After seeing these in both Ulta and at Sally's I decided to give them a try--I bought several colors, including bronzy pink, golden pink, cotton candy, and sangria--and LOVED how creamy and actually how much pigment there was for an inexpensive lip balm--and the staying power was pretty decent, too. I have to say my favorite was the golden pink, a nice goldish pinky hue that pops :) the bronzy pink is nice, too. Would definitely keep these as a staple in the hot, humid months in South Florida. If you're thinking of trying them, go ahead--you won't be disappointed. Cheaper than the Revlon lip butters, and IMO nicer colors, too!

After reading the good reviews for this, I picked it up in Rosey. I liked the thought of being able to get some color on my lips from a product that I could keep in my pocket.
First tip: don't keep this in your pocket. My balm is now a melted mess, which probably explains why I don't use it very often! It did not leak out of the tube and stain my pants though, so that is a plus. Second tip: USE A MIRROR. This may not be true for all of the colors, but this product is pigmented enough that even the light colors probably warrant a mirror, especially if you accidentally melt them.
Rosey is a really pretty red color, more than a natural flush of color but not overpowering. I think Berry or Golden Pink would be a better choice for me for an everyday color, but I do still like Rosey.
I didn't feel that the balm was especially moisturizing, and I liked it best when I applied an actual lip balm first. Other people seem to think it is enough, so maybe I just have dry lips. It is definitely less drying than a lipstick, and it doesn't have straight-up petroleum in it (not sure about byproducts), although it DOES contain parabens. "Herbal" does not mean "natural."
So: fairly inexpensive product, not as moisturizing as a pure lip balm, highly pigmented, has some nasty stuff in it, but probably not as bad as most lipsticks on the market. I would say this is a good way to get some pigment and be more gentle to your lips than your standard lipstick is, and I might use the darker colors as lipstick replacements until I commit to investing in a natural lipstick. I don't know if I would rely upon it as a daily lip color, though. I like the Burt's Bees tinted lip balm better, even if it isn't as pigmented.

I was looking for a nice, unfragranced, moisturizing and quite pigmented lip balm but was never satisfied until I got Palladio Tinted Lip Balm. I have dry lips and most lip balms (even Korres Lip Butters) were too drying, too fragranced or not pigmented enough on my already fairly pink pigmented lips.
Palladio isn't available overhere so I had to order from eBay. I chose Brownie because I read it's a great dupe for Clinique Almost Lipstick Black Honey and although I love the colour of Black Honey, the Almost Lipstick formula unfortunately is too drying.
I'm not disappointed! Smooth texture, unfragranced, moisturizing and incredibly pigmented. Brownie is a MLBB sheer, slightly brownish red. Nothing too brown, red or pink; just right. This colour has even more "oomph" than Black Honey yet looks natural (I'm a neutral toned NW/NC10). Just like Liv Tyler's lips as Arwen in "Lord of The Rings" (she wore Black Honey in that movie).
I've been wearing it every day since I got it, ignoring all of my other lipsticks & lip glosses.
So I most definately will repurchase despite it being slightly expensive for a lip balm having to order from abroad. I think I'll just need to stock up on this;-) Highly recommended!

just bought Golden Pink and Berry. 2 totally different consistencies on these: golden pink has shimmer so it's a tiny bit gritty. Berry has no shimmer so it's extremely smooth. I definitely like both colors and it moisturizes great but I like the smoother consistency better. Picking up Rosey next!

I bought this today at Sally's in Cotton Candy and I love it! I am very low maintainance when it comes to my lips and I pretty much only use chap stick. They are very moisturizing and last. You don't even need a mirror! Its pretty well pigmented for a tinted lip balm too.

I've never had much luck with lip balms as they tend to somehow make my lips drier, which I don't quite understand. So, I've been on the hunt for a lip balm or gloss that is actually moisturizing. I've finally found it! This tinted lip balm feels wonderful on my lips and I love the colors. I bought two, one in golden pink and the other in naturally bronze. I will definitely repurchase when I finish with these! I'd like to try all the colors.

Excellent quality & price! Especially when compared to Burt's Bees tinted lip balms-$7 for 4.25g, these are $4 for 7.4g!!!! Plus 9 colors to choose from vs 6, (but these ofcourse are not 100% natural) Anyways, they are superrr moisturizing & nicely pigmented (except cotton candy). My breakdown for newbies wanting to try them out:
~~Berry sheer peachy color can be MLBB for less pigmented lips
~~Brownie sheer color can be MLBB for more pigmented lips.
~~Orange is peachy orange that I don't like by itself, but LOVE it over washed out nude lippies, adds the right amount of color to what they should have been originally instead of making me look dead.
~~Champagne--is true to its name & I use it to tone down a lot of deeper/brighter lippies that I reluctantly wear otherwise.
~~Cotton Candy-almost clear, shimmer with pink undertone, only one u can throw in your bag & apply without mirror for moisture.
~~Naturally Brozne-shimmery nude
~~Golden Pink & Bronzy Pink-very different but true to their names
~~Rosey is the most pigmented pink & brightest continued >>

I have this in Bronzy Pink, which looks exactly how it sounds. It leans closer to the bronze-brown end of the spectrum, though. The color payoff is a very pleasant surprise for a tinted lip balm. However, it's not too strong so it's perfect for days when you don't want to look too made up. The biggest drawback would be that this lip balm is a bit too soft. It melts pretty easily in the summer, and sometimes leaves uneven globs on my lips. The smell is slightly herbal (as the name would suggest) and I neither like nor dislike it.

