Today’s Featured Comment
I’m a fan of tinted lip balms. My go-to right now is a chubby lip pencil from Clinique, but have also used Burt’s Bee’s, Boots, Cover Girl, and several other drugstore brands I found at Target.
I don’t know if it’s an elixir or not. But I do know it makes me happy to have a new color, and to smooth it on and feel like a different person! Cheap therapy, I’d say. And it helps with the chapped lips, too (not giving up kissing, so have to invest in moisturizing lip treatments!)
If I had to give up every cosmetic/beauty product but one, this is the one I would hang on to.

Do you have a favorite tinted lipbalm?

I use Burt’s Bees.
I use Burt’s Bees, too, but need to reapply more often than I’d like.
Thanks for the tip, Redhead.
Buxom sticks are my go to lip color. Amsterdam is the perfect shade – a little color, pinkish natural, looks better than my plain lips
You got me really interested in these until I read a review that said they have an annoying smell. I don’t care for any smells actually, so I won’t be going after these. Too bad.
There is no smell with Buxom. I don’t know what that’s all about. I also hate smells.
That’s great to hear. The reviewer said there was a strong vanilla smell. I’m going to look at buying these. Thanks.
You will like Buxom. Get it at Sephora.
I love Elizabeth Arden 8 hr tinted lip balm. It is absolutely the best. And you can get it untinted for bedtime use. Every other lipstick makes my lips peel.
I use Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm. Love it!
