I bought this yesterday in Sunset Pink. I'm very pale (with freckles! :D ) I paid about $4.50 for it. Overall, its okay. It adds a very slight hint of colors to my lips. At the same time, if you were to look at me without it I'm not sure you could even tell the difference. Heck, I could put it on the left side and not the right and I'm not sure you could see the difference.
As for moisturizing, its not to amazing so I wouldn't buy it if you need to help dry or cracked lips. It more for those who aren't into lip stick or lip gloss fans. I may invest in the "bright red" one to see if that adds a pretty color, but I'm still not sure.
Overall its okay for lips that arn't cracked. If you're lips are "healthy" and you want to keep them from getting dry or cracked on a daily basis I'd say it'll work fine.

I got this in "Coral Sunshine", which is a shimmery sheer coral color. This balm is not as pigmented as, say Korres lip butters, but it gives you a nice neutral glossy sheen to the lips. My lips are a bit pigmented, so I don't get much of the coral color effect, but neither does my pale arm.

When you apply the lip balm it feels tingly, sort of like the Burt's Bees lip balms. It does not have the same "healing" and moisturizing feeling the BB's have though, it feels like an average lip balm. Because of the sheer color, it's easy to apply - you don't have to worry about missing your lips or something.

I wish this balm was a bit more tinted, and that it had a better healing effect on chapped lips. This, and the small size - 2.6 grams is almost half the size of regular lip balms, takes away a couple of lippies. I paid £4.99 for it. It is 95% organic, without parabens and mineral oil and all that jazz.

// I would reccomend this to those looking for a very neutral and organic lip color, with little to no need for a super moisturizing lip balm . //

LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! i was debating between this one and the burts bees but i love this one way more! it is nice and easy to apply does not have glitter in it like the burts bees and has a natural look to it like if you had applied really expensive lipstick lightly. my lips feel much plumper put it could the future e moisturizer i'm using aswell so? only downside i can find is that you apply often but since i love this stuff i dont mind then i could use it up and try all the shades! instead of wasting away for months with my unwanted makeup

First off, I do like this product, but I hate it aswell
I paid £5.00 pounds for this, and all I can say is that I feel as if I got ripped off, on a website, (I cant remember what its called) it looked big, but I was SOO disapointed when it came in the post and was as thin as a chopstick. I got mine in coral Sunshine, even though the colour kinda clashed with my hair, it gives my lips a really sheer glow and I think it looks nice. The smell is ok, kinda overpowering, but I still like it. It doesnt stay long at all, but I like reapplying lip balm when I am bored, so thats ok, but one thing that makes me the most annoyed is that the packaging makes it go up, but you have to push it down, and i warm mine up to make it kinda creamy, and when I trie to put it down it goes all mushy and all over the place.
I would MAYBE like to get another colour only if it was on sale, because I just cant get to grips me paying £5.00 for a lipbalm so small, and that has the lasting power of 2 seconds, but I would like to trie cotton Candy too!

I'm saying No To Carrots. It's not moisturizing at all. This stuff seemed to just sit on the surface of my lips, looking waxy and cakey. I ended up chucking this in the garbage. If you're looking for a decent lip tint, I recommend Burt's Bees.

Love, love, lovee this product. I'm going to buy all of the shades. I like this because it's very moisturizing and it gives a nice shimmer to my lips. It's not as pigmented as I would prefer, but it gives a little bit of a tint---as the name "C me blush Lip tint" suggests. ;D Plus, it's organic... so it has no harsh ingredients. Which is great. <3 continued >>

I was looking for an organic product but can't tolerate the very STRONG minty feel of this balm - it's so strong it HURTS! No thanks.

It's frustrating when you buy a product that labels itself as a "tint" but it doesn't tint at all. I purchased the product in the color "C Me Blush" (the one with the pink cap). I don't like the consistency of the product either; it's very waxy. I thought this product would give my lips a nice tint but it failed to do that. If you are deciding to buy this or their lip butter, definitely get the lip butter instead.

This is a good lipbalm. It applies smoothly on the lips and has a tingly sensation, and has a sheer MLBB tint to it (in Sunset Pink). I have pigmented lips so it doesn't really show up. It just gives my lips a sheen and makes them pretty soft.
I bought this at full price ($5) at Target. This lip balm would be worth it if it were $1 or $2, so please wait until it's on sale... I regret buying it full price ! :(
EDIT: nevermind, it's not MLBB unless you have really red or rosy lips. also, if your lips have dry spots or flaky/peeling skin, this will accentuate them and make your lips look gross. i'd use this to add color to my lips rather than as a lip balm.

This is one of the worst products i've seen. The texture is horrible and waxy, NOT smooth or creamy. It goes on rough and thick and accentuates the cracks in your lips. It's so gross. And the skinny little tube is a joke. I'll stick to Kiss My Face or Badger Balm.

