I'm not sure why I haven't reviewed these. They are the most wonderful tinted lip balms. They feel so moisturizing and a delight to apply. Goes on smoothly and evenly, and it doesn't have any taste or smell (which is great!). I have this in Pink Raspberry and love the colour. Its a nice deep pinky-red which looks great with minimal makeup. I pair this usually with just mascara, eyeliner, and nice pink/nude/rose blush. Looks lovely! I have to go back and purchase more. I hope BB didn't discontinue these.

The color I purchased is Bronzed Pink.

Normally, I would not spend $18 on a lip balm - honestly, it is not any more moisturizing than a drugstore brand. However! I was looking for a certain color and this was the only brand I could find that had the color I was looking for.

I'm not sure why they call it Bronzed Pink - there is no pink to this - it is a mostly bronze/brown shade (which is what I wanted).

It is not greasy or gloppy or sticky - it applies very nicely and smoothly. But so do a lot of cheaper brands I've used (Burts Bees, Carmex). It is moisturizing - I've had it on for about 3 hours now and the color is still good and my lips are still soft.

Overall I think its a great lip balm, but for the price, I dont know. I would buy again if I needed a specific color only. $18 is way too much for a lip balm

This lip balm goes on the lips very smoothly and hydrates them very well. My only problem with it (that's the reason why I gave it 4 stars) is that the "Bronzed PINK" shade is not pink at all. Of course, because of the name, I had expected to receive a dirty pink, a dark pink, a whatever pink shade but I didn't. This is pure brown! This suits me quite well but again...I was expecting a pink shade.

horrible. colour did not go on evenly, was streaky. this only looks ok if u have perfect lips which is dumb since you wouldnt need a lip balm in that case.

Bobbi Brown is dead to me if she doesn't bring these back. I have two- Champagne and Pink Raspberry. Champagne is a lovely base color for some of my sheerer lip products. I love the way it looks under Chantecaille Venus l/s. Essentially, I use Champagne to moisturize like a balm and kick up whatever color I am wearing.
Pink Raspberry is a lovely MLBB color which looks really nice with a bare face or on casual days. Color wise, it is not unlike Guerlain Fleur de Feu stick gloss, and is only a bit less bright than FDF.
I like the texture, the shine and the emollience of the ones I have. Would repurchase (depending on what is out at my counter). These are expensive for balms, but their usability and quality makes up for the jacked up price- these balms are very easy to use, don't ball up, and have nice pigment.
Hopefully she will bring these back with SPF as I use Champagne daily.

Am on a lifelong quest for the perfect tinted lip balm. These come close, which is saying something. Took a while to find the right shade for my fair skin-- brown is too corpselike; rose petal is pretty but too intense for casual use; pink popsicle matches my exact lip color but doesn't pop. The answer: pink raspberry -- a noticeable but subtle cool pink. Moisturizing, stays on longer than most balms, and blessedly, no fragrance. On the downside, no SPF and very expensive. But I've got a drawerful of them, so I must be hooked.

I own two- I am a fan of Bobbi Brown products,I own rose petal and citrus.Citrus was my favourite this summer-it looks a bit scary when you see it(bright orange) but on the lips it's just a glossy,healthy shade.It did not dry on my lips at all, and this summer my makeup routine was very simple-mascara,coral blush,some bronzer and citrus and I was good to go!

This is a great product for anyone who dislikes the goopiness of most lip glosses nowadays. I bought this in Golden Pink & it is nice & very shiny. It has nice flecks of gold/bronze and the color looks very different on the lips vs. the tube. I love that it feels like putting Chapstick. I did give it four lippies because I would have liked it to be a bit more moisturizing. Still, a great and well-thought product!

I received Golden Pink from my sister-in-law. She bought one for herself, loved it so much, and bought one for me. Very nice of her, considering this is an $18USD lip balm. This is by far the most expensive lip balm I've used. My favorite is the Prada lip balm, and those work out to about $4.75 each. We'll see how long this lasts in comparison. Anyway, I took off one lipppie because there is no SPF in this balm. Doesn't that seem strange? To me, the words lip balm MEAN lip protection with SPF. If Bobbi Brown adds SPF to these, I may consider buying a different color. As for the product itself: it's very moisturizing and soothing. Let me say that I would never have chosen this color because I tend to go for very natural 'my lips but better' types of colors. That being said, after trying this 3 times, it has totally grown on me. Now that I've been wearing this for a couple of weeks, I feel that the other colors without shimmer may be too plain. No zip to them. Golden pink is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. A shimmery golden pink. Lots of shimmer. NO glitter. You cannot feel any texture on your lips. I haven't purchased anything from Bobbi Brown in many years because I really felt that the quality had gone downhill and the products were nothing special. In fact, my sister-in-law has purchased several items...and returned every one of them because she was so disappointed. When I opened this balm and saw that it was a Bobbi Brown product, I began to scold her for purchasing from BB again. But I am pleasantly surprised. For reference, I am very fair with warm undertones and have blonde hair. The pink in this balm is very very light pink. Not a bold color or bright or a standout color in any way. Just a pale pink with lots of shimmer. I plan to try a slightly darker color underneath to see how that looks. I must say that I enjoy the metal tube packaging too. If you feel like splurging on a moisturizing lip product, this is probably perfect for you. Easy to carry, easy to apply, good color payoff. :)

