So when I got home from a pretty miserable day at work with a sprained wrist; when the doorbell rang and the UPS man said "PINDORIA"? I was like SURE!!! This wasn't for me I don't recall ordering anything but there in the box I saw my name...then my eyes fell on the name in the corner "Ohm Patel" - INSTANT response?? NO WAY SHE IS CRAZY!!! Yep my fabulous cousin had sent something from the USA...and this was what was in it...
This was just such an amazing surprise and it derived from me having a little rant on my Get those Baby Lips post a few days ago. I was ranting on about the fact that the USA always got the better cosmetics than the UK especially when they are manufactured in France (if someone would like to shed some light on why this is it would be much appreciated) !!!
This particular product; the Maybelline Baby Lips in Grapevine is not available in the UK, and my cousin is so kind and sympathises with us Britons she sent me this along with my brother-in laws contributions of Sour Patch Kids (YUMMM)!!
I was so excited to try this; it has the most amazing Grape smell (tastes good as well). It does not have any SPF however is actually A LOT more moisturising than any of the other ones I have purchased in the UK. I'm going to give this the day test tomorrow...but I am beginning to think they are slightly different in the formula and here is my theory; they must change something in the UK versions in order for them to be sold here because I could instantly tell the difference in the feel of it on my lips. I could be totally wrong and just in the mind frame that everything from America is amazing!!
I have swatched the product on my hand; and although quite a strong colour in the actual bullet it has no real prominent tint on the skin or lips like Pink Punch or Cherry Me. It comes up nude on my lips however leaves a subtle glossy look. I don't know if you can see it but it has been swatched just under the tag "grapevine".
As for the Sour Patch Kids...my nephew Dev and I have already nom nom'd into one packet...and will soon be on the next I am sure!!! (Thanks Ohm)
I am still smiling so much from the love I have received from across the ocean...and would like to say a huge thank you to Hina & Ohm for this...this post is dedicated to my lil munchkin Sakshi who I can not wait to see in a few months...Thank you again...much love & hugs to you guys x o x o
