If you’ve experienced the discomfort of dry, chapped lips, especially in the winter, you understand the necessity of hydrating lip balms. That’s why I make it a point to keep a stock of lip balms and chapsticks throughout the year, with many already on my vanity. However, my excitement peaked when I discovered Maybelline New York’s tinted lip balms. The charming and feminine packaging instantly caught my eye, and the reasonable pricing prompted me to grab two variants without hesitation. In this review, I’ll share my thoughts on the Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Lolita shade. Let’s dive in.

Shades Available
Maybelline New York Baby Lips Loves Color range comes in 4 super-saturated tinted shades.- ‘Berry Crush,’ ‘Rose Addict,’ ‘Pink Lolita,’ and ‘Cherry Kiss.’
Ingredients
The complete list of ingredients is not provided on the product’s packaging. However, it claims to be a formula with vitamin E and jojoba oil that helps shed rough, dry cells from the lips’ surface to keep them smooth, supple, and cushioned all day.
Packaging
Maybelline New York Baby Lips Loves Color (Pink Lolita) lip balm comes in an attractive pick packaging that is cute and girly. It is a small tube packaging (like the regular lipstick packaging), which perfectly fits my jeans’ pockets and can be carried easily. All you need to do is twist the base of the tube and apply. I like tube lip balms more than tub ones as they are hygienic and can be used without fingers. However, an opaque tube does not allow us to see how much product remains inside.
Look And Feel
The lip balm is pink, and its texture is silky smooth. It glides effortlessly over the lips, making them feel hydrated and moisturized. The lip balm has a mild fruity fragrance, which I love. However, the scent is not long-lasting and vanishes after 15 minutes of application.

My Take On Maybelline Baby Lips (Pink Lolita)
I have dry, chapped lips, and the condition worsens during the winter as they get ruined because of the dry weather. So, I stock up many lip balms and prefer the tinted ones as my lips are pigmented. This Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Lolita is certainly a wintertime keeper for me, as it has healed my lips entirely with regular usage. Now, my lips look soft and moisturized. However, you need to apply it regularly for this.
The color payoff of this tinted lip balm is good, and 2-3 swipes give a nice tint. But if you have highly pigmented lips like mine, you may need 4-5 swipes to make the stain visible. The pink shade, however, looks very sweet and completely natural. It also gives a subtle shine to my lips.
The lip balm stays on my lips for 3-3.5 hours, which is quite good. But the 16-hour claim is not valid anyway. As I have pigmented lips, I always look for lip products with SPF included in them, and thankfully, this lip balm fulfilled my needs. It contains SPF 16, which protects my lips from the sun’s harmful rays. I love this range of lip balms from Maybelline, New York, and I will purchase other variants soon.
How To Use
Turn the base 1-2 times for usage. Reapply when lips are exposed to intense sun, wind, or cold for maximum protection. First, apply the lip balm to the center of your upper lip and follow the contours of your mouth. Then, glide the lip balm across the entire bottom lip.
