Hello again lovelies!
I recently bought the Maybelline Baby Lips Balm in Cherry Me and I wanted to share my opinion with you guys.
Firstly, we need to discuss the price. It's being sold for £2.99 which I thought was an extremely fair price for a lip balm from Maybelline. Not only does it moisturize your lips, it also gives it some colour. The products that I could compare this to are Rimmel's Keep Calm Lip Balm range, and Barry M's Cor Balmy Lip Balms. They have a similar range of colours, but Maybelline's have more shades available and different types such as minty fresh, repair and hydrate.
They are the same price as Rimmel's Keep Calm range, but I thought the packaging of the Keep Calm range was so tacky that I decided to buy the Maybelline ones instead. (Barry M's are £3.99 and they didn't have as many choices either.)
The Keep Calm branding has been used pretty much everywhere recently, but it's the names of the product and the little images on the bottom that brings me back to the rubbers (erasers) that were shaped like lipsticks that everybody used in primary school.
Their prices are also quite different, and I don't know if that is a typo on the Superdrug website or not, but the Baby Lips are at £1.57 per 10 grams, while Rimmel's are at £7.48. Besides, the Baby Lips have been around for longer, and many of my friends have recommended them to me. The slant on the Keep Calm lip balms do make it easier to apply, and the hydration is about the same. The colours however aren't as vibrant as the Baby Lips. Maybelline's lip balms also protect your lips as it has SPF 20.

The Baby Lips Balm that I picked smells absolutely amazing, and I did need to reapply over the course if the day, but that that was because I was nonstop drinking because of the weather. It's not overly bright as it is a balm and not lip gloss, but there is a significant change in colour.

I prefer carrying lip balm sticks over Vaseline pots. They just seem so bulky and take up a lot of space. They also don't tint your lips or smell particularly nice.
You can buy the Baby Lips Balm here, and it's currently on sale at buy one get the 2nd half price.
