Lip balms are one of my favorite products and I always get excited when a new one makes an appearance in the marketplace — especially if it's tinted, because it feels good and it looks good. I've tried each of these new Prescriptives and Lola Cosmetics tinted balms and they all satisfy my balmy cravings.
Korres Lip Butter ($9) is an all-natural hydrating tinted lip balm that contains a high concentration of shea butter to help soothe and heal chapped lips. It comes in four colors that leave a light trace of bee-stung color on your lips.
Lola Cosmetics Tinted Lip Balm ($10) is creamy, moisturizing and minty fresh. The balms are infused with good-for-you antioxidants, peppermint, essential oils, vitamin E, mango and spearmint for smooth application and a clean, crisp taste. The result is smooth, shiny lips that look luscious, precious and voluptuous.
Confession: So those aren't exactly the adjectives I'd choose to describe a lip balm, but they are the names of the three available colors.

Prescriptives Tint Balm in Pink Satin ($14.50) isn't new per se, but the color is. It came out about six weeks ago and is a light pink with a hint of shimmer. This creamy balm conditions lips and helps reduce uncomfortable dryness and flaking. It is infused with botanicals to make it smell good, and it also contains a hint of color to create a fuller lip look.

Those Lola ones look good. Just the way they look makes me want to buy them. Is that weird?
1haha TrishaAtMF I was thinking the same thing
2Bliss makes a really good one too.
3That Korres one looks really good- I love that color, and lip balm in general. Thanks, Bella!
4I love lip balm too bellasuger. These all look great, I can't wait to rty the lola lip tint first.
5I third wanting to get the Lola ones just from the way they look. I would want the Korres one too.
6Lip balms are my downfall and I love them!!
7The Korres seem amazing.
8The Korres ones, or the Lola ones... I love lip balm!
9I love lip balms, but even though I love these ones, I think I need to restrain myself from checking them out.
10I've been so into natural beauty products lately, and I just ordered a few Korres products from Sephora...the deep color mascara, a pretty lavender eye pencil, and one of those lip butters (a cherry red color). I'm so excited to try this brand, I've been wanting to for ages!
11The Lola ones remind me of my Blistex mint lip balm..and it's way $8 (Php100=approx. $2) cheaper! haha
12The Korres one looks awesome, though!
The Lola ones look so cute. I am sucker for packaging.
13I have the Korres one (in the pictured shade). I really love the texture and the colour. Sometimes I use it also as a blush when in a hurry.
14The only downside (but after all it is a lip balm) is that the colour wears off quite quickly.
The Korres lip butter feels great and it is reasonably priced. I just wish that it was available at the Sephora store near me, instead of having to order their products on-line and pay for shipping!
15korres's one is great & it lasts aaaaaages & its a good alternative to lipstick & gloss:]
16I love lip balm. Thanks for introducing me to some new ones. The Korres looks wonderful.