I have this in Rosey and I love it! I have very pigmented lips, so adding this helps me look more put together.

I enjoy wearing lipsticks but it's such a hassle for everyday wear. This solves my problem. I bought bronzy-pink and it is gorgeous with simple eye makeup. I feel like my makeup look is complete without having to worry about how it's holding up all day. The lasting power is mediocre, much like any lip balm. It's so easy to touch up, you don't even need a mirror. I'm sure I'll try more of these.

I've got this in rosey, bronze pink, and golden pink. Rosey is by, far my favorite. Going on this feels like a smooth lipbalm but shows up like a lipstick. I couldn't believe the color payoff. Cannot wait to try the other colors (: by the way golden pink would go beautiful with nars orgasm or the well known dupe by Milani too. So beautiful!!!!
PS. Rosey reminds me of this neutrogena tinted lip balm I had. It had an odd smell and the tint didn't last very long, this is exactly the same shade, no weird smell, and the tint lasts for hours. Can't get enough of these!!!

I initially bought this lip balm in Golden Pink (not sure why I did that, really, since I hate frosty lip colors). Though the formulation is smooth and nicely pigmented, I haven't worn it very much because of the aforementioned frosty issue. I decided to try this in Brownie because of a recommendation from a friend, and oh-my-gosh, I LOVE it! It's super cheap with an excellent formulation. I have relatively pigmented lips, and Brownie is the perfect MLBB shade. It's a lovely, somewhat sheer red-brown that would probably flatter everyone.
My very minor quibble with these lip balms is the packaging. It's very basic and boring -- it's identical to a generic Chapstick package. I would wish for a slightly nicer package, only so that I didn't feel so un-glamorous putting it on. However, I'm very pleased with the low price, so maybe I shouldn't be whining.

I absolutely love this product! I have it in 3 shades and it gives the right amount of tint! I wish it had a bit more staying power but it's perfect for everyday wear. They have a variety of colors and it's not sticky. I have nothing but good things to say about their tints. I highly recommend this product! Of the ones' I've purchased, the orange shade is my favorite!

I bought the bronzey pink and I figured, for some reason, it would be more of a nude, as it looked on the balm wrapper and I was wrong. Though I was looking for a nude shade, I still like it.
It's more brown than pink, which is kind of awkward. Makes me look very "goth", since I was wearing moderate eye makeup along with it. Then again, I'm very fair.
Making the balm the emphasis of the face would work much better. So i'm looking forward to see how it looks on it's own pretty much.
It went on very smooth and felt amazing. Kept my lips soft and chapped free for hours and hours. The color even remained the entire night, very impressed.
I would buy again and I'm looking forward to trying out the different shades as well.

I bought the colors Brownie and Bronzy pink. The pink is hideous on me. Really washes me out and too much glitter. The brownie color is awesome though! Very MLBB. It goes on smoothly and lasts a good while, though I do not mind reapplying :) The only thing that could be better is if it had a little more red to it, since I have med/dark pink lips. The packaging is cute as well. I will definitely be buying more of these especially as they are on sale right now at Ulta.

Mehhhhhh.....I only bought this because it looked beautiful on a YT guru I watch. I've really got to quit buying things that YT-ers promote because they're not going to work for everyone.
I don't like the consistancy of this lip balm. It feels too thick and slippery at the same time. It's also a bit gritty IMO.

First off, yes its a bit expensive for a lip balm ($3.59 at Sally's). I do not like a colorless lipbalm, I like color and a bit of sparkle too. These are perfect. I have the golden pink (frosty rose color) and bronzy pink ( wonderful when doing a "summer" face, little bronzer, liner and mascara and this....sooo pretty) but the best thing is they are moisturizing and don't feel waxy or very greasy. I am going to get a few more, they can easily be used as a lipstick, just layer a little more on. I'm loving Sally's more and more these days =)

I bought this in Brownie and have been wearing it everyday since I bought it! The color is a soft, muted brown-red which looks very natural alone, but also works well as a base for red lipstick.
The moisture levels in this balm really impressed me, my lips stayed hydrated for a long time after application. It is great for laid back days when you just want a slick of color and not to be worrying about your lipstick, easy to reapply without a mirror as well. I'll definitely be going back for more shades.

I love this in bronzy pink. It is very moisturizing and the moisture really lasts. The color is very pretty for a good hour or so, but don't buy this expecting the color to last much longer. I really fell in love with this color though, because it is so shimmery and bronzy at the same time as being rosy.

Very nice products. No complaints, wish they were a little cheaper, but the price is very fair.
My friend told me about them and I'm glad I took here advice!
