Maybelline New York has very popular lip moisturizers, Baby Lips that I wouldn’t mind trying at all. Cherry Me is the most popular shade in the line, and it moisturizes for up to 8 hours, plus it has SPF 20 sunscreen. According to many Amazon reviewers it is the perfect lip product for all year long – in the summer, it gives a dewy, youthful glow, and in the winter it helps lips from getting dry or cracked. It has received a 4.3 out of 5-star rating on Amazon from 1,889 customers.
About the Product
According to Maybelline, the Baby Lips moisturizers have been clinically proven to make lips 77% more supple, 94% less rough, 77% better looking, and 82% visibly less dry after only just four weeks of use. Also, the company claims that it can give up to 20 SPF and can moisturize the lips for up to 8 hours. Baby Lips colors are available in 6 different shades.
What Others Are Saying
I have heard from women everywhere that this lip balm smells fantastic and it makes their lips look vibrant and healthy. Women love it because it provides a mild pop of color while giving their lips tons of moisture.
Pros
Though this is a lip balm and not highly pigmented, women agree that it is a quality product that lasts for a decent amount of time while improving the appearance and health of their lips. In one Amazon review, I read that one woman notices her lips feel much softer and supple even after the lip balm rubs off hours later, which sounds really impressive. She said her lips were once dry and cracked but have become much healthier and softer after regularly applying Baby Lips.
I think that this is the perfect product for any woman who is striving to achieve the ‘no makeup makeup look’. Baby Lips isn’t too dramatic at all, and the perfect alternative to traditional lipstick.
Another great aspect about Baby Lips is how cheaply priced it is for the value that it offers. From the reviews I’ve read, I don’t think it would be easy to find another quality lip balm as cheap as $2.99.
Cons
I don’t think that Baby Lips is well-suited to more mature women. It seems that any women over 30 complain that the lip balm settles in the creases and edges of their lips, making the color very uneven. I don’t understand why it is happening, but some have even complained that when Baby Lips wears off, it leaves a horrible ring of color around your mouth.
Though Maybelline claims that Baby Lips will moisturize the lips, some women with really dry lips said that it actually made their lips worse than before. If you have excessively dry lips, you should possibly take this as a warning sign.
I have noticed some reviewers very upset because they found out Maybelline tests this lip balm on animals, which is definitely a reasonable concern.
Conclusion
I think that Maybelline succeeds in marketing their product to young girls between the ages of 13-25. However, this product may not be as well-suited for older women or for those who really struggle with dry lips. Everyone is different, so you will just have to consider what the best options for you are.
