Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Lip Balm: Strike a Rose

          Maybelline is a well known drug store brand and I have used their cosmetics in the past. I think it was last year that they launched baby lips lip balm and I bought the one with SPF. I bought it because I want a lip balm that can protect my lips from uv rays and I've been using this lip balm all the time. 

          Maybelline introduced the baby lips electro lip balm with very bright colors not long after the launch of baby lips. I finally went shopping last week and decided that I want a bright lip color. I was walking down the cosmetics isle and found the baby lips collection. The electro lip balms really strike my eyes and so I got the strike a rose color. This color looked like a neon pink and I was hoping that the color would the same when I apply it. Right after I came back to my place, I immediately applied the lip balm on my lips. My first reaction was disappointment. I saw that this color is very similar to a color that I already own and is not as bright as it looks on my lips. So, I decided that it was not a great purchase. 

         Yesterday, I applied this lip balm again, but swiped it across my lips a few more times. This time around the pink color popped out more and didn't looked bad at all. Maybe the first time when I used it, I only applied one layer on so the color couldn't pop out. So, now I feel slightly better about my purchase. Also, this lip balm smells like berries (what a plus). My goal now is to try more bright colors (maybe I'm watching too much Korean dramas...).
