I love this product. I am a juicy tubes addict, but these are better. They moisturize better and are not as sticky, while being pigmented enough to give my lips some color. Highly recommended!!

My favourite lip balm/Gloss at the moment. It really seems to hydrate and give a lovely glossy finish that lasts. Also I have found no problem with it irritating lips and 'peeling' off, which sometimes happens with other glosses.

I like flavored, glittery and super mirror-shiny glosses as much as the next gal, but sometimes I just want dewy, shiny, supple, plump lips without having to taste mint, perfume, glitter, berries, fruit, chocolate, tropical coconut, etc. while eating, drinking, kissing, and talking. Superbalm satisfies that need wonderfully. It's shiny, not glittery, and flavorless, but imparts such a wonderfully tinted shine to the lips without being too sticky or gummy. It does not last very long, but re-application is no problem with the slanted-tip tube. I got the rasberry tint as a GWP and bought the Grape Tint thinking I would return it later, but I couldn't bring myself to return it because I liked it too darn much. It doesn't seem to heal like a balm is supposed to, and the sterile, boring, unimaginative packaging is typical Clinique, but I still really like this as a glossy balm.

This is my HG lipbalm. I like that its really thick because I have a problem with lipbalms later on making my lips drier and flakier than they started but this stuff doesn't do that at all. As far as the small tube goes I find that a little goes a really long way so one tube will last me really long. Definately will keep restocking this.

I bought this based on the reviews here - I was looking for a strong balm to wear on its own, or over lipstick. Unfortunately, I didn't know that the number one ingredient is petroleum - which I try to avoid. Plus, this is soooo super-sticky. I won't buy again.

I don't understand the prices for such small amounts of product. At $22 australian, it's probably the most affordable item in the counter. Today i got two products for the gift with purchase. This balm is clear because the tints sold out.
It really does give a flawless glass gloss look to your lips, it's soft and easily sits on the lips without clumping or sliding around to the corners or off the lip.. smart looking balm and my lips are soft. It has decent staying power for a balm and is non sticky. I will see the outcome of the balm after a week of use to see if i'll repurchase, but i'm really interested in the mango tint version.

I have this in Raspberry Tint.
It came as a GWP during Bonus Time. A nice item, it made my lips rosy and glossy, and is slightly sticky with good staying power. Both tinted and emollient, IMO a good product all around.

(Note that I purchased the clear version of this before the tints were released.)

I like this product, I really do, but it does have it's pitfalls. The strange scent is one - I know Clinique products are meant to be fragrance free, but this smells weird when applying. It's very small as well - the packaging is similar to Lancome Juicy Tubes but if only Superbalm was as big! BUT...Superbalm is a very good lip treatment. It's not sticky and feels like a "cushion" almost. But beware those who just want a balm not a gloss - I've applied this in front of friends, then shown them the packaging - they all say, "But it's so glossy!".

The packaging is a 7mL slant tip squeeze tube. This is a very moisturizing and thick texture. It has a light lemon smell. I have repurchased this many times.

I have been very pleased with my Superbalm. It lasts throughout the night and really battles dry, cracked or chapped lips. Although it is a treatment and not a gloss, I think it makes a great gloss. I wear it during the day alone or over lipstick. The packaging isn't the best, though. It's difficult to control the amount that squirts out the top, and I don't like rubbing it directly onto my lips, so I have to glob it on my finger and swipe it on my lips that way. Seems a bit unsanitary. Overall, though, it's a great product from Clinique!

this isn't a rip off juicy tube-this is a highly advanced lip treatment. a little goes a long way, too. (i've had the same tube of the original/clear for over a year!) this stuff does AMAZING things for the lips. it really smooths them out and gives them a great texture. my lips can't live without this anymore! it's thick, but not sticky--it feels very nice when applied. it also gives your lips a hint of gloss, and it lasts for hours. amazing balm, well worth the price.

I got the raspberry tint superbalm in a free gift package recently. I thought it would be very sticky but it was actually really great. The color is very pink but looks great on everyone I have had try it on. I reccommend this gloss for a night out because the color is great and the the gloss is very shiny.

good lip balm. hydrating and comfortable. but it's not my favorite. dr. hauschka's lipbalm is the best.but I use clinique's tinted superbalms as a lipgloss over lipstick. as a lip treatment this is ok.

While I like the squeeze tube, this product is too thick, too sticky and too shiny. I won't buy it again.

This was a impulsive purchase for me. I usually never purchase a product without sampling it first or reading the reviews here first. I really love this stuff. I bought the raspberry tint, which makes my lips a sheer fushsia color, The formula is really nice as well,rich and creamy without being too goopy or sticky. I love the squeeze tube with the slant tip applicator, I think all lip glosses should be this way. Although I think $10.50 is a little steep for lip gloss, I will definately re-purchace in the future.

I love this clear balm. I wouldn't really call it a balm because it's way too glossy for that. It feels super smooth and isn't sticky at all. Unlike what most reviews say, it lasts for hours on my lips. It's absolutely the most glossy clear balm out there and makes my lips appear incredibly full (which they already are a bit) and healthy. Definitely worth the $10, which isn't very much anyway.

Look is good, but it is a rather sticky balm. Starts too smell if you don't use it for a couple of weeks or so.

Hmmm, sticky, greasy, gooey ... yuckss ... I honestly think Vaseline is probably lighter that this. I felt my lips get smoother and supple afterwards, but as soon as it run dry, my lips instantly back to its normal condition: overly dry and chapped. the gooey feelings really uncomfortable on my lips and the price is way too high for a tiny tube of lipbalm. Definitely no repurchase.

I absolutely loooove this lip gloss. It works not only as a lip gloss but also as a lip treatment. It gives your lips a super shine and seems to stay on forever! A benefit is that it treats your lips while giving an incredible shine. I would apply the gloss, have it on all day at work, and when i'd wipe it off later at home, it wiped away all the dead skin and chapped flakes, leaving my lips super smooth. It almost feels like it removes the dead layer of skin, so your lips feel newborn-smooth.
