The product is good and so is the smell. However I think that you could pay a lot less for a better quality product.
I'm not a fan of Maybelline Baby Lips Peppermint. It feels about as effective as lipstick. Doesn't moisturize my lips and makes my lips dependant upon the lip balm, as opposed o helping them soften.
I like these, but I am just not crazy about them. They are nothing exceptional, just a lip balm but I do find that it tends to dry out my lips.
They do not give much colour either which is either good or bad depending on what it is you are looking for, I have a couple different ones & I always seem to default to other products. My YSL sheer candy balm remains my staple go to balm
I love the way this lip balm feels when you apply it, very smooth, soft, smells good.
Then the downfall: it totally dries my lips out all day long and it sucks and I will never use it again. Its worse than other lip balms I've tried.
My favorite thing about this was the flavor. To be honest it really wasn't all that I had hoped for, so I use my others more often.
Flavours:
Energizing orange
Smoothing Cherry
Refreshing Menthol
Antioxidant Berry
You do get a full amount of balm with this product and it takes up the whole tube inside. At first I thought it was nothing special, but it was possibly a waxy layer to protect the balm from melting while being shipped to stores. Once you get down to the actual balm it is balmy and rich in moisture. It's not the best I've ever used. I still think original Nivea balm soaks into lips immediately, and my Carmex is a genuine must-have for night. I also love Mark Kiss Therapy because it's a serious balm that does the job. This works for mildly dry lips, and the grape does have a nice tint. However, it rubs off more easily than my favorites balms, and dry lips need to be insulated by moisture so it can nourish your lips.
I really don't see what all the hype is about over these. They do have nice pigmentation for a balm and apply smoothly, but that's about all the positive things I have to say about em. If different coloured ones are any better than the rest, let me know and I'll be sure to try it. The ones I've tried are cherry me and the clear one in the blue tube (forget the name, sorry!).
They taste like chemical flavours, they're greasy, and to be honest, they're really not all that moisturizing. I can see this being a decent summer lip balm, but nothing that's too useful in the dry Canadian winter on dry cracked lips.
The best way that I've found to use this is on top of a different, thicker mediocre lip balm. The two together still aren't anything special, but they both make the other a little better.
Sorry Maybelline !
I have heard a lot about this product but I was a little dissapointed, I would not purchase it again, there are a lot of better lip balms than this one.
I bought this lip balm with great expectations, especially with the high price point. It did work quite well while I was using it religiously the first week, but you'll quickly notice that it doesn't last very long on your lips. I had to reapply almost every half hour to feel like my lips were moisturised.
It works, but it's a hassle to reapply every so often. For the price, you can definitely purchase better.
