A lovely friend sent me a care package full of wonder purple things including Electro-pop! and whilst I had heard about Babylips I have never tried them before.
Well let me just say WOW! I have used balms in the past and to be completely honest I thought I had the best thing ever and wouldn't find anything else that would do as good a job... until NOW.
First application and already I feel my lips feeling buttery and silky... ultra kissable (hubby certainly enjoyed a few smooches), now every time I apply it he comes in for a peck (honestly I think he is just trying to steal my balm lol).
So the texture is soft, buttery melt on lips, the scent and taste... sweet berries. It is a sheer tint so not in your face bright but just a nice pop to bare lips.
It isn't sticky or tacky. It actually feels like it is plumping up/smoothing my lips every-time I wear it... just through sheer hydration. A nice sheen on the lips not overly glossy and still wearable under lipstick (I would blot first though).
I can see an addiction forming
As a fan of the original baby lips, i was always tempted when i saw this range come out, and i had heard they had nice pigmentation for a lip balm, but i had so many lip balms so couldn't justify buying yet another one.
It wasn't till maybe a year after these were released that i picked on up at a big bucket sale, just because they were near the counter as i was leaving and i got sucked in. Damn marketing skills.
Any who, the packaging itself it actually quite bulky for a lip balm. I mean its not that much bigger than the normal lip balm, but it just feels bulkier for some reason. Its made of plastic, and feels quite sturdy with bright packaging which makes it a bit of fun.
The lipbalm gives my lips a nice subtle tint, which i really like, especially for those days when i just want a low maintenance look. I don't find it ultra hydrating or anything, and i don't find any long-term relief from using this lip product, but it doesn't dry out my lips or anything, and does provide short term hydration so that's nice.
Overall an okay lip-balm but no need to go rush out and by it because its nothing amazing.
