Lip balm Comparison - Maybelline vs Burts Bees

I always struggle to wear lipsticks and lip glosses because I suffer from extremely dry lips. They usually flake off or the colour sinks into cracks in my lips and either way it ends up looking horrible in no time at all.

I am always looking for a lip balm that I can wear by itself to help heal my lips and also one I can wear under lipsticks to add some moisture.

I recently bought the Maybelline Baby lips in Energizing orange and was lucky enough to be given a Burts Bees l00% natural Lip balm to test out. So I though I would do a comparision on the two, as they are meant to do essentially the same thing, moisturise and soften your dry lips.

Review - Maybelline dream liquid mousse foundation



I read such good reviews of this product on Primped.com.au and as I was just about to run out of my current foundation (Revlon Colour stay)  I thought id give this one a go. I bought this when Priceline was having a buy 2 get one free sale, which they have on their big cosmetics brands every few months.

they have quite a good selection of shades with both yellow and pink bases. Its always good to test the foundation colour and consistency before you buy it. The back of your hand which is where most people test products is actually a different colour to your face; so if you can test it on your face or neck to get the best match.

I was surprised how light this product actually is, its super silky and glides onto your skin. One thing I have found is that because the product is so light and comes out as a mousse you end up needing a little more than you would think. It may sound like a bad thing, but unlike other foundations you can easily choose from a light to full coverage with the product, without getting streaks or caking on your face.

I use one pump for a light-medium coverage and two for a fuller coverage. You gotta love the fact it comes with a pump as well!
