After reading Caitlin's post on Chrysanthemum about tinted Carmex a few days ago, I knew I had to get my hands on these babies. Especially as the weather starts to get cooler and my normally dry lips become uncomfortably dry and chapped, lip balm is a must and tinted lip balm is an added and very welcomed bonus.

I love both but my favorite of the two is the peach one. These lip balms apply smoothly, are really moisturizing, and have fairly good pigmentation. They have a slight vanilla scent that masks the traditional medicated Carmex smell but once the product is applied to your lips, the vanilla scent disappears rather quickly while the medicated smell lingers a little bit longer. There is also a slight tingling sensation, much like the original Carmex formula.
I've been reaching for these non-stop since I got them, and they are a great alternative to lipstick when you still want a little bit of color but need more moisturization.

Oh wow I love the peach one on you! I got the pink one, but my lips are pigmented more than I'd like them to be, and when I apply it it makes my lips appear red :( Maybe I'll try the peach one out next time
ReplyDeleteThe peach one looks very pretty on you! ;)

ReplyDeleteOmg I need to try these I like the original carmax but i hate the smell of it
ReplyDeleteLOVE this!! :p I need to get my hand on it now!
ReplyDelete@Jennifer: I feel your pain, lol. My lips are pretty pigmented too. I think you may like the peach one better although the color can be pretty bright, even on pigmented lips.
ReplyDelete@Expensive Pink: I don't mind the medicated smell, oddly enough, but to be honest, these smell only a tad bit better than the original. The vanilla really doesn't last at all.
love the sheer pink color!!!