I found this at my local Target for $4.49 USD, which is 50 cents cheaper than Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers; 50 cents isn't a big deal, but it will pay for my flavored syrup in my coffee at my local cafe, so I figured I'd give the cheaper version a shot and picked up Sunset Pink. Mistake mistake mistake. I know these are tinted lipbalms and therefore the color won't last super long, but all the other tinted lipbalms I have used (Burt's Bees, Tarte, MAC, Stila, even Bonne Bell!) last at least about an hour before I need to reapply if I'm not eating/drinking anything. The Yes to Carrots version lasted all of ten minutes. The color was okay, a very neutral pink, but also a bit too close to my lip color to be effective (Seriously, I've been having this problem a lot lately). Bottom line: fork over the extra 50 cents and get the Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer for a similar minty tingle but for a MUCH better color payoff and performance. The flavored syrup can wait.

I have this in Coral Sunshine and don't recommend it. This little tube quite simply isn't worth the $5 it retails for. I like the slight tingle and taste. I like the tint. I like the sleek, portable packaging. But that's it. I will not repurchase because this product has some of the worst lasting power on the market, and, while it's not drying, it isn't very emollient either. I have to layer and layer and layer just to feel like I have anything on my lips. I also don't particularly like the color selection. I've noticed that, for whatever reason, pigmented lip products marketed as natural or organic tend to have brown undertones (maybe to go with the whole earthy vibe?), and I prefer clean, bright colors. Finally, I simply feel like this is a very cheaply made product. It twists out like a Chapstick, yet isn't retractable, and the lid doesn't snap shut easily. It also just sort of sits on the lips, rather than sinking in and moisturizing like a balm.
By now I've probably tried dozens of sheer, moisturizing lip colors, and this definitely isn't one of my favorites. As an alternative, I'm really liking Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Glossy Shinestick, and I also really like Korres lip butters (one downside is that they're currently only available in pot form in the US) and Nivea Kiss of Shine lip glosses.

I bought this lip tint in Chocolate Kiss. Great, brown tint that feels good on the lips. The only drawback that I've noticed is the short color life span. I had to re-apply two hours later, but the minty tingling sensation was a definite positive. I like how the ingredients are all natural - similar to Burt's Bees products. I think I will try another, more nude shade soon.

I have this in Sunset Pink. Not a big fan of the mint flavor. The pigmentation is quite good - could be named a sheer lipstick and not a tinted balm (as someone mentioned below). Overall not a bad product if you are a fan of minty flavors. It also has great ingredients and is not tested on animals. I love the slick tube.

This is a pretty good product, it was just unfortunately named. It's not a lip tint. It's in lip-balm form, making you think that it's probably a tinted lip balm. It's not really that either. To me, given the pigmentation and consistency of this, it's more like a lipstick on the sheer side that can be buildable.
It's slightly less pigmented a lipstick, maybe even more so than some others. It goes on pretty opaque but can be made sheer-er with the blot of a tissue. Like an average lipstick, you have to reapply every few hours or whenever you eat/drink, whichever comes first. It's relatively moisturizing, but not enough so that I'd call this a "lip treatment". I always have to apply lip balm underneath this.
The only reason why I'm not giving this a 3 like I would an average lipstick is the packaging. It's far more compact than a lipstick tube and can be stuffed pretty much anywhere. Yeah, the difference isn't much, but if you're trying to stuff a cultch or wristlet with products every inch counts.

C Me Blush Lip Tint - Coral Sunshine

I picked this up on a whim because my usual tinted lipbalm was looking too pink and I thought this coral color would be better. It is! it matches my skin tone better and looks natural, but as a balm it doesn't last very long. Probably has to do with the 95% organic ingredients. Reminds me of Burt Bee's shimmery balms that I have. I got it on sale at Walgreens for $3, so it didn't hurt too much, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing.

OMG this is a total NO WAY.
I bought 'Ready Red' & 'Cotton Candy' from a local drugstore for $5 each. I was rather surprised by the price but I'm on the hunt for perfectly tinted lip balms.
I opened 'Ready Red' & it is frosty & comes out bronzed orange on my barely pigmented lips. FAIL! I should have known by the packaging color, but I took the chance b/c pkg color rarely accurately reflects the actual product shade. I didn't know what I was going to get with this one, as the packaging is seal-wrapped.
It's extremely minty to an uncomfortable degree (just like Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers -- this product is apparently a knock off) & will therefore not even bother opening Cotton Candy (which is supposed to be a pale pink). Even if the color is nice & sheer, I can't deal w/the mint. I'm taking this back for a $5 refund. I'd rather wear L'Oreal Infallible 6 Hr Plumping lipgloss the rest of my life -- it's sheer, easy to apply, easy to wear, long lasting, & the coolness isn't so strong that it kills me (same is true of Prestige WonderFull lipgloss).
Now, if Bonne Bell would just add a slight tint to their classic moist lip balms, all my problems would be solved. Seriously, all my problems. Not even Dr Pepper flavor tints my lips.
So much for a good tinted lipbalm. This stuff is gross to me. continued >>

Like some other reviewers, I picked up Coral Sunshine at Target for $1. For the price, it's great, but I wouldn't buy it for much more than that. It's an okay balm-- nothing sensational-- and I like the hint of color, but it barely shows up on my pigmented lips.
