Maybelline: Baby Lips - Menthol

Greetings to my fellow bloggers! I couldn't help but do a quick review on a recent purchase I made on Feb. 10. I was still in Cebu at the time, enjoying my family Chinese New Year trip when I spotted this gem at the mall "Shoemart"(correct me if I'm wrong). Recently, I haven't been able to find the menthol Baby Lips in all the Watsons and Mannings and Sasa stores that I have searched! So I made my lucky purchase in Cebu, aka: paradise.

For those of you who don't know, there are 6 original variations of Baby Lips. Over time, they had other limited editions of Baby Lips and other editions of it (Pink Glow, Baby Lips COLOR etc.) But I'll be reviewing one variation from the original collection. But in Hong Kong, there are only 4 original colors :( 

But for now, I will just be reviewing the Menthol Baby Lips, the green and turquoise one at the far left. 

Price: 

I picked this up at about 89 Pesos, so that's a little less than HKD $20, which is perfectly reasonable for how much product you get and the quality 

Price Rating: 5/5 

Packaging: 

One word. AMAZING. I absolutely love how Maybelline designed the packaging of Baby Lips - it's so hip and retro, with the Juicy Couture looking font and the splash of the fantastic color combinations. Not to mention the satisfying "click" sound when you close the lid. Well built and super chic! 

Packaging rating: 5/5 

Product: 

Since this was the craze in 2011 and 2012, there was no doubt that I had high expectations from Baby Lips. To my astonishment, Baby Lips lived up to its expectations as a Super Star Lip Balm. It applies on my lip with a smooth and creamy sensation, leaving my lips begging for more. On the bright side, it also gives my lips a moist and shiny glaze. Though it claims to last for 8 hours, it only lasted for 2 for me. But maybe that is just personal preference. 

As you can see, the stick looks baby pink. But really, the lip balm itself is clear (which was what I wanted). Also, it has a relaxing minty sensation and it smells like menthol or eucalyptus candies. Or really strong mint. 

Product Rating: 5/5 

Final Words: 

This lip balm is THE LIP BALM. This broke my scale as a lip balm, congratulations,  Maybelline! Yes - I would definitely repurchase this and Yes - I would recommend it to a friend! 

Pros: Packaging, Amount Of Product, Product itself, EVERYTHING 

Cons: None 

Overall Rating: 5/5 

Ok. It's 10 minutes past midnight and this is seriously my last review of the day. I'll see you guys tomorrow with more interesting things!
