Maybelline Baby Lips- Cherry me

-



I love lip balms...out of necessity :).
I use lip balms to moisturize my lips when I am not wearing lipstick and also before applying lipstick.
Not to mention those days when the temperatures go down and you have to deal with dry, chapped lips.

The discussions on Maybelline baby lips was all over the net and so I grabbed it when I saw them on one of my shopping spree.

The Maybelline website claims that it will moisturize the lips for a full 8 hours and that its like clinical care for baby soft lips.

I bought the shade called ' Cherry me' (there is something about red shades that attract me; maybe its my asian genes ...lol)


The packaging is very cute. 
Cherry me is a dark red tinted lip balm housed in a yellow tube and the outer cover is transparent.
It is clearly printed on the tube that it is for adult use only. 
The expiry date is 24 months from the date of opening.
The ingredient list is not printed on the tube (even the Maybelline website doesn't give the ingredients).

I have used this lip balm for a while (the picture says it all :)) now before reviewing it.

The lip balm has a light berry smell (I just feel like eating it) and glides easily on the lips. It leaves a light reddish tint on the lips (the intensity of the tint will vary according to the colour of the lips). It leaves a glossy shine, not too much, to the lips. The lips are hydrated and remain so for a long time. Even after drinking a few cups of water/tea/coffee, my lips were still hydrated and I didn't feel the need to reapply. So I feel their 8 hour hydration claim is true.But honestly, who cares if it stays for 8 hours. I for one, automatically reaches for a lip balm after every meal or washing my face. This lip balm is a million times better than Labello.

The lip balm leaves the tint behind even though the glossiness fades after sometime. So, one can use this lip balm as a lipstick on those days when you are not in the mood to wear heavy duty lipsticks. And it did help in making my lips smooth.

Also the packaging is quite travel friendly. I am that girl who always has a lip balm and lip stick in her hand bag. So a big yesss for me. 

It's easy on the pocket too. I bought it for 1.750KD and it is available in Maybelline kiosks in LuLu hypermarket, Boots and Vavavoom.

Maybelline baby lips's cuteness factor combined with good performance, has earned my loyalty to it.

It's definitely worth re-purchasing.

Now I have to try the other flavors/shades tooo.

Quiznos...

Ever since the American franchise, Quiznos, opened up in my work place, I wanted to try it out. They have subs, soups and salads. Quiznos doesn't have many branches in Kuwait. But one can order online through talabat . They do have a Facebook (Quiznos Kuwait), twitter  (quiznos_kw) and Instagram (quiznos_kw) accounts and a  website . Their hotline number is    188001. Their small subs are like 5 or 6 inches long and is more than enough to satiate you.  You can choose brown or white or jalapeno or rosemary Parmesan bread. I am in love with the rosemary Parmesan bread ever since I tried it.  That is how it is packaged. I bought the egg and cheddar breakfast sub on a rosemary-parmesan bread.I do not like jalapenos and pickles in my sub, so I always avoid it. And thank god they do not give you much options like Subway :). My friend ordered the steak, egg and cheddar sub. The bread is quite flavorful and light. You do not feel heavy after eating t

Tawas - an all natural deodorant

-

Ever since I read about deodorants and their side effects, I have been on the search for an all-natural deodorant. Coconut oil can be used since it has antibacterial properties. Just apply a small amount after bath and when you wake up you will not have smelly underarms. But once you start sweating, you end up smelling but not as bad. But then it fails totally when you do some heavy duty work like exercise. Another option is mixing equal amounts of baking soda, corn flour and coconut oil. This concoction does work but it takes time for the body to get adjusted for it to work for you. And then too, it isn't effective during exercise. And again my search was on. It was during a casual talk with a friend that she mentioned about Tawas and how she was using it as a deodorant. I couldn't wait to try it out and bought it the same day :) This is how the packaging is.  A small see through container filled up to the brim. There are scented and non-scented var

The semolina bread saga

-

I love to bake. It is therapeutic for me :) There is something about the measuring,sifting,kneading,pouring and seeing the fruits of my labour rising to glory in the oven. I have seen many bread recipes while roaming the cyber space but was a little scared to venture into trying a recipe; Until a friend of mine, who is an avid baker (oh my you just have to see her posts) posted photos of her home made bread on the social media. A little chat with her and she encouraged me and I went ahead and tried my hands at baking bread at home.  Oh my, bread making is a sticky process but at the end of it all, you feel proud of your creation. You can go wrong too if you are not careful. The bread can become dense if you knead it too much or add too much water. To sum it up, you need to try it out a few times before you can master it. Well, a semolina bread is what I would call a beginner bread baker recipe. You can never really go that wrong with this recipe. And a positive end resu
