Maybelline Baby Lips Watermelon Smooth Lip Balm Review

Who isn't aware of the beauty of Maybelline Baby Lips? Well, I am sure there is no one. Ever since they were launched in India, I don't think I have used any other lip balm for long. No matter what I buy, I always find myself reaching out for this. To perk up the range they have the colored version, spiced up version, electro pop and recently launched candy wow. Big thanks to Diva Likes for letting me experience each one of them and today I am going to review the Watermelon Smooth from the original version. Read on to know my views on the product.

My Experience With Maybelline Baby Lips Watermelon Smooth Lip Balm:

The packaging is similar to the other Baby Lips which comes in a cardboard wrapping. The stick is petite with a twist up function and has a very pretty pink cap. The pale yellow and pink packaging looks extremely adorable. The functions are extremely sturdy and I have literally dropped it a thousand times but there wasn't a single scratch. It is light and travel-friendly as well. The stick is baby pink in color and has a refreshing creamy smell to it. However, the shade when swatched or applied over the lips comes off as an extremely transparent glossy layer. The transparent lip balms are totally essential as you can either apply them underneath any matte lip color or simply wear it on its own.

The texture, though looks waxy, glides as smooth as it can be. It is not exactly creamy but gives a thin film of hydrated coating. The beauty of it is that it won't feel thick or uncomfortable at all. There is no waxy layer and a faint touch of shine. It thoroughly hydrates the lips and keeps it soft, supple and flake free all the while. The days when I have dry lips yet prefer matte lipsticks, I simply rub the lip balm over the lips, keep it for 10 minutes or so and scrub with a damp toothbrush and the lips are soft once again.
It has SPF 20 which is perfect because our lips do become pigmented under the sun and, therefore, a sun protection is always required. The lips balm is good for dry lips in all the seasons except for the winter night. You generally require a heavy duty moisturizing lip balm at night but this one is way too light for it.

The staying power of the lip balm is around 3 hours without any food or drinks. It fades off leaving the lips hydrated and thoroughly moisturized. You would always need to re-apply it after food. The only thing I didn't like is the price hike. Baby Lips is undoubtedly a lovely lip balm but that doesn't mean the brand will keep on increasing the price just because we love it.
