Maybelline, You Disappoint Me!
How do you know when women like a product? First, there will be a lot of reviews on Total Beauty. A second hint was when I tried to buy it online and it was constantly sold out. It was sold out when I went to my neighborhood drugstores as well. When I finally found it in a nearby city, a $3.99 tube had a giant plastic sensor--the kind you find on clothing in department stores--attached to it! ...read more I had nothing but great expectations for Maybelline "Baby Lips." The commercials are alluring. The packaging is cute. I didn't know there were so many options and was mesmerized. Should I choose the clear with in "Quenched?" (great name) or "Peppermint?" No, a color would be a better choice. I purchased my favorite pink, appropriately named "Pink Punch." It has an enjoyable, candy-like subtle scent. The pink is very muted but does give my lips color. I was surprised that there wasn't more shine, but it seemed to be a good product. I like the SPF factor. There was absolutely no tackiness when I rolled it over my pout. I decided to take a much-needed nap while wearing it (my head was throbbing) and lay down for an hour. When I woke up, my lips pretty much peeled right off. I would have expected this from a lip product which promises to exfoliate, but it only lasted a MERE HOUR! It has some good ingredients like Shea Butter and Aloe Leaf Extract, but to keep this in place it has to be continually reapplied. On one site, the claims are that it is a "clinical-strength" lip balm (I think not!). Other claims are that lips will appear 82 percent visibly less dry, be 77 percent better-looking, have an increase of 77 percent in suppleness, and feel 94 percent less rough. I have to question how they come up with these percentages. All in all, I had a nice touch of color and a bit of short-lived softness. I'll keep this and continue to use it--in conjunction with other lip products that perform far better.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 6 people said helpful

Love It!
I wore a chapstick all week long and still had hard dry, chapped lips, I was so frustrated! So I went to CVS and picked up a couple of these Baby Lips to try out. The first day of use, my lips were smoothed out, soft and moistureized. Thanks Baby Lips!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 9 people said helpful

Completely obsessed with them
I'm one of those people who collect "Baby Lips" because I love them so much... It would be too long of a review if I were to describe every single one of them, and if you are looking for swatches and things like that, then YouTube would be a better place for them... There are tons of reviews on them out there... But if you asked me why I like them, I'd say that it's a little bit of everything: ...read morethe scent, the feel on your lips, the fact that they have that little hint of colour, but not too much, so that your lips look moisturised and yet still natural (except for some very opaque colours in the "Electro" collection), even the tube itself... You really have to try at least one of them and you'll understand why so many people are addicted to these... And by the way, if you are just discovering "Baby Lips" and you decide to try one or two, don't be thrown of by the colour of these balms. Most of them (except for just a couple in the "Electro Collection") are very sheer and will give you just a hint of the colour you are seeing. These really aren't lipsticks or lip butters - they really are just moisturisers with a hint of colour. They don't stay very long on your lips, but honestly, they smell and feel so good that you will want to reapply them all day long even if you don't need to. And instead of going to your local drug store, I would recommend going to "Wallmart" or "Target" because they are always $3 in those places, where as at a drug store you will sometimes have to pay as much as double of that. Check out their new "Dr. Rescue" collection as well - great option for the upcoming winter! ;)This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful
