REVIEW: Maybelline Baby Lips

The long awaited Baby Lips by Maybelline are finally out in the UK. The reason why I have been waiting for these lovelies is cause I am more of a lipgloss/lipbalm kinda girl rather than lipsticks. So when I saw these being used by youtubers in the US I knew this is something I would love. They come in 6 flavours. Iv bought just two at the moment. They got them in Cherry Me, Pink Punch, Grape Vine, Quenched, Peppermint & Peach Kiss. The two that I picked up are Cherry Me & Peach Kiss. I found them at superdrug. The weird bit was I went to the Maybelline section and dint find it and was walking away thinking there were only being sold online till I walked past the Nails sections and found them all placed with the nails accessories, how weird was that. While waiting for these to come to the UK I just knew they would cost a fortune BUT to my surprise they cost only £2.99 each. Very pretty Packaging, just so colourful and so girly. Real gorgeous colours.

Cherry Me

Cherry Me is a cherry/red tint coloured. More Cherry thou than red. I feel its perfect if you (which is me) want to try a red lip but is afraid to go so bold since uv never done it before. Cherry gives you this lovely red tint to the lips without making you feel your looking too bold. It just such a pretty colour. Smells gorgeous, and just by the name you would guess right that it smells just like cherries. Comes in a pretty orange packaging. Keeps my lips nice and moisturised. Doesn't leave any sticky feeling like some lip balms do. Since iv always had the habit of applying my Nivea care lip balm as a base and then add my lipstick or lip colour, with Cherry Me I wouldn't need to do that as I am getting both the benefits from just one. I can see Cherry Me being my favourite lip product for a while now.

Peach Kiss
Peach Kiss is a peachy colour with a brown under tone. I am not very impressed with the colour I get from Peach Kiss, cause it gives me something similar to my Nivea Care & my Maybelline Pink Brown. Does give more of a shine. Lips feel soft & non-sticky. Has a lovely peachy bubble gum smell to it. Comes in a Purple & Peach packaging. This is would used in days when I just want a bit of colour to the lips and nothing heavy. Wouldn't say I don't like it & wouldn't say its my favourite either.

OverAll
Cherry Me is definitely my favourite out of the two. Will certainly be wearing Cherry Me quite often. Love the smell of both the lip balms. I would re-buy them & buying the other flavours. The packaging is really pretty. Lovely price.

If you'v used them id love to know what you think of them and which one is your favourite out of the six.

REVIEW: Maybelline FitMe Concealer

Have you ever bought a product you just dint like, tried many a times to like it but dint get what u expected from it, and days/months gone by when the 1st product you pick up is this 'one' and bam it works like magic. YES this is exactly what happened with me & Maybelline FitMe concealer. Initially it just wasn't meant for me & now I cant live with out it. What I have understood of it is its not meant for dry skin. The reason why I say so is cause I had few dry patches on the apples of my cheeks and this concealer would just sit & look all patchy on those areas. It would even sit in the fine lines under & eyes making it look so much bigger.

Few weeks ago when I was applying concealer my hands reached out to the Maybelline Fitme and I was about to put it back knowing it wasn't meant for me, but I said let me give it a go. This time I tried it using a brush, an eye shadow brush (from superdrug. It was like Dynamo worked out one of his tricks. The blend was perfect, it dint sit in the fine lines under my eyes, it wasn't cakey at all, there wasn't any dry patches, dint feel like I had anything on. Now being summer & the high temperatures we having here in the UK my oily skin is at its highest, which means no dry patches, so this does really well. All I do is apply two dots of it under my eye, blend it out using the eye shadow brush and its give me the perfect layer of coverage, brightness and feel to my skin. After blending it with the brush I use the tip of my ring finger to tap it down a bit for that extra blend, apply my face powder and m good to go. I am so glad I gave it another try. It long lasting as well. I can go all day without having to touch it up even with this high temperatures we having. So yes now I can see why the big hype about this product. It is definitely going to be my summer must have.

Let me know if you've tried this concealer & your thoughts about it. If you've done a review on it even better just send me your links. Hope u found this helpful. Thank you for reading this.
