Hello there, I have been wanting to do this post for quite a
while now. But never find the right time to do so. Today, I just had no excuse not to! Based on
the header, yes. Today’s post will be a comparison on drugstore lip balms. I
have a few with me, and I just had to buy them to do a special post for you
guys out there! The plan on posting this has been delayed, for about 2 months.
Eep!
There’s three lip balms that I have in hand to be exact.
Listed as per below,
1.
Maybelline’s Baby Lips Color in Berry Crush
2.
Nivea’s Fruity Shine in Cherry
3.
Mentholatum’s Lip Ice in Strawberry
Now, they all come from different brands, also they have
their own specialties. I got them that way on purpose. So I could see what each
could do best. Shall we start, on Maybelline’s Baby Lips being the first on the
list?
Maybelline’s Baby Lips Color in Berry Crush. Okay, to be
honest out of the three that I got. I thought I will be liking this the least.
Why? I thought, Maybelline would not be producing good lip balms knowing the
main focus of products from them are on Mascaras, Liners, and Lipsticks. And
suddenly, this baby right here, wowed me! I cannot lie, this is the one I have
on my vanity. Also the one I would apply every time I’m done moisturizing my
face. Sometimes, once I am done with my make up, I would actually skip the
lipstick as the Maybelline’s Baby Lips Color since it is already naturally
tinted on the lips! Which is why, I love this more,it works as a hydrating and
tinted lip balm and also it smells amazing! That’s like a 3 in 1 combo kind of
thing right? This lip balm retail at RM 8.40 only!
Nivea’s Fruity Shine in Cherry. I got this just because,
I’ve always wanted a lip balm that smells like cherry! I know how silly. But I
also heard, that Nivea is good at what they produce. So I thought, why not
right? When I first applied this, out of the three I thought this is the most
easiest to apply with. As it is super moisturizing! As you can see on the
picture above, the colour of this lip balm is in deep red. Pretty right?
However, the colour does not pay off. It’s not tinted like the Maybelline one.
This is just a normal sheer lip balm with a hint of red. And that’s about it. I
would only wear this on certain days, where I don’t leave the house but still
needs hydrations on my lips! Other than that, if you’re looking for a good
moisturizing lip balm you should go for this one! Nivea gives moisture at its
best! This lip balm retails at RM 10.90
.
Mentholatum’s Lip Ice in Strawberry. Now, this one was the
last choice out of the three. I just got this to see if it is any good. This is
just a sheer, lip balm. Not a hint or a tint in it if you get what I mean.
After 2 weeks, of testing this. I did not like it as much as the others. I feel
like, it darkens my lips in a way. I don’t know if that is just me though. What
I like about this is that it has this ice cold feeling on the lips once
applied. Like how it mentioned on the product itself “Lip Ice”. I feel like this doesn’t suit me much. Even
if it is just a sheer lip balm. I also feel like, this would fit school kids
who needs hydration but does not want to show colour at all. This retails at RM
5.00! Reasonable right? Amazing, how a lip balm could still cost RM 5.00 these
days! Great deal though, Metholatum! Kudos!
And there you have it, comparison on all three! I hope you
enjoy this post, and do let me know if you feel differently on these lip balms!
Much Love,
Aleen A
