Tinted lip balms from Fresh, Smith Farms, Hard Candy and Maybelline - swatches!

Fresh Sugar Passion Lip Treatment SPF15 - $26 - is formulated with an array of ingredients that nourish and protect the lips: Sugar, a natural humectant, ensures long-lasting moisture; while hydrating meadowfoam, passionflower and black currant seed oils as well as avocado oil moisturize and condition the lips; carnauba wax seals in moisture and acts as a protective barrier to prevent dehydration; and Vitamin A to help firm, retexturize and smooth the skin by promoting cell regeneration. The treatment is further enriched with antioxidant-rich vitamins to defend against wrinkle-causing free radicals and provides year-round protection from damaging UV rays. All topped off with beeswax which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to soften the skin and enhance elasticity. Available at Sephora and sephora.com

If you like the idea of red lips but can't commit or bring yourself to go with full on red lipstick, this tint is a nice compromise. The colour is also buildable so you can have a sheer or rich hue on a whim. It smells great like all of the Fresh Sugar products and I especially appreciate the screw on cap so it can't accidentally come off in my purse!

Smith Farms Lip Tint - $6 - contains Organic Beeswax, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Avocado Oil and Vitamin E along with the addition of all natural alkanet root gives this balm a rich berry hue. Available online at www.smithfarmsproducts.com

Scented with sweet orange essential oil, it smells great - the colour looks super dark in the tube but don't be scared, as you can see it adds just a bit of a tint!

Hard Candy World Balmination Glossy Tinted Lip Balm in Vampire Bite - $3 - a glossy tinted lip balm that will leave your lips soft, moisturized and looking flawless. The nourishing formula protects, repairs and soothes. Available at Walmart.

With a hint of colour, a fabulous moist feeling texture and a delicious sugar and lemon scent it's perfect for lip balm and colour lovers alike!

Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me - $4.99 - offers 8 hours of hydration, an SPF of 20 and the promise or reborn lips in just 4 weeks. The formula is infused with exclusive Botanical Cellular Repair Concentrate extracted from the miraculous Centella Asiatica plant as well as Vitamins C, E and B5 to deliver moisture, softness and repair.

This is my favourite out of all the Baby Lips colours, it also smells just like cherry - and I can't argue that this is a super nourishing balm!
