Tinted lip balms may be one of my favorite inventions.
When you’re like me (chronically late, perpetually impatient, always hungry), you need a simple lippie that will make your lips feel good and look a little better than usual.
Splurge Skincare’s Tinted Lip Buttah is one of those lippies that achieves just that.
{Splurge Skincare sent me samples of its Tinted Lip Buttah in “Fling,” “Going Steady” and “In Love.” Here, I’m wearing “Fling.” It costs $7 for a 0.15-ounce tube. [Note: I took these pictures a long time ago, so my hair looks a bit longer and my skin a bit clearer.])
Similar to coconut oil, babassu oil is extremely emollient and soothes dry, chapped lips and parched skin. I haven’t seen too many products with babassu (aside from some great hair products I’ve tried), and I think it’s interesting to use this super oil for a tinted lippie. It’s so softening!
Here’s the full ingredients list:
babassu oil, organic cocoa butter, beeswax, sweet almond oil, organic castor oil, peppermint essential oil, alkanet root powder, vitamin E
In addition to the soothing babassu oil and light plum coloring of Splurge Skincare’s “Fling,” I really love the little taste of peppermint I get with every subtle lick of the lips.
Though it doesn’t do much to cover onion breath (don’t get too close), it’s a nice little treat with every application.
If Splurge Skincare’s lippies are readily available for purchase, I’d happily scoop up some more! This isn’t a “must-have” lippie for me, but I’ll probably be saying something different when I’m down to just one tube of tinted lip balm. I have an addiction!
Have you tried anything from Splurge Skincare? Do you like tinted lip balms, or do you prefer deep, colorful lipsticks? Tell me in the comments section!
