L'oreal Glossy Balm in My Babydoll: Review + Swatches

I bought this as soon as it came out since I love chubby lip pencils. This one's main claim is that is is a glossy balm. These got a bit of hype when they came out, but none since. I only bought one shade, at Target, for around $6.
Standard tube in the color of the product, with silver accents. 
Slightly pinker than the tube color, more cool toned. 
Sheer and then a layered swatch. 
When wiped away it only just barely leaves a stain behind.
Lip swatch.
  • It is very glossy, and that finish does not seem to disappear
  • Since it is glossy, it does not set...which can lead to getting on your teeth 
  • It is a lovely cool toned baby pink, the shade range is wonderful
  • Not longwearing, really only wears the short length of a balm
  • Can leave the weird ring around the center of your lips...
  • No scent, but it does have a slick texture

Hey everyone, today I have a set of reviews from the new British Rose collection and lip & cheek stains that were sent to me for consideration.

British Rose Palette There are six matte eye shadows and two blushes, for day to night. Soft satin pinks, and a blush with specks of glitter (that do not transfer). All cool tones.

Saved the best, in my opinion, for last. So far, I've reviewed Blackberry Sorbet and Pink Souffle. This is the 3rd, and final Sephora Cream Lip Stain I own. At $13, there are a few others I may eventually get, as well as continue to hope for more shades!  Same Packaging as the others Marvelous Mauve Do-foot applicator Arm Swatch A stunning mauve, just like the name Full face, it's really a beautiful color for everyone I'd call it neutral undertone, maybe a bit blue (makes teeth the same if not whiter) Lasts all day longStains, no touch ups neededSupposed dupe to Stila Patina, Every time I try to get my hands on that on it's always sold out (this was for the longest time as well)Applies very smoothly and evenlyLittle to no shimmers, unlike the other shadesDoesn't make lips look dryDoesn't dry lips outSame slight vanilla scentFlattering color, and tone Overall, If you can ever find this in stock, you need it! There is a reason why it is always sold out, and that&…
