Maybelline Baby lips


 Maybelline Baby lips in 'Hydrate', 'Pink Punch' and 'Cherry Me'.

I picked three Maybelline baby lips from boots recently on a 3 for 2 offer and since then I haven't worn very much else on my lips!

I really like these, they are cheap at £2.99 a balm, have a lovely and slightly buildable colour and I feel like they are actually hydrating my lips when I'm wearing them.

I tend to go for a stronger eye (forever wearing winged liner) and so this is perfect if like me, you just want a subtle hint of colour and moisture. Maybelline baby lips claim to hydrate your lips for 8 hours, they contain Shea butter and honey and the non tinted balms contain SPF20. These also contain Petrolatum which isn't great for your lips and I would say that the hydration for me personally only lasts around 2 hours.

Currently, I love applying Maybelline Baby lips hydrate as part of my morning skincare routine as its so quick and easy to apply, makes my lips feel moisturised and protected by the SPF. 

I think these are really nice little lip balms and great to pop in your bag as a tinted balm, they're cute and great for quick application on the go.
