Side by Side Comparison of: Maybeline New York vs Beauty by Earth

I love this lip balm in Cherry Me. It might look very red but once applied to the lips it's more of a sheer red tint color. The color is very flattering on my lips and bonus points to it being very moisturizing. You will most likely have to re-apply it before the day is over though, but that's what the purpose of a lip balm is for.

I bought one of these to keep my lips soft because I couldn't find the Vaseline compared advertised in my area. I kept it in the vanity drawer next to my bed, and I used it all the time... all the way to the nub. This one happened to be tinted in the color I wear, so for a quick trip out, I just wear it. I love it. I bought 2 more for myself, and one for a supplemental graduation gift for someone who I know will use it as much as I will!

I believe that this lip balm is amazing, I love how soft it leaves my lips and the color it adds. The color is playful and comes out great in pictures. When applying the lip balm, it is easy to over apply, but even then it does not feel cake-y on the lips or anything like that. Instead it feels as if the product works in nicely in keeping a light texture. However I must admit that the color for the product is darkest after immediate application, and after applying, I must be sure to not drink or eat anything right away because it easily rubs off. However even then, I just love it.

I am a proud owner of Baby Lips by Maybelline: Quenched, Peach kiss, and Grape vine. The application is buttery smooth on the lips and just give a barely-there kind of tint to your lips. It just emphasizes healthily moisturized lips. The scents are so sweet and unique to each of their own. In my opinion, Quenched smells like fruity loops cereal, Peach kiss smells of mangoes mixed with peach and Grape vine smells like a typical artificial grape smell along with a subtle hint of bubble gum. Quenched and Peppermint are great for just a shiny and glossy look while peach is a more natural light corally pink nude with shimmer and grape gives my lips the perfect amount of color that brings life into my no-makeup face. These may not be as moisturizing and healing as Bert's Bees and Carmex, but why not just put a little more effort into applying it often and conditioning your lips subtly.

I have 3 of the 5 typical colors and this one is my favorite for my deep Pacific Islander skin. Cherry Me can be too pink if applied too much. I tend to keep several tubes in my bags and at work. It glides on smooth and feels great. I find that I' m applying it frequently throughout the work day, but it could be that I just like the way it feels. I purchased these as an Add On item at $2.98 each. Someone else wrote that Walmart sells them in a pack of two for $5.00. However, this is still a good price as I've paid upwards of about $6 each at Walgreens. Not sure if this is improving my lips as I've always worn some kind of lip protection, so they are in decent condition. This is a great product if you want something inexpensive that feels great with a touch more color. It's become my favorite go to lip product!

Do you want something super moisturizing, but also with a hint of color? Enter Baby Lips. I love the slickness to this balm and the Cherry Me shade is phenomenal with any skin tone. I layer it on thick to give it more color, and I've slicked it on top of other lipsticks to give them more moisture too. It's perfect to throw in your pocket or in your purse. Also, as if all those other things weren't enough for you, it smells like Sweet Tarts. SWEET TARTS. Just get this--you won't regret it. Unless you hate cherry-flavored things, of course.

This is my third order. At first I didn't want to spend quite that much money for a four pack of lip balm I didn't even know if I would like. But because I had tried virtually everything else to keep my persistent dry lips moistened I decided to give it a try. I was extremely pleased right from the beginning and I came to love the four pack as I placed one in the car, one in my purse, one on the nightstand and one at my office desk. My lips are nowhere as dry as they used to be and I feel that this product has really made a big difference. Because of the way it feels when applied and the benefits I feel from using it, that encourages me to apply it more often which of course helps with the dryness and provides relief. Plus the conveniency of always having a balm stick nearby has helped me too.

I had guests for Christmas, & used the lip balm as stocking stuffers. Everyone raved about the "delicious" aroma of these exotic flavors. But, most importantly, my son who had been fighting chapped lips, left four days later with his lips healed. My son also has Celiac disease & had no reaction to this product. Everyone was thrilled that the lip balm was 100% organic & and completely soy-free, petroleum-free, filler-free, and free of artificial flavors and colors. I will definitely purchase again from this company.

