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?

I’ve tried Burts Bees because so many people on here recommend it and I was baffled that it’s considered so good. The colour was nearly invisible, the texture was thin and it wore off really quickly. The fact that it was cheap seemed to be the only good thing going for it.

@TiberiusNero this is how I feel about The Ordinary 😂

😂 I agree about The Ordinary! I bought some foundation and a couple of other bits because everyone on here raved about how amazing it is and it was crap.

I like EOS lip balms (ever since getting a grapefruit flavored one in M&S summer box) - they usually clear but they do have some that add a natural bloom of colour to your lips. Quite subtle. They're usually quite pricey but I've found them in B&Ms recently at £1.50ish.

Also recommend Glossier ultra lip. Balms not gloss. I've got fete and portrait which are pinky tones. Really hydrating and you can build the colour nicely.

If you fancy trying glossier, here is my referral code. re.glossier.com/85bc184f. Gets you 10% off. Thanks in advance if you or anyone does.

Dr paw paw red or pink. When they fade it still looks lovely. Baby lips nice too particularly the purpley red but not as nice as pawpaw

The EOS lip balm made my lips sore, so be careful, not sure what is in it but I reacted to something

I have just bought the EA 8 hour tinted lip balm. Only used it a few times but it's lovely.

PalacePaper · 05/09/2021 10:06

Sorry to revive an old thread, but if anyone's still looking for recommendations I've recently bought Fruu Colour Balm from Holland & Barrett. It's really lovely, very softening and great colour (I got Cherry Lip)

EllaPaella · 05/09/2021 10:35

I have the Bobbi Brown one and it's really good

nahnahnahnahnahyeh · 06/09/2021 16:39

I have a nice nars one.

Marking place as I currently have the Carmen stick one but can’t find it anywhere anymore!

Has anyone tried the Glossier Cherrybalm dotcom?

Kerplunkk · 06/09/2021 16:50

Ah didn’t realise it was an old thread

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream comes in coloured lip balm shades. I've never much rated that range, but I do like the lip balms, especially the tinted ones. They look very lurid in the tube but are actually nice on.

Clarice99 · 06/09/2021 17:57

Dr Lipp is really nice. I love the Elderberry colour.

The often have Dr Lipp products for sale in TK Maxx and Homesense.

It's expensive but lasts ages and gives nice colour - By Terry Baume de rose, there are a few different shades.

I haven't tried the cherry but have the mango , berry and the mint ones. Love them!

Would say that there is little to no tint on the mango and mint one, but there is for the cherry. It's subtle but def there. One of those ones you can apply safely without a mirror and not worry you look like the joker.
I adore the smell of the mango one. I'm a sucker for mango body stuff though!!

Oh and if you want to try Glossier and haven't before, you can use my referral code if you like. Gets you 10% off your order.

re.glossier.com/85bc184f

Thanks in advance if you (or anyone does)

(I also rate the cloud paint, boy brow and lip gloss. My daughter loves the red one. I've still to try out other things! )

Apivita lip care are nice tinted balms.

I didn’t like Burts Bees, They felt greasy on me and the colours weren’t very nice.
