SHINE Beauty Guru: Mabeline Baby Lips

Emma Mae

For November I received a sample of Mabelline's Baby Lips in Peach Kiss. I normally shy away from colored glosses or lipstick in general. Because my friends, I have lip lines. These "lines" are closer to being cracks, crevices or canyons where color tends to settle or feather in. While I am not ready for granny panties, I remember how as a teenager, I would watch in horror as Miss Eunice's red lipstick settled into her lines when she was singing in the Sunday Choir. Seriously! I had to drop out of the choir, because I would stare at her mouth and forget the words. That coupled with the fact I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

I was hesitant to use the product. It sat on my bathroom vanity for a week before I put on the first application. I fell in love instantly and have been kicking myself for not putting it on the minute I opened the package.

Mabelline claims that Baby Lips will provide 8 hours of hydration and SPF 20 sun protection. I have to agree with this claim. My lips are smooth and silky for the entire day. Mabelline claims that after 4 weeks of use your lips are visibly renewed and reborn. While I have not used the product for 4 straight weeks, I can tell you I noticed an improvement starting with the initial application on day one. Now after 2 weeks of use, I can see that my lips appearance has changed. My lips weren't dry but they weren't smooth. They are smoother.

Mabelline states they are using a exclusive lip renew formula with SPF20. I don't work for Mabelline and do not have access to their labs but I can tell you what is in this formula. MAGIC!

My sample of Peach Kiss, glides on and smells like peaches. The tint is a soft shimmery nude. It does not feather, it does not settle into lips lines. For approximately $3.50, ladies, snap it up in all 6 tints and scents;
Quenched, a clear shimmer with subtle citrus scent.
Peach Kiss, nude shimmer, peach scent
Cherry Me, cheery shimmer and scent
Grapevine, purplish shimmer and grade scent
Peppermint, warm glow, think moonlight, and peppermint
Pink Punch, pink shimmer and hint of strawberry

Would I purchase this product? Yes! For $3.50 you get smooth soft lips, SPF20 protection and can wear COLOR without fear of bleeding, seeping or feathering. (I bought Pink Punch and love the soft pink color.)
