Review: Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue in Too Cool

Hey everyone!
Sorry it's been so long since I last did a post, I have been busy with school and working on my YouTube channel. 

So today I'm doing a review on a product that is somewhat new but I'm sure you all have heard of it.  It is the Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue, they are the newest baby lips that Maybelline has come out with.  I own two of them, one in the clear shade, Too Cool, and another in a tinted berry shade, Berry Soft, but today I am going to be reviewing the clear one.

Now the new Dr. Rescue baby lips are medicated lip balms, which couldn't be more perfect for the winter time, and they come in six shades.  Five of those shades are tinted and the only one that is clear is Too Cool.  This retails for around $3.49, which is a bit more pricey than the other baby lips that sell for around $2.99.

The packaging on these are different from the other baby lips Maybelline has put out.  Though they are similar to the Baby Lips Electro, the packaging is all white and the color of the letters vary on what shade you have.  For instance the clear shade has light blue letters while the Berry Soft shade has berry colored letters.  Other than that, the packaging is the same as the others.

These claim to have medicated care and twelve hour hydration.  On the Maybelline website it says, "Medicated care soothes sore lips and combats dryness."  It also claims that in one minute lips feel soothed, in one day lips look more smooth, and that in one week lips are renewed.

Now those are some pretty strong claims to make, but I have to say I am really impressed with this lip balm.  I am definitely a lip balm junkie and I honestly think that you can never have enough lip balm.  I defiantly recommend this lip balm, it is very soothing on the lips which is perfect for the winter and I'm not sure if it actually meets every single one of the claims but I definitely think that it is a good lip balm.  This helps to hydrate my chapped lips and my lips do look and feel smoother after using this.

Overall, I really like this lip balm and I highly recommend it.  I actually am almost finished with my first one and I already have a backup of it waiting to be used.

I plan on picking up more shades of the Dr. Rescue Baby lips, so be on the look out for a new post on that.  If you have tried this product, please leave a comment down below letting me know what you think of it.  Also let me know what types of posts you want to see in the future.  I hope you all are having a great Christmas!

Small Target Haul!

I went to Target last night to pick up some school supplies and ended up picking up a few makeup items as well.

Disclaimer: I bought all these products with my own money.  I am not being sponsored by any company and everything I write is my own opinion.

The first thing I picked up was a repurchase of one of my favorite lip balms, the Nivea A Kiss of Milk & Honey. If you want to read more about it, I included it in my last post, Hits & Misses.  I can't remember the exact price but I know it was under $3.
The next thing I picked up was a travel pack of my favorite Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes.  I thought it would be good to put in my school backpack.  Again if you want to read more about it I have a whole post about it.  I am not sure of the price, but it probably wasn't to expensive.
 

The Clean & Clear Oil-Absorbing Sheets were something that I wanted to try.  They are $4.49 and come with 50 in a small pack that is great for throwing in your purse.  I tried one out last night and it absorbed the oil around my nose quite nicely.  It says it won't smudge makeup but I don't know if that is true because I wasn't wearing makeup when I used it. 
The next thing I got is the Vaseline Aloe Lotion.  I can't remember the price exactly but I think it was around $2.  I have never tried this before so I don't have anything to say about it yet but I picked it up because I was out of lotion.

The Covergirl CG Smoothers BB Cream is something I have wanted to try for a while now.  A lot of people say that it is exactly the same as the Covergirl CG Smoothers Tinted Moisturizer and that is why I bought it.  I wanted a tinted moisturizer and I can't ever really find one in the drugstore.  Target didn't sell the Covergirl Tinted Moisturizer and the only place that I know that sells it is Ulta.  So I just picked up the BB cream and I am actually wearing it right now.  So far I like it!  This retails for $6.94 and comes in three shades.  I got mine in the lightest shade, 805 fair to light.
 

I picked up another Covergirl product and that is the Covergirl Lipslicks Smoochies Lip Balm in the shade 220 Text Me.  It is basically a tinted lip balm and I tried it last night and it has really nice pigmentation.  It was $4.94 and I am not sure about the color on me.  It doesn't look bad but I have to wear it a few more times to tell what I think about the color.  Other than that the product feels nice on my lips.
I was in the Maybelline section and noticed that they had a new Baby Lips Electro.  Now Target only sells it online so it was kind of weird that there was one.  I looked through all of the Baby Lips(the regular ones) and found another Electro in the yellow shade(Fierce N Tangy) but I decided to go with the purple one(Berry Bomb).  It has a nice sheer purple color and I am a fan of the original Baby Lips.  The online price is $2.99 but I'm not sure how much I paid for it.
I picked up two e.l.f. brushes, the Smudge Brush and the Blending Brush.  I don't have many brushes so I thought that it would be nice to get a few more.  I have the powder brush from e.l.f.'s studio line and I like that one.  The brushes were $1 each, which is really inexpensive.  I have tried the blending one and it is an ok brush but I haven't tried the Smudge one yet.  I would recommend e.l.f. brushes if you are looking for inexpensive brushes.


                               






                                                                                             


The last thing I picked up was the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in clear.  This is a clear mascara that can also be used as brow gel.  I picked this up because I wanted to try a clear mascara to maybe wear to school because I don't usually wear makeup to school often.  I am excited to try this and it was only $4.44
