Lip balm/tint help required!

Can anyone recommend a properly moisturising, non-greasy, quick absorbing, nicely coloured lip balm or moisture gloss?

I have tried legions of them and nothing is right; EOS didn't sit right (too waxy), NYX gloss (too sticky), Maybelline Baby Lips also wasn't quite right.

I'm in mourning still for what was the perfect moisturising lip gloss - Max Factor Gloss Cube Shade #10 which eBay has finally and sadly run out of...Max Factor ceased making it in 2013.

My dream is to find a perfect replacement that I can buy multiples of and carry one with me everywhere. But every time I buy something new it's not right.

Can anyone help? I have very bloodless lips and am tired of looking like a sad ghost.

Dior lip glow is beautiful, nice texture to wear and really does adjust to your skin tone - they have 3 different shades now (I think) I've tried the original and the berry one. It's definitely more of a balm/tint than a heavy lipstick and you can adjust the intensity of the colour with layering it. It's one of those lippies that you use until it's gone, its worth the cost. I'd love to try a dupe if anyone knows one 😉

I bought the BarryM oil (they only had clear coconut)

TBH, I woudn't wear it out as a lipgloss , its as gloopy as sin.
And its gone as soon as I drink coffee .
But it'll work as a night balm .Last thing at night it might stay on.
