My Rating: [rating=5]

I happened to pass by Watsons some time ago and purchased the first lip balm I set my eyes on. I guess it was a fortunate stroke of serendipity because I found the best lip balm for me – Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm.

I’ve had, for a very long time, dry and chapped lips. Peeling off dry skin flakes became a habit and it always left me with sore and bleeding lips. Lip balms are generally my lip savers but this one is the best partner my puckers could ever have.

Maybelline Baby Lips‘ secret is the exclusive lip renew formula from its superior ingredients:

• Shea Butter. It’s an intensive skin moisturizer, ideal for dry and cracking skin. It helps to heal and repair the lips, leaving them feeling soft and moisturized.
• Centella Essence. A powerful essence from a botanical plant that increases cell turnover, thus reducing fine lines. It also increases the suppleness, plumpness, and elasticity of the lips.
• SPF 20: A rather high lip protection from harmful UV rays.
• Vitamins. Vitamin C & E as anti-oxidants to restore and protect damaged cells.

What I love most about this product is that it actually works like a charm. My lips were cracked and bleeding when I started using it. After only a couple of hours, dry flakes on my lips softened and peeling them off wasn’t painful at all. After one day, my lips were completely healed and they felt smoother. It was like a miracle that I can hardly believe.

I noticed that it has some kind of exfoliant. The top layer always comes off, then you have to peel it, and voila.. baby soft lips again in no time. Some wouldn’t like the idea of regular lip peeling but I think it’s beneficial because it will leave your lips soft and supple, and the peeling process doesn’t hurt at all.

I’m using Maybelline Baby Lips in Smoothing Cherry – the #1 lip balm for me so far. It has a muted pink tinge and gives a clear, shiny finish when applied. According to the label, it moisturizes for 8 hours (even when wiped off) but I seem to be licking my lips all the time so I don’t wait that long to re-apply.

Sorry, I’m not posting any before and after photos because the before photo is really horrible. x_x My husband can vouch how soft my lips are right now. ♥

What else do I love about this lippy? The packaging is oh-so-adorable, its sweet cherry scent is highly addictive, and it’s downright cheap for only PhP 79! I want to get all 4 flavors for everyday total lip pampering!

I also want to try the Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Glow range with Color Blooming technology. The collection claims to react with your unique lip chemistry and reveal a perfect pink glow that’s definitely your own.
