Red tinted lip balm

I'm after one of these in a stick and the seem so elusive.

The Nivea ones all have a shimmer in them.

Just want an easy swipe on balm with a hint of colour.

Had benetint lip but it's in a pot and a bit goopy (and I've lost it)

Burt's Bees.

Isthisbatcountry · 19/10/2022 18:27

I second burts bees

TheBitterBoy · 19/10/2022 18:32

Elf do a nice one, watermelon is a sheer red here

SalviaOfficinalis · 19/10/2022 18:33

I quite like the burts bees pomegranate one.

So I was also looking for this and for my secret Santa present last year I got one of those mini lipstick queen things where the thing is green but it glides on with a hint of colour and so moisturising! So I swipe that on my lips daily. There's another one I used from nivea/vaseline tinted balm in a tube but by far the lipstick queen is great. Tried burtsbee too which is luxurious on the lips.

There's a Nivea one in the shape of a pencil that doesn't have a shimmer that I've seen. The staying power of the colour is good.

Ridingthegravytrain · 19/10/2022 18:43

I got a paw paw (think that's the brand) lip and cheek tint. Comes in a tube but goes on nicely

AuntieStella · 19/10/2022 18:44

Korres, Burts Bees or Badger

The link is just to show what it looks like, not to promote the retailer.

The tinted Burt's Bees ones are nice.

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour. They do a few shades. The darkest one gives a really good hint of colour.

mrsjimhopper · 19/10/2022 22:01

Thanks all! I'll check these out.

@WhoppingBigBackside thanks for the tip about the weird looking Nivea one!

KIKO do them in various shades.

Rutland2022 · 19/10/2022 22:39

I have vaseline Rosy Lips in a stick via Amazon.

OhIdeal · 19/10/2022 22:42

I second these recommendations.

I have a Nars sheer one (red exterior) which is pretty good but not that different from Burt’s Bees. I would say, save your money and go with the latter.

I love Elizabeth Arden 8 hour too, almost addictively so because not only is it moisturising and comes in fantastic shades without shimmer or glitter but also the feel when pressing it to the lip is comforting and strong, don’t you hate mushy balms that melt?! I’m not so keen on the ingredients of petroleum (same as Vaseline aka parabens) however, although it does have a good SPF.

I want to try the Ilia one but I can see from the photos that the sensory experience won’t be quite as luxurious.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 19/10/2022 22:45

The Dr Paw Paw one is great, in a tube but you can apply it from there. I lost mine on holiday and bought another the minute I got home. The Burts Bees ones aren't pigmented enough for me.

GetUsedToTheHeatAgain · 20/10/2022 06:54

I was going to say Paw Paw (TKmaxx have 4 colours) and Berts Bees but agree the BB one is not that colourful, but still nice.

MakeMineALarge1 · 20/10/2022 06:55

Dr Paw Paw or Burts Bees both fabulous

Spareline · 20/10/2022 07:10

I must be missing something about Burt’s Bees because I bought the pomegranate one too and there is barely any tint at all. I thought it was rubbish.

The pomegranate one isn’t one of the tinted ones I don’t think? The tinted range is different to the flavoured. The tubes are black, not yellow.

TerrierOrTerror · 20/10/2022 07:15

They are more pricey than most of the suggestions, but the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments are what I wear on a daily basis and I really like them. Moisturising and good colour, but they also last well and wear off evenly. They are packaged like a usual lipstick so no melting anywhere.

I found colour payoff of Burt's Pomegranate awful, and their crayon style ones make my lips itch.

Coffeepot72 · 20/10/2022 07:23

Another vote for the tinted Vaseline balm

My mistake, I meant I bought one of the tinted ones as well as pomegranate but conflated the two in my mind.
