Maybelline Baby Lips Review

Its better than ChapStick but not as good as nivea lip butter. Didn't make them baby soft but certainly softer. The only one I don't like is the one that adapts to a supposedly baby pink colour as it turns my lips almost red.

I was intrigued by the hype surrounding baby lips - I mean all lip balm sticks are pretty much the same right? (Except Hurraw - oh my, now THAT is a lip balm worthy of hyperbole.)

The packaging is cute - bright, girly and unmissable. But essentially the same as any other chapstick - round, cap lid etc.

The range of 'flavours' are pretty standard, fruity and fresh - nothing sounds off-putting. I chose mentholated mainly because I was curious if it would be an alternative to Carmex

The menthol scent is strong and it does have a refreshing cooling sensation on your lips. For some reason I never associate menthol with moisturising, but my lips felt instantly smooth. Consistency wise the product is not 'bitty' like other cheap lip balms but it doesn't feel as creamy as some more high-end lip balms do.

I don't believe the product lasted 8 hours - I use lip balm through the day (I have pots and sticks everywhere!) and I felt I had to reapply this more than I would my Hurraw, to keep that soft feeling.

So to sum up - I still don't really understand the hype around the product. I think the brand, packaging, price and wide availability are more appealing than the actual product to be honest. There are better lip balms out there, even in this price range.(Sierra Bees for example)

I own quite a few of the baby lips lip balms and to me, they aren't worth the hype. They are really moisturising initially but then they dry my lips out and leave them horrible and chapped. The mixed berry one is great in that it changes colour, but the lasting power isn't long and it seems to dry my lips out the most. If you want pretty packaging and great smelling lip balms, then these are the ones for you, but if you have really chapped lips and just want something moisturising, probably best to look elsewhere.

I too was a sucker for the cute packaging and affordable price and as a lip balm/gloss addict the eight hour moisturising sold me. Its ok, it does its job but I don't believe the moisturising lasts for eight hours. The smells and flavours are great. At the moment I am using the Pink Glow which gives a nice tint to the lips. I just like how affordable and easy to access it is, have one in my handbag, car and my drawer at work and for those reasons I will use it again and again. But if I wanted a long lasting moisturising product I would stick to the Lucas Paw Paw or similar.

These balms smell really yum! But for me I was disappointed about how they made my lips feel. They felt good when you put it on, but I felt I had to reapply too often to get the conditioned feel again. That's just me!

I have two of these lip balms and I was really excited to find there was a balm out there that has a slight tint to it as Im not one for wearing lipstick but wouldnt mind a little colour along with moisturising. But when i bought my first one there was no colour. It wasnt until i did some research that i found I had to buy the "glow" ones. but even after buying the silver babylips glow I couldnt really tell of any colour........but an upside the taste was nice and it felt great on the lips and really moisturised.

Being a lip balm addict I've tried a couple of these and can't say I was either too impressed or too disappointed in them. I don't think they're as moisturising as I thought they'd be, definitely not the eight hours promised anyway but I apply and reapply constantly out of habit so it's not such a big deal to me. I think they're a bit overpriced so I'd purchase them again but only if I can get them on sale

I love the idea behind Maybelline's Baby Lips, in that the tubes are bright and fun and there is a variety of different 'flavours' to choose from. I have friends who rave about these lip balms, but for me the balm only gives me instant relief from sore and chapped lips, and definitely doesn't last the 8 hours that the campaign claimed. I like my lips to stay moist and conditioned for long periods of time, and these balms unfortunately didn't do that for me.

I love the young bright packaging of these Maybelline Baby Lips range. The price is unbeatable at only $4.99 per stick. The lip balm itself is nothing overly special but does hydrate the lip and I love how it gives a slight tint. I choose to wear this lip balm while working out, make-up free days (who am I kidding... little Make-up days) or just when I want to hydrate my lips.

Overall I would recommend buying these just to have as your go-to lip balm with a dash of colour.

I have these in several scents and colours.

I really like them, particularly 'pink lolita' which gives quite a strong hint of colour, but is in this very convenient tube so you can apply on the go, throughout the day.

They all smell amazing, especially the berry and orange ones. They're really handy to keep in your handbag, as I seem to lose lip balms all the time. They're cute and cheap.

Once I've used mine, I will only repurchase for the coloured ones. The regular balms aren't nearly nourishing and moisturising enough...they do seem to just be a balmy barrier on my lips, rather than moisturising them. They're okay on the go, but when I don't use them my lips feel drier, which is a tell-tale sign of a dodgy lip balm for me. But again, the coloured ones are amazing. For simple moisturising balms, I'll stick to the Neutrogena Naturals balm stick, and Trilogy Everything Balm.
