Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow Lip Balms : Raspberry

Hello Dolls,

What’s up? Yesterday I was watching Koffee With Karan, Variya (Varun Dhawan & Aaliya Bhatt) were the guests. They were so fun to watch together. The rapid fire round with Varun was awesome. My stomach literally hurt when Varun said that he wanted to have Shahid’s little Girl… soon he realized it might be aired in a wrong a way & he tried correcting his statement. But he made many foolish statements in the process. It was so spontaneous. Aaliya’s hysterical laugh made it worse for Varun.

Moving on to today’s post, I am going to talk about two lip balms from Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow range – Raspberry & Mixed Berry. Maybelline Baby Lips does not need any introduction. Above all, I like the fact that Maybelline comes with new & improved formula every year so that we do not get bored of the lip balms. The baby lips lip balms have evolved over a period of time becoming more intense in moisture & color. That’s the reason every girl hoards them.

Packaging

The Candy Wow range comes in a retractable pencil form which is convenient to carry & apply. The Raspberry version is packed inside a pink pencil while the Mixed Berry version is packed inside a purple pencil. The packaging color also indicates the tint. At the bottom of the chubby tube Candy Wow & the flavor is printed. No ingredient list is mentioned on the packaging.

Taste, Texture & Smell

Honestly the lip balms are tasteless, the flavor should be treated as shade name only & thank God for that. I do not want my lip balms to taste as any thing, be it a fruit. Though there is a nice & very mild fruity smell in the lip balms.

The lip balms are buttery wax in texture & does not make lips feel uncomfortable. There is no heavy feeling afterwords. One swipe gives enough moisture to my lips.

Since the lip balms are creamy in texture, they have tendency to melt down in high temperature. This melt down deforms the shape of the lip balm. Also the abundance of glossiness & color in the lip balms make them unfit to be worn under every kind of lipstick. I always prefer clear & non shiny lip balm underneath lip products.

Flavor – Raspberry

This is my favorite from the range. A natural pink/coral-ish tint with lots of glossy shine. It’s my go to lip balm.

Flavor – Mixed Berry

The shade gives purple tint to lips. It’s pretty bold color. I do not like purplish tints, but it is wearable after blotting off a bit.

Both shades wear off leaving a pink tint behind.

Pigmentation

Color pay off of these lip balms is decent, but to get perfect color on lips, 2-3 swipes are required, which also gives a lot of sheen to the lips.

Finish

The finish is very glossy. If you swipe the lip balm just once, there will be sheen but in case you desire more color on your lips, 2-3 swipes of the lip balms will also get you glossy lips with nice color pay off. It seems like you are wearing a lip gloss. I do not like this much glossiness for daily wear since I have oily skin. I would prefer glossy lips only with matte base on my face.

Longevity

The lip balm stays on lips for 2-3 hours, after which the moisture part as well as the tint is lost. The glossiness can be blotted off, it any ways, wears off after an hour or so. Lips stays soft & moisturized all day long.

Summary

Except the extra glossy finish that this range provides, everything else is just awesome. The color pay off is comparable to sheer lipsticks without any sticky feeling. The lip balms hydrates lips to great extent & heels chapped lips.
