Hey Everyone,
Sorry for being slightly MIA as I was unwell. But I am alive n kicking’ now and couldn’t wait to write my next review.
After Rati’s review of these babies, I was absolutely itching to pick up a few. So, I went searching and to my surprise found them at my local store.I bought 2 of them and I am going to review the one that I have started using. It’s called wait for this Pink Lolita! Doesn’t the name sound completely raunchy and Shakti Kapoor-ish? Yuck! Let’s see how I liked it in spite of the completely disgusting name.
Price:
The colored ones are Rs.150 and the neutral ones are 125.
Shade:
When I swatched all the shades on my hand, this one completely stood out and looked the most tinted on me. It’s a pretty rosy pink that just about shows up on the lips a few minutes after application and gives a pretty rosy tint. I find it very natural and pretty. Although I think being a balm, this shade is not pigmented enough to show up on pigmented lips or those with dusky tones. I have to swipe it on my lips a couple of times for the tint to show up. But I am not complaining since I bought a lip balm and not a lipstick.
Packaging:
I think I have never loved the packaging on a lip balm more than this. It’s absolutely perfect and girly and I love the vibrant colors and the font on these.
Texture:
What has struck me about these lip balms is that they are so super-smooth and easy to apply. They just glide on the lips like butter. In spite of having SPF 16 or something, these don’t leave any sort of whitish-cast behind. They are completely non-flaky unlike some other lip balms that have SPF like the Lotus Herbals. It’s not very heavy and doesn’t feel like its sitting on my lips. My lips look and feel really soft and healthy with this on and the faint pink flush it gives (God, didn’t that sound like a TV commercial?)
Swatches and LOTD:
Pros of Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm–Pink Lolita
I have listed all the pros above. What’s better is I can actually stand the mild fruity fragrance! Apart from that I think it lives up to its claims of baby lips. I can feel that because after being sick my lips are hopelessly chapped and flaky. This has taken care of such severely chapped and flaky lips like nobody’s business!
Cons of Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm–Pink Lolita:
Well it’s a little weird to say I have ‘Pink Lolita’ on my lips. But you see, I am just messing with you, there is absolutely no con that I could find for this.
IMBB Rating:
20/5
Overall Verdict:
If you have not heard of them yet, or have not bought at least one of these babies, then please go back to hibernation. I am going to pick up each and every one of these and would highly recommend it. As far as this shade goes, if you are fair to medium, this is a gorgeous tint to pick.

I love your review and I love Maybelline! 🙂
I was just wondering if there is a nice coral/orange shade in this? I’d get off my lazy ass and check at my local store then. 😀
Abinaya check the links above ur comment
rati has revud two and one is coral 🙂
Got it! Thanks! 🙂
You know when I was in class 3, we used to get these lollipops called Dr. Lolita or something. 😀 It was locally made by some supermarket 😀 Strawberry and raspberry were flavors available 😀 lol!
This is my first encounter with Lolita in makeup stuff, so I was a little taken aback…ROFL! 😀
hahaha shakti karpoor-ish
I was laffing hard u know
😛 i shud go into hibernation 😛
Neha believe me, I could actually hear Shakti Kapoor say Lolita in his gross raunchy tone in my head when I read the name 😀
You havent tried one yet? *gasps*
W O W! these are still not available where i stay 🙁 sob sob :'( can’t wait to rush home for my vacs and grab a few of them 😀 lovely lip swatch Aarbee :* n gorrrrrrrrrrgeous pink 🙂
Awww, thanks Aps! They will soon flood all the stores I think, so dont worry. Happy vacays 😀
Love this shade Aarbee..
I knowabt the novel character Lolita 😉 but shakti kapoor-ish ??wats dat ..?
ROFL…Rama Shakti Kapoor is this weird h*rny sounding villain in Hindi movies and one of his trademark dialogues is ‘Lolita’ before robbing the innocent heroine’s virtue *wink wink*
Thanks btw 😀
ROFL…
ok lolita is scary! but the shade is so gorgeous and your lips look lovely!
y moderation? 🙁
Thanks so much Parita!
Such a Raunchy name :P. Lovely lip swatch Aarbee 🙂
I knowwww…Thanks Shweta 😀
Great review Aarbee… :).. I just grabbed it last week and have been religiously using it… I just love the gorgeous pink.. And Yessss… its super moisturizing..!! A must buy..:)
Thanks Meeta! Did you buy this shade? Isnt it totally adorable? I am gonna pick up ALL the shades in this range 🙂
Oh I love it so much Aarbee..! Me want to try all the shades as well… Will do that soon..!! 🙂
Its a must have 4 everyone…..i have a chapped pigmented lips (coz of high intake of tea)….but i can see even after having cups of tea at office time…moisture doesn’t go. i just need to put once in morning and second after lunch and m done. i even tried it before using lipstick and gloss…because of its sheer color it went amazingly well thats too with longevity 🙂
Yes, they are super duper moisturizing…I totally agree, I dont have to reapply every 2-3 hrs like other lip balms.
Everyone is praising this…..is it available online ? pls help
Hey Aarti, I dont think these are available on the Indian sites yet as they have not even hit the stores in some areas yet. But do check your local store to get your hands on these 🙂
thanks Aarbee.. i m desperate to try this 😉
oh my godddddddddd!!! i cn’t stop my laugh after reading abt” lolita” by the way its really fantastic i bought berry crush. ur lips r really looking awesome
Thanks a bunch Parvi! ROFL…such a sleazy name right? I plan to pick up Berry Crush next 😀
i am in a non tinted phase and absolutely , totally madly in love with the Mango pie ! 🙂
Oh yes, the non tinted ones are also awesome. I picked up the anti-oxidant one and have just started using it. Will review in a couple of days. 🙂
nice review Aarbee. I am using berry crush from the same baby lips family.Totally loving it 🙂
Sounds like everybody has bought Berry Crush, it seems ‘berry berry’ popular 🙂
Thanks Manisha!
these are just sooo awesome no. I love these. I like the name of this one. Lolita. 😀
me too Rati…like the name. 🙂
Rati…please tell me you know how Shakti Kapoor says ‘Lolita’ – if you do then how can you like the name?
These are by far the best lip balms i have come across.
when i tried the testers i loved this shade, but a fresh one wasnt available 🙁 so i bought other ones
but after ur review i want this even more… will get it definitely 🙂
Yes Poorva I found this to be the most tinted and prettiest out of all. Get this one asap 😀
Love the shade.. I like the name though, I guess they named it after the novel. *goes back to hibernation*
Haha, Leez me and my penchant for sleazy Hindi movies…sigh! The novel did not come to my mind at all when I read the name, all I could think of was Shakti Kapoor 😛
U got lovely lips babes!!
Thanks so much TA! As the ad goes – Maybe m born with it, maybe its Maybell*ne (baby lips balm) ;P
OMG! I love your LOTD!!! 😀 😀
gorgeous shade but won’t show up on my lips i think 🙁 🙁
Thanks a ton Triya! Glad you like it!
Try the other shades then, Berry crush seems to be a popular choice 😀
These baby lips are super adorable. love these and a nice review Aarbee. Hope you are absolutely fine now. Take care
Aww Nidhi, thanks so much for asking! Yes I am completely okay now. I am glad you liked the review 😀

LOL…hain na? I could totally hear it in my head! Thanks, glad you liked the lip swatch 😀
