Maybelline Baby Lips Review

Recently in the UK, Maybelline New York released there range of baby lips! Being me I instantly knew I needed them and the first chance I got I grabbed the whole lot (expensive? yes, but it was an impulse buy) and rushed home to test them out.. Before I go into the review this is just a little disclaimer that all opinions are my own and just because I have said something it doesn't mean you should or shouldn't get the product, having said that lets get on with the review! ;D

The baby lips available in the UK. Each selling for £2.99 at Boots and Superdrug

Baby Lips have come to the UK with a storm but are they worth all the hype? For some of them, in my opinion, its a no. They claim to have SPF 20 and last up to 8 hours of hydration however its more like 2. And I was hoping for a stronger smell and taste, for example with Mint Fresh you would expect to get a nice strong smell of mint (probably a bit like chewing gum) but its a very faint smell (which is probably a bonus for some people but I enjoy a strong smelling lip balm) and you cannot taste it at all. Having said that though, they do have a very nice texture and don't feel sticky or thick on your lips and I have noticed that my lips haven't cracked or felt rough since applying these regularly. 

Cherry Me, Mint Fresh and Pink Punch

One of the main things that makes this product so appealing is the cute packaging it might not be for everyone but the childish colours and writing is lush to me. My personal favorite is Pink Punch which has a very bright vibrant colour on my lips and stays on for most of the day without me needing to top up. They all glide on the lip with ease and leave a nice shine and you get a decent amount of the lip balm in each tube which was a nice surprise.

Mint fresh
