Honest Beauty Tinted Lip Balms: Review & Swatches

Disclosure: Honest Beauty PR sent me three (3) full-size samples of their Tinted Lip Balms in Lychee Fruit, Summer Melon and Dragon Fruit to review.

PR Sample: Who loves moisturized lips!?! I know I do! I also sometimes, like to have a hint of color on my lips. I mean, sometimes you just don't feel like wearing lipstick. So that brings me to today's review of Honest Beauty's Vegan Tinted Lip Balm & Moisturizer. These lip balms enhance your natural lip color. There's a lot to love about them! They are vegan, cruelty free, physician tested, dermatologist tested and MADE WITHOUT: Petrolatum, Paraffins, Parabens, Synthetic Fragrances, Silicones, Mineral Oil. Whew! That's a lot! Even the carton is made out of recyclable tree-free paper made with upcycled sugar cane. These lip balms ARE MADE with avocado oil (nourish) & pomegranate + acai extracts (antioxidant rich). These lip balms come in 7 beautiful shades: white nectarine (is a clear balm with a subtle shimmer), blood orange (gives lips a juicy red-orange tint filled with moisture), lychee fruit (shown below)(adds a flattering nude glow to chapped lips), fruit punch (is a creamy balm in a cheery coral-red shade), summer melon (shown below)(adds the perfect pink blush to bare lips), dragon fruit (shown below)(gives lips a delicious pop of fuchsia), and plum drop (is a hydrating balm in a deep purple shade). I really love all three (3) shades that were sent to me. The colors weren't loud or jarring. They looked natural and wearable. As you can see, they swatched very lightly on the back of my hand but the color really pulls through on the lips. They are also moisturizing! I found them to be very creamy and they protected the skin on my lips (and I have very dry lips). I love the packaging. It's very streamlined and each comes with a simple cap to protect the lip balm. As lightweight and sleek as these lip balms are, they can easily be transported in a small purse or your office drawer. Finally, you will love the price point! They won't hurt your pocketbook. You should definitely give them a try! I'm also wearing Honest Beauty's Extreme Volume Mascara + Bold Lash Primer (purchase here)(in the pictures below without the primer) that I reviewed the end of last month. I just wanted to see how the mascara looked without the primer. I think it looks very good! Very natural.
