Maybelline Baby Lips Bloom - Color Changing Lip Balm - Review, Swatches, Price

If you've ever used a Maybelline lip balm you would love this one from the brand as well. Maybelline Baby Lips Bloom is a new entrant in the market which brings a color changing technology into your lip balm.

Maybelline Baby Lips Bloom - Review, Swatches, Price

Maybelline Baby Lips Bloom come in a slim stick form. There are two variants in the market - Pink Bloom and Peach Bloom.

The lip balm is a colorless stick but changes into a variant shade of pink or peach depending on the stick you use.

On my lips the lip balm gives a very nice pale shade of color just enough to cover the pigmentation. 

I'm wearing the peach bloom lip balm on my lips. The first pic shows my bare lips. The second pic was taken just after applying the peach bloom lip balm and in the last pic was taken after a couple of minutes. As you can see the color has intensified. The color is just noticeable on my lips and my lips appear very moisturised and healthy.

Maybelline Baby Lips Spiced Up - Tropical Punch and Spicy Cinnamon, Review, Swatches, Price

If you remember my old post on the original Maybelline Baby Lips, you would know how much I loved the Rose Addict. Maybelline Baby Lips Spiced Up collection is a range of deeper shades of the lip balm which add nice colour to your lips while the formula keeps your lips smooth and soft. The shades have been specifically created to suit the Indian skin tone.

Maybelline Spiced Up Baby Lips comes in vibrant colours to match the colour of the lip balm inside. The lip balm comes in a twist up stick form. It is easy to keep in your pocket as well. 

I tried two variants from the Spiced Up range - Spicy Cinnamon and Tropical Punch. In my picture on Instagram I actually wore both of these colours layered on top of each other!

The lip balms are also enriched with SPF 20 to protect your lips.

The Nature's Co. Lip Pop Black Currant Review, Price

The Nature's Co. has launched a range of lip balms call Lip-Pops. I got the Lip-Pop Black Currant before christmas and have been using it since. The lip balm comes in  a regular twist up form and is a lovely purple in color. On the lips however it goes on clear. It has the most amazing fragrance of black currants. I am totally addicted to it!

The Nature's Co. Lip Pop Black Currant Review, Price

This lip balm is 100% vegan with natural oils and butters that protect the lips in winters. I have used this as a base for my lipstick all through the winters. And I don't mind reapplying during the day - as I said I'm addicted to the fragrance.

What's In Your Beauty Bag

This post is part of a fun contest by Healthkart where I've been tagged to post about #WhatsInYourBeautyBag. So I thought why not go ahead and show you what I cannot do without and always carry with me specially during summers.

Whats In Your Beauty Bag

Now this is not a regular Whats In Your Beauty Bag post. The challenge here is to pick 5 products which cost a total of Rs 1500 - so I have to make sure I don't exceed the given budget. This again is interesting because a lot of times we are not sure what we should buy when we are on a tight budget.

I hope my list helps you in choosing some good must have products without burning a whole in your wallet (You can click the name of the product to go to the website for purchasing)

1. Votre Toner, Pore Shrink
A good toner gives a nice clean base to your skin. I also use this after washing my face to ensure all my makeup is gone and my skin feels fresh.

Price: Rs 360 (for 100ml)

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Cherish - Review, Swatch and FOTD

Everywhere you look today you will see at-least one post raving about the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain. The cute packaging, the lovely colors and all the claims are sure to draw you towards this 'chubby' pencil.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Cherish

I have the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in the shade Cherish. Its a blue based light pink shade which we will talk about in a bit. The lip balm stain itself has a peppermint fragrance which is not too strong on the lips (but if you have a very sensitive nose you will get bothered by the fragrance until it dies off in about 10  minutes) The stain needs to be applied to well exfoliated lips else it shows up patchy on the lips. It does feel cool on application because of the peppermint I think.

The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains come in thick pencil forms. The pencil is of the same color as the product inside. The end of the pencil is silver in color while the cap is the same as the rest of the body. It is a retractable pencil so you never need to sharpen it.
