Has a slight minty/tingly sensation when you first apply and a "slippery" feel. I bought this in Spirit and Matador for about $6 each at a beauty supply store, which I think is overpriced for the tinted lip spa products. I really enjoyed using Matador for a neutral/professional look (it was a beige/peach color, similar to RLB Pink Truffle), but Spirit was far too light for my NC25 skin tone. This product, like a lot of NYX lipsticks, is a bit mushy and smooshes in the lipstick tube very easily.

I bought this very cheap in Tijuana Mexico. I got them for 4 pesos which is like 35 cents each. My favorite is Sake, this is just a tinted chapstick. Do not expect more out of it. Whenever I put it on I instantly feel pretty :) Yes it melts so be careful. I like that my face doesnt feel super greasy after I apply like other lip products, its moisturizing, yet light. Anyway, I bought it again in the U.S at $5 dollars a pop :( kind of expensive but I just love it so much.

I'd read in some reviews that this is very sheer, but when I received the "Juicy" lip balm I ordered, I was surprised at how pigmented it is. It definitely has a sheerness and is very glossy, but it's not as if you have to apply several coats to see color -- with "Juicy," the color is immediately apparent. If you want a shiny, dewy look, I think this will fit the bill perfectly, although I can't speak to how nourishing it actually is. Usually I am only buying lip products for the color, sorry to say. I actually expected "Juicy" to be a little more of a coral shade, but it is quite red. It's a good look; it reminds of me just finishing one of those cheap cherry popsicles that leaves a stain behind.

I have this in Pinky Winky. Its a subtle pink with gold shimmers in it. I think the packaging is cute! I'm not too bothered by the smell like everyone else is, just smells minty to me? Reminds me of toothpaste. And it fades of within minutes anyway. Does its job of moisturizing my lips. Colour payoff is sheer compared to other tinted lip balms I've tried though.

I really like the creamy texture of this tinted lip balm and the colours (and the amount of pigment) in it, however, I'm not a fan of the 'mintyness' despite the fact I love mint normally, and I feel like it's a little greasy. The packaging is really good and if it weren't for the awful taste and slight greasy feeling, it would have gotten a higher rating from me.

I am usually a fan of minty scents (for example e.l.f.'s Luscious liquid lipsticks) but the scent on this really irritates me. When I got this product in the mail today and applied it on the lips I immediately thought ''wow, I'm gonna order at least five more colors'' but after a few seconds I noticed the smell. It doesn't have the menthol scent chewing gum usually has, I'm pretty sure I also detect a slight herbal note and to be honest it's driving me crazy. It goes away after two to three minutes but while it's there it almost makes me sick. I'm probably just being overly sensitive but I don't usually have problem with scented lip products. Overall the color is quite pigmented (and extremely pigmented for a lip balm) which I really like. The color selection could be better. I have this in Vintage which is a lovely bright red, very similar to the Max factor Xperience lip balms. The texture is simply amazing, very buttery and creamy. I really like the black packaging as well and the fact that the product doesn't have a slanted shape doesn't bother me at all. Will probably repurchase if I get used to the smell.

I bought this in "Vintage," a subtle coral/orange tinted balm. I like the texture that this has, it is moisturizing and smooth to apply. The slight minty smell is barely noticeable after about five minutes of wear, and shouldn't bother most people. Be a bit careful with this, though, as it melts easily (in jean pocket, a hot day, left in the car,etc.) and the "bullet" is flimsily put in the container, so after melting a bit it has shifted to the left. The shape of the product also makes application hard, as I have nicked it on my tooth once or twice and with a more pigmented color like Vintage, a mirror may be necessary for application. Overall, the formula is very nice, minty, moisturizing, and works much better than a normal chap stick! This does contain beexwax, so strick vegans beware. I will be repurchasing this, perhaps in a sheerer color.

Nice tinted lip balm - smoothed lines on my lips and added a little bit of color to my pale lips. I mainly liked it because it hasn't got the waxy or slippery feel associated with lip balms.

Downside: Methanol taste but faded minutes later.

This is as good as a tinted lip balm can get, and thus I think the price is accurate. There isn't much reason to pay more for such a basic product so once again, NYX is right on point on low price and great quality.
Colours are subtle and the formula is very creamy. However the scent is very powerful. It smells minty but the ingredient list actually mentions lavender oil. I thought that being nearly at the bottom of the list, it wouldn't be too strong but quite the opposite. Still this isn't my only and big problem: these are very irritating on my lips. The formula is creamy and moisturising but I guess the strong fragance makes my lips burn and after five minutes, the colour peels off.
It isn't nice and doesn't feel good which is what a lip balm is supposed to do. Therefore I am afraid I won't be repurchasing.

These are fabulous. I have most of them and they're pretty much all I wear. My lips are highly pigmented and these tone down my natural color really well. Also, the bit of color they give is just enough. I'm 53, and while my lips are still quite full, these do plump nicely and never settle into cracks. They wear well for me and I've not had any problems with melting or breaking. Just swivel up the little bit you need. The packaging is subtle--it doesn't scream high or low end. I just take off the bar code sticker. The paint has not worn off any of mine with lots of carrying around in scrub pockets with keys. Love the small, chunky tube as it holds plenty of product. NYX makes the best tinted lip balm on the market, it has great ingredients and you certainly can't beat the price.

