value for money. It's a pretty average product, nothing special about it.

As the title say they are pretty ok. Nothing less but nothing more. Makes ya lips soft and smells good, yeah thats about it.

I have the blue/pink anti-oxidant berry flavour. I bought it mid-winter during a spontaneous moment while waiting in a checkout queue and it has been in my handbag ever since. It is a solid creamy pink consistency but not waxy or greasy at all. A decent every-day lip balm, but nothing special overall.

Don't get me wrong, this lip balm is good. Smells good, feels good, there's nothing wrong with it. In saying that, I didn't find anything all too amazing about it either. My friends rave about it and how they can't live without it so maybe it's just me but personally it was the same as all the supermarket brands I found. It most certainly didn't keep my lips moisturized for 8 hours so I was irritated it had said it would. It was nice feeling on the lips so I would buy it again in a situation where I was travelling and had run out of my normal lip balm but I just didn't find it all too amazing. Fun packaging for people who like to buy full collections of lip balms as a lot of my friends do. Nice product over all but most certainly "basic"
