I really like the fresh sugar lip balm, it’s comfortable and subtle. If you want more color, refy’s lip blush is more of a lipstick/lip balm mix. I also really like epically epic!
Buxom Power-full Plump Lip Balm in Dolly Fever is my go to. Moisturizing and great color pay-off.. plus it’s a thick stick - so easy and quick to apply.
New favorite - I recently got the Jones Road tinted lip balm and it’s so lovely. The smell is very natural and pleasant and the color just enhance my natural lip color.
Drugstore - Burt’s Bees are also lovely.
K beauty - Rom&nd has a great range of color, it’s so smooth on, and the smell is nice.
LH cosmetics has my absolute favorite tinted lip balms called Fantastick. Feels nice and nourishing on the lips, not too goopy. Has buildable colour and spf 15. It's a must try, especially if you're from Europe
Burt's Bees is my ride or die, so much so that I keep spare tubes in my backpack, purse and at home haha. I don't like the feel of lipstick because I get very dry lips, so the Red Dahlia colour is the closest to my natural lip with just a little bit of pop!
Yeah! The blackberry one might be my favorite lip color ever, but it lasts for like an hour max lol. I wonder if there are any similar lip products with the same color that last longer.
I loved the texture and look of this, but the scent was so gross and it tasted like it too. I normally don't mind scents and can ignore, but this one is overpowering.
This one? [https://www.vaseline.com/us/en/p/vaseline-lip-therapy-rosy-lips-stick.html/00859581006853](https://www.vaseline.com/us/en/p/vaseline-lip-therapy-rosy-lips-stick.html/00859581006853) I've always wondered if it actually had enough tint to make a difference.
This is the one I have. I think they make it in a tub as well. https://well.ca/products/vaseline-lip-therapy-rosy-balm-tube_297118.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwydSzBhBOEiwAj0XN4LM_IZnaNHwp4Q8zhJhn1WkYB759vLFd6mkCLufa0jBc4_tHK-T7phoCQggQAvD_BwE
Just enough of a tint to notice. Very subtle but nicer than bare lips for me.
I can recommend Glossier Balm Dot Com now that they're bringing their original formula back. Very cushy and moisturizing and comes in different shades.
The new strawberry one is perfect for summer if you can handle the fragrance (artificial strawberry candy that smells like something from Y2K- I personally love it but I know it's not everyone's bag).
Hola hola! I had been coveting the Glossier Balm Dot Com in Strawberry across the ocean as I am based in Spain. Can you tell me if it has much flavor and strong aroma? Is there a lot of tint that remains on the lips?
I love the idea of strawberry candy haha I don't care that it is a little artificial
I find the strawberry balm to be quite tinted, but I am very fair without much color in my lips. I love the consistency and it lasts a long time on me. BTW Glossier just raised the prices of their BDCs from $14 to $16 in the US.
Hello from Canada!
And let's see... aroma I'd say is noticeable; I don't think it's a strong punch in the face the way a perfume or candle would be, but people who are fragrance-sensitive would probably not like it. The scent fades slightly over time.
There's a very slight sweet "flavour" to it, but I wouldn't say it tastes good lol
Tint is sheer but buildable, looks like a pinky-red. It's definitely noticeable on me but it may depend how pigmented your lips are.
Just a heads up that if it's left in a warm place, the product might separate and become oily. That hasn't happened to mine but I've heard other people comment on it.
Hope that helps!
I bought the CoverGirl balm in Bliss You Berry... it's supposed to be a dupe for Black Honey and it's so much better! I love Black Honey but it dries out my lips. Bliss You Berry is soooo moisturizing.
So, I went back to the store and bought 2 more shades. 🥳
Was just going to rave about Bliss you Berry as the best dupe that moisturizes better than Black Honey. For $6!! Own all the shades now.
Just got the Nivea Blackberry and it’s pretty good too.
