These lip balms are advertised by Maybelline to hydrate your lips for 8 hours as well as visibly renewing them in up to 4 weeks. The balms also contain SPF20 which is always a bonus.
In terms of pigmentation, I found that the particular shades I purchased were surprisingly pigmented for a lip balm. The shades that I have are Peach Kiss and Pink Punch. The Pink Punch is sheer without shimmer and Peach Kiss is more on the shimmery/frosty side. They both look lovely on the lips.
The balms glide onto the lips really nicely. The consistency is not too heavy or too thick and it feels light on the lips. They aren't too sticky feeling on the lips either and they do actually feel moisturizing although I would not say it is exactly for 8 hours.
Both of these lip balms have a really delicious scent to them that isn't too overpowering. The packaging is very cute and the sticks retract fully into the tube which is great because you can avoid knocking them or breaking them when you pop the lid back on.
All in all, I really like these lip balms and I would definitely repurchase them. I can definitely see why they are so popular and for me they are a great alternative to a lip gloss or a lipstick if you don't want anything that is too heavy or perhaps want something that can still look nice but be nourishing too.
I would reccommend you try these lip balms if you haven't already! They retail at around £2.99 in your local Boots, Superdrug and some supermarkets.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this post!