I've been using this lip balm for over a year and refuse to use anything else. I'm spoiled by the luxurious feel of it gliding on and the softness that it leaves my lips. No other lip balm I've ever tried has come close to this and I've lived long enough to try many! A tube also lasts a long time. I use it constantly throughout the day and buy about 8 tubes every seven months. Delivery and packaging has always been a plus.

I have a problem that I won't want to drink water when thirsty. I don't know why but for year I only drink a few sips of water during the day and mostly get little more water from soups.As the results, I am totally dehydrated. My lips were chapped, skin was peeling out. It created my other bad habit of peeling my lips skin. I can't stop it. I peeled it everyday so much that my lips always looks raw, hurt, bleeding too. I tried normal chap sticks but they didn't keep my lips moist for long, just about 1hr or less.I found this product while looking for some body oil and decided to give it a try after reading the good reviews.I just tried the asian pear. It's smell so good, taste sweet and most important is that it keeps my lips most for hours. I just have to use it 3 times a day and haven't have problem with peeling lips again.And yes, I know I should fix my bad habit and drink more water.

This lip balm is the best! Decades ago I started with the standard Chapstick but didn't like how it went on and felt on. This led to the discovery of Vaseline which I love. It went on great, felt great, and made my lips super soft. The only thing I didn't like about it was it had to be applied frequently and the fact that it's petroleum jelly. A short time ago I found EOS. I was excited as it was largely organic and reasonably priced at Costco. EOS was a happy compromise between Chapstick and Vaseline. It went on better the Chapstick and didn't have to be applied as often as Vaseline; however, it didn't make my lips as soft Vaseline and didn't feel as good going and being on my lips. Then I found the Beauty by Earth Lip Balm and it is the best ever! It goes on like Vaseline and feels like Vaseline on my lips but is totally organic. It doesn't have to be applied nearly as often as Vaseline and it makes my lips soft. Highly recommend this product as it is absolutely fantastic.

Best Lip Balm. EVER!I have had chapped lips all my life and have used every lip balm there exists. This is by far the best lip balm there is. Why? It is not too greasy, not too waxy, it tastes good when you do taste it, it stays on for the required number of hours before necessary reapplication. AND best of all they use economical for the Earth recycled cardboard, not so fancy schmancy packaging (which YOU pay for) and which I totally support. ALL the ingredients are listed and are safe, NOT tested on animals etc. I formerly used Burts Bees , once a small company as this is but now bought out by Clorox, the makers of BLEACH... so who knows what they will do to the product in the future. They've already raised the prices astronomically. AND after using BEAUTY by EARTH I find that Burts Bees is much too waxy anyway. Liked Beauty so much I bought several more variety packs for stocking stuffers for my daughters for Christmas. I'm sure they will like it best too. What I also like is that this is a small company run by several friends who really believe in their product, and send it out in speedy deliveries. Cant beat that! HIGHLY recommend!

Gives a nice tinted sheen and very moisturizing. Hard to find in my area for some reason- in this shade- was a bit expensive compared to other shades of baby lips I have.

This was a much nicer product than I expected. It leaves a little more color than I expected, but it is a nice color. It is very soft and really moisturizes my lips and makes them feel soft without feeling sticky or greasy. It has an acceptable flavor/scent. I don't like the heavy waxy feeling of some chapsticks and this is product provides a very nice soft feeling while applying and doesn't leave a heavy, waxy or sticky, or super wet look or feel on my lips. I really like it for a moderately priced lip balm.

OMG my lips were so soft when I first started using it! It works very well with matte lipstick. After using it for while my lips started to breakout. :( ..... I stopped using it for a while and tried it again but it happened again.so I'm 100 percent sure this was the cause. Not saying it's like that for everyone but thats my experience!

Nice, smooth, almost buttery feel as the baby lips is applied to my lips.The color is a nice, simple read hue that gives me the perfect pop of color when I'm on the go.Cons: Frequent appliance is necessary (at least 6-8 times a day).Dries my lips a little bit.Overall, I enjoy it, however after using Nivea Kiss of Moisture Lipbalm for a full month, I have decided to discontinue my use of baby lips and use this instead.

