Maybelline: Baby Lips - Review


I was at a local CVS picking up some nail polish colours and I stumbled across the Baby Lips products. Knowing that all of my friends that wore lip products had labelled this one off as their favourite, I knew I had to try one. Between Peppermint and Pink Punch, I decided that I would buy #25, Pink Punch. Probably one of my worst impulse buy choices.


Packaging and Design:
Just like a chapstick container, the Baby Lips container is more or less the same; the bottom portion of the tube twists up, allowing the product to come out. I've noticed that as long as the clear cap is on, you can't twist the product out. That's a very good thing for me; you wouldn't believe how many lip products I've ruined because of that. Overall, I actually really like the container for the product; it's very cute and modern.




Colour:
The product gives off a pinkish tone. It isn't a vibrant pink, it's more like... A subtle pink? It's enough to change the colour of your lips without having people question whether or not you're wearing something, aha. As you can see in the picture below, the product gives your lips a bit of a shimmer.

Swatch.

Bare lips.

On lips.

Smell:
The smell reminds me a lot like the EOS lip balm in fruit punch too, actually. The smell itself isn't overbearing; in fact, I can actually live with it. It smells less like fruit punch but more like... Artificial punch...? if that makes sense. @_@. I mentioned earlier that I chose this flavour as the one I wanted instead of peppermint, and well, I was right. Although I dislike the smell of peppermint, I feel like I can bear that one more than this fruit punch smell; I know I strayed away from my EOS lip balm because I couldn't necessarily stand the smell of it... But like I said, if I don't focus on it, it doesn't bother me. I reallyyyyy wanted the Cherry Me product though because of the smell. ;-;;

Usage:
True to its word, the Baby Lips product does moisturize your lips. I didn't have to reapply the product a lot - only one to three times throughout the day, and two of which were caused by myself. If you're looking for a bit of a long lasting product, then I would recommend you check out these. : ).

Final Thoughts?
I think I will purchase from this line again, except... I won't choose Pink Punch, aha. If you're looking for something that smells good and is great for your lips, then go for it!

Peripera: Peri's Tint Milk - Review



I'm a sucker for anything 2NE1 or IU related. With that in mind, how could anyone resist when they saw the packaging for these products? The artist that drew the girls is actually the same artist as the one who drew the music video for 2NE1's song, Hate You. I know, I know, the makeup for this line isn't even for 2NE1! Regardless of that fact, it was still cute - it was probably one of the most colourful things in the store I was at.  NOW ON TO THE REVIEW: Peri's Tint Milk in #2 Milky Peach.


Packaging:
It's so cute omg. It's size is roughly the same as the Hellow Bunny Perfume Stick, actually. It's very simple and not overdone, plus the size of it makes it easy to fit in the palm of your hand.

Same same~

Application and Usage:
Simple, just apply to your lips and blend away~ I like to dab it on the center of my bottom lip and spread outward. : ). The colour stays on for a few hours, then you'd have to reapply it. I'd say that as long as you don't eat and drink when wearing it, it'll stay on longer, aha. The product itself is liquidy/creamy-ish.

Swatch on hand.

Colour:
The colour is pretty natural (at least for me). It does give my lips that little hint of pink to it, but the product doesn't give me an overwhelming amount - the colour is just enough to make my lips look natural when I wear it out.

On lips.

Final Thoughts?
The product is lovely; it's actually the first lip tint I've ever gotten. I'll be sure to get the other colours next time I see them! I like how it, for the most part, is a bit long lasting and definitely something that I'll wear to school. I'm not one for lip products that isn't chapstick and lip balm, so the fact that I like something like this is a bit rare.
