Hello my lovely readership!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! For those of you who are waiting for a "favs of the month - may" post I can reassure you that I will include my favourite products of may into my "favs of the month - june" soon. I didn't have too much new products before so it would have been boring but a week ago I had a little buying frenzy which enhanced my favourites - but more to that in the post to come.
Today I want to talk about a topic that I have been planning on writing since forever. Till now my addiction for tinted lip balm sticks has grown to an amount I have to share with you guys. So lean back and enjoy!
The first lip balm I would like to introduce is the Pure Shine Colour Lip Balm by Catrice Cosmetics in the colour Don't Think Just Pink. The colour is well covering for a tinted lip balm whilst still being lighter on the lips as a lipstick in the same tone. The smell is close to vanilla which I really love since I am a sucker for vanilla fragrances. The low price is unbeatable and makes this lip balm a really good pick if you want to try out these sticks for the first time! Additionally to that it's a good dupe to the Clinique Chubby Stick "Mimosa" although the Catrice product has a little more red/orange to it.
Why not go on with the product I just mentioned. The Clinique Chubby Stick in the tone Mighty Mimosa. Clinique was one of the first brands to make tinted lip balm sticks popular which makes it worth mentioning! I talked about this product before and I still love the colour - a beautiful warm pink tone. Only downside still is the lack of any good scent. It reminds me of coloured pencils which I find quite disappointing due to the high price that comes with this lip balm. Pity since it would be a lovely product then.
Next lip balm I just bought recently lets my heart beat faster! It's the Isadora Twist Up Gloss Stick - Pink Punch. I didn't really plan on buying a gloss stick in a strong pink so far yet out of frustration finding nothing else I went for this one. All I can say is I love it! It's super comfortable to wear due to it's good coverage. Not comparable with a lipstick and the colour is just wow. Equal to the Catrice lip balm it also smells like vanilla.
Manhattan is usually not the brand I go for first when it comes to buying beauty products but I slowly have to wonder why. I already talked about two orange lipsticks by Manhattan which persuaded me and now another lip product caught my eye. Compared to the other lip balms above the Manhattan Glossy Lip Balm in the colour Nude Up! is not as tinted yet double as glossy. It's also not as firm in it's texture but creamy. With a hint of coral it makes your lips look juicy. The smell is very sublime so there is not too much to say about that. All in all it's wearable for all occasions being natural. But it reminds me a little too much of a normal lip balm. A little more colour would have been better.
The last tinted lip balms are my favourites in this section. I already have 5 different colours from nude to red and I just can't get enough! I am talking about the Soft Sensation Lipcolour Butter by Astor. Out of the five li p balms I have I picked out two because talking about all five would make a post on its own. The colours I chose are Loved Up and Pink Lady. Both colours are just perfectly tinted. I often use the colour Loved Up when I am wearing a heavy eye make-up and the Pink Lady tone whenever I want to have a cute and fresh make-up. And again - this really seems to cross all brands it smells like vanilla. Plus they have a huge assortment of different tones for a good price.
I hope you enjoyed reading my post! Do you have a favourite Tinted Lip Balm? If yes which one? Would you like to see a whole make-up with one of the products? Just leave a comment below!
I hope to see you next time!
Yours,
Kate
