The search for the holy grail! The perfect lipbalm!

[ChickenVindaloo]

Hello, I've been addicted to lipbalm since I was in primary school. So I am now a seasoned expert.

I have them all over the house, in every handbag, at work etc etc. But I usually have to have several cos none of them do everything!

Ideally, it would:

1. Have SPF
2. Be slightly tinted
3. Not in a tin so it gets hot and melts
4. Not in a stick so it gets hot and snaps
5. Come with a mirror. In fact, it could come in a plastic tub with a mirror on the underside of the top, like Bobbi Brown lip & cheek tint.
6. Actually be very moisturising and not irritating to lips (I recently read Blistex does more harm than good!)

Does anyone else feel my pain?!

This is the only tinted one I've found, but I wonder if it would be as fab as the original one in the pot? €8.83 is doable if it lasts long and is gorgeous.

Burt's Bees are the best tinted lip balms. Come in loads of different colours.

Bite Beauty lip mask is hands down the best tinted lip treatment I've ever had. It's in a metal tube and comes in clear, a gold peach colour or a red berry colour. But I've only ever seen it in Sephora so unless you're placing a decent sized order to make the postage worth while then that's not much use. Wish they'd start selling Bite products here. They're all good.

Love Maybelline baby lips. The yellow tubed one is perfect as a base under lipstick and over the top of lipstick to freshen it up.

Otherwise lanisoh lanolin is the holy grail of lip balms but not what you're wanting.

This was so unhelpful sorry.

Just did a search for Nuxe tinted balm and this came up www.cocooncenter.co.uk/bio-beaute-tinted-repairing-lip-balm-15ml/14066.html?currency=GBP&gclid=CPvh4vDcyM8CFUI_Gwodk2AL1g says its Bio Beauty by Nuxe and the ingredients look pretty good. Two colours, peach and raspberry. Anyone tried these?

If you're in France, Avibon from French pharmacies (not parapharmacies) is excellent.

Carmex.

Another one that loves Badger balm. I usually use the unscented one but they do lots of different 'flavours' and also a tinted range.

There are a few shops that sell Badger but most of the stuff is hard to get hold off in the UK..I've just had a delivery today and it has come from Austria...

I know you said no sticks but this really is the best IMHO

There is no doubt in my mind that the absolute best lip balm ever is the one in the men's section at molten brown. £10 for a plastic squeezy tube and it lasts for ages. It is non scented (high on my check list) and non greasy. It also does not annoy my lips at all as most cheaper lip balms do. I think it's called vitamin lipsaver.

I to am an addict!
It has to be normal Carmex in a tube. I have loads dotted around the house, the Dc think it's funny to hide them from me!
I even wake up in the night and put it on, I need help!

I have definitely heard that Carmex is habit-forming.

Let's sue them!!

Clarins lip comfort oil is great. I use the raspberry one but tint if any is very minimal.

So glad I found this thread. Off to the shops I go!
