Tinted lip balm

33 replies

Pleasedontdothat · 05/04/2023 11:20

I’ve been using a tinted lip balm from Kiehls for years and it’s been the best one I’ve ever found however they’ve discontinued it 😕. I like it because it’s subtle while still definitely adding colour and it makes my lips feel great - the cheapo tinted ones aren’t the same. Can anyone recommend a good alternative as I’m about to run out?

I use Carmex tinted and also have a Labello (German) tinted one, I think they're made by Nivea, so maybe available here, I do prefer the Labello one, but the Carmex one is more subtle.

I like burts bees (although that may count as a cheapo one).

Heard good things about Clinique but not tried myself.

I love the Bobbi Brown liptints

GeneHuntsCowboyBoots · 05/04/2023 13:03

I like the Dior Glow one.

I'm addicted to tinted lip balms. High end I second Bobbi Brown. It's the only one I've actually used up.

I like the Nivea ones

BiliousOhGod · 05/04/2023 15:16

I like the Burt's Bees ones, too, but they are very pigmented.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 05/04/2023 15:16

8 hour ones are great - I use plum but there are lots of lighter shades.

Since Benefit so rudely discontinued their Benebalm
I’ve been on a mission to replicate the look and feel of it, spending £££ in the process.
The best so far is Boots No 7 Hydraluminous Lip Tint.

Sorry it’s cheapo but my fave is Vaseline rose - the only thing that doesn’t dry out my lips

8 hour is the best I've found

We've just got a new Home Bargains near us and I've discovered Dr PawPaw tinted lip balms in there for less than two quid. I've bought three different ones so far and love them. I think they are usually double that price and they have about six different types/colours.

Maybelline baby lips

Another vote for Burt's Bees

Lndnmummy · 05/04/2023 16:20

I tend to collect these. Guccis are divine as are Hermes. Nars and Sugar after that.

Thanks for the recommendations - I was passing Boots earlier so picked up some of the no 7 lip tint. I suspect that trying to find a replacement could be expensive 😬

Clarins as favoured by the Princess of Wales.

Korres lip butter is great, I keep one in various coat pockets and bags.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 06/04/2023 01:49

Another vote for Maybelline Baby Lips .
I use the Cherry Red which is a rosy pinky red colour.

Tropic lip fudge is lovely and the colour stays

I hate the burts bees it's not luxe at all

LeatherSkirt82 · 06/04/2023 08:32

I like Sugar ones.

I like the Nivea ones

I'm a tinted lip balm addict and I've had Nars,Mac, Bobby brown and Laura mercier over the years and my absolute fave is the Nivea watermelon shine. The cherry shine is also good.

Changeau · 06/04/2023 20:58

I really dislike the burts bees one. It's gloopy, smudgy and the twist up thing never works.
