I can't truly take credit for this. A post by Beauty and the Brown Girl sparked my interest in these alleged tinted balms.
Here's her review:

They claim to be a natural balm with a hint of color. A HINT? I don't think so. What they really are, are natural lipsticks.

Hmph.
Look at this!
Harmless enough, right? Looks like a balm... so you're thinking... it's probably going to behave like a balm. And then you swatch them:
Yeah, I don't know ANY tinted lip balm that swatches like that. Fresh (Sugar), I'm lookin' at you.
These little suckers might FEEL like balms on the lips (totally non sticky and moisturizing and even a little minty) but they wear like lipstick. Check it out:
#107
#101
#105
#102
#103
#106
I feel like Wet n' Wild just flipped everybody off... AGAIN! They did it the first tme with those Iconic Eyeshadow Palettes. These lovelies are $1.99 a pop. They look good on and (more importantly) they FEEL good on. The colors I've shown you were all I could find. There are three or four more out in makeup land eluding my grasp at the moment. Not to worry... ya'll know I am tenacious about this sort of thing...
Get 'em. Get one color, or all of them. At $1.99, how can you possibly go wrong?








Are they moisturizing?
ReplyDeleteVery! I'm wearing one right now... number #107. It's like Chanel's Taupe Grise, but in a lip balm. I'm pretty sure this color is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI need that #106 in my possession
ReplyDelete#106 is AWESOME. You see how opaque it is? Like a lipstick! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteohhh!! the colors are so pretty and pigmented! I can't believe that they're lipbalms. :O
ReplyDeleteI can't either sugar! They feel like a lip balm, but they totally look like lipstick! And TOTALLY cheap... that price is unbeatable.
ReplyDeleteoooh I love 107 it's a nice color
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking my review! I'm def going back to get 103,107, 105 and 102!
ReplyDelete#107 is my fave alvira! It's like a deep shimmer taupe/lavender. It's called 'cocoa' but it's nowhere near brown.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome TBG! Excellent review! It certainly made me curious!
Wow! I really like them. Looks like a lipstick. Thanks for letting me know. :)
ReplyDelete105 is my favorite I think!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Yourstruly! I was happy to learn about them from The Brown Girl. Jennifer, I tried them all on all over again. I think #102 may now be my favorite.
ReplyDeleteOh awesome!! They are so great for every day use!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try them!!
ReplyDeleteNow I want some, thanks lol!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! lol... they're so inexpensive, I feel good about promoting them!
