These products look great especially Burt’s bees
Would love to try one of these. Using moo goo tinted lip balm
I’ve been wearing Burts Bees Hibiscus for longer than I can remember! It keeps my lips feeling soft and moisturised, and gives them a lovely hint of colour.
I have a Burt's Bees one in Hibiscus which I received as a freebie ages ago as part of a Rewards Room purchase, still love it. A hint of colour when you don't want to wear a full lipstick. Great for the warmer months. Also have a few Clinique ones which were part of Gift with purchase offers.
I love Burts Bees but ive not tried one with a tint. I really need to give one a go. Could be perfect for work.
I love the Nude by Nature Sheer Glow Colour Balm in 02 Nude. It's super hydrating and adds such a nice natural tint for everyday wear.
Want to try the Mavala ones. Look gorgeous.
I love tinted lip balms. I just wore the NBN one yesterday
Kjaer weis ones. strong in pigment that I love, tints lips so well. Metal reusable compact, metal pan, oh love it.
Oh the NBN one looks interesting, tbh I didn't know about that one!
Ooooh the Mavala ones look like something I want to try! Will keep an eye out for them when I go past the chemist that I know sells it.
I love both Burts Bees and Mavala, Ive had great results from both with moisture and a pretty natural tint.
I've tried both NBN and Burt's Bees – and I like both of them. They don't last very well – that's a tint for you, but great to use as a balm or on top of a matte.
I love these
Love Burt's bees tinted balms, The Mavala looks interesting, I'll have to read the reviews on it.
I love burts bee’s OR Nivea has some really nice ones too.
Love the tints in Burt's Bee.
I do like a bit of tinted lip balm. I have the nude by nature one which is great.
Would love to try the Burt's Bees. I'm using a natural lip balm at the moment but would like to try one with a hint of colour.
I love the Burts Bees ones (I think I have the rose one and possibly others) and I may have some of the Natio ones hiding too, I shall hunt them out.
Absolutely love Burt's Bee's Tinted Lip Balms wouldn't mind trying Natios Lip Crayons. Actually prefer Lip Balms and Lip Glosses to wearing Lip Stick.
I love tinted balms!
Haven't tried any of these wouldn't mind trying the l'occitane , I like that brand for other products.
I've tried strawberry tinted lip balm in the past. I like the look of the Nude by Nature sheer glow lip balm.
Burts Bees is fantastic! I use a couple of times a week when i want a subtle bit of colour, and great to keep my lips hydrated
The Burts Bees ones are good!
I already keep Burt's Bees in my handbag on a permanent basis. Great for touch ups whilst on the go.
Burts Bees Hibiscus is great. Love it
I should try the Nude by Nature lip balm as I generally love their lip products.
I don't use lip balm very often, but when I do, I prefer tinted.
Some good ones for sure…
The Nude By Nature Sheer Glow in Berry is my absolute fav!
I love my Burts Bees lip balm in Fig, and I also regularly use Carmex in three different shades, and a Nude by Nature which gives just a hint of colour.
I like the look of the Natio crayons 🙂
I like that the colours are much lighter than a lipstick, perfect for everyday wear when you don't want to wear lipstick.
The Mavala looks so gorgeous
I have never tried Burts Bees products, but this one look pretty good and I think I will give it a try.
I would love to try Nude by Nature.
Burts Bees products are great – and affordable
Oh yes, I do love the Burt's Bees tinted lip balms. Good call Ruby Cotton.
They often do a trio of colours in a gift pack around xmas time.
I have the Burts Bees and absolutely love them
I don't buy tinted lip balms very often as I prefer clear ones. If I am going to buy a tinted lip balm, I prefer one that has more pigment.
I now prefer to use something more like a lip tint instead of lipsticks and the Burts Bees looks like a winner with our members. Will give that a try as I like their products.
Need to get a new one
Tinted lip balms are the best!
