Lip Balm Face Off Week 6

Round 1 Recap:

Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch- It sells for $3.99, has a really nice fruity scent, good color that isn't too harsh, and lasts 4-6 hours. 

ELF Moisturizing Lip Tint in Nude- Sells for $3.00, it's minty, has a beautiful natural color, and lasts about 4 hours.

Choosing between these two brands is difficult. They sell for about the same price provided you buy the ELF in Target, if you have it shipped it will cost more.  They each deliver beautiful flattering color and each come in a wide varieties of colors so you are likely to find something that suits you. The ELF has a nicer texture going on, it's creamy a lot more like a lipstick than a lip balm. I prefer the scent of the Maybelline to the scent of the ELF, for me fruit punch trumps mint every time. The conditioning effect of the Maybelline is better. My lips felt softer and conditioned for longer with the Baby Lips than with the ELF. Honestly though no matter which of these you purchase I think you'll be happy. That being said I have to choose one so here it goes: 

So why did I choose this one? Fruit punch over mint, the longer lasting conditioning, and the availability. ELF is only sold online or in Target, but the Maybelline is available at any drugstore and even some super markets.
