Maybelline Baby Lips Love Color Review

Sorry Maybelline, but you've lost me on this one. I was really eager to invest in a tinted balm to keep in my car for every day use on the go. Last minute coffee catch ups, appointments. Something to make me feel a wee bit pretty and glam that takes 2 seconds to apply. That's what I wanted. What I got was a total flop! Maybelline products have never really let me down in the past, in fact, their mascaras are often my faves. I'm only grateful that this lip balm cost me less than $5 from Kmart, otherwise I might've been spitting tacks so to speak. Lets start with the color - I purchased the red one, so I can't confirm whether the others are just as bad as this one. The color looked nice going on, it looked a lot more like an oily lipstick rather than a colored lip balm though. After about 20 minutes out of my car, the color was entirely gone. My lips were dry and not at all moisturized. The worst part was the taste. It was like wax. Slightly perfumed wax. Even after doing the finger trick when applying, I noticed some on my teeth a short period later. It was so waxy. End story, for me the baby lips is a solid no in basically every aspect. Other than affordability and convenience of purchasing almost anywhere. Pharmacies, supermarkets, the warehouse, kmart and farmers - I've seen it at all of these locations. My experience definitely hasn't put me off Maybelline products though, my very first mascara at 16 years old was the Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara and I still swear by it to this day. xxx

This tinted balm claims it can give you moisture for 8 hours but really that depends if you want to keep reapplying it. It does have a slight tint but I don't think it made a difference given that my lips are darker. It did give a hint of shine and kept them moisturized for an hour or two but really this is another case of you get what you pay for. I would've rather spent my money on a pack of basic lip balms and applied a bit of lipstick over that but since I have this I will use it up.

I picked this up on a race through of the warehouse. It had been out a while and I had seen it around previously.

Part of me was curious about the range but I had a feeling they would be sort of like a chapstick as that has the same tube style. Does it melt easily? is this why they picked that packaging rather than a lipstick style. The tube is still more cleaner than a little tub of balm with fingers going in repeatedly.

There is a slight scent to this, cherry or berry? It is also tinted lightly pink. This is what I may call a make up for the gym, rather than wear no makeup at the gym this is so you don't feel makeup naked. This is a cheaper version of the Chubby sticks Baby Tint from Clinique and substantially cheaper on the pocket.

I don't plan on buying this again unless they change the packaging as I like to show off my lipstick.

I have very chapt lips and cant use any lip balm. I liked the pacageing alot so i tryd it out. It smells nice and the price os right.

It gave my lips a slight tint not as much as i would like. Jist like any other lip balm woth fragrance and colour it chaped my lips even more. So of ypu jave sensetive lips like me this is probably not for you

The is a nice balm but doesn't wear long or moisturize long term, I find the originals better, but for those no makeup days or beginner makeup wearers, it is OK... was hoping for a bit more, like tht of the coloured maybelline balms I see from the US which every one likes and has nicer packging... this packaging is very old school

Unfortunately, I feel this product has gone downhill. Which is a shame. I always bought this Babylips for a natural lip stain. I have quite big lushes lips and now I feel this product clumps up and doesn't reach parts of my lips like it use to. I don't know if I can be convinced to buy anymore unfortunately.

I like lipglosses and balms a lot so love purchasing new ones especially at a good price. Plan and simple, this just doesn't cut it. It was pretty cheap though so was worth a try. Not particularly moisturizing on it lasted maybe an hour or so before it needed to be reappled. Smells great and has a nice hint of colour but I wouldn't repurchase in a hurry.

It’s so much fun to collect these wee tubes, they’re so eye-catching and colourful, with heaps of different colours/“flavours”. This specific one gives your lips a subtle glossy redness. I like to use it as the last step in my natural makeup look. Easy to pop in your purse and reapply as needed.

I am using Maybelline Baby Lips Love Color from quite some time and it is one of my handbag essential. I have it in baby pink color and it is good to use when I forget to apply lip balm in rush so I know I have one in my bag. Although it does not moisturize too well as claimed by the product or like any other lip balm. But still it is good to have soft and beautiful lips. It looks appealing to me and reasonably priced.

Just like a lot of other lip balms, this one smelt nice but left my lips feeling even dryer. It did leave a nice red colour to my lips but didn’t help to moisturise them
