My quest for the perfect lip balm began around three years ago during a particularly cold winter. I went through jars of vaseline and various lip products, but was never satisfied.

My thirst for soft lips was finally quenched in the latter part of 2012 when Maybelline first produced Baby Lips.

All of my friends raved about this product for weeks on end. I figured it was just another lip balm, but I was sadly mistaken. The first moment I put it on, I fell in love with its soft creamy texture and vibrant sheen.  Since, I wear it almost every day and night.

It’s simple: I’m obsessed.

Not only does it keep your lips moist, but it adds color too. While I would normally apply a lipstick or lipgloss, this lip balm does it all in one easy step. There are multiple colors, and isn’t a sticky mess like most lip glosses. I just can’t stand when your hair blows onto your face and it gets all in a goopy mess.

Plus, it’s long-lasting color. You don’t have to reapply often, a luxury I enjoy. I hate constantly having to rummage through my bag looking for my lip color.

There are many flavors, my favorite being the orange sherbert smelling one, to choose from. People have often asked what perfume I’m wearing when I am, in fact, wearing my Baby Lips. When you wear it, you basically glow sweetness.

If you are a person who doesn’t like colored or scented lip balm, there is a solution for that too. They have a non-flavored clear version of the product as well as the flavored colored ones.

It may sound like the miracle product, but it has some flaws.

For example, it is not shaped like the practically indestructible eos lip balm. This lip balm has a stout dome shape filled with product. However, Baby Lips is in the average ‘stick’ shape that is quite fragile. I have broken a Baby Lips stick before and expect it to happen again.

Also, isn’t made of all natural ingredients as the Burt’s Bees chapstick. This is a disappointment that I hope will be resolved in the future.

Another lip balm that is in competition with Baby Lips is Chapstick Brand. I personally used Chapstick for many years, but always had to reapply the product due to a thin consistency. While Chapstick has more ounces of product in it Baby Lips is more durable to everyday lips.

Baby Lips is also quite pricy for a drugstore lip balm.

However, the good outweighs the bad in this product. I do love this lip balm and will continue to wear it all the time.
