Maybelline baby lips - Review!

 Hey Everyone!!
So, as promised, here is my review of the Maybelline Baby lips which became available in boots this week! I am now the proud owner of all 6 types and if you want them too I suggest going online to boots now as it is 3 for 2 on Maybelline so you can get all 6 for the price of 4!! They are £2.99 each if you arn't as wild as me and realise you only have the one pair of lips!

So, as shown above, each individual Lip balm has a different colour which I think is really nice, they are all bright colours and I am just a huge fan of it! It doesn't look expensive but its £2.99 so who really cares what its in!
So, these are essentially lip balms but slightly different. I find they look more glossy but without the sticky effect of a gloss and they soften my lips so much! They work in the style of a lipstick where you twist the base to access the product. All the balms also have SPF 20 in them so are great for summer as they will stop any burning of the lips (Yes that does happen, and trust me, Its painful!)

I am starting with the blue one (going left to right like a madman) which is the "Hydrate" version.
As you can see it is a clear stick so there is absolutely no colour change on the lips at all which is good for places like school where you can't really wear makeup. It's also good for people who like to have something on their lips but don't like strong colours or stick lip glosses.
It has a slight sent which smells to me slightly fruity like a sweet but its not strong and its very very slight. I can already tell this is going to be much loved!




Next is the purple edition!! This one is in "peach kiss" and as you can see in the picture it is not a clear stick but more of a beige-nude colour.
This smells delicious! It actually smells like peach which is just lovely to have on your lips. Its just so so refreshing but not overpowering! Maybelline know their stuff!
As for colour, it gives more of a sheer finish. Don't look at the image like "omg it looks like a lipstick" its really not strong, if anything its the lightest bit of colour that its barely noticeable but still nice. Again, nice for people who maybe don't like wearing strong colours but want something there.






This is one of my favourites and this is the "Mint fresh" edition and yes, you've guessed it, it has a mint scent!
It's literally good enough to eat, just smelling it right now is just lush ahh this will probably be one of the first ones I'll have to repurchase because I am a massive mint maniac!
This again has no colour and is just a nice refreshing balm on the lips. As with all the baby lips, I find it gives a bit of a glossy, shiny look without being sticky or too thick.








On to the yellow one! Apologies that this one kind of blended into the background a bit. Lip balms gone camo!  My nails also match! yay!
Anyway this is the "intense care" edition which I'm assuming is just more moisturising for those who suffer with dry lips and need that help to keep them nice and soft.
This again has a lovely fragrance which is softer and less fruity than the blue "hydrate" formula. Its very slight but still really nice.









Picture decided to turn funny but oh well! This is the orange "Cherry Me" Edition which is by far my favourite! It smells amazing! As you can probably  guess it is a cherry scent but its just so sweet and so yummy that I just want to take a bite of the lip balm (don't worry, I won't!)
This one is a pink colour and with this one especially I do notice colour on the lips but again its very very sheer and not at all strong. Its a nice dark pink which since its not a strong colour is very flattering and would suit most people.



And last but not least, Is the Pink "pink punch" edition. This smells so fruity! It smells exactly like fanta fruit twist. No word of a lie! If you love that drink you will love the scent of this as I am now craving a glass like crazy!
Its a bright pink stick but I really don't notice much change on the lips so would be practical again for school or something where you need lip protection but arn't allowed makeup.









So guys! That is all the Maybelline baby lips! I hope all you UK residents are as excited as I am about these and trust me when I say that these are totally worth the £2.99 they cost. I'm not sure they are available in stores yet because I ordered mine online literally the first day possible so If anyone does know please leave a comment or something if you've seen them!
I hope this was useful!
