Review: [LIP] Smooth Color Bloom - Color Changing Lip Balm

When my friend and I were talking the other day, she suddenly screamed saying, "Dumudugo! (It's bleeding!)" while pointing at my lips. My lips are so dry that it bleeds with just a slight stretch while either talking or laughing. The incident freaked her out but for me, it was nothing but usual. I am so used to my dry lips which will later on bleed. Thank goodness for lip balms! More thanks for the tinted lip balms! 

Lately, I am loving tinted lip balms so much that I wear them more frequent than regular lipsticks. It relieves my dry lips while giving a hint of color. Pammy of J' Adore Rougit suggested that I should try the Maybelline Smooth Color Bloom because it works good on her. And because I hate the GoNaturals Lip Replenishing Balm (which I reviewed HERE), I got myself the Maybelline [LIP] Smooth Color Bloom Color Changing Lip Balm in Pink Blossom.

I got the shade Pink Blossom because pink is easier for me to pull off. Each lip balm is sold at Php99.00.

Unlike other tinted lip balms, this appears white on the tube and changes color only when applied to lips. Hence, the color may differ from one lips to another.

To test the powers of this lip balm, I waited for the moment that my lips were ridiculously dry and looked like this:

I applied good swipes of the Maybelline [LIP] Smooth Color Bloom Color Changing Lip Balm and my lips magically looked like this:

Cool, isn't?

Will I repurchase?

YES! Is it normal if I want to get the other shades available?

 

 

Notes:

1. Regularly apply lip balms to relieve dry and chapping lips.
2. Make sure to apply a lip balm prior to lipstick application for better lip texture.
3. Tinted lip balms may alter the color of the lipstick when used prior lipstick application. To avoid, make sure to just use a clear lip balm under lipsticks.

 

 

And yes, Pammy's right! The Maybelline [LIP] Smooth Color Bloom works good! :) I am using mine religiously everyday!
