Maybelline baby lips (Alia limited edition) review!!!!

By

Hello folks, here comes the first product review on my blog and we are starting with one my most favorite skincare products to use but do I like this particular brand ??? Keep reading and let's find out together.

I'm a sucker for good lipbalms. Hence, I always in a hunt for finding the best lipbalms in the market. A month ago, I was going through my lip balms stack ( not kidding, I do have a stack of lipbalms) and found this one lipbalm which I used to use a lot back in college and did quite like it.

I thought why not start using it now and see if I like it now and guess what I did not like it as a lipbalm but love it as something else.So, without any further ado let's get into the review.

The product that I'm gonna review today is from everyone's drugstore favorite brand and OG lipbalm.Drumrolls please 🥁🥁🥁, it is Maybelline baby lips from Alia's limited edition in the share Manhattan mauve.


Maybelline baby lips limited edition




Now, let's see what the product actually claims and whether all the claims are real or not(Detective hat on 🔍 ) .

Claim's:

  • Tinted lip balm with SPF 20
  • Keeps lips moisturized for up to 16 hours
  • Protects and repairs lips
  • Enriched with Vitamin E and coconut oil

Reality:(Oily based on my experience with the product)

  • It is definitely tinted, you get four different shades and all are really beautiful.
  • It is an SPF 20 lipbalm. So, brownie points to maybelline.
  • It lasts for one year max and that's it.
  • It does protect our lips from sun damage but it does not repair my chapped , dry lips for sure.
  • Now , I can not really tell what ingredients they have used because the ingredients list is no where mentioned on their official website, product packaging or in any market places like amazon, nykaa to comment on that part but I did observe that it gives that nice oily shine after applying.
Let's discuss some serious pros and cons so that you can decide whether to invest on this or not.

P.s- All the observations shared in this post are based on my experience with the product and if you are already using it and liking it , please continue. Something which doesn't work form me might work for you and vice versa. Skincare and makeup are subjective from person to person.

Pros:

  • I like the packaging of the product. Usually all lip balms comes in a tub making us use our fingers and it can get messy and unhygienic sometimes.
  • It has SPF.So, we get sun protection. Of course, we have to reapply this every two hrs but since it is a lip balm, it is easy to reapply.
That's it my pros list ends there sadly. Now, I really love love love OG babylips and I still use it but not this limited edition one.

Cons:

  • It does not moisturize my lips well and that's the main thing I look in any lipbalm.I had to reapply it every half an hour to one hr and because it is a tinted lipbalm, I can not use often because of the bright colour it gives which brings me to my second con.
  • This is tinted and the tint brighter than sun.I like mild tints which looks natural but this one is bright and looks very unnatural after one swipe. I love applying 3-4 swipes of my lipbalm for the extra moisturization and by the time I complete the last round, my lips look very bright as if bloos is flowing out of my mouth. But if you are some one who hates lipsticks formulation and love lipbalms and bright colours, you can definitely give this one a try.
  • It does not repair my chapped & dry lips and this is what a good lip balm should do.
  • Not ideal for summer.
Well, despite all these cons I still use this product but in a different way and I love it and I think you will definitely love it too.

I've added picture of this lipbalm swatches on hand.In order from left to right , first swatch is about 3 swipes and second is one swipe.

Do you see how pretty it looks on my hands, these will make a perfect blush on any skin tone and that's how I use it.



I use this lipbalm as my blush and eye shadow and it blends beautifully, looks very natural as if my skin has that natural flush on the cheeks. I'm not a makeup person yet, I just use a compact powder even if it is a very big occasion. So, what I do to give my face some life is I put this on my cheeks and eyes and powder it up, it gives me a very nice dewy gloweyy kinda look and I love it...

I give this product 2.5 out of 5.

You must me wondering what's my my most favorite lip balm or may be not but anyways I'm gonna tell you guys.

These are my top 5 lip balms, I love all these lip balms equally but sebamed takes the cake just because it has SPF protection :






I hope this post is helpful. If so, share my blog with your friends and family.

All you need to know about double cleansing

Back then when I was a teenager, I didn't care about my skin and in-fact I used to use body soap on my face too for years and years. Now that I'm into skincare, it hurts my soul thinking that I had used a bar of soap on my face. In 2015, I've started watching YouTube and along the way, I got hooked to skincare videos. Upon doing a lot of research with the available resources, I've curated a simple CTM routine for me and guess what it made a huge difference on how my skin looks and feels. I've completely stopped using bar soap on my face ever since and started using a cleanser to wash my face. But what is double cleansing? Why should you bother cleansing your face twice? And is it really for everyone? Hold on to your seat and keep reading for all the answers to your burning questions. What is it? Double cleansing is as simple as it sounds. It involves thoroughly washing your face twice with two cleansers .The only catch is that the cleansers need to be two different ...
