Maybelline Electro Pop Baby Lips

So recently Australia got some new additions to the Maybelline New York Baby Lips range. The first thing that I noticed about this product is that these are in the American packaging which I was really excited about because I had always liked the pictures that I had seen of it!

Here is a quick overall image of the colours that are currently available in Australia. At the time you could only get them in Target but since then they have been rolled out as a part of the display in all the different stores. This is something that I am thankful for because there are times when I'm really fussy about buying my products from and don't really like to be limited to one place! Again as you can see this is not the usual packaging that is seen in Australia. I am so excited to see this collection in Australia as I do remember it coming out in America and being super jealous that I couldn't get my hands on them because I loved the colour scheme.

While the actually product packaging has changed, the cardboard that it is sold in has not, making it still easy to find on the displays.

Here is Berry Bomb out of the packaging. I think this is a beautiful colour and will get a lot of use that we are now coming into the warmer months here. 

Here is a swatch of Berry Bomb. As you can see, these are not as bold as they appear in the bullet. For many this will be a relief and will also be a great way to try new and exciting colours! If you were buying this product expecting it to be a bold colour, think of these like the coloured lip balms that Maybelline also have in their range.

As with all the other Baby Lips, the packaging generally follows the colour scheme of the product. Again making it easier to see in stores.

Again the packaging has been removed. I really like how simple the packaging is and how it is easy to see what it is called from the packaging. 

A swatch of Pink Shock. This is the shade that is going to be my favourite because I love to wear pink lips. This being a more sheer shade means I will be able to wear this on minimal makeup days and also when I am just looking for a sheer wash of colour.

Last but not least in this shade. To me this is the most intimidating colour, but that is because I have never been too sure with orange shades.

I am really loving the simple packaging of the Baby Lips and how it corresponds with what the product shade is.

 And so for the last swatch. I am glad that these are as bright as they are in the bullet because I think that this is a much more wearable colour. This will be great in the warmer months as this will brighten up your look really quickly.


REVIEW:

I love the Baby Lips range because generally they provide a nice texture on the lips and do keep them moisturized throughout the day. I don't feel this way with this range of the line. I think these are better to be viewed as a Lip Stain rather then a Lip Balm, because these didn't moisturize my lips like the originals have.

But in thinking of these more of a stain then a balm, these are great because they don't go everywhere and leave a lovely stain on the lips when they start to rub off. I loved how these looked and that they made a more natural look feel more relaxed. These are great if you want some colour on your lips but hate the feeling of other lipsticks, glosses or stains. My favourite would defiantly have to be Pink Shock, but that is purely based on the colour.

My one biggest con for this product is the packaging. I'm far to used not having to worry about how I closed the product, it was simply shut the lid and shove it in my bag. As you can see in some of the images above there is still product sticking out. This has not been done by me, but is how the product comes. So if you're in a rush, this wont be your go-to lip balm. One you have used the product more this wont be a problem, but at the start you will need to keep an eye on it to make sure you don't get product everywhere.


OVERALL RATING:
 7/10

PRICE: $3.95 (Priceline)



Let me know what you think!

Cherry Culture Haul plus other purchases

So... Went shopping again, not even gonna hide it. I had received my Cherry Culture haul and then I also went shopping with a friend and she told me I needed some more things in my life and I listened and got them as well!

To start with I am going to talk about the first pallet that I have ever bought for myself. The Balm's Meet Matt(e) Nude is the first glorious product that I bought!

This is the front of the pallet, I think it looks nice because it is a simple cover and the name of the pallet is displayed in a large font making it easy to read and also to see from afar if you need to!

These are the shadows that come with the pallet, and as the name suggests they are all matte! I have only used this twice but I LOVE IT!

If you are desperate for a review then check out the blogger and friend who convinced me that I needed this in my life! Pastelsparkles Review 

PRICE: $42 (The Balm)

             $49 (David Jones, This is where I bought it but couldn't find this pallet on their website)

Next is onto some products tat you can only get in Australia. These products are by the brand Australis. They are the Velourlips, they have been given a lot of attention from the Australian YouTubers for a very good reason! These are amazing!

These are the two colours that I got this time! They are Mi-a-mee and Ma-li-boo.

This is the colour Ma-li-boo, I love bright pinks and so this is a colour that is right up my ally. I have already worn this once and my only comment so far is that make sure your lips are in good condition otherwise it shows up the flaky spots, to correct this I just put a thin layer of lip gloss over top.

This is the colour Mi-a-mee, this is more of an orangy colour, I don't normally go for these sort of colours but I love how it looked o the back of my hand so I couldn't resist getting it! I haven't yet worn this colour so no comments yet.

PRICE: $9.95 (Priceline)

Next is the big part of the haul, it's also where Cherry Culture comes into the post, over a month ago they had a great sale on the website, I think it was like 60% off store wide, so I got on that and bought a few things. I only bought NYX Butter Glosses, this is because I only really wanted these and also didn't want to spend a butt load of money.

These are all the shades that I bought both from Cherry Culture and Target. I bought some in store because there is 30% off sale at the moment, but I don't know how long that sale is on for. 

This is the shade Apple Strudel (Target)

Cherry Pie (Cherry Culture)

Cupcake (Cherry Culture)

Devil's Food Cake (Cherry Culture, also this isn't as brown as it appears in this photo)

Maple Blondie (Target)

Raspberry Tart (Cherry Culture)

Sugar Cookie (Cherry Culture)


I love these so much! I really want to get more of these! There are a couple of places in Australia where you can get your hands on NYX products, it just depends if you want to get it in store or can wait for shipping.

PRICE: $5 (Cherry Culture)
             $9.95 (Target I bought mine for 6.95)



These last products are new to Australia and I was super excited because I am a big lover of this brand and also this product! This is new to Australia but not to America, so Australians get excited if you love these like I do!

The Electro Pop collection Baby Lips from Maybelline New York has come to Australia! These are in the American packaging which makes me even more excited about this collection. These so far are only available are Target, I was surprised that these are not at Priceline.

This is the Berry Bomb, just like in America, these are sheer coloured lip balms so don't be freaked out by the bold colour that is in the tube. I am still excited to try this on!

This next one is called Oh! Orange, I have yet to try this on my lips but I have swatched this on my hand and I like the colour that it gave, again, it's nothing scary so don't freak out!

This is the last shade that is now available at Target, this is the shade Pink Shock, I think that this will be my facourite because I love pink! This was also the most pigmented out of the lot, again not as bright as in the tube but still a lovely colour!

There will be more hauls coming as beauty addicts do go online shopping hehe

But I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what you have picked up recently!

Bye xx
