Maybelline Baby Lips Review

Do you want baby soft lips?

So I wanted to try Maybelline's Baby Lips lip balm as I have heard all the hype on blogs and YouTube and needed to test them out for myself.

Maybelline offers six Baby Lips lip balms in total, three of which are coloured (Pink Punch, Cherry Me, Peach Kiss) and three colourless ones (Hydrate, Repair, Mint Fresh). They all claim to be moisturising and provide 8 hours of hydration. However, I decided to pick up two first, just in case I did not like them, so opted for two of the 'coloured balms' as I would rather have a subtle hint of colour on my lips instead of none. I chose 'Cherry Me' and 'Pink Punch'.

LEFT: 'Cherry Me' RIGHT: 'Pink Punch'

Packaging
I love the use of bold, bright, eye-catching colours which makes it easy to spot them from other products. I also like the clever font that Maybelline chose to put on their lip balms, and across their whole 'Baby' range, as it is does have a childlike essence.

Price
The average cost for one Baby Lips lip balm is £2.99 a bit pricey for a lip balm but that is now the going cost :(

Swatches

LEFT: 'Pink Punch' RIGHT: 'Cherry Me'

I love the shimmery look of 'Pink Punch' as well as the soft baby pink colour. 'Cherry Me' has no shimmer in it but provides a lovely red tint to the lips even after just one application.

Pros

something for everyone e.g. if you want a coloured lip balm or just a colourless one
hydrating and moisturising, perfect for Winter
cute packaging and design

Cons

Price- £2.99 (only thing I could think of)

End thoughts

Overall I am very impressed by the two lip balms as they are very moisturising and pigmented. Both can be applied sheer and will still give a hint of colour. I am very tempted to collect them all!

Let me know if you have tried any of the Baby Lips lip balms and what you think of them!

Both available online.

Determine your skin's undertone

Determining your skin's undertone is not as difficult as you might think. When you know what your skin's undertone is, it becomes so easy to pick up the right shade of foundation as well as knowing which lipstick shades/tones will compliment your more. You will be much better off knowing your undertone. The three types of skin undertones are cool, warm and neutral. There are many different ways that can be used to determine your undertone. I have found that the most effective way of determining your skin's u ndertone is by looking at the colour of your veins on the inside of your wrists. This post will show you how to find out which undertone you have! Cool undertones Your wrist veins appear blue/purple in natural lighting You can burn easily in the sun Colours that flatter you are: red, navy blue, hot pink, plums, black and soft pastel colours If you have a cool undertone your skin will have more of a 'pinkish or blue' tone to it. Think Emma Stone,

L'Oreal Colour Riche 373 Magnetic Coral Lipstick Review

I went out shopping the other day and I was casually browsing the makeup aisles and I came across this lipstick. I used the tester to swatch and I was blown away by both the colour and it's creamy texture. I absouletly love the colour of this lipstick, which is a beautiful coral shade and is very pigmented. The packaging is sleek and modern, and the use of the gold exterior gives this lipstick a high-end feel. This lipstick is very moisturising and glides on so easy without clinging to the slightly dry parts of my lips. I am not surprised that this lipstick is so moisturising as L'Oreal state that all the lipsticks in their Colour Riche selection are 'enriched with a combination of Omega-3 and Vitamin E and leaves your lips feeling moisturised'.

Coca Cola Cherry Lip Smacker Review

Amazing smell! Since secondary school (I'm now 21) I have been using my trusted Coco Cola Cherry Lip Balm! I honestly don't know where I would be without it! It used to be £1 at Primark (I stocked up!) now I can never seem to find it there, which is a shame. However, it can be found in Tesco but at £2.50. Why I love this lip balm? it has a red hint of colour it is hydrating, especially in the Winter months it also has the most amazing cherry smell, which does in fact smell like Coco Cola Cherry! Although it doesn't taste like it though! (Don't worry, I don't go round eating lip balms!). Swatch Coco Cola Cherry Lip Smacker- single swatch If you can get your hands on this get it! You will not be disappointed, let me know if you do. I would love to hear if you love this as much as I do! Available online in a set of 6 (including other 'flavours') for £9.99!