I got this in Pinky Winky. I really love this product - the only thing that puts me off is the smell. It's kind of... minty.. methol. Makes me think of cough drops!

The colour is nice and subtle. I have very pigmented lips, so it just gives them a nice shimmery sheen - while making them soft!

It is a very similar colour to a Chanel lipstick I recently bought - Rouge Coco Shine in Royallieu. Royallieu has a slightly more pink-ish colour. But, for $4 as opposed to $50... I'll certainly buy this again when its run out!

Plenty of product in the package, and a cute, chubby design. Very happy!

Wow, I just love the Tinted Lip Spa! If you're a fan of lip balms like me, you'll fall in love with this. The texture is so smooth, it glides on like a dream. Moreover, I like its refreshing, minty scent. I bought Vintage, which is a pretty and cute pink that looks like you just sucked on a watermelon Jolly Rancher. The color isn't that strong, so you can wear it for a more natural look but it's not completely unnoticeable (I wouldn't recommend pairing it with a smokey eye). My one dislike about this product is the packaging. It's small and cute, but it feels a bit flimsy. When I wind it down, it doesn't end -- it just keeps on clicking, which I find weird. Otherwise, a great product. I'd like to own more shades of it.

I have the shades 'Juicy' (coral) and 'Sake' (light pink). Out of these two, Juicy is the more pigmented shade. However, I do think NYX intended these to be more sheer glossy lip-balms than pigmented. I do like that they have a slight minty feel and are very moisturizing. 'Sake' is a nice "natural lip enhancing colour" for everyday wear especially for those who don't like to look like they have obvious colour on their lips. My only problem is that they tend to melt very easily and can get a bit messy in the cap of the lip-balm. They are best for those who like the "no makeup, makeup look". :)

I love these. They are sheer, glossy, minty lip balms. The colors are gorgeous and very natural (there are only about 8 or so colors) and they wear like a dream and are quite hydrating. My only complaint is that I can only find these locally through one chain of stores, and they are EXPENSIVE ($8)! But, compared to Laura Mercier's tinted lipbalms, these are a steal for a comparable product (I actually like the NYX better- the LM have a slightly funky smell/taste to them, and I can get three of the NYX product for what one LM costs), so I will continue to repurchase. These also have nice, non-descript black packaging that actually could pass for a higher-end packaging, and don't scream "budget beauty item." All in all, a good product.

Ok i love this product but HATE the packaging. in a few days, it started rubbing off the sides of the tube everytime i would twist it to get it out. (hard to explain in words..).
however, the product is good. its like a very moisturizing lipstick thats not too pigmented. perfect for daily use like going to work.

I bought these for the bargain price of .50 cents each! Not only was that exciting but this is the first time I saw NYX products in real life so I bought all 4 shades they had! Hush is a neautral brown, a nice sheer color for a nude lip. I pair this one over a nude lipstick for a little bit of shine. Vintage is a coral pink very nice I usually stay away from corals, but I like this one.Juicy is a sheer berry pink . It looks brighter in the tube than when you apply it. I think this would be a nice summer color when I have a tan.Orange Passion not one I would wear alone but i tried it over some of my mauve lipsticks and it actaully tones them down and adds a glossy finish that is really pretty.
So I would wear Hush and Juicy alone and pair Vintage and Orange Passion over lipsticks.
I'm glad I got to try them and I'm also glad I didn't pay full .The packaging sucks! There were stickers all over mine and when I tried to clean them up The cheap paint came off leaving the tubes splotchy.I didn't like the little worthless print all over them either. The only plus to the packaging is that they have a clear top.
The product is nice but I would not rebuy because of the packaging not something I want to pull out of my purse in front of anyone.
Wear these over Rvlon Nude and you have a new lipstick color!

I have Juicy (red) and Sake (natural lip color pink). These are lipsticks that feel like lip balms. It's very moisturizing and stay on for a long time. It is slightly minty on the lips. I will buy this product again. I do have one complaint though....I had it in my pocket at work and it kind of melted...like it almost broke off at the base, so when I use it, it wiggles inside the tube. I guess we know that the product is very buttery soft.

I really LOVE this product! I have it in Vintage. It's like a combination of lip balm, gloss and stick, although it is more of a lip balm. But it does give a nice shine and the colour is very light. It's minted so your lips will feel nice and cool. And it smells like the "polo" sweet...mmm.. =D

I got this in Copacabana. It is very light; the color is barely there. Very creamy and quite moisturizing, but it's almost completely gone within an hour. I'm not one of those people who eats lipstick/balms or bite/lick their lips, so this doesn't stay very well. However, the smell is AWFUL! I don't even know how to describe it.. it's like.. glue .. with wax .. and wet oak or something. ugh!!
For the price ($2), I guess I don't expect much. But for a treatment, this would definitely not be my first choice. I want one that lasts more than an hour.

I love these liptints. I have 2 colors: vintage and sake. Vintage is a corally red color and sake is a mauvy-pink (think, your lips but better). I keep both in my purse at all times. i use a lipstain in the morning and use these as a sheer wash of color throughout the day. They don't have great staying power. I only get a few hours per application. They leave my lips slightly tingly like peppermint and have a minty smell also. Love them!
