EOS Visibly Soft // Vanilla Mint + Coconut Milk

Today I will be talking about the new EOS visibly soft (vanilla mint + coconut milk).

To start off, how adorable are packaging? I feel like they are actually easier to hold with this packaging. The colours, design are absolutely on point.

I am an EOS lover, I use them all the time, have them everywhere. So I'm always excited when they have new products. So for the difference between the original and these I would say is that they go on smoother and have a slightly different texture. I also feel like they last longer. Also they are easier to apply.



The smell are more on the sweet side and subtle. 
Vanilla Mint:  Smells minty with a subtle hint of vanilla - my favourite!
Coconut Milk: Milky coconut fragrance




Overall, I think they are great products: goes on smoother, easier to apply, great smell, cute packaging... what's not to love?

Maybelline Electro Baby Lips in Strike a rose

The second Electro Baby Lips to enter my collection. Strike a rose. A sheer coral-pink. Compared to the other one I have (Oh! Orange; review right here), this one is way more pigmented and moisturizing. My lips feel really soft after applying this one. For anyone who isn't familiar with baby lips, they are a tinted lip balm that comes with great shades, scents and packaging.

Baby Lips are the perfect tinted lip balms to add in your purse for the Summer as they aren't as heavy as lipstick. As they are lip balms the staying power isn't the best, but for balms I think it's good enough!

I can't quite explain what it smells like cause I have no idea, honestly. I know it smells like something familiar but I can't quite put my finger on it. Strike a rose is way different than other Baby Lips' formula in my opinion, the formula feels way more pigmented and moisturizing. The other ones feels more dry.


Strike a rose is one of those flashy colors that you can wear on a daily basis. 

The Electro Baby Lips' packaging are so cute! Specially this one. The coral-pink writing looks so cute against the black. 

What I love:

  • Pigmented
  • More moisturizing 
  • Leaves my lips soft
  • Color
  • Packaging
What I don't like:
  • Staying power isn't the best

Here's a swatch of Strike a rose:

REVIEW & SWATCHES | Maybelline Baby Lips

Hi beauties! Today I will be doing a review on the Maybelline Baby Lips. I am sure that you've seen blogger/gurus rave about these! As you are probably all familiar, they are a sheer tinted lip balm with wonderful smells and cute packaging. They have 6 original ones: 2 sheers, 4 with a tint (yes, I have all the 6 originals). They also have some limited editions one.

As I mentioned, the packaging is ADORABLE. For the name, Baby Lips, they really do make your lips baby soft while giving color to your lips without being too much. Those lovely lipbalms makes it seem like your wearing lipgloss without being sticky. The 6 original ones (6 first ones in the picture) contains spf 20, and I believe the limited edition ones doesn't contain spf (atleast the two I have don't). These are perfect for the upcoming summer, because they have spf and are really light and hydrating on the lips.

They are really easy to work with and they apply nicely. They are thin but they do not feel greasy on the lips.

Pigmentation: In the original Baby Lips they are two clear ones. The rest have a tint to them. They are not pigmented like lipsticks that's for sure. They are called lipbalm for a reason, I would call them balm with a tint. Some are more pigmented than others. The most pigmented one out of the one I have, I would say is Fruit Punch. The least pigmented I would say is Coral Crush, on my lips its almost inexistant; in the tube it looks super bright as Grape Vine, that looks like a super dark purple which in fact are not that pigmented. So don't be scared of the color in the tube, cause they are way more sheer on the lips.

Scents: One thing that Baby Lips is known for is their scents. And yes, infact, they have lovely smells. I'm not the best at describing scent especially with words so I won't even try. But the smells are quite similar to what they are named after like Fruit Punch, well, smells like Fruit Punch. The clear Baby Lips also have a smell Quenched smells wonderful; I can smell some lemon; I'm not a big fan of lemon but there's something about Quenched that makes me happy. Peppermint smells like well, strong peppermint which I absolutely adore.

How long do they stay on the lips?: This one is kinda of a bummer. They certainly do not last all day. They last about 3-4 hours for me. But on the positive side, it's really easy to apply anywhere/anytime without a mirror, since the application is super easy. Don't be scared of ending up with clown lips with those! ahah!



Original Baby Lips: 
Pink Punch: Pigmented cool tone pink
Cherry Me: Warm pink
Grape Vine: Dark purple wine
Peach Kiss: Shimmery nude on the frosty side
Quenched and Peppermint: Clear *not on picture above*

Limited Edition Baby Lips:
Yummy Plummy: Brownish and plum shade
Coral Crush: Bright red orange

I love them all, but if I had to choose favorites, I would pick: Cherry Me, Peach Kiss and Yummy Plummy.

To conclude, I am super happy about my Baby Lips collection. For about 3 dollars, you really cannot go wrong with these. Super hydrating, nice smell, spf20, cutest packaging and nice colors. What more could you ask for?