I have used this product for a few years. I mainly use it as a type of moisturizing "gloss" over lip stains or liners. I like the color (grape vine). Gives a nice sheer plum tint. It's great for what it is and a steal for the price. I keep one in my car and purse.Would I use it as my main lip treatment? Nope. I've tried so many things over the years. I have a couple acne meds that really dry out my lips. So for overnight treatments or when not wearing lip makeup, I have given in and use the Fresh Sugar treatments/balms. Yes, they are ridiculously overpriced, but for me they work wonders. Also, if you're looking for a nice overnight treatment that doesn't break the bank put on a coat of Aquaphor...not the lip product, just plain old Aquaphor healing ointment lotion. It's great for really dry lips!

It's not my absolute favorite. It's nice when it first goes on, but the smell kind of becomes chemical/plastic ish after a while. I also feel like it never fully absorbs and rather, just sits on my lips. It does feel very nice and oily though, but again because it doesn't really absorb, it just disappears soon after.

I waited a full 6 months to review this because we all know we can love something right away and then as time goes on our opinion may change. First, it lasts FOREVER! Yes, 6 months after my purchase of a 4 pack, I am still using the first tube of lip balm. It NEVER runs out! The scent and flavor of the grapefruit pomegranate is subtle, definitely not overpowering. I'm sure the other 3 are the same. It goes on light but stays on a long time. I found that in the warmer summer and fall months it seemed to work very well. Better than most other balms I've used. However, after a few months of cold, dry winter weather it doesn't seem to hold up as well. My lips are super dry and peeling and I have cracks in the corners of my mouth. I have changed face wash and moisturizer but I wouldn't think that would make a huge difference. It may just be me but it was a little disappointing that it didn't hold up when I needed it most. Still a great product that I would recommend in the warmer, not so dry months.

I did read a lot of the reviews before purchasing. However I decided to try this pack out for something new. Previously I had used Burts Bee's which is expensive but all natural and top rated. Beauty by Earth has interesting flavors and very pretty packaging. The tops don't snap on like most chapstick but thus far it hasn't seem to come lose or fall off. I think there is a bit of bitterness in the flavor but I honestly do not think it's any worse than Burts bees or chapstick brand. The stevia is barely noticeable. The texture is perfect, however. It's thick and smooth and when I put it on before bed it's still there when I wake up. I feel some of the 1 star reviews were harsh on flavor but I think it honestly comes down to personal preference. Some people are more sensitive than others. For the price and texture and nature of the brand, I would recommend their lip care products. At least give it a try. It's accessible via amazon and cheaper than you'll find for the same quality at a drugstore. And in the schemend it does it's job and that works for me!!

I adore this lip balm! Every flavor tastes subtle yet wonderful (the green tea is maybe a little sweeter than I'd expect, but it's still delicious). I think the Acai & Goji Berry flavor is my favorite. They're very smooth and they make my lips so soft, plus they're definitely long-lasting! I may have been guilty of licking it off once or twice, but without interference, they're great, haha. My lips have never felt better, and I have every intention of buying them again, for myself and for friends, as little gifts.Edit: After the reformulation, they're definitely not as creamy as they used to be (it feels like I have to kind of work the balm into my lips, when I used to be able to just swipe quickly), and the flavors changed a little. Still tasty, and they still feel awesome on the lips, but I liked the old formula better. :( I might not repurchase these after I get through this pack.

It is winter and my lips are D-R-Y. I use lip balm in all seasons when I go to bed at night. I have tried them all with Chapstick and EOS being the worst of them. The one I was using was a sample and I was running out so I turned to Amazon for something new. I liked all the positive reviews for the Beauty by Earth and the natural ingredients so I ordered. This really helps the dryness. A little goes a long way, no need to overcoat the lips. I gave it 4 stars because I don't like the sweet taste that sometimes winds up in your mouth. It is hydrating and smells nice. My daughter likes it too and I will definitely order again.

The amazon packaging isn't the best for the size of the lip balms, but I'm guessing its for the best protection. I really enjoy these, I would say better than Burt's since they stay moist longer on my lips. I would buy again! I don't really care flavors, but the green tea isn't really noticeable, actually the flavors aren't overpowering at all.Update 11/21/14: The company sent me free samples of their peppermint. (They seem like a really nice and efficient company). The peppermint does have a strong tingling sensation, which I quite enjoy in my lip balms, but others may find over powering. I would recommend that the company uses a little less of the peppermint oil? Which is something I'm quite happy to say since I'm really quite enjoying an all natural company! Still planning on repurchasing from them, again. The packaging and the design of the lipbalms would make great stocking stuffers.

