Long before the days of MAC Lipsticks and Rimmel Apocalips, I was the girl who went giddy over a good Lip Balm. Back in the day (oh to be a carefree Year 8 again) you were the bees knees if you possessed the latest Nivea Lip Balm in your Groovy Chick pencil case (Does anyone else remember these?!) Nearly 10 years on (whaaa that makes me feel old) and I still cant help getting a little excited over the latest releases, and dont get me started on quirky packaging. Please tell me its acceptable to own a handful of EOS Lipbalms in several shades/flavours?! (After all variety is the spice of life right!)
Like most, I have coveted Maybelline Baby Lips for quite some time, so im sure you can imagine how thrilled I was to see not only one, but two of these beauties sitting pretty in the bottom of my swap package from the gorgeous Trina. I had high expectations after reading many a rave review, so I did fear that I would be left a little disappointed, however I am happy to report that its love.
Maybelline Baby Lips are super moisturising and buttery soft, without leaving the lips feeling greasy or sticky. To top it off they smell divine (Cherry Me has a lovely synthetic 'cherry smell' whereas Pink Punch is very fruity) and add a subtle hint of colour to the lips (please note my lip swatches seriously dont do these justice). I was seriously impressed with Pink Punch a wearable blue toned Barbie Pink. For a lip balm it seriously packs a punch (no pun intended).
Cherry Me is very much a pink shade as you can tell from the swatch above (somewhat deceiving when in the bullet its such a vivid red), although pigmented, it is very sheer once applied to lips. But leaves a subtle pop of colour nonetheless.
Now heres where I would normally let out a huge sigh, and state how these babys are only available in the US. However I am happy to tell you all that the much sought after Baby Lips will be touching down on British soil within the next month (about time too hey). Want to be one of the first to know when there released?! then sign up here!
Its safe to say that I have truly fallen for the Baby Lips hype, and with good reason. So I shall definitely be setting my alarm come August.
Have you tried Maybelline Baby Lips?!
