Aww, I'm going to miss this stuff -- it has been discontinued, and I'm getting down to the end of my last two pots. While the staying power leaves something to be desired (it really is a balm and...

This has been discontinued. But I love it. It gives a nice matte tint to lips that it natural if you apply just a sheer amount. Been looking for the plum shade, too. But as I've said, has been...

I think there is a misleading on the label. It is not a lip balm and more like a lip stain. It doesn’t moistures at all. The colour is way too red for me as I was expecting a lip balm with a red...

The colour is a really beautiful red. Very chic. It brightens up my face instantly & i can get away without wearing any eyeliner (usually i look kind of sickly without my eyeliner). It glides...

I wanted to like this product as i find the pure shea butter very gd. But in this case, it's not meant to be. This colour look too reddish on me and this tinted shea butter stain my finger after...

Good product. Bad color. I have the tinted balm in all the other shades and really love it; I use it on my lips and cheeks. The red currant, however, makes me look like I'm ready for clown...

I got this on sale for $5 at the L'Occitane store. As others have said, it's not remotely moisturizing, but does look beautiful on my rather pale lips when sheerly applied. I don't look like I have...

i love this color. if you apply it to your lips and cheeks and you have pale skin, you look like you used a popcicle. it's a very appealing, wearable clear red, even though i am pale skinned with...

<b>Overall:</b><br>Funny that this is called "Tinted Shea Butter Balm in red currant". It's not moisturizing at all, so where's the shea butter properties!? This is totally not workable if you...

this balm is actually A STAIN and this explains a lot. that`s why it`s not extremely moisturizing and that`s why it doesn`t give exactly glossy effect. I love it because of its dense pigmentation...

I recently purchased this lip balm from Sephora. It is one of my newest loves. This is a red lip balm which develops to a stain on my lips. I also use it as a cheek color. A little goes a long...

L'occitane is cheaper here in Ireland thn the States so I think the price is reasonable €7.99. I wanted a sheer red but this was a bit bright for my pale complexion though I have found it...

BLECH! Can't stand this.. first of all, the packaging. WHY, L'occitane, WHY?? The pot is unhygenic, and the gloss is pretty hard so you have to swipe hard to get some out (especially in winter)....

I did like how it felt on my lips and i could even get used to the smell, not over powering, but a bit unusual. What I didnt like was the color, it left my lips looking bright clownish red! This...

Wow. I really like this red lip balm. It is better than Lorac's red lip tint, which is a good color but very dry to apply. The color is fab and it has just enough slip to moisturize like a balm,...
