Our order has arrived!

Finally!

After what seemed like forever our package we had ordered from LipBalmLand finally arrived. First off we have got to admit that the website didn't seem extremely legit to us, but everything worked out fine. The Baby Lips were due to arrive within 2 weeks, however it took them a little longer. We assume that that is because of the German customs though, as the import from Australia is strictly controlled here. Unfortunately we had to pay an extra sum of money to the German customs. It wasn't much, but we would have appreciated LipBalmLand letting us know about this in advance, since they do ship internationally and this probably would have occurred at previous orders.

Now on to the packaging and the actual products.

The Baby Lips were wrapped very neatly and secure and there were no scratches or anything of the sort on the product. We were also very kindly gifted a little lipbalm called 'Unicorn Farts'. So we are totally content with the handling and customer service of LipBalmLand.  
We had ordered the Baby Lips Mixed-Berry, Raspberry  and Cherry from the Candy Wow collection and also Berry Crush out of the Loves Color edition to complete said collection.

Updates on the ordered Baby Lips are coming soon and till then stay addicted :)

Update: Melon Mania

As we already told you three weeks ago, 2 of the 3 Baby Lips from the 'Vitamin Shot' very supposed to be available in Germany from August onwards. We went to all of the drugstores and pharmacies in our area, but we could only find Melon Mania, but not Peach Punch.We assume that Peach Pnch will not be stocked at all, as there was only ever one new space made free in the lip balm section f the pharmacies and a specific pharmacy responded to our inquiry of the restocking of the new Vitamin collection with the words "we will be stocking Melon Mania starting from August". That's a bit dissappointing, but what can you do except find cheap online sells :)

Melon Mania
Scent: melon
Colour: pink

Our favourite Baby Lips #1

We wanted to start writing about our personal favourite Baby Lips, so here we go staring off with Anti-Oxidant Berry. It's part of the Standard collection in the skinny tubes and available in stores in Australia, New Zealand and some Asian countries. It comes in a cute baby-blue and baby-pink coloured packaging, which really harmonises great. The colour of the actual balm is a faint, soft pink and its texture is creamy and rich, which makes it a very moisturizing balm. Maybelline claims that it is suppost to give "Instant 8hrs moisture" and "rejuvinated lips in one week". However good the moisturizing properties may be, it does not last 8 hours. At max it might last 3 hours, but that is totally fine with us, the berry, slighty bubbleyummy scent and cute packaging really make up for it. The second claim however we can confirm; in our opinion this Baby Lip actually make a difference to the appearance of the lips in a matter of one week.

You are best to try it out for yourself, and if you like most of us sadly can't pick this one up in your local pharmacy, you can get this at reasonable pricing on ebay or Amzon.

Collection overview: The Dr. Rescue Collection (Skinny Tubes)

One of the smallest collection of all Baby Lips is probably the Dr. Rescue one in the skinny tubes. Don't mix these up with the Dr. Rescue collection that is sold in the USA and most of Europe; that one contains six. But back to this collection. The two lip balms are very similar in their minty scent and rich, creamy texture. If you don't like minty scents, thn these balms are definetly not for you; the scent is pretty strong. But if you don't mind that, then you can enjoy these very moisturizing Baby Lips. They are only available in some Asian countries unfortiunately, but thank god for Ebay and Amazon!

Icy Mint
Scent: mint
Colour: light  blue

Fresh Mint
Scent: mint
Colour: light green

Collection overview: The Loves Color Collection

Those of you out there who love it colourful are going to love this collection, cause not only you love colour, Baby Lips love colour too haha. The Baby Lips Loves Color collection contains five lip balms in skinny tubes. They are mostly sold in Asian countries, Australia and New Zealand. Unfortunatly, we only have four of them in our collection at the moment, but the one still missing is already ordered and on the way to us as I type. So as soon as it gets here, we will update you on that one.
All of these lip balm have a really cue and colourful packaging, all add a nice not too faint but not too visible colour to the lips when applied and have a rich, creamy texture.

Coral Flush 
Scent: orange-lemon

Rose Addict

Collection addition and review: Melon Mania

Like we said in our last post about the Vitamin Shot collection, they were suppost to be available in Germany soon and lucky us were able to find Melon Mania! We picked up the last two from Budni for 2,45€ each, they unfortiunately only had Melon Mania, but of course we'll keep our eyes open for the other Baby Lip that was suppost to come out at the same time; Peach Punch. But now, on to the review of Melon Mania!

Melon Mania comes along in a cute pastel green packaging with pink writing. The actual lip balm has the same bright pink as the writing. Apllied on the lips it is very sheer though. The scent isn't that strong, but it smells of melon ice cream. The texture is a very light one, not too creamy and also not too "runny" which is perfect for these last summer weeks. On the packaging it describes the balm as a "moisturing lip balm with a hint of colour" tat is suppost to "wake up the beauty of your lips with sparkling fruity shades" that makes your "lips stay hydrated for 8 hours leaving them sweet and beautiful". Well, as always, about that "8 hours moisture" claim we can't really agree on that, calculate with a max of 3 hours, but the scent and looks of this cute Baby Lips totally make up for it!

Spotted: New Baby Lips Edition 2015 "Vitamin Shot"

In Italy Maybelline has recently launched a new edition of Baby Lips: the "Vitamin Shot" collection. Time to get excited! There are three Baby Lips in this colletion:

Melon Mania

Orange Burst

Peach Punch







Melon Mania was already part of the first Limited Edition and Orange Burst looks a lot like Coral Crush. However Peach Punch is completly new.
According to the Maybelline website, these Baby Lips have a "vitamin-enriched formula that reveals the natural beauty of your lip". They are only available in Italy at the moment and we could not yet find them online, but they are suppost to be in stores in Germany by the end of August. We'll keep you updated!
