Maybelline Baby Lips full collection


Hi everyone! Hope you are all well on this wintery day.

I have been loving lip balms recently so when the last one I was using finished I ended up caving in and buying the Maybelline Baby lips Lip Balms after seeing all the hype. And yeh, I brought all of them! So I now have a big supply for the next few months and thought I would show you them.


Maybelline have released 6 different balms you can collect. The ones released in the UK vary from the US ones slightly. 

I am definitely more of a lip balm kind of gal, I think lip balms are much easier and fuss free than lipsticks and glosses. Lip balms are great for every day use and are much more nourishing than lipsticks.

The lips balms are super nourishing and the three clear ones contain SPF20; the other three are lightly tinted. The colour pay off will depend on your natural lip colour but you can build on the colour.  Peach Kiss is slightly shimmery. Two of the lip balms are also scented; ‘Cherry Me’ is cherry scented and ‘Minty Fresh’ is very minty! - they are all thoroughly moisturising and last around 5 hours i’d say. I really like the product design, I have never seen a lip balm with such cute packaging.

I am glad I purchased all of the lip balms; I wouldn’t necessarily buy them for the colour but as a lip balm they are worth the purchase.

The Maybelline Baby Lips lip balms retail at £2.99. I brought them on a 3 for 2 offer so brought all six for £11.96 instead of £17.94 which is a bargain! Superdrug still have the 3 for 2 offer and if you are buying online you are entitled to free delivery with purchase over £10. So all 6 posted to your door for only £11.96!

Hope you enjoyed this review, let me know if you have tried them and what your favourite is! x


UPDATE 21st December 2013 - I thought it was only right to update this post after using the lip balms for a good few weeks.

Baby lips Intense (blue)
I have been using this one everyday and it is by far my most favourite. This balm is very moisturising and does what a good lip balm should do. I will definitely be repurchasing this one!

Baby lips Cherry Me (orange)
I can’t quite figure out what this one smells of, almost similar to those chalky sweets you eat when you’re young - parma violets? This lip balm is not as moisturising but does give a great colour pay off if layered, the colour is a deep red shade. Perfect for this season.

Baby lips Peach Kiss (purple)
This lip balm is more a little moisturising and gives a slight peach/gold shimmer to the lips. If you apply too much of it you might get the appearance of foundation lips and nobody wants that.

Baby lips Mint Fresh (green)
I gave this one away as it took the word minty to a whole new level! I didn’t like it at all but that’s just me - I don’t like peppermint chewing gum either.

Baby lips Intense care (yellow)
This is another balm without colour, It is alright not as good as the blue one so I won’t be repurchasing.

Baby lips Pink Punch (pink)
The colour payoff of this balm is great, it is a wearable shade of pink and can be intensified with more applications. I can see this one being great for the summer!

Hopefully this update is helpful, out of the six I would only repurchase Hydrate (blue), Cherry Me (orange) and Pink Punch (pink). If I had to choose one it would definitely be the Hydrate lip balm as it is very moisturising!

Let me know your favourites in the comments!