I'm a lip balm aficionado. okay, I'm a lip balm addict. I'm one of those people who has tried virtually ever lip balm, salve, chap stick out there. I'm super picky, as you can imagine... It can't be too gooey. Or too hard. It can't be too sweet. Or too artificial tasting. And it can't leave me wanting to re-apply in an hour, you know? It has to last a while. It's gotta have some staying power. I really really like this product. You get four options. They feel GREAT on your lips and they come in super interesting flavors... like, NOT strawberry or lemon. And! they're a small, family-owned company. I'm always down to support small... The only two slight negs for me: They're a tad sweet for my taste and I'm not a huge fan of green tea in general. But other than that, I'm stoked about what I've found in Beauty by Earth Lip Balm.

I like that it's a lip butter with no tint as it can be hard to find but the taste is aweful, goes on great but leaves your mouth tasting like you sucked on a bar of soap. I put a fruity Chapstick over it to counter the weird taste.

It's a good lip balm and all but not what I expected. Just reminds me of a grown up cherry chapstick. It's not sticky and applies smoothly, but I don't really see how it's any different than the rest.

No love or hate. It doesn't leave a white line on the inner perimeter of my lips or feel waxy. It doesn't feel particularly moisturizing either. It has a nice gloss initially, but wears off quickly. Will only use as a base for tinted gloss or lipstick.

This product is not nearly as moisturizing as another company's tinted balm, which I love but stopped buying because it was removed from the subscribe & save program. I need to apply this product two or three times as often as the competitor's product. Color choices are nice, though.

Its a good balm with a pretty tint (mine is cherry) so I use it alone during the day without having to put lipstick and looks great, but my only concern is that it dries too fast, after a little while you can't feel any moisture on your lips, I actualy feel them very dry so I have to keep on applying more every 1 and a half or 2 hours. I've always used Avon lip balms and I still consider them better over this ones.I would buy again just for the color not for the moisturizing effect.

First of all, I love the cherry scent that this has, I apply just because of it. It's so sweet and nice. The color payoff is very subtle right when you put it on but it goes away in less than an hour. So I keep it with me all the time to constantly reapply it (which I dont mind because of the scent as I said but it can be a little annoying to do it so frequently). About the moisturizing side of this. Yeah, I mean, it's okay, I have tried better and worse.I also like that there's no spark or shimmer whatsoever in this balm.In general: I'll keep using it but I wont repurchase it.

This was my 3rd repurchase. Loved the last 2 purchases. I stopped using chapstick or burts bee because of chemicals so I found this product. But the product changed. Acai smells too strong. Green tea flavor tastes weird and smell weird. Product changed, but will still use cause it's organic.

Could have stronger scents, can barely tell what each is supposed to smell like

After reading the reviews, I had high hopes for these lip balms. The problem I have is that it doesn't seem to last long and doesn't keep my lips supple for long enough. I feel it dries out for me too quickly.

I really loved the green tea and asian pear sticks the first time around. The other two flavors really weren't my favorite but I've never been a huge fan of acai and pomegranate to begin with. All of the flavors kept my lips hydrated super well which was nice.After buying a second set I found that the pear now smelled and tasted like bubble gum and the green tea like burnt rubber! The acai and pomegranate in that set were both head and shoulders better than the first batch too. As well as the product works, the inconsistency will probably keep me from buying again.

I ordered this product because I have severely dry lips this winter and they are beginning to peel and look awful I thought maybe this product would help. I have been very happy with it although it has a tendency to feel like it sits on top of your skin rather then absorbing and so hopefully it is absorbing in as well as protecting my lips.

meh..this is ok. Im not in love with it for the price tho. Melts easy in the car as well

Purchased the lip balm(pink punch) because it was a good price and it has spf. Description says spf 20 for this particular scent but it has no spf at all when received.Besides that, It is a decent lip balm.

this lip moisturizer is nice but I did feel my lips sucked it up I was dry 1 hr later... having to reapply isn't fun I need longer use

Put it on right before getting my drivers license picture taken. It looked okay in the car but in the picture I look like I should be standing on a street corner with those lips.

