Maybelline Electro Baby Lips Collection

Ok so today was a bad day for my wallet. I was waiting for Mr. Chemi and decided I may as well browse through the long string on drugstores in Astoria. My first stop was Duane Reade. I picked up some Wet N' Wild palette I had been looking for for a while now and an N.Y.C. palette that I hadn't seen before. Wet N' wild was having a sale on eyeliners (buy one get one 50% off) so I couldn't pass up 50 cent eye liners, who could?? All of that will be swatched by Saturday so stay tuned :D Then i stopped by a Rite Aid that didnt have anything good. I was walking back to the 'meeting point' and passed another Rite Aid where I have had  good luck finding all the new collections early. I walked in and the first thing i see? Maybelline Color Tattoo Powder pigments. I didnt pick any up but I will next week. Only one caught my eye and I will be getting it. Right under that display I see *BAM*

New Maybelline baby lips. I have always loved the packaging for these but the new ones are my favorite by FAR. They come in the regular tube but this time its black with neon lettering. The letting was made to almost match the product in side. Let's take a look.

Pretty right? The shades are in the order they were on in the display case (which i could take a picture off)

#80 Berry Bomb, #70 Pink Shock, #95 Strike A Rose, #85 Oh! Orange, #90 Minty Sheer, #75 Fierce N Tangy. I had originally picked up only the first three but then went back and Mr. Chemi bought me #90 and I couldn't help it anymore. I snatched up the last 2. I'm an addict *sigh* Hi guys, My name is Jane and I'm a lip junkie.

                                    Here they all are out of the package, still in the same order

 Here they are twisted up a little. At this point I was super excited for the first two and bracing for disappointment with the last two. I know it says sheer mint but i was hoping for a little tiny something.

Here's the arm swatches of all of them. the two pinks have to most pigmentation so far. I was expecting more from the purple so, meh. On my arm you can kinda see a little color from the green and yellow but it doesn't hold up on the lips.

Here are my bare lips for color comparison. yes I know my nostrils are weird. one is round the other is pointy. No need to point it out. Yes i know my skin is really dry, I'm getting over an allergic reaction to a soap bar. (I'm allergic to most soaps and had been able to use Dove until last month when it started giving me rashes. Now I have to use St. Ives hypoallergenic body washes and most LUSH soaps)

Here is #80 Berry Bomb. this one has some color on the lips but not as much as it did on my hand. It smelled like mixed berries

Here is #70 Pink Shock. This was the most pigmented to me. I don't know if I am right so don't quote me on this, but to me this smelled like strawberries. ALMOST strawberries and cream but not quite. 

This is #95 Strike A Rose. This one smelled rosey but fruity at the same time. almost like roses and strawberries (don't quote me)

Here is #85 Oh!Orange. This didn't have as much color on my lips as it did on my arm. Its smelled like sweet oranges. I liked it more than I thought i would so that's a plus.

Here is #90 Minty sheer. I included the lips picture just because some people like seeing the clear glosses at work. It smelled minty but not strong. It smelled like a soft sweet mint (much lighter than EOS sweet mint). Very nice. I can forgive its terrible let down on pigmentation because of the really nice scent.

Last but not least #75 Fierce N Tangy. This one was a very nice surprise. For a while now I've been saying Maybelline should make a lemon/lime Baby Lips. Imagine my surprise when I put this on and a fresh lemon scent hits my nose! I think I may have yelped a bit. I would honestly recommend that you pick this up if you like lemon scented balms. Its a nice one.

Over all these new baby lips were all really nice. If not for the pigmentation then for the fun new scents. They have the same feel as the other baby lips but I don't think these have sunscreen. A bit strange that they would remove the sunscreen from the summer line when the core line all has sunscreen... oh well. Be on the look out for these. they're starting to pop up at Rite Aids. have you tried one? if so what do you think. If you have then which one are you the most excited about? Let me know, I'd love to hear from you :)
