Hello lovelies!
You might have seen these cute new products Maybelline have released called the Baby Lips Balm & Blush. They come in 4 different shades; Innocent Peach, Flirty Pink, Blooming Ruby & Bronze Shimmer. The shade I picked up was Flirty Pink.
First of all, I want to comment on the packaging. I like the fact it's a small product & it's easily transportable, however it isn't the easiest to hold. I find I'm almost pinching it & have dropped it a few times!
The actual product smells lovely & I was initially won over by the scent, but once applied to my lips & I could taste it, I wasn't a fan. You know those cheap lip products that have an almost plastic taste? That's sadly what it reminded me of.
I'm quite a fussy person when it comes to lip balm & sadly this one didn't impress me. It didn't produce any colour onto my lips & didn't keep them moisturised. Infact, I didn't even feel the product on my lips after about 20 minutes.
However, I tried it as a blush & was super impressed. I go through stages of loving powder blushes & then back to cream blushes & this one is one of the loveliest I've tried. It lasted the duration of the day & felt very light-weight on my skin.
So to conclude, I absolutely love this product as a blush but it did nothing for me as a lip balm, however I do believe a lot of people will be a fan of it. I do think it's a complete bargain for a multi-purpose product.
Have you tried the Baby Lips range from Maybelline? What were your thoughts?
Awww this is super cute my dear! What a lovely lip balm/blush product! I really like the dual combination and will defiantly have to pick one up for myself so that I can give it a try :). I am really looking forward to testing it as a blusher, the colour looks so pretty in your swatch :).

Thankyou babe, I'd love to hear your thoughts :) xxxx
DeleteI love the sort of EOS inspired designs as they are so easy to throw in your handbag on the go, and easy to apply. I had no idea they were bringing that out so thank you for informing me as I'm going out to buy this to see what I think. I do think I'll have the same opinion, as I do like lip balms doing what they proclaim they are going to do! But I'm looking forward to experimenting them as a blush. Xx
ReplyDeleteThankyou for your lovely comment babe, I'd love to hear your thoughts when you do try it :) x
DeleteThis is interesting... I'm not a huge fan of the Baby Lips range, but it's nice that they create blushes now!

Yes, I wasn't a massive fan either until I found this blush, I'd love to hear what you think if you do try it :) x
DeleteThese are so cute but such a shame to hear they didn't work well as a balm! x

I haven't seen these before, shame it wasn't a good balm. I never did get a long with their lip balms. Looks like a lovely shade for a blush though x
