Review: Maybelline Baby Lips

I've been waiting for the Maybelline Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip Balm to arrive in Canadian retail stores for quite some time now. Finally they have arrived at my local Shoppers Drug Mart! I was ecstatic the day I laid eyes on them, only because of the great reviews I've watched and read about. I got them on sale for $5.50, they are regularly priced at $7 or so. Quite pricey compared to US pricing. I purchased two, one in Cherry Me and the other in Pink Punch. I've been testing them out for the past week, and so far they haven't won me over just yet.

These are not heavily pigmented lip balms, but they do add a wash of colour to your lips. They glide on nice and smooth, providing a good amount of moisture to the lips. Pink Punch is very pigmented, almost similar to a bubble gum pink. Cherry Me is not pigmented as I thought it would be. It adds a touch of red to the lips. It gives a bit of life and lift to your lips without being overpowering like a lipstick would be. 

It could be because of the winter season in Canada that my lips are more dry than usual, but it doesn't provide me personally with the 8 hour moisture and renewal as advertised. I wouldn't essentially replace my regular lip balm or chap sticks with Baby Lips, but I do like it for the sheer wash of colour and smooth effortless application. For $5.50, I don't think I'll be running out to purchase a few more just yet.

Do you already own any Baby Lips lip balms?
What shades do you own and how do you like them?
