I have a rather obsessive love of lip balms, you will find one or two{maybe more} in each of my handbags, so that when I change bags I am never without! You will definitely find a few in my car, hidden in strategic places 🙂 I will not go off on a run without having some form of lip balm with me! Ok so now that you understand my love of lip balms, we can continue with this review.

My love of or slight obsession with lip balms, was probably born out of the need to constantly keep my lips hydrated. I suffer from quite dry lips and have a tendency to lick my lips, which means I need to constantly reapply, whatever I am wearing on my lips.

There are so many various brands of lip balms on the market, which promise soft hydrated lips but sadly they fail to deliver. Either they are way too sticky, smell like plastic{alarming but true} or leave your lips feeling more parched than they did before. Imagine my delight when I received a selection of the Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balms to try! I had heard so much about Baby Lips but had not had the opportunity to get my hands on them yet.

Baby Lips otherwise known as the Champion of Lip Balms, is now available in South Africa in six variants: Hydrate, Intense Care, Mint Fresh, Cherry Me, Pink Punch and Peach Kiss. The balms contain a secret lip renew formula, which stimulates natural collagen production, as well as protecting and moisturising the lips.

Whats not to love? The packaging is super cute and all the fragrances are just right, not over powering at all! I found them all quite hydrating and the slightly tinted ones, give you just that hint of colour on your lips. Then there is the price – R24.95 you certainly cannot go wrong with that!

After trying all the variants I have definite favourites! Although I love the pretty colour and smell of both Pink Punch and Cherry Me – a hands down winner for me, is Mint Fresh! It has a subtle minty smell and a slight tingle, it wakes up your lips and leaves them feeling wonderfully soft.

So all in all these cutie lip balms get a thumbs up from me and are a definite favourite!
