Review: Maybelline Baby Lips Electro

So... for those of you who love the original baby lips, are you excited to see this new line of electro lip balms?
And for those of you who didn't love the originals... keep reading! These just might surprise you!

So for starters, here's Maybelline's description of the products:
"8hr hydration with a neon kick. Electro color pigments in our exclusive lip renew formula."

Available in 6 shades.

I love the original baby lips. Love 'em.
So here are some differences between the Electro and the Original:

First, the obvious, is the packaging. The Electro line has a black plastic tube opposed the rainbow of colors the originals are.

Second, the pigmentation. YAY. Those are my words. The originals are a sheer tinted lip balm. I mean that's what they're marketed as, and what they are supposed to be. But the Electro's... they pack a punch. Maybe not so much as a lip stick but for a balm!? These are awesome.



The packaging promises 8hrs of hydration. I'd say I disagree with that statement. They are hydrating, like a lip balm, but not super duper hydrating. Just average. And I don't think the moisture feeling stays for a full 8 hours.

I do think that the product works as far making my lips less dry, more supply, and smoother. I don't know if my lips were necessarily "Better Looking" mainly because I'm not sure what that entails, but I do enjoy the effect these give to my lips!

I picked up 3 shades, Pink Shock:


 Oh! Orange:


Strike A Rose:




Swatches:

Pink Shock:

Oh! Orange:




Strike A Rose: 


To be honest, it was really hard to get good pictures of these. They look beautiful, I adore them, but it was hard to get a decent shot of their true color. 

Pink Shock: A beautiful pink color, that has some maroon-ish purple vibe to it. It's the deepest of the 3.

Oh! Orange is the sheerest one of the 3, but I love it a lot. It looks stunning on the lips. It's beautiful and amazingly natural looking. Simply gorgeous.  

Strike A Rose: A rosy pink color that is simply lovely on the lips and in the tube. 

Overall... I LOVE THEM. 
As I do with all the baby lips :)
I highly recommend!
