Don't get me wrong, I'm not a complete Baby Lips hater. I actually really like the tinted ones in the collection, mainly because I think they are great for an effortless pop of colour on the go. All three of the colour ones are super pigmented and will be perfect for Summer when you just want to throw something on. Each one has a different scent and they all smell amazing. In terms of scent, Pink Punch definitely wins.
After deciding Baby Lips just weren't cutting it for me, I decided to repurchase a tried and tested favourite of mine, Nivea lip balms. These are the lip balms that I always seem to turn to when my lips are dry or cracked, as they are so nourishing and hydrating.
I bought three from the whole collection, one of which was coloured. It leaves a pale pink sheen on the lips, which is really good just to throw on (As you may have noticed, the pink one isn't in the picture, purely because I seem to have lost it when I went shopping last week). The other two are just clear lip balms, which I like to use when my lips aren't looking their best, or when they're just feeling slightly dry.
Nivea lip balms also smell amazing, however in terms of coloured balms, I have to say I favour Baby Lips as they have a wider range and a realy good colour pay off.
Overall, I have to side with Nivea in terms of how moisturising they are. However, I'm not a complete Baby Lips basher, as I would always chose them over any other balm when I want an effortless pop of colour.

I love the Nivea balms but have never tried Baby Lips as I've heard mixed reviews! I mght pick a baby lips up just to add a bit of colour like you said but use Nivea for moisture

DeleteI haven't tried Nivea but I reckon both of them are very similar. But the Maybelline packaging is so cute but I agree with you, they are not as moisturising as I would have liked
ReplyDeletesplasheswithfabulosity.blogspot.com.au
You should definitely try the Nivea! xx
DeleteNever tried the Nivea ones, but think I'll have to now, since I'm a lip balm addict as well. Great post! XD
