Review on 💄 ChapStick Total Hydration Moisture + Tint Pink Nude Tinted Lip Balm Tube - 0.12 Oz, Tinted Lip Balm with Moisturizing Benefits by Melinda Oliver

I love that the lip balm has come out with tinted lip balms! I hate dry, chapped lips, so I keep a tube of lip balm in my purse, in the office, in the car, and wherever I spend a lot of time. Granite Lollipop has been my favorite flavor so far because it has a slight rose-pink hue unlike traditional clear lipsticks (unfortunately they are no longer available). These new tinted lip balms come in the same familiar lip balm tube and applicator that twists the bottom to raise and lower the product. For those who can't wear a full lipstick every day because it looks too much, these lipsticks offer the perfect amount of color! When I opened the tube I was a bit shocked at how dark the product looked. It's actually a lot more color than I expected, but it doesn't look overly overwhelming. Coral Blush is a stunningly bright peachy orange-pink color with a lustrous sheen. While not as bright red as I was hoping, Merlot is also a maroon/purple/brown color with some glossy sheen. Now I understand why they called it Merlot as it looks like you just drank a tall glass of dark purple wine that stained your lips. Haven't tried pink yet as pink never looks flattering on me, but out of the tube it looks like a bright pink, like cotton candy. I'd say they offer about half the pigment of a lipstick and double the shine. They are perfect for everyday wear and can be applied without a mirror. They leave little peachy (coral) or brown (merlot) lip marks on your mugs or napkins, but they rub off much easier than lipstick. At under $5 a tube, they're a decent deal. I am happy with them and will definitely buy more when they run out. Please make it bright red, Chapstick!
