Hello, hello!
Yesterday at the store, I (somehow!) wandered into the beauty department and noticed a new product I had to get my hands on: Maybelline Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip Gloss!
As an already huge fan of the Baby Lips lip balms (if you haven’t tried one, I highly recommend them), I had a good feeling about these new glosses and was really excited to try one out! There were about five or six colors available where I was, and this pretty peach was the one that caught my eye. If you read my blog at all, you know I’m an absolute sucker for anything peach/peachy pink, so this one was a no-brainer! This shade is called “Life’s a Peach” (cute!).
As for the color, it’s a bright, cotton-candy pink peach shade in the bottle and as swatched, but it doesn’t have too much color payoff on the lips – more of a pretty tint.
(This is how it looks on my bare lips – above)
As for the formula, this is not at all sticky and is so lightweight it feels much more like a rich balm than a gloss. When I first put it on, I was a little self-conscious because it seemed to emphasize any and all cracks and lines in my lips, but after probably only 3-5 minutes, the gloss had moisturized my lips so well they really did feel like baby lips 😉 and looked amazing!
To sum it up, this gloss is a new favorite. I’m so in love with the hydration it delivers, and the light tint it gives my lips as well as the soft peach scent. It doesn’t taste bad or feel sticky, and the packaging is really cute. I think this is great for summer especially because it’s so lightweight and hydrating and gives lips such a healthy look. For under $4, this is a great buy and a great example of how great drugstore makeup can be. I’m a wee-bit obsessed with this gloss right now, and may or may not already be thinking of whether or not I need another shade or two… 😛
Let me know what you think of these glosses (whether you’ve tried them or not), and/or Baby Lips! I’m a bit of a fan as you can tell… 🙂
P.S: I also picked up Burt’s Bees lip balm in Vanilla Bean, and holy Toledo…I love it.
Maybe I’m a sucker for too many things, but when it comes to peach and Vanilla Bean, I’m not sorry!
