Extra, extra! The Balm is full of news. Not only have they just launched a set of six new lipsticks called Read My Lips ($16), but I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Marissa, the matriarch of The Balm, on the birth of her baby! These media-inspired lipstick shades have cute names such as Letter to the Editor, Gossip, and Classified.
The texture is sheer and shiny, and since the lipsticks include olive oil and jojoba, they glide smoothly right over your lips. Also, as opposed to having a traditional lipstick-glycerin smell, they are infused with mint and vanilla. You'll feel a little bit of tingle at first, but don't worry, it's not a lip plumper that's just the mint. Lastly, all of the packaging is eco-friendly since it's made from secondary forests and recycled paper. I'm really into Smut, a pretty shimmering plum. To choose your favorite color, click on the images below for a close-up peek.
For a brief description of all six colors, read more.
- Classified is a beigey, natural nude.
- Letter to the Editor is a bronzed berry.
- Wanted is a strawberry red.
- Smut is a shimmering plum.
- Gossip is a shimmering Barbie-pink.
- Scoop is a coral rose.

I'm always drawn to colors like Wanted or Smut, but I rarely like the way they look on me. Might need to check them out, though!
1Eco friendly is awesome!!!
2I really like Letter to the Editor! The names are really cute and the colors are amazing!
3I'm rarely drawn to nude colors because they tend to look horrible on me, but I really like Classified. It looks like it has a slightly pink tint to it, which would work on me.
4I love The Balm...I am addicted to their Stainiac and I have a couple of their lip glosses. These look fab too!
5Ooh I like the look of Classified!
6i have a hard time looking for lip color that looks right on me but classified could work
7The vanilla mint smells really good. I got Scoop from a friend who works at Sephora. It's a pretty bright color on me, but it is pretty sheer. It feels like chapstick.
8I like the second one on the left, Scoop I think? So pretty. And I love the fact that they are eco friendly:)
9I really like their lip glosses so I am assuming I would like these equally as well, and will def give them a try.
10I have Classified -- and love it -- but it definitely has some deeper reddish purple shades to it. It's NOT straight beige nude. It's more like your lips, but better. I absolutely love it.
