Best tinted lip balm?

69 replies

carrie74 · 23/05/2021 13:27

I fancy a lip balm that also gives a bit of colour, and would love some real life testimonials. I've got winter colouring, so would tend to avoid any hint of brown, beige or coral shades, but rosy pinks and berries are good. And definitely something that is actually a lip balm rather than a lip gloss.

Anyone got something that they love?

Burts bees lip shimmer definately has a colour

I had a dr paw paw and loved it, but it seemed to make my lips sore. Might try again as it looked really nice.
The one I go back to again and again is blistex lip brilliance. The colour us just right and it works brilliantly as a lipbalm too.

Not RTFT, @carrie74, with the Burt's Bees ones, they are clearly marked 'Tinted' and have a dark label. I've bought an untinted one (yellow stick with coloured cap) by mistake.
The tinted ones are fine.

This is amazing, thank you all so much, I've gone from no options to ALL the options! Love a Mumsnet rec x

Another vote for Maybelline Baby Lips.

Clinique Chubby Sticks in Strawberry.
Also Burts bees tinted balm in Rhubarb.

@Fallsballs they are so good!! I want them in every colour

Kjr33 · 24/05/2021 15:31

I want the new glossier ultralip but I don’t think I can justify the price! Will be looking at everyone’s more reasonable suggestions

BurningRed · 24/05/2021 21:17

I second @Bananaman123.

Have the Nars one in Orgasm. Beautiful.

DrRamsesEmerson · 24/05/2021 21:39

I like the Kiko ones. In a glam silver tube too!

KimchiLaLa · 24/05/2021 21:40

I have nars in dolce vita and it really is great

SylHellais · 24/05/2021 21:46

Watching. I’ve tried loads of tinted lip balms and find most of them have no real colour or are too thin in texture so you constantly have to reapply. I used Prada tinted lip balm for years but it was discontinued and I’ve never found anything matching it for colour or texture.

TheVampiresWife · 24/05/2021 23:08

Dr Pawpaw in red or coral. You can use them on your cheeks, too.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 25/05/2021 18:16

@Kjr33 just seen a review of the Glossier Ultralip on Really Ree
reallyree.com/glossier-ultralip-review-swatches/

I'm tempted by the Vesper shade

Gatekeeper · 25/05/2021 18:23

I really like the Blistex Brilliance. I use Blushing and it looks lovely..like 'my lips but better'

FictionalCharacter · 25/05/2021 18:36

Another vote for Burts Bees. That Blistex one looks good though.

carrie74 · 26/05/2021 10:12

I have made a start with a Burts Bees in Red Dahlia, so far so good Smile

I've just bought the Glossier Ultralip and I'm impressed with it so far. It's got a nice texture which isn't too sticky, gloss-like or rub off after 30 seconds and the colour is buildable. I have Vesper which is quite fuchsia but one light coat means the colour isn't too intense. I've just ordered the Villa and Fete colours too.

ArabeI · 28/05/2021 12:47

I bought Nars Afterglow lip balm a few weeks ago. It's a lovely colour but not very moisturising and needs to be reapplied often.

ArabeI · 28/05/2021 12:52

*Lovely colour being Nars Orgasm.

eurochick · 28/05/2021 12:55

The Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour tinted balms are fantastic - they give just the right amount of colour.

PalacePaper · 28/05/2021 13:28

I ordered two maybelline baby lips thanks to the recommendation on this thread - the cherry is lovely, I also got one called candied mint which is a lovely pink colour. Would definitely recommend Smile

Kjr33 · 28/05/2021 14:09

@TracyBeakerSoYeah please don’t add to the temptation! My credit card might self district if I try to use it on the glossier website again!!!

UthredofBattenberg · 28/05/2021 22:34

Another vote for tinted burts bees, also maybelline baby lips are good, though I find they can be a bit more "fake" in the colour whereas burts bees it's a more natural tint.