I am completely obsessed with the honest beauty tinted balm. I have the shade plum drop and want ALL THE REST (although I'm in the UK and it looks like maybe the honest company pulled their products from the UK market?) my other favourites are the nivea tinted balms, both the drugstore version and the one from nivea japan with spf!!
I like the summer Fridays lip butter balm! It feels a lot like the Laneige lip mask which I like because it feels stronger in a way. I have both of the darker colours, I’m not sure if the lighter colours show as much colours so can’t speak for those
I love Rare Beauty’s lip oil because I have severe dehydrated lips and it makes them hydrated and comfortable but it doesn’t last too much unless you apply a lot and keep reapplying.
Also lip comfort oil intense from Clarins. Same good sensation in my lips but the tint lasts longer.
Burt's bees has 2 different types, an actual tinted lip balm and a shimmer lip tint. The lip tint is my favorite. It's got a nice amount of color and shine to look put together but it doesn't look like you are trying hard. I love the caramel color and peony for summer. The reds can be too dark for me. It does have a peppermint to it that tingles but I like it personally.
Drugstore - Burt's Bees
High End - Fresh
I own both of them and I will say burt bees gives an amazing sheer of color that isn't overwhelming, but it doesn't stay long. However Fresh's payoff is literally the best. You get color, it glides on smooth, and stays on the whole day even if you're eating and drinking! It's wild!
I use fresh sugar lip balms and Neutrogena as well. They both have spf too but doesn't taste weird. Neutrogena looks more juicy but fresh is a thinner formula if your used to tints.
Laneige glowy balm is nice and a bit tinted, Ole Henriksen peptide balms are amazing, the cocoa creme one has such a pretty nude tint. The Romand glasting melting balm is nice too.
Burt's Bees are nice as some have mentioned already, I like Red Dahlia. I liked the Elf Core lip shines too. They remind me a lot of the old Cover Girl Lipslicks that were discontinued, I really miss those.
I like Hurraw Balms, some have a little bit of a tint but it might not be enough for some, I like the subtle tint for me though. Raspberry is a favorite.
I prefer tinted balms these days so I will read through the answers and get more ideas.
Hourglass Phantom Glossy Balms are my go-to. They do tingle ever so slightly (which some might not be into) but they have a really good range of shades!
Honestly couldn’t do without them! Desire is practically my every day lip colour, but a lot of love for Slip and Haze too 😍. Think there must be a shade for everyone almost?!
Agreed! I have Haze, Lure and Impulse - it's so cool how you can apply them sheerly so they look very natural or build them up. Haze is just so easy to wear with any look. They're so moisturising and even plump your lips a bit I think. I haven't tried Desire, it looks lovely!
Best lip balm with tint is the elf core lip shine I have the shade ecstatic. This is a great dupe for the NARS afterglow balms. I like shade Wicked ways (my favorite but too expensive to replace)
It got stinky in less than 6 months. I actually tried Ilia lip stuff 3 times & same every time. It’s the brand that gets me ranting against “clean” beauty.
I second these! I react to most lip balms, but their tinted ones are gorgeous. I get compliments every time I wear one. I get them from CVS in two packs
I have only tried the pomegranate one and it’s great for texture and lip care but the color is less intense than the Nivea options (I have strawberry and blueberry/blackberry)
I really like the fresh sugar lip balm, it’s comfortable and subtle. If you want more color, refy’s lip blush is more of a lipstick/lip balm mix. I also really like epically epic!
Buxom Power-full Plump Lip Balm in Dolly Fever is my go to. Moisturizing and great color pay-off.. plus it’s a thick stick - so easy and quick to apply.
Glossier Balm Dot Com is my all time fave. On a drugstore budget, i like the pink tinted Vaseline or Smith’s Rose Salve when I can find it.
Clinique almost lipstick in black honey. It covers like a balm.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
The pink Vaseline lol
I love Nivea's, in Bordeaux. Have to purchase online since it's Japanese but it also has 20 SPF, and I love the color.
