The shade I picked up is 'Just Peachy' which is a muted pinky coral. I ordered this online so I was googling swatches and to be honest all of the colours in the range looked pretty similar to one another, but there is a clear option as well. They're all quite muted shades, as you would probably expect from a balm formula.
After using this for a few weeks i've come to the conclusion that i'm not a big fan of it. It has a very strong menthol scent (probably to tie in with the "medicated balm" concept) but I found it actually too medicinal and not very pleasant on the lips. I also wasn't keen on the way this applies and ultimately looks on the lips. It has quite a plastic-y look when its applied and reminded me of the sort of make up you'd get free in a magazine when you're young.
As you can probably tell from this picture, the Maybelline Baby Lips Dr Rescue balm seems to really sit on the lips and look streaky, which is a shame considering its a tinted balm, so a quick and even application is fundamental.
Whilst I was disappointed with the Maybelline Baby Lips Dr Rescue, I'm still a fan of the original baby lips line and the Electro range, so if you're considering trying out the Dr Rescues, then maybe go for one of those instead, as the formulation and the scent is much better!
As always, thanks for reading x
