You know, it's great just to have sheer lip products to pop on when you aren't really in the mood for putting together your 'face'. I realized that I tend to grab my more sheer and balmy lip products more often than others which made me curious to try these the other day. I have to give a shout out to the color coordination on the package. Do you see the teal/hot pink combo on Grape Vine!? These are so cute! If nothing else, these will look so great when I whip them out of my purse. Because we all know, that matters...

| Peach Kiss, Pink Punch and Grape Vine |
Peach Kiss is a nude-brown with slight shimmer. Pink Punch is a light pink. Grape Vine is a grape/berry color. If you're expecting to get what you see in the tube onto your lips, you are mistaken. These apply sheer and give just a hint of the color in the tube. However, you can build up the color. At first the smell is great, especially Grape Vine! (Funny I seem to be mentioning that one a lot.) It reminds me of grape Kool-Aid. But after a while, there's a slight artificial smell that lingers which isn't entirely pleasant to me. They do last quite a few hours on the lips and achieve their goal of being a lip balm.

These are a good tint/lip balm product but for the price, there are probably better offerings on the market. I've seen a few of my friends use the tinted Nivea balms and the Burt's Bees balms. The color pay off on those seem much better and they're cheaper too! I do have to say that the packaging really draws you in but do try and resist. All in all, not bad to pick up if I find them on sale.
What's your favorite tinted lipbalm?