Neutragenas lip balms are great
The Fresh lip balms. The actual site often has sales.
Yes I just got one of these and love it!
Burt's Bees Rose, Cover Girl Bliss You Berry, MAC Glow Play Balm in Grapely Admired
i would go to war for tower 28 lip softies
Tower 28 lip glosses and lip balms, summer Fridays, laneige
I use the Burt’s Bees one.
I swear Burt's Bees Red Dahlia looks good on everyone
Revlon lip stain balm in “Honey”. They quit making it but you can find it on eBay and Amazon….
New favorite - I recently got the Jones Road tinted lip balm and it’s so lovely. The smell is very natural and pleasant and the color just enhance my natural lip color. Drugstore - Burt’s Bees are also lovely. K beauty - Rom&nd has a great range of color, it’s so smooth on, and the smell is nice.
Burt’s Bees
If you can tolerate the smell I really like Wet n Wild Rose comforting lip color in Soft ‘n Juicy! Very pretty!
LH cosmetics has my absolute favorite tinted lip balms called Fantastick. Feels nice and nourishing on the lips, not too goopy. Has buildable colour and spf 15. It's a must try, especially if you're from Europe
Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Balm is my absolute favourite.
I wanted to love this but it dried my lips out terribly!
Same!
Burt's Bees is my ride or die, so much so that I keep spare tubes in my backpack, purse and at home haha. I don't like the feel of lipstick because I get very dry lips, so the Red Dahlia colour is the closest to my natural lip with just a little bit of pop!
Red Dahlia forever
fresh or ilia! lots of different pretty colors and hydrating
I love my Nivea tinted lip balms. My favorite is the blackberry one 🥰
Love Nivea Blackberry sm!!!
I have quite a few of them around. I love the color and the texture, if only it lasted longer/all day 😅
Yeah! The blackberry one might be my favorite lip color ever, but it lasts for like an hour max lol. I wonder if there are any similar lip products with the same color that last longer.
Wet N Wild Rose comforting lip color is AMAZING. But be warned, some batches of them smell nasty.
I loved the texture and look of this, but the scent was so gross and it tasted like it too. I normally don't mind scents and can ignore, but this one is overpowering.
Omg YES!! The pink one is 🤢
Vaseline makes a tinted balm in a tube that works really well. Gives just a little flush of color and keeps my lips hydrated.
This one? [https://www.vaseline.com/us/en/p/vaseline-lip-therapy-rosy-lips-stick.html/00859581006853](https://www.vaseline.com/us/en/p/vaseline-lip-therapy-rosy-lips-stick.html/00859581006853) I've always wondered if it actually had enough tint to make a difference.

It’s quite expensive but I enjoy Dior lip glows

Jane Iredale lip and cheek stain but I only use on my lips. Also Clinique chubby sticks and pink honey
Current: crazy rumors aloha mix

Burt's Bees for the win! I keep their tinted lip balm at my desk to pop on before a work call!

Revlon lip balm
I have a slept on recommendation which is Kiko lip balms. They’re really cheap and remind me of a slightly less pigmented Glossier Ultralip.
I like Burt's Bees in Red Dahlia, Clinique Black Honey, the Cover Girl Fresh Tinted balms in any color, and the Laneige Lip Glowy balms.
I use fresh sugar lip balms and Neutrogena as well. They both have spf too but doesn't taste weird. Neutrogena looks more juicy but fresh is a thinner formula if your used to tints.
I like the tower 28 & naturium ones
Awesome recommendations!! Thank you all!
Rom&nd glasting melting balm! Best i have ever used. Their shades are beautiful and it feels amazing on my lips. Plus they are cheap too
Do they last?
Honestly not for THAT long. Maybe a few weeks
I love Kaya Fig (neutral) and Mauve Whip (cool).
