I dug deep into my bag over the weekend and found not one, not two, but four different types of lip balms. Coloured, tube, stick, and jar.
Two of them are flavoured, one sits unattended in a lipstick case, and only one is used frequently. I don’t know about you but I’m extremely paranoid about dried, chapped lips. Hence, my ongoing hunt for a lip balm that works is one of my life’s adventures.
Two weeks ago, I attended a Maybelline fashion show and I noticed that they’ve launched a range of cute lip balms aptly named, “Baby Lips”.
My curiosity was roused! I grabbed one (they currently have four yummy flavours) and examined the descriptions:
1. Lips are instantly moisturized for up to eight hours.
2. Contains active care ingredients such as shea butter and centella.
3. Vitamin Complex delivering anti-oxidants.
4. SPF 20 for protection against harmful UV rays.
5. After four weeks, lips are deeply repaired and completely reborn. Guarenteed.
It also says that it’s clinically proven to make lips 82% visibly less dry, 94% less rough, and 77% more supple after just four weeks of use. Hmm.
I went for the “Anti-Oxidant Berry” one and used it for about a week.
The truth? It’s awesome! Not only does it work, it smells good too. I must admit that I did try to push the boundaries of “moisturized for up to eight hours” by applying the lip balm before bed. I woke up and it felt like it had no effect whatsoever but to be fair, it was tried and tested in an air-conditioned room.
For daily usage, Maybelline New York‘s “Baby Lips” is (for its “steal” price of RM10.90 each) quite a miracle worker for super soft, highly kissable lips. And the SPF 20? A winning concoction, really!
The complete set of yummy flavours is as follows:
1. Energizing Orange
2. Smoothing Cheery
3. Menthol
4. Anti-Oxidant Berry
We hear that it has been selling fast since its launch so if you want one, then quickly run, skip, or hop over to your nearest Guardian pharmacy.
