Maybelline Balm and Blush Review

I picked this up at a sale thought I would give it a try . I enjoy balms especially for in my car . I get dry lips a lot.

Packaging is cute and playful clear can see through it . I got a nude coloured shade . Scent is sweet. Consistency is smooth balm with a slight shimmer. I put this on my cheeks it remind me of a shimmer highlighter with tint . It does wear off because of this balm effect .

Overall it wasn’t that good as a blusher. But as a balm it’s really good . I expect it to wear off over time . It will last a long time several months. It is priced fairly.

I purchased this from Farmers on sale, the packaging is unusual, a little plastic pot with a screw top lid which contains the product. It's a bit fiddly to open and the bright pink plastic lid is hard to hold on to. I got the flirty pink shade, it goes onto lips easily and is hydrating. I would not use as a blusher, too sticky. Because of the funny round bubble shape I would not repurchase. Probably ok as a stocking filler for Christmas though.

I really like this product as a lip balm... not so keen on it as a bluish though! I think the idea is cool but i just am not into a cream blush. The pigment is good, the colour is noticeable on my lips and it makes my lips feel really nice. I also think the packaging is very cute and pleasing to the eye.

This is such a strange multipurpose lip balm. You can also use it as a blush but I personally don't. When its on the lips you can see the pigment and it transfers onto your teeth and looks yuck. The pigment actually feels slightly grainy on your lips if you rub them together but it's not that noticeable. The packaging is cute but problematic as when you go to twist the cute little cap back on the product scrapes against the side arghhhh. Overall I think this is a great product for girls just trying out makeup and finding the right lip balm. I think younger girls will enjoy this packaging and not mind the pigment issue.

I love the idea of multipurpose makeup, however wad disappointed with this and probably wouldn't buy again. The small container is cute, but there's no way of winding up the bubble so what's left you'd need to scoop out. The colour is sheer and and applied to lips was great as a balm but the physicality of applying as its really chubby compared to a regular balm stick wasn't so enjoyable. I've only attempted once on my cheeks and that was on top of my foundation. My experience was of tacky lip balm on my cheeks that make my foundation slide when I tried to blend. Needless to say it's been put in my handbag for sole lip balm duties!
