Maybelline's Lots of Lashes Mascara and Baby Lips Lip Balm Review

First of all I want to say that I'm a Bzzagent from bzzagent.com I got samples from a campaign I have with them to try Baby Lips Lip Balm and Lots of Lashes Mascara. This is completely my honest opinion on the products. Ok here we go!




The first product I will talk about will be the Lots of Lashes Mascara. I received mascara in the color veryblack I had tried great lashes mascara from Maybelline before and I didn't like it. I was looking forward to trying out their new mascara. Here's the information I received exactly from the bzzguide:
  • America's #1 mascara formula has a new innovative applicator brush – The Great Little Grabber!
  • Easily reaches the inner and outer corners of the eye
  • Builds your lash look with no clumps
  • Available in three washable shades 
  • Available at mass retailers for $6.40
Lots of lashes mascara has a similar packaging as the original great lashes mascara. The applicator is definitely different, it's a plastic pink heart shaped brush it's really cute.
  • Likes: the applicator gets every single one of my lashes,  makes them longer.
  • Dislikes: sometimes it clumps when I apply more than two coats and flakes, I had to clean my face a couple times because little black particles fell on my face. Some went  in my eyes and I wear contacts so it was very uncomfortable. I also dont like that its not water proof. I got water splashed on my face and my eyelashes went down and the mascara started running. Wouldn't recommend it for special events.
  Overall this mascara is ok. I would  buy it again but  its not my favorite.

Ok the second products I tried were the Baby Lips Lip Balms I gotta say I was very surprised of how the product was. The packaging is ofcourse super colorful and appealing. It reminds me of when I was younger and had all this play makeup.
Information that came in the BzzGuide:
  • Renews lips to their natural condition in four weeks
  • Combines eight hours of hydration with an optional color tint
  • Available in 2 clear varieties (Quenched and Peppermint) and 4 tinted varieties (Cherry Me, Pink Punch, Grape Vine and Peach Kiss)
  • Clinically proven to provide comfort and relief to stressed, dry skin
  • Protects against damage from harmful UVA/UVB rays
  • Available at mass retailers for $3.99
Anyways the balm itself goes on very smoothly, it's not like some  that in cold weather it's hard to apply. It has SPF 20 so thats definitely a plus and it's suppose to make your lips soft.  I didn't have to reapply unless I was to wipe my mouth or kissed my boyfriend. What I liked most about these balms was that some had tints of color. I'm a sucker for lip products and when I saw that some had colors I was super excited.  I got 3 tinted ones in my bzzkit and 2 clear ones to try out. I'm gonna do a quick overview on each one of them and swatches for the tinted ones.

The clear ones I used mostly for when I woke up or when I was going to sleep. I got to try number 05 in Quenched and Number 010  in peppermint.


Quenched: 
  1. Smell-very faint fruity smell.
  2. Taste- no taste
Not one of my favorites, it didn't seem much different from other balms and chapsticks I already have.

Peppermint:
  1. Smell- peppermint.
  2. Taste- no taste
  3. Feel- kinda tingled when I put it on it might have just been me though :P I liked this one, out of the clear ones I used this one the most.

Before any tinted lip balms:







Cherry Me number 015.







  1. Smell- cherry.
  2. Taste-no taste
  3. Color- a sheer  red.                                                                                                                     This was my favorite out of all of them it made my lips red and they didn't look overdone. I will definitely buy another one after I finish the one I have.


Pink Punch Number 025.


  1. Smell- I can't really tell the smell.
  2. Taste-none.
  3. Color-hot pink just a bit of tint, sheer. I like this as an alternative for hot pink lipstick. It's not too much but it adds a pop of color to your lips and you can tell you were going for hot pink lips. I could easily build up for a brighter hot pink.

Last but not least I got Peach Kiss number 030.
You can barely see the sparkles.
  1. Smell- kinda peachy.
  2. Taste-none.
  3. Color-nude, some glitter, barely visible. 
This one I liked for those days I want to show I have something on my lips but that is not something heavy like a clear lipgloss . It's pretty for a nude lip.

My lips did feel softer after application and  they do stay moisturized. Really liked the products overall I will be buying more lip balms after I finish these ones.