I love these lip balms! I have three--pink popsicle(I'm on my second tube) pink raspberry and rose petal. My fav is pink popsicle because it goes with anything. Its kind of a pinky coral, but more coral then pink. It looks great when my hair is blonde but when im a brunette its look way orange and i don't like it. I like pink raspberry for a more classy grown up color paired with a more natural face. I rarely use rose petal because its very intense and has a lot of color. You do have to be more careful when you apply that one. I love the packaging, very sleek and elegant but hate the price! if i didn't absolutely love them it would be a complete rip off! darn u bobbi!!

I just purchased this in "Golden Pink" and I love it. I tried on a bunch of different colors at the BB counter in Nordstrom and this was by far my favorite.

The color:
It is a nice, well....golden pink shimmer that glides on smoothly and just gives a pretty, sheer wash of color.
It is very shimmery, but not tacky cheap shimmer. It is a very light pink with just a hint of golden bronze - there is more pink than bronze, for sure. The sales associate paired it with the Mauve liner and it works beautifully. I know the point of these tinted balms is to swipe color on your lips with NO liner, but I need liner, so I use it with it. I could see that by itself, this color could wash out someone who is very fair - I am, but like I said, I pair it with liner. I would say this color is almost identical to the Carol's Daughter Candy Paint gloss in "Grown and Sexy," which is one of my all-time favorite glosses.

Texture:
What I love is that it is so moisturizing and light. I am a huge fan of BB lipsticks, but I do find they can be very heavy. This is very soft. I find that in some shimmery balms, you can feel the grit of the glitter or whatever is in it to make it shimmery and I don't find that to be true with this product. I feel absolutely no grit with this balm.

Cons:
The only one I have it that it doesn't contain SPF :(

Price:
Ok, it is REALLY expensive - $18. For a balm that is insane, but as I have said in other BB reviews, I think BB is EXCELLENT makeup and you really do get what you pay for. I have been unsatisfied with VERY few BB products.

Overall, I love this balm. It is perfect for summer and I would like to try other colors.

I own this in Pink Raspberry - it is a really pretty shade on my very pale skin. I love the sheer - but not washed out - colour. It is a great product when you are on the go as you can slick it on quickly without a mirror. Love it.

I love the SPF and the texture. Very movable on your lips. Not waxy or sticky at all. Feels somewhat like chapstick only more movable. At first I thought the color was going to be too subtle but stepping back from the mirror I saw the color was great. Not too dark but still noticable. Feels great on your lips, no taste or smell to speak of. Would def recommend.

I have 3 of these: baby pink, pink raspberry, and rose petal.Baby pink is my everyday staple. I can apply it w/out a mirror and looks great w/everything. I just got the pink raspberry & i looooove it! I pair it w/my pink raspberry face palette and the results are beautiful!! The rose petal requires precise appliction since it's a more intense color, but i have to apply it sooo lightly. I dont reach for this one very often. The feeling of these is so delightful! They're so moisturizing and they soften your lips! I strongly recommend purchasing at least one of these, they're totally worth it! I would definitely repurchase!!

Love it love it love it! As I mentioned in my review on the Hazelnut color - I carry a tube in my jeans pocket at all times. The tinted lip balm has saved me from winter lips, gives me a nice, rich lip color and a good sheen.

The texture is most similaiar to ChapStick, so you're not going to have a drying lipstick or goopy lip gloss texture. It's actually more moisturizing than ChapStick, though. I have Pink Raspberry, which leave a very nice, sheer light wine/dark pink color. You can also layer the color somewhat. Since it's sheer, you can apply without a mirror - there's not a huge need for precise application.

Like many others, I think the price is outrageous, but when I love and use a product this much, price is pretty much irrelevant.

I have bought the Pink Popsicle colour and it looks great on my lips. I don't like wearing lipstick so this is a good alternative for some sheer colour.

Price is a little prohibitive but it should last me a while.

I have actually bought and exchanged the colors of these a few times to get the right one. It always looks different in the store than it does outside. I have used Hazlenut, Brown, Rose Petal and now I have Pink Popsicle and I am finally settled! I love the nice pink color that does not make my face look ridiculously pale when I am wearing it. It lasts a pretty long time for a balm (not that I mind reapplying :) and the tube is adorable. I hate the price! $17 for a lip balm! Of course if suckers like me keep repurchasing, why would they lower it?

I bought this in the shade "Champagne". I have pigmented lips and don't like a lot more color on them. This is just a light golden beige sheen. Very subtle and sheer. I wish that it was slightly more opaque though. Gives a nice sheen without being too shiney. The texture is smooth and my lips feel moist after I apply. I love the sleek black tube too. I would like to try the "Citrus" one and maybe the "Pink Popsicle" as well. Edit - after a while this stuff dried my lips terribly! Would not rebuy and I am glad I didn't buy other colors!