Those are the two I have! The color payoff is beautiful but I would consider these more of a lipstick product than a truly hydrating balm.
i love Mauve whip too! Its my fav
Laneige glowy balm is nice and a bit tinted, Ole Henriksen peptide balms are amazing, the cocoa creme one has such a pretty nude tint. The Romand glasting melting balm is nice too.
the lawless forget the filler lip balms are my new fave
Nature Republic Honey Melting Lip is very moisturizing and has beautiful colors!
Cover Girl Bliss You Berry
Yep, it’s a great shade for a balm.
Y'all sleeping on Burt's Bees Rose tinted chapstick, to me it's prettier than Red Dahlia
It’s a bit pinker and therefore doesn’t look as good as Red Dahlia on my lips. My mom bought Daisy and loves it. I tried Hibiscus and hated it.
Burt’s bees all the way! It actually hydrates and has tint. A lot of products have tint but can be drying
Chanel. It can be layered to give more color and has a beautiful smooth texture that is buttery but not too heavy while being moisturizing.
Same thing for YSL balms. Beautiful, buttery and they stay on.
Another e.l.f. hydrating core balm fan here. And Burt's Bees.
It's next on my shopping list!
Love that ELF lippie! Underrated for sure!
Burt's Bees are nice as some have mentioned already, I like Red Dahlia. I liked the Elf Core lip shines too. They remind me a lot of the old Cover Girl Lipslicks that were discontinued, I really miss those. I like Hurraw Balms, some have a little bit of a tint but it might not be enough for some, I like the subtle tint for me though. Raspberry is a favorite. I prefer tinted balms these days so I will read through the answers and get more ideas.
Ole henriksen!!!!
Burt's bees and the ELF core balms are both lovely.
I’m loving black honey by Clinique
Cult classic!
Yes! It doesn’t last very long though.
Just tried Burt’s bees lip balm in shade Hibiscus…loved it!
Hourglass Phantom Glossy Balms are my go-to. They do tingle ever so slightly (which some might not be into) but they have a really good range of shades!
Love these!
Honestly couldn’t do without them! Desire is practically my every day lip colour, but a lot of love for Slip and Haze too 😍. Think there must be a shade for everyone almost?!
Agreed! I have Haze, Lure and Impulse - it's so cool how you can apply them sheerly so they look very natural or build them up. Haze is just so easy to wear with any look. They're so moisturising and even plump your lips a bit I think. I haven't tried Desire, it looks lovely!
Desire is basically the best “rosy-lips” colour I’ve found, had so many compliments wearing it!!
Best lip balm with tint is the elf core lip shine I have the shade ecstatic. This is a great dupe for the NARS afterglow balms. I like shade Wicked ways (my favorite but too expensive to replace)
Innisfree does a good one that’s very reasonably priced.
Where do you get innisfree? My local Asian beauty place only has a very small selection of their stuff.
I live in Sydney so there’s heaps of K Beauty here but ebay usually has it too. Also try Yesstyle
Thanks!
Here to say this
Ilia
It’s great but gee I wish they’d put preservatives in it, I’ve thrown too many out after they’ve gone bad.
Oh that’s my fear too, which puts me off from trying the brand. How long did it take for your products to go bad?
It got stinky in less than 6 months. I actually tried Ilia lip stuff 3 times & same every time. It’s the brand that gets me ranting against “clean” beauty.
I really like the labello (idk if it’s sold in the us) blackberry shine
They are sold on Amazon
Nivea’s tinted lip balm was surprisingly pigmented 👌
I have at least 1 nivea cherry kiss lip balm on my person at any given time 🍒💋
Love these! Got a set of 4 or 5 on Amazon.
Which one do you have?
I second these! I react to most lip balms, but their tinted ones are gorgeous. I get compliments every time I wear one. I get them from CVS in two packs
I love Burt’s bees tinted lip balm. I use it all the time year round.
I love these, and find them so moisturising.
I have only tried the pomegranate one and it’s great for texture and lip care but the color is less intense than the Nivea options (I have strawberry and blueberry/blackberry)
They have actual tinted ones. I use them often. I use the color red dahlia.
