Hello Loveys!
 
Todays review is on the Maybelline Babylips in Pink Punch. I had heard so much about these and was never quite sure on what the hype was all about. I was in my local Superdrug when I saw them, I had a think and thought why not lets jump on the bandwagon.
 
Maybelline states these offer 8hour moisture and protection, a revolutionary balm with SPF 20.
 
 
 
The packaging isn't amazing, its bright and eye catching, but not sure what I think of the baby lips writing on the lip balm itself. It does have a handy retractable tube, and the balm goes right in the tube unlike others, so no broken lip balm!
 
 They have various shades and scents available, and I chose Pink Punch, a pink punch fruity scent which is quite sweet but not sickly.

I applied this on my way to work and loved the feeling, it was moisturising and made my lips soft after applying. Maybelline states it offers 8 hour protection, not sure I agree as I felt I needed to reapply after a couple of hours.

Pink Punch is a cold toned pink with a shimmer, but if you want fantastic pigmentation and bold colours then don't pick these as they aren't created to give that affect, they only give a "hint of colour". The colour didn't stay on long and I found the balm gathered on my lip, it didn't sink in particularly well to ensure my lips were intensely moisture.

I don't think it looks up to the hype but sometimes when products are hyped so much they then aren't seen as great as the expectation is on such a high level!
 
Have you tried these?
 
Which is your favourite?

Review: Maybelline Color Tattoo! Swatches!

Todays review and swatches are on the Maybelline Color Tattoos! I had heard so much about these and when I saw these in the flesh I couldn't resist!! They are beautiful!

I purchased On and On Bronze and Metallic Pomegranate. I heard so much about these so when I saw them on offer in Superdrug for buy one get one half price I felt it was time to have a go myself!

Maybelline, Color, Tattoo, Rose, Gold, Pink, Bronze, Eyes, Eyeshadow, swatches, Review, Blog, Beautiful, Metallic, Autumn, WinterFirst one I used was the On and On Bronze shade, a gorgeous metallic gold/bronze. The consistency is smooth and creamy. The shadow applies easily and has great pigmentation, it truly was beautiful! I applied this with my fingers and was amazed at the quality, I tend to find creamy eyeshadows crease easily with my old wrinkly eyelids! But these definitely did not make me feel like I had old eyelids, they made my eyelids stand out, with a stunning shade of bronze. I then applied a shadow on my crease line and to the ends of my eyelid. The effect was gorgeous, the next test was going to be how long would it last! I worked that day, was up early and had a lot on! By the end of the day I had forgotten that I applied this and was pleasantly surprised that the product was still on, not only was it still on but it kept my shadow in place. I was super impressed! 
 
The next shade I tried was the Metallic Pomegranate, seen here on the left. This shade reminded me of the MAC Cranberry eyeshadow, it had a cranberry tone with a metallic shade, truly beautiful! As above this was used under an eyeshadow, it glistened through and lasted all day without creasing. I was so impressed that I now have a wishlist to get more colours!
