Maybelline Baby Lips

Just about everyone and their stylish cat has one of these fellas, Maybelline baby lips. They took America by storm, ladies and gents all over the UK went mad for them and now they are in Ireland and us Irish folk seem to only have good things to say about them too. So I felt a bit left out and decided I'd have a sneaky visit to Boots and pick one up. 

These come in cute coloured packaging thats very girly and a little childish almost. There are 6 of there lip balms, 3 are pigmented and 3 are colourless. I went for Cherry Me which is a redish tint and smells just like yummy cherries. If you happen to taste it as many people will - I mean come on your lips are covered in the stuff, no judging! - you will be seriously put off, it tastes awful. Other then that the colour pay off is ok but I wouldn't be wearing it on a night out, opting for a stain or even lip gloss. 

With and then without the lip balm

I've been wearing baby lips for about 2 weeks now and I haven't noticed any difference to my lips, they are no more nourished or hydrated then normal, nor or they any worse then when I first started using it. Overall its a bit 'meh' for me. I like it and will get others to try them out but its not a big wow product for me at €4.49 a pop.

I am giving away one of these baby lips in my Halloween giveaway.

Huge Boots And Pound Shop Haul

As you can see, I went a tiny bit mad the other day in Boots and bought some essentials.. And then some lusted after goodies I've been wanting to try for yonks. First off was a bee line to the shampoo and condition section as I am nearly out of my normal Boots €1.95 stuff. It was 3 for 2 so I got a lovely smelling Dove set and an Aussie deep conditioner that I tried years ago and loved ever since. (Benefits of having showers at friends houses you see.) I got some Boots own brand chamomile and lemon balm shampoo as it was cheap as chips and smells lovely. 

I finally caved in and got Maybelline baby lips in cherry, I really can not wait to try it out! I picked up buy one get one half price cotton pads as I'm nearly all out and repurchased my Natural Collection powder in two colours because again they were on offer and I want to see which colour is the best now that I'm using a different foundation. I also managed to finally find and repurchase 17's eye shadow trio in metallic toffee (see it here in action!) It was harder to find then 

I needed to get some more Vitamin C tablets as I'm all out and really don't want to get one of my seasonal horrible colds, ugh! I got some Impulse into glamour (oh it smells so good!) and a little roll on Vaseline with aloe just to try it out. Hair pins grow legs and walk off on me so I threw in a pack and to finish off the crazy Boots rampage I picked up a packet of exfoliating mitts. 

Lastly I saw that a pound shop had all its Halloween stock in and even dragged my mother in I was that excited! I came away with a little Frankenstein and a ghost, two sets of spider earrings and my favourite thing ever - confetti and glitter!
