Maybelline Baby Lips - Dr Rescue Lip Balm in Soothing Sorbet

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my thoughts about the new (or relatively new) lip balms from the Maybelline Baby Lips line. These are the Dr. Rescue Medicated Lip Balms, which is medicated to help hydrate your lips, help heal cold sores if you have any, and provide a sheer amount of tint.

The one I picked up a few days ago was the Soothing Sorbet shade.

Here is the swatch of the Lip Balm (on the back of my hand):
Top to Bottom: 1 Swipe, 2 swipes, several swipes.

You can see in the swatch that it takes quite a bit of layering to get some amount of pigmentation. Also, something worth noting is that there is a scent to them of Menthol. That's a part of the medicated aspect of it, but the smell does go away after a couple of minutes. 

Pros:
  • Very hydrating, I felt after first application that my lips were not as chapped and dry
  • Comes in six shades
  • Lives up to its claims on hydration and healing your lips
  • They are sheer, depends on what you are looking for though...
  • Comes in sealed packaging so you know that no one messed with it or touched it
Cons:
  • It has a menthol smell (but it does not linger on your lips)
  • They were really sheer 
  • As people that carry around an unnecessary amount of lip products... we will probably lose our lip balms haha :P
Have you tried any of the other shades from this Dr. Rescue line? What are your opinions on them or do you prefer another brand for hydrating lip balms? :)

Thanks for reading,
Bianca
