Seems every line has tinted lip balms that don’t look like your traditional lip balm but I ain’t complaining! I actually like them for the most part as they are packed with nourishing lip ingredients along with the color. PIXI BEAUTY has their Tinted Brilliance Balm and they just added three new colors. They describe theirs as more of a glossy gel that when the balm wears off, the lips are left with tint that your own pH level adjusts.

I've never tried these before and the one I was sent to test out was the Lucent Glow – a rose gold shimmer in translucent pink base. Nice color in the tube and on lips but this one has no stain to it – I know I was sad because I really love the stains but this one left behind a nice iridescent glow. $16 @ pixibeauty.com.

Not of fan of sticking my fingers into my balms, this MOR COSMETICS Lip Macaron is the perfect circumference to swipe directly from the tin to my top lip and then bottom lip. They call it a lip gloss but I’d call it more of a lip balm as feels more like one and contains vitamin E and I don't know many glosses that contain vitamins.

And packaging is so important when it comes to luring a woman to your product and MOR fully understands this! Isn't it fun? Available in 7 scents and show here in Lychee Flower. $10 @ morcosmetics.com.

I’m kind of a big fan of tinted anything – face cream and especially lippies. The latest is JOUER Lip Sheer SPF 15 and this is a tinted oh-so-good-for-lips sheer colored balm. Each light vanilla-scented balmy has vitamin E and aloe to moisturize and just a slight kick of color. Great for when you don’t feel like wearing makeup but need a little something to look polished. Shown here - St. Barths – sheer coral red, Positano – sheer berry wine $22 @ jouercosmetics.com.