Not very moisturizing, no stay power, not good for dark lipsbut smells nice.I've tried another more cherry colored Baby Lips and liked that one a lot better. The color was sheer and worked better with the lip balm like formula. The color for this one is more opaque so you can end up with pretty streaky lips because the product doesn't spread evenly on your lips. I usually end up mixing this with a lipstick so the color is even. I have dark lips so the streaky pink baby lips on its own is not cute. Maybe if you have light colored lips the color distribution won't be an issue.

I bought this because of the great reviews, and I have to wonder what I'm missing. Have these other reviewers never really used lip balm before? It's decent enough, but it's too oily, offers extremely little color that could in no way be mistaken as your natural lip color (not only a weird shade, it just sits on top and doesn't *blend*) and has sort of a waxy taste to it. I'd pay a dollar for this. If I was desperate. Otherwise, if you want a lip balm with color try Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm or Almay's Liquid Lip Balm--they're more expensive but far better quality. This is just an overpriced cherry Chapstick. Skip it.

I never have a problem with chapped lips. A few hours after applying this, I started to notice myself getting chapped lips. I stopped using it and it stopped. I started again and it started again. It definitely feels like it's moisturizing your lips when you put it on (and that feels nice), but I just don't think it really is. As far as color, the pink was too pink for my face. I wish there was a better way to see color when you buy online, but I know that's difficult. I want red, but hate the taste of cherry. Since people said the color was faint and I liked the taste, I figured I'd try the pink punch. The flavor is wonderful but the pink shows up more than I expected. It's not quite like lipstick and fades fast, but it's definitely there.

I have an obsession with lip products. I’m very picky on what I put on my lips. When I saw these, I thought this would be perfect because all natural and organic ingredients can’t do any harm.Unfortunately, it seemed like I was reapplying this lip balm more often. My lips felt drier. I think the missing key ingredient would be jojoba oil. I don’t see this ingredient in the lip balm. I had high hopes but back to my search!

They have very weird feeling on the lips, taste funny, unpleasant at all. They don't look exactly like pictures posted, which have clearl caps.

Too much money for what they are

Doesn't have much staying power. Sort of don't understand what all the rave reviews were for. It wears off and the taste isn't all that awesome. MEH.

Good flavors but every tube I have tried ends up breaking off in the cap. Will NOT purchase again!

Its chapstick.. Nothing special. I was looking for something to keep my lips moisturized but this doesn't do the trick. If you need a chapstick with fun flavors but nothing special- this is for you.

As lovely as it was, it dried my lips out something fierce! I put it on all excited... and if I didn't reapply often enough, my lips GOT cracked and hurt. Never had that problem until this. I went back to the clear sunblock one they make. It reminds me of the beach and doesn't dry my lips out.

The package came fast and in perfect condition. The lip balm smells so good, but is a horrible color. It is streaky and comes off immediately. Would not recommend unless you just want something that smells good.

Felt good going on, re-applied often. But, unfortunately my lips were chapped and very dry. Will not be purchasing again.

Found out they test on animals. Boo. No product is worth the torture of animals.

Horrible lip balm, drys out and cracks lips.

It's very waxy feeling on the lips instead of moisturizing. I bought it because it's meant to be a moisturizing lip balm, but its not moisturizing and it feels irritating on the lips. There are way better lip balms with tint. The tint i expected to be light and buildable. Its very faint but it applies in an uneven way so parts are darker than others. Buy a better product.

Unfortunately these irritated my lips, caused my lips to peel and itch. I missed my chance awhile ago to return them and I decided to leave a review anyways. I have very sensitive skin and these did not work for me. I am also battling dry lips and these made it worse.

Very greasey

Disappointed, this just came in and was a stockin stuffer, and it was missing a tube!!

These actually seem to cause my lips to become more chapped when I use them :(

Box and pictures clearly state four different flavors. Box came with all peppermint...Guess what is my least favorite flavor?

Left lips dry after ten minutes, the scents seemed cheap and more reminiscent of fake cheap scents than natural ones.
