New York Baby Lips Glow Lip Balm, My Pink, 0.13 oz.

[bzymom's freeloading daughter here] I bought this hoping it would be like the Tarte Energy balm stick they used to have years back, which was just a pH adjusting lip balm in a very similar pink. This is THE SAME thing and so much less expensive. Highly recommend. It adjusts to a bright-ish pink with a soft sheen, nothing too pigmented that you need to look in a mirror to put on like a traditional lipstick but somehow still present, being perfectly in the middle of lipstick and balm. It is not has hydrating as a straight lip balm, however, but I find that is true with most pH adjusting lip products. I cocktail my application: putting on a layer of this followed by normal balm to get hydrated lips that show up on my pale face. It's a great product!

I really don’t know what all these reviews are talking about with “cotton candy flavor” because I’ve never had a babylips product that tasted like anything... that being said, babylips lip balms always smell really nice and this one has a sugary scent to it. I like that it is glossy on the lips without being sticky, and that it adjusts to your skin’s pH. It goes on clear, and adjusts to a complementary pink. My pink is very subtle and makes my lips look a little healthier. This one is called “glow” for a reason- it makes the lips look bright and radient on the skin without being an unnatural color. Great for a subtle or natural look on the lips, ideal for those that want a slight little oomph without having to actually put on lipstick or to reapply.

I already love the shine and feel of the crystal clear version of baby lips, now that I've tried this glow balm, I love the same shine and feel but also love the extra bit of color they dye my lips. Weirdly enough, though they add the merest barely perceptible hint of color, it actually makes a huge difference when I put lipstick on over the top, it brightens up the shade to make it appear quite different. I'd been on the hunt for the perfect fuschia-red lipstick and was continually disappointed by how brick-esh or dull they all looked - but now that I've lightly 'dyed' my lips with this glow balm - all my red lipsticks have the perfect bright intense retro red that I was trying for. and my lips are SUPER moist and soft when I prep them with this before putting the matte lipstick on.

Pros - Soft application - Gives my lip a hint of pink and shine (for that effortless natural look) - Light scent of vanilla? It's nice and subtle - Have to reapply about every 4 hours for the color (which I think is reasonable) Cons - Not very moisturizing as my lips felt dry within a couple of hours In all, I would get this for the on the whim subtle pink coloring. I enjoy that it is subtle and easy to apply. Do make sure to be careful when you apply the lip balm as the coloring can get on the area around your lip!

Really smooth,good price, keeps my lips soft and not chapped,leaves a nice little shimmer on my lips but not overpowering and not that noticeable

As for color, I have not noticed too much of one except a little bit of a flushing. I don't know if that's due to the moisturizing effect or for the reason advertised. It's very moisturizing, It's done a good job for chapped lips when I would otherwise need to use something medicated. If you happen to enjoy the scent of Cotton Candy, this is it! The scent is long lasting too. There's not much of a taste. I've been using this since April 2018 and as the picture shows I've got over half of a tube left so it sure takes you a long way for it's price.

I have tried the other Baby Lips products (I love the clear one) so I thought this would be great since a pop of color is nice. However, this one does not moisturize. Also it’s more of a color, not a tint. No point in sending it back, I’ll use it up because I don’t like to waste but I’ll have to use a moisturizing balm prior to putting this on. Sad.

Good quality and smell good

Great product x

It’s way too expensive when you found that it’s just an ordinary chapstick. Don’t buy!

It is great. Like s pink lipgloss.

Really gives soft lips n long lasting

I love Maybeline Baby Lips & this gives me a lovely shimmer to my lips but also soft & nourshing
