REVIEW: Maybelline Baby Lips


 Today, I'm going to do a review on the Maybelline Baby Lips as they are one of the very popular products Maybelline have brought out, and also one of mine! So, before I get started, I'm going to talk just a little about the history of those awesomeness in the tube!

Maybelline Baby Lips were first launched in Japan 2010 and were soon brought into the US as they were super well loved by the beauty lovers. However, there were no plans for them to come into the UK until the drugstores here in the UK have realised how eager people want them to come here, and how popular they really are. As a result of this, they were finally launched in the UK in August 2013, which is actually not very long ago, and personally, I'm extremely glad that they were brought into here.

First of all, they are priced at £2.99 at drugstores which is very affordable but you can get them for a cheaper price at places like ASDA if you live in the UK.
Packaging wise, they're very satisfying and very adorable! They've cooperated the colour really well to fit with the names of the lips balms and to contrast the logo with the background. This then have definitely made them to attract the buyers's attention like how they attracted me, and also made them to stand out from the crowd.




The formula is great. It's really easy to apply just like any other lip balms. You can glide them on ever so smoothly to moisturise and give a lovely layer of colour. They are claimed to give your lips intense care & 8hr hydration, conditioning care for lips that feel baby soft. However, as I've used them for a very long time, I can honestly say that they sadly do not last up to 8 hours, from my experiences, they only last up to maximum 1 hour. But, you can always bring them in your bag or your pocket and apply them for however many times you wish during the day!


They come in 6 different ranges, 3 of them are Hydrate, Repair, Mint Fresh which are clear lip balms containing SPF 20 to give your lips protections, and the other 3 are Cherry me, Peach Kiss and Pink Punch which are tinted lip balms. The colours and the range are definitely very limited here in the UK compare to the ones they bring out in the US. The colours I own Peach Kiss and Cherry Me.



Peach Kiss is a nude colour with a slight shimmer faintly going through it, which adds a very natural colour to your lips, but giving you a beautiful shine at the same time. I think it's my perfect colour to wear on a lazy day or just a simple day out. Furthermore, one of my favourite things about them is that they all contain an incredible fruity scent in them. The scent are exactly how the name describes it as. For example, Peach Kiss smells so delicious just like a peach in a tube!



Cherry Me is a sheer rosey/plum colour which definitely allows you to build up to more opacity. It does not only add a sheer layer of this gorgeous rose colour to your lips, which I think will look incredible to wear all year around, but it also keep your lips moisturised. Plus, this lip balm smells wonderful like a cherry and I could not stop smelling it!


Regardless of its lack of lasting and consistency, I still love them so much due to their awesome formula and the incredible colours! So, I give the Maybelline Baby Lips a overall 8/10.
