Blossom with Maybelline's Lip Smooth Color Bloom

Happy Hump Day everyone! How has this week been so far? I hope everything's been lovely for all of you, because today, we'll blossom with Lip Smooth Color Bloom by Maybelline. 

Color Bloom is the new color changing Lip Smooth balm from Maybelline. It comes in a small plastic lipstick twist tube in two variants, Pink Blossom and Peach Blossom. What I purchased is Peach Blossom since I already have Lip Ice Sheer Color, a nice bright pink. 

Peach Blossom

When you twist the product up, you're greeted by a sweet smelling, white balm. It applies clear, and then changes color in a few seconds. The light, peachy scent also dissipates in a few moments.  Since mine was Peach Blossom, I expected it to turn into coral. What I got was a light pink tint.  Otherwise, it glides on smoothly, has an SPF of 16 and is moisturizing compared to Lip Ice Sheer Color. I just wonder what the difference between Pink and Peach Blossom is, if Peach Blossom gives me a pink tint. Maybe Pink Blossom is pinker?

Another thing I like about it is the packaging. Although the tube is plastic, it does not seem too flimsy. The part you twist is not loose either; it does have some give. The cover also has a very cute flowery design along with the brand name printed on. It's a very nice touch that added some kawaii to otherwise boring tube packaging.

Product description and ingredients

 Maybelline Lip Smooth Color Bloom color changing lip balms come in Pink Blossom and Peach Blossom. It retails for P99 (for 1.7 grams) and is available at Maybelline counters. I got mine at the Maybelline counter at SM Makati's department store. The SA was really cute and nice. :)

Maybelline Lip Smooth Color Bloom is Here!

I remember sharing my Lip Ice Sheer Color purchase last year. I still love it! I'm currently using the local version of the Strawberry flaroved Sheer Color. I even grabbed an unscented tube while in Hong Kong. It is quite affordable at P100+ for each tube. But guess what, there's something even more inexpensive!

Maybelline recently introduced Lip Smooth Color Bloom here in the Philippines. It's a color changing lip balm that appears as an opaque white in the tube. These lip balms swatch clear, then change in a few seconds. Most companies that offer color changing lip balms usually offer them in pink. Maybelline took this a step further, markets two shades Pink Blossom and Peach Blossom. I chose Peach Blossom since I already have two tubes of pink Lip Ice. I initially looked for this at SM Nortth EDSA's department  store Maybelline stand and Watson's at SM Annex, but they didn't have them yet. Trinoma, I heard, has this available. But I bought mine inside SM Makati's departnent store. (Happy Araw ng Makati to all!) This retails for P99 each.
