Review: Maybelline New York Baby Lips Love Color Lip Balm in Cherry Kiss

Here's a review of the Maybelline Baby Lips 💓Color Lip Balm in Cherry Kiss shade.

*Disclaimer: This is not a paid review; I bought this product with my own money and I'm just sharing my  opinion.*

Like most beauty junkies out there, I love my matte lippies but there are times when my lips just need a breather. That is how lip balms come handy. This tinted lip balm from Maybelline is my current go-to lip balm

About The Product

Maybelline Baby Lips Love Color Lip Balm 

Shade: Cherry Kiss

How Much: Php 88.00 - discounted I think! On BeautyMNL it's Php 99.00

Where I Got It: Watsons in SaveMore Tacloban

Also Available At: Online, drugstores and department stores nationwide

This next generation lip balm claims to give "adult strength care for baby soft lips". It also gives a translucent pop of color and shine and promises up to 12 hours of moisture. It also contains SPF 20.

So here's the lip balm. It comes in a bright coral pink plastic tube with a twist-up mechanism. The balm itself is almost the same color of the tube. It contains 4 grams of product.

It smells like cherry, a little tangy even but don't worry, it's not too overpowering. When applied, it doesn't feel thick or heavy (as opposed to Carmex, if you have tried it) but it's a little bit sticky. It literally melts on contact with the lips and gives a translucent coral pink color that can give you the subtle one for a fresh no-makeup look.

Ingredients

Swatch

Here's the swatch: as described above it is coral pink in color.

In Action//FOTD

Hey, it's me with bare lips. ;)

For reference, the photo above depicts how I looked right before I swiped the lip balm on. Yep, lips are looking dull and a bit dry. See how one swipe of the Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in Cherry Kiss changed my look? It's just a subtle flush of colors but it makes a huge difference.

Simple makeup for office. On my lips is the  Maybelline Baby Lips Love Color Lip Balm in Cherry Kiss

For the other claims, my lips really feel smooth and cushiony soft even after the lip balm has worn off. The dry and flaky parts of my lips just comes off easily without blood or pain. 

Wear time is short since it's just a lip balm. It stays for about three hours if you don't eat or drink, it's a lot shorter if you do. However, it's really easy to reapply, so no big deal for me. 

Obviously, it doesn't give a matte finish, so if you wear this underneath a matte lippie, you will get shiny lips. However, you can swipe this on your lips at night, right before going to sleep. Upon waking up, wipe it off with a soft cloth washed with warm water and your lips will be smooth, chap-free and ready for a matte lipstick.

To Sum Up

Life will give you cheap thrills every now and then and with the Maybelline Baby Lips Love Color Lip Balm, you're less than a hundred pesos away from being pretty and healthy-lipped. What's not to love? :)

This product is just as perfect for young girls out there who are trying our makeup for the first time as it is for the many women out there who have tried all forms of lip colors and need to pamper and treat their lips once in a while.

Grab it now! I checked BeautyMNL are there are four color choices for this one: Berry Crush (Berry Pink), Cherry Kiss (Coral Pink), Pink Lolita (Light Pink) and Rose Addict (Rose Pink). Pink is universally flattering and you will surely find your match. My sister has this in Berry Crush and it also looks great on us both.

I will definitely try the other colors when I run out.
