The Baby Lips Have Invaded!

Many UK bloggers and beauty enthusiasts have had to sit idly by watching US bloggers rave about the Maybelline Baby Lips. They told us how wonderful, delicious and conditioning they are whilst we watched on and longed for them in our lives. But no more my fellow UK beauty nuts, they are finally here, they have well and truly invaded our British shores. 

I will admit that I've waited a very long time for these to jump over the pond, I was so excited that they are now available to me, that I bought them all. Every last one. One can never have too many lip balms (I tend to lose them in the black hole that is my handbag) and at £2.99 a pop, they're a bargain. 

There are six different types of Baby Lips currently available: Hydrate, Pink Punch, Peach Kiss, Cherry Me, Intense Care and Mint Fresh. I have to say my favourites are Pink Punch and Cherry Me, these give a really sheer colour which is handy when you want a splash of colour on the go. They also smell the most delicious out of the six. My least favourite is probably the Intense Care balm, it's not that it's a bad lip balm; it's just that it doesn't offer anything new and exciting. It has no smell and no colour so it is basically just a normal everyday lip balm.  I do love that they have their names on the lid, it was especially helpful when I took all the lids off them and couldn't remember what lids went on which.

 As for the others, well the hydrate balm is a little bit greasier than the rest but still just as comfortable to wear. The rest feel pretty much the same, nourishing but wear off fairly quickly. I wouldn't say I've seen or felt any long term benefits from using these (I pretty much use them everyday) but when my lips are feeling a little parched, they add that little bit of hydration to keep me sane. 

After hearing all the hype about these little guys, I have to say I'm not disappointed but I'm not blown away either. They are really nice lip balms, especially the tinted ones. They don't give the 8hr moisturising effect as stated as they don't really last all too long. But they do keep my lips feeling nourished throughout the day, have a lovely smell and are super comfortable to wear.  They don't feel greasy like other lip balms I've tried and I have to say that they are definitely up there in my favourite balms. 

Have you tried the Baby Lips? Worth all the hype, or no?
