The smell of this and the color of the lipbal in the pot,,,basically had me at hello. I went back and bought the hush hush also (e-z baby was sold out). I can just smell this all day and the added SPF is a plus for day time. Check out my blog for more pics and info. http://eunynara.blogspot.com

I absolutely love tendertones. I have 3 of them and 1 is almost gone. The smell is yummy and the texture is so creamy and leaves lips feeling so moisturized. This one is a soft milky pink with almost no color when applied, only shine. I use this every night before bed and wake up with silky soft lips. It's almost like a lip balm but creamier and much more soft. The packaging used to annoy me since I have acrylic nails but since have removed them and enjoy the sleek clear pot with the black lid. Obviously, they are limited edition but I would buy them again.

This is my favorite!! I have really chapped lips; even as a child... I exfoliate my lips with a warm wash cloth and then apply this and its magic! My lips look sooo soft. Every night before I go to bed- I do this routine and my lips have improved so much! This is actually not available anymore but I noticed MAC brought this back in different shades. This is a very soft pink that shows up clear on your lips. It's in a glass jar and looks very chic. I will definately repurchase this in the perm shade line.

I really like the shine I get from this product--not too shiny like a l/g. It shows up as a nice sheer milky nude color. This definitely can work on ALL skintones because it is so sheer. What I like most about this is that this makes my lip lines disappears! It gives me a nice smooth lip surface.

This smells nice (sweet strawberry kiwi) but I wish the scent is bit more subtle. I don't really care for scented lip products.

Click 'continued' for photos.

Most flattering nude I've ever found for my pale face (on which most nudes tend to look dead dull). It's milky beige with pink tones, pretty sheer so it's hard to overdo, very fool-proof. Just the right amount of gloss, not too shiny like a lipgloss, not too dull like chapstick. Extremely moisturizing, heals the most chapped lips within a few usages. Absolutely delicious fruity scent, no fake plastic-y feel at all. The only improvement I can think of is for this to come in a tube form, ah well!

It is milk pinky color tender balm, it does soften my lips. I use it sometimes before the lip sticks, or just as a lip gloss/balm. I can wear it with any make up or without make up. It is so nice, Love it.

I would not call this a moisturizer or lip treatment, but it does feel quite nice on the lips. I use it more for the tint than anything else. I love the look! It reminds me of those lip treatment/glosses from Sally Hansen that I used religiously in high school, but not as sticky. It is not too shiny or pigmented, but I cannot imagine how this would not look sensuous on any lips.

Now I love all tendertones but this one is my favourite. I love the milky pink colour. This is like a lipgloss and lip moisturizer in one. It looks gorgeous adds a lovely wash of colour, smells good and conditions my lips - Perfect product!!
The smell is just divine strawberries and kiwi, I can' t stop sniffing the pot, Now I know the jars aren't to everyone's taste but I personally love them. The Jar is about the same size and weight as the paint pots. Mac please make this permanent as I will definately repurchase again and again!!!
My HG lip Product!!

i have to be quick, but i have to have to review this and say it moisturises my lips like nothing else! this and hush hush are the only 2 i had tried, and just for the conditioning effects i will try to never be without these! I have dry flakey lips that any balm seems to just worsen. This stuff is amazing. worth trying if your lips are dry.

This product is really good, not sticky, lasts a decent amount of time, feels good, smells good, moisturizes and is a nice colour. The packaging is fine, nothing wrong there.
I dont really have any problems with it :)

EZ Baby is a milky baby pink-tinged nude gloss. My lips are med. pigmented, so I need a few coats to see any color. (However, I'm OCD about lip balm, so I would be putting on two coats anyway :D.) Makes my lips shiny & soft and somehow evens out my natural color. Great consistency and a wonderful strawberry scent as well. This is quite nice with dark eye looks, and is highly recommended for nude lip lovers, but if you're looking for a Tendertone with pigmentation, this is not it. Might or might not repurchase because I don't find it to be anything out of the ordinary, although it *is* a good product. (NW15 for ref.)

This color does not work for my pigmented lips, so I had to return. I was kinda sad because of all the good reviews here. The formula and smell were all fine, and it's great that it has spf, but the color just washed my face out. Won't be repurchasing. If you have pigmented lips, I'd try something else.

My #1 fave of the Tendertone line. I have 3 Tendertones from the 2007 launch, and I bought 2 from 2008. I almost passed on E-Z Baby, becuz when swatched on the back of my hand, it looked like pure, clear, petroleum jelly! Who knew that when swiped on the lips, it actually tones down your natural color a bit? I LOVE nude lips! I have medium-deep pigmented lips, so for this Tendertone to lighten them up a bit... well, I just gotta love it! And I do... ♥

Hm. First thing first, Would I repurchase this baby? Nope, cuz it's too expensive for me >.<" $14.50, even more expensive than an eyeshadow! (And e/s can last longer and won't turn bad as easily~)


Do I like the color?! Hell Yea! I'm a Nude Lip Colored Addict!!!!!!!!!!! But still... ain't worth $14.50~ (and plus, the color isn't that special! I like 'take a hint' better)

I just wanted to share my view on this product. I'm 100% Filipina, and I have tan-ish skin. Between medium and tan to be exact. So from first glance, it seems like E-Z Baby would really wash me out, but that would only be true if you REALLY REALLY pile it on.

Besides that, it is a lovely creamy color which simply tones down my lips and smoothens out the fine lines. (Which says a lot, since my lips are ALWAYS ALWAYS chapped.)

I'll be buying a backup, hopefuly. ;D

The only downside is that it's Limited Edition and a tad bit expensive. But hey, that's MAC.

I'm probably one of the few people who doesn't get what's so special about this. It is super sheer. I had to apply 3 coats to get the tiniest bit of color and even then I only saw it when I was really close to my mirror. If you're looking for a lip balm, save the $$ on this and get Chapstick.

I read the reviews for EZ-baby yesterday night and I went out to buy this today. I can't begin to explain how much I already love it. I have fair skin with yellow undertones. my cheeks are rosy pink and my lips are pretty pigmented which makes it hard to find a nude lipcolor that doesn't wash me out. I'm not really a fan of lipsticks because I think they age me and lipglosses are sometimes too goopy and sticky. I have yet to try MAC lipsticks.. but I don't really want to anyway and the lipglasses are just too..sticky (though color selection is OMG). The tendertone is between lipgloss and lipstick.. Not as sticky as lipglass and not as drying or aging as some lipsticks. With a thin layer its almost like a lipbalm..very sheer.. but with another layer I get this nice light pink, almost nude (or milky pink like MAC describes it) which I have been searching for forever! Plus, it smells nice! (like other reviewers have said... strawberry kiwi..YUM XD) and I love the packaging. (black and glass) Tendertone is much better than sticky and tacky NARS lip laquer... cheaper too!
Too bad they're limited edition, I think I may just have to buy two more before they run out... and I'm not sure I want to try the other ones anymore. =)

I have to say that this is the best tendertone to date! I really hope MAC makes it perm.It's a milky nude pink.Smells soo sweet and it leaves your lips feeling so soft and silky.Tones down a lipstick as well and makes lipglass not as sticky which to me is always a plus!
