When you are a beauty blogger who has a weakness for bright
and pigmented lip products, it takes a lot for a tinted balm to worm its way
into your daily makeup bag. I honestly can’t remember the last time I left the
house without one of my Carmex Moisture Plus balms*, and I don’t see
that changing anytime soon.
The first Moisture Plus balm I tried was the Clear
formula, and I loved how smooth it felt on my lips and the tingle that the
camphor gave me. It isn’t as strong as something like Soap & Glory’s
Sexy Motherpucker (fire ants on the
lips, anybody?) but is definitely a noticeable tingle. This is something to
keep in mind if that isn’t something you like in a balm, but I personally love
how fresh and minty it makes my lips feel. The balm seems to actually sink into
my lips rather than just sitting atop them, but still leaves them glossy and
healthy looking.
I was elated when the Sheer Peach Tint and Sheer Pink
Tint landed on my desk, and I was pleasantly surprised that the colours are buildable
and are reminiscent of a typical MLBB (my lips but better) shade. I always have
one of the tinted Moisture Plus balms in my bag for those times where I
can’t decide on a bright lippy or my lips are feeling particularly dry or in
need of some attention.
Even though I really love all of them, I wear the Peach Sheer Tint more often than the others, so I'd have to say that it is my favourite of the bunch. They really are wonderful balms that I highly recommend, and for only $8.99 I urge you to try them for yourself and let me know how you go! They are available at Priceline and other pharmacies in Australia, and I believe they are available internationally as well so I'd love to hear from some International readers too!
What is the best lip balm you’ve tried so far?
Are you a fan of tinted balms?
*Provided for consideration, but they really are my favourite
balms! Honesty, always.
