What more can I say! This is an amazing sheer, glossy lip treatment. Has better shine and staying power than many so-called "glosses" (I'm looking at you, Revlon Super Lustrous, ahem). Definitely has more "oomph" when applied thickly. I'm reaching for this again and again, especially in the car when I need something quick and easy to perk up my face. Would definitely repurchase!

first, i fell in love with clinique's original superbalm. it is definately a stand out as far as balms or glosses go. it lasts forever, looks great, and makes your lips feel like heaven. i expected no less from the tinted version as well. it has lived up to all of my expectations. it feels awesome, not quite as thick as the original, but in no way thin. it also looks great. i've found that it is very layerable. if i apply a tiny dap, i get a shiny finish with very little color. if i apply more, i get a beautiful, high gloss pink tint. needless to say, i will buy this product over and over. i am also going to try the mango tint and the new bronze tint.

This is my favorite tinted superbalm. It is a sheer reddish wash of color that instantly wakes up the face & soothes my lips. I have ultra dry lips that required applying blistex complete moisture every 30 minutes-but of course gave me no color. But the raspberry tint moistens my lips and makes them look fantastic. Great for the day or for people who don't like lipstick but want a hint of feminine color. I'm an NC20/25 and it works fantastically for my coloring. Yay! I love to pair it with Nars' Orgasm blush for a fresh, young look! :)

I LOVE THIS. I've tried Bobbi Brown, Juicy Tubes, and all the Bonne Bell ones, and i must say that this is the best in terms of treating dry lips and being glossy without being glittery or too shimmery. I was deciding between Raspberry and Grape and I think Raspberry definitely has more colour to it. It's natural and pink enough to wear alone, but not scary pink. Awesome for the summer. I can even wear it alone to work and not look washed out. My lips are so smooth and I don't need to reapply often.

I really liked this! To me, its definately more of a gloss than a balm. I LOVE the sheer red tint it has! Its the perfect red gloss on me. I dont think its very moisturizing; in fact, this is the first "balm" that i had to wear with another balm underneath! But i love it anyways. I will definately repurchase.

This is more of a lip gloss than a lip balm in my opinion. Either way, it's fantastic. The perfect sheer red lipgloss, non-sticky and very moisturizing. I got this as a GWP but for $10, I will definitely repurchase.

I love Makeup Alley because nine times out of ten I can count on positive reviews of a product to live up the reputation of its reviews...Clinique Superbalm is by far THEBEST lip gloss/balm I have EVER tried! I love my Juicy Tubes and MAC lipglass but it's just too much product and sticky stuff for work (I'm an elementary school teacher)--these are PERFECT for work. Lightweight, not sticky, moisturizing and it imparts the most gorgeous doses of colors. I bought the 2nd of the last tint sets and I'm in love with every color. I'll be using these forever!

HG HG HG tinted lipblam!! I absolutely could not live without this stuff. Really thick, really long lasting, pretty sticky, and great tints. I have Mango and Raspberry and both are equally great. Mango shows up clear and Raspberry gives a slight red-pink tint. Both really moisturize. They taste a little odd, but I barely notice that because of the texture. I adore these.

I really like this product. I got it as a GWP and I know the full size it really expensive so I haven't made up my mind if I will repurchase. This shows up beautifully on me with just a hint of color and a nice shine. I have very fair skin and my lips are colorless on their own, so I can see why this may not show up on other people. I love the shine and the way it looks on me!

Mediocrebalm, more like. It's sticky, which is odd in a balm, not very glossy and the tint barely shows. As a personal preference I'd also like it to be fragranced/flavoured, and have some SPF.

It's not that bad overall but I've deducted an extra lippy for the obscene price: it's three times the price of Carmex in a tube but only half as good, and I have to reapply it constantly.

EDIT: Okay, okay, I see where I was going wrong: I wasn't applying enough. I now slather it on, and it's glossy and visibly pink and stays on for ages. Now are you happy?

I used to absolutly adore superbalm lip treatment, it was my staple lip balm, until I found the tinited versions!
Not only are they the best moisturisering balms, there tinited, flavoured and fragranced!
Out of the three flavours raspberrys my favourite simply as its a nice pinky colour on me.
The only problem ive had with is that the small amount in the tube doesnt last me long and its hard to get out after about halfs gone.

I LOVE this balm. I alternate which lipsticks or glosses I wear to work. And every time I've worn the raspberry tint, I get compliments from the women I work with.

I gave up on lipstick because I was always running out of the house wihout a "full face" on, but I need a lip balm and missed a touch of color! The reviews here convinced me to try the SuperBalm. The salesperson put Grape on me, but I thought it didn't have enough color (my lips are pale and unevenly pigmented), so I got the Raspberry. The Raspberry has more color to it, in fact, a hefty dose is too "bright pink" for me, so I started putting on less. It lasts a long time and the color is very natural. It's definitely healing on my lips. Wish there was a redder shade and that there was more product! Do like the squeeze tube for this product.

EDIT: After awhile I got sick of the stickiness of this, both on first application and as it wears. Discovered Sally Hansen Lip Conditioner + Plumper for $5 at the drugstore that I like a lot better than this!

Just purchased it yesterday. Really great balm for my lips!!! It smoothens them out, and give them a very naturaly tint of pink. It is not as sticky as JT, and probably better. edit: tried the grape tint, and it's a lot more better than this!!!!

I love this lipbalm! It has a really cool sheer tint and makes me makes your lips shiny, yet natural. This is perfect if you just want a natural look, for say, the gym. One thing i dont exactly care for is the container. I was never really a fan of the whole "bottle" container. PLus, it dosent exactly taste that great. But. . . its a great lip balm.

I really like this. I don't really care for lip gloss type products, I rarely wear lipstick, but I will wear this. I live in a desert region and am constantly fighting dry lips. This really helps, and it is comfortable for me to wear. The little bit of tint is an added bonus.

I actually like this. I wasn't sure about it at first, because I didn't really like the color because it was so bright and I thought it'd be a stick mess, but it goes on sheer and is barely sticky IMO. I don't have that dry of lips, but they did feel a bit softer and smoother. I was also happy this didn't have a smell to it either. Even though this was a GWP, I defanitly think I'd repurchase.

This is the same package as the regular superbalm except for a small part of the tube which is see thru. This is a thin and slighty sticky balm with very sheer red colour. This doesn't have a scent or taste. It's not very moisturizing. Definately won't repurchase.

Eh. This didn't do it for me. I like the subtle color, the fact that it is oderless and not flavored, and the utilitarian packaging. Its too bad that the balm itself didn't moisturize. It is also way too sticky for my taste. This was a GWP, but I would not pay money for it.

I recently picked one of these up to bump up my total and qualify for a Clinique bonus. :-) I love the packaging, but the product itself is just ok. The color is a very sheer pink, but I wouldn't rely on this as a stand-alone treatment product because I didn't personally find it that moisturizing. I wouldn't repurchase this because there are much better balms out there, and while the color was nice and natural, it didn't do much for my already pigmented lips.
