I was browsing the stands in my local drugstore last week and as I passed the Maybelline section I saw these neon bad boys glaring back at me. I mean really, I couldn't miss them, they're so bright and they really intrigued me. So, as any good beauty blogger does I popped them in my basket without a second thought, excited to try them out when I got home. They were of course the Mayelline Baby Lips Electro Lip Balm.
I picked up 3 of the shades (they were on 3 for 2) and I just love the names. I really think names are important when making a make-up product because as well as the shade of a product, the name is important to me too. Please say I'm not weird and you think like that too? The colours I got were Strike A Rose (pink), Berry Bomb (purple) and Oh! Orange! (errrr orange).
I've been experiencing some problem lips in the past week or so and they've become quite dry and flaky (nice, I know) so I figured these products would be good to add a little tint to my lips during the day yet still give some moisture to try and get my lips back in good condition.
According to studies these produce smoother, more hydrated and better looking lips and I have to say I think I agree. I've been using various different shades on my lips over the past week and my lips have definaetly improved. They feel really moisturising when you apply them to the lip and give a lovely hint of colour.
The colours kinda scared me at first but they look really lovely on the lips. They're a really nice alternative to the heavy autumn plummy lip I have been wearing. Oh and the flavour! I love having a flavour or scent to my lip balms and the flavours on these are subtle and not too artificial. Oh! Orange! tastes like, what else? oranges, Berry Bomb is a grapey, berry taste and Strike A Rose is a kind of sweet taste.
Overall, I'm really glad I picked these up. They're a great bargain buy if you need a quick fix for your lips and don't want to spend a ton of money. They will definaetly stay in my handbag for the next few weeks and I'll continue to reach for them to give my lips a moisture and a hint of colour when I'm having a no or little make-up day.
What's your favourite bargain product to wear on your lips?
So pretty! I wonder if we can get those here. I'll have to look for them. :-D
