Maybelline Baby Lips Review



On top: Pink Punch, on bottom: Peach Kiss

Hi all,
As you know, I went to Florida in April and did a crazy amount of shopping, most of it beauty related. I had been wanting to get my hands on the Maybelline Baby Lips for a while as people on YouTube had been raving about them, so I picked up Peach Kiss (30) and Pink Punch (25) for $3.99. I believe most pharmacies and places like ULTA sell these lipbalms and apparently they are due to hit the UK later on this year...

First and foremost, I thought the packaging was adorbs (I'm a big sucker for packaging) and as for the product itself, they certainly did make my lips seem baby soft for a while. They add a nice sheen of colour, so you could technically use the product as a 2-in-1 lipbalm and gloss. 

BUT, notice the 'a while'. I often find myself reapplying this product over and over again without significant improvements. I think they aren't designed to sink into the skin properly, merely to coat the lips with some sort of layer that eventually ends up making the lips drier than they should be. It's a shame, because I had quite high expectations of these lipbalms. Maybe some of you will enjoy them but I am particularly fussy about moisturising and don't think I will be purchasing the Baby Lips again. 

Even so, I'll have them around so that I can reach for them from time to time if I don't have any other lipbalms available. They would be cuter than they are now if the product was just right!
