Beautiful red/brown color, smooth application and reasonably moisturizing. I can swipe this on without a mirror, which is always a plus. It's sheer enough for any old time, imo, so I usually have it in my purse. Fades nicely too. Cons are no SPF, and not terribly long-lasting. Still, the shade is lovely enough for me to hold on to while I painfully attempt to weed out my array of lip stuff!

My favorite lipstick of all time is Cover Girl's Blushberry. Even though I have back-ups, my main lipstick obsession has been to find dupes- or at least shades which give a similar result. Which is why I am so happy somoene on MUA had mentioned this balm. The color is more brown but it's sheer and looks so very MLBB, and it's easy to apply anywhere without a mirror and since the packaging is so sturdy, it's easy to carry everywhere and use whenever. I don't tend to pay attention to how moisturizing lip products are, sorry, and they ALL disappear like crazy on me- which is why re-application ease is so important. So glad I have this, and that it's not discontinued!!!!

This is a great tinted balm that I find myself reaching for again and again. It has a smooth (but not slick or glossy) texture and a non-obtrusive scent (very faint vanilla). I wear a regular lip balm under this, but it's probably not necessary as I find this product to be fairly moisturizing on its own. I love the color of this - a somewhat opaque rosy brown shade with no shimmer. As the balm wears away on my lips, it tends to leave a subtle stain behind that actually ends up being flattering for me. Packaging is not much to look at (standard chapstick-type of packaging, only in black plastic) but it is quite sturdy. No SPF, but the balm I wear underneath this takes care of that. I find this product to be comparable in quality to Laura Mercier's Hydratint balm in Mocha Tint, but for a quarter of the price. Highly recommended!
