Imagine a tinted lip balm that has the pigment of a lipstick and shine like a gloss. I have to confess, I never expected to fall in love with the Sisley Phyto Lip Twist collection. I received a couple of these in my Neiman Marcus Ambassador Beauty Box and quite frankly, I overlooked them but last month when I attended the Beauty & The Blogger event at Mazza Gallerie, I was treated to a little mini makeover at the Sisley counter and developed a new appreciation for them.
Applied with a single twist, this tinted lip balm moisturizes while adding shine and luminosity to your pout. It’s an XXL pencil that doesn’t need a sharpener and comes in variety of nude and intense colors. I keep #2 in Baby (a light pink) in my handbag at all times for every day wear. I’m also loving #5 in Berry for a simple take on the vampy lip.
You can scoop up these tinted lip balms and all your must-have beauty essentials right now at the Neiman Marcus Fall Beauty Event. Stop by your local Neiman Marcus to receive a complimentary tote and the latest fall beauty samples (think YSL Rouge Eye Cream, Oribe Gold Lust Shampoo and Conditioner, Burberry’s new My Burberry fragrance, Glamglow Facial Set, among other luxe indulgences) with your $125 cosmetics purchase. I have to say, I’m really liking the promo bags they have this season. It’s like they were specifically made for every working Washingtonian.
I have yet to meet a tinted lip balm I don’t like. And Benefit’s new Hydrating Tinted Lip Balms are no different. In hot and humid temperatures, I can’t bare to wear anything but these soft and nourishing formulas. Seriously, my lipsticks are gathering dust because I’m too busy rotating between these tubes. Inspired by their very popular collection of lip and cheek tints, these four pretty packaged balms are great for wearing alone or layering underneath your favorite lippy. Even if you have a pretty minimal beauty routine, tinted lip balms are a must. They give beautiful color, lots of shine and prevent what I like to refer to as, “sticky lips,” (you know, that feeling you get when your pout is completely naked). The $18 price point is a bit steep so if you’re on a budget, I highly recommend investing in one staple color like Benebalm (a classic cherry red) or Posiebalm (poppy pink). I’d love to know, which shade are you most interested in trying?
I have yet to meet a tinted lip balm I haven’t liked so when I had the opportunity to sample Nivea Kiss of Care & Color collection, my expectations were pretty high. Fast forward a couple weeks later and three of these tinted lip tubes have taken up permanent residence in my Stephanie Johnson small cosmetic case. Available in five different shades (crimson, coral, pink, berry and caramel), these tinted lip balms are equal parts moisturizing and pretty (they’re infused with moisture core technology wrapped in a shell of color). Factor in the affordable price point and compact product size and you my dear, have your lip wardrobe all set for spring.
With (hopefully) warmer temperatures around the corner, there is no better time than to stock up on moisturizing lip products.
