Review: Maybelline Baby Lips
It's Winter now, and as you know, my lips get chapped so easily :(
Many of my friends recommended have recommended the Baby Lips lip balm.
I think the flavours are different in the USA when compared to other countries. The USA is also lucky enough to have Baby Lips which also double as lip tints!
The flavours available in where I live were: Menthol, Energizing Orange, Antioxidant Berry, Mango Pie and Smoothing Cherry
After a week of indecisiveness (and sadly, research..), I went with Smoothing Cherry!
Here is my review of the product, feel free to ask questions!
Price: It was pretty affordable. I got it on sale for $3.21, it's usually $4 something I think.
Packaging: I love, love, LOVE the packaging - especially on the Smoothing Cherry flavour. It's bright, aesthetically pleasing and portable.
Smell: It smells nice and not over powering. Before buying it, I was worried about it smelling like those gross maraschino cherries on cakes. I'm pretty sure that majority of the Baby Lip's flavours smell good, as other friends have different ones.
Taste: This is definitely not a lip balm that tastes like what it smells! The first time I used it, I thought the taste was horrid. It tasted like soap. But now that I have gotten used to it, it isn't as bad... but it's still not that pleasant. I recommend using it away from the inner portions of your lip, if you don't wish to accidentally taste it. But I guess that not-so-pleasant taste stops you from licking it off??
Product: It goes on really smoothly without being sticky or overly glossy. It doesn't add a weird white colour to my lips either, which is nice. It moisturizes your lips very well, mine are way less chapped and feel softer as well. I usually just re apply it whenever my lips feel dry, and normally that's after a few hours or so.
Overall/TLDR: It's a good product, does what you expect it to do - at an affordable price. Smells nice, looks nice, works well, lasts okay but doesn't taste good!
Would I recommend this to others?: Yes, it's great for anyone that is looking for an affordable lip balm that works pretty well.
Have you tried Baby Lips before? What did you think of it? Do you have a favourite flavour?
