Maybelline Dr.Rescue Baby Lips Collection

When I first heard about this collection, I couldn't contain myself. I love Baby Lips, I have every collection they've released in the States! In general, I'm a bit obsessed with Baby Lips, but I have to say that these were a huge disappointment.

 The packaging is pastel themed, adorable! There are six shades in this collection.  

The packaging on these balms are slightly different than past Baby Lips. The logo is actually a sticker, it peels to reveal the drug facts underneath. I don't like it, and in person it looks cheap. Not a big deal, but the stickers feel like they are going to fall off at any moment. 

 All of these shades look pigmented in the tube, but when swatched they're very sheer.

From left to right: Berry Soft, Just Peachy, Soothing Sorbet, Pink Me Up, Coral Crave, and Too Cool. Berry Soft is a light mauve- purple. Just Peachy is a beige-nude. Soothing Sorbet is a soft raspberry. Pink Me Up is a light pink. Coral Crave is a light coral. Too Cool is just a clear balm. These are two swipes each, if you would like to see lip swatches please watch my video review below.


Claims: " Provides care that soothes sore lips with a hint of eucalyptus and combats dryness. It's available in natural tints to even out lip tone for healthier-looking lips. In one minute, lips feel soothed".
Finish/Texture: The finish is very shiny and the texture is a bit greasy. These have a lot of slip to them, which I don't like. It feels different than the original formula.
Lasting Power: These didn't leave a stain on my lips, and I felt like the formula never soaked in. These just slipped right off, they have no lasting power at all. 
Scent: Here's my main problem: they smell and taste like Vicks Vapo Rub, which has a very strong eucalyptus scent. It also has a bitter taste, that's very off-putting.
Packaging: The packaging is cheap looking this time around, since the logo is actually a sticker. The sticker was on very loose, so it might fall off..and then you wouldn't know the shade name. I liked the color scheme, but I don't get why they used stickers this time. 
Price/Availability: I paid $3.50 each at Wal-Mart.

Likes:

• Cute pastel theme

Dislikes:

• Very strong Eucalyptus scent
• Very strong bitter taste
• No lasting power/staining power
• Lacks in pigmentation
• Texture is very greasy
• Packaging is cheap looking
• Don't live up to claims
• Don't leave lips feeling hydrated

Overall:
I felt like Maybelline could have formulated these so much better. They seriously lacked in pigmentation, most of the colors barely show up on my lips and they didn't leave behind a stain. The texture felt very greasy, which I've never experienced in the past. I absolutely hate the smell of these, like I said it is my main problem with the formula.  It smells exactly like Vicks Vapo Rub, which is awful to me. They also have a very bitter taste. I don't see how these could possibly live up to the 12 hour moisture claim, because I never felt like the formula soaked into my lips. 

The formula on these feels completely different than the past Baby Lips, which I don't like. I don't feel like it soothed my lips, or even hydrated them. These actually felt drying, and since alcohol is one of the main ingredients.. I'm not so surprised.  

I was so disappointed in this collection. Everything about these lip balms let me down. There's honestly nothing that impressed me here. I also wanted to mention that I know these balms are medicated with menthol, but they just smell horrible. I have tried other medicated balms in the past, and they didn't smell this bad!
