Maybelline Review : Baby Lips in Cherry Me

Finally I  got myself some Baby Lips! Yes, as a lip balm lover it only felt right I jump on the bandwagon, though to be fair I'm sure I would have been lured in by the vibrant packaging and the fact the product is called 'Baby Lips'.  I decided to pick up 'Cherry Me' not resisting the 3 for 2 offer... I may have also picked up Peach Kiss and Pink Punch and took advantage of the deal as they are also such lovely tinted lip balms from the range. 

To give a quick overview of the new range from Maybelline, the collection consists of 6 Baby Lips Lip Balms all priced at £2.99. Three of which are clear balms with an SPF 20 and three are tinted lip balms. They all come with fruity scents as well. You can find them currently at Boots for 3 for 2 here or Superdrug 2 for £5 here.

As you can see Cherry Me is a sheer pink/rosy red tinted lip balm, though it can be built up quiet a bit more than in the above swatch where I was just wearing a swipe over my lips. Also as you can probably notice it does wash out lines in the lips making them look slightly more full, which for me is the 'baby lips' like element. I actually really like this aspect of the balm as most lip balms don't overly give that effect. The scent of this is also cherry which isn't overpowering, just subtle and juicy.

For hydration as these claim to give, I would agree to a point, the solid balm easily melts onto the lips on application and is very easy and comfortable to wear... though after an hour or so the balm totally wears off and my lips feel exactly the same. So they do smooth the lips to a point but would never 
replace a good moisturising lip balm... though I am yet to try the 'Intense Care' or 'Hydrate' ones, which aren't tinted but claim to really nourish the lips.

For £2.99 these are 100% worth it! If you haven't jumped on them yet I highly suggest you do! 

Bye
