Mary Kay has recently released a new line of tinted lip balms, and they're incredibly cute! I really like tinted lip balms, because a sheer lip colour is so easy to apply on the go, and they're so low-maintenance.
Mary Kay's At Play Triple Layer Tinted Lip Balms* ($12/3.5g) come in 4 adorable shades, and I've been trying out all of them!
"Wrap your lips in juicy beauty – this is your moment to shine! This comfortable-wearing, kissably delicious lip balm glides on smoothly and blankets lips in hydration. It provides a hint of colour, a touch of shine and a beautiful glow that brightens up the lips." -

Mary Kay's At Play Triple Layer Tinted Lip Balms come in white plastic packaging with a clear lid. The balms have a super cute design that includes three different coloured circles. These balms do have a fruity and plasticy scent that is fairly strong, and that might bother someone with scent sensitivities. I find the formula to be creamy but still very light. I don't find that my lips get a deep hydration from these balms, but they do give a light moisturization. All four balms offer a sheer wash of colour - perfect for the Spring and Summer! You can easily apply these balms on the go without a mirror. I get about 2-3 hours of hydration from these balms before I need to reapply.
I do quite like these new tinted lip balms from Mary Kay, but they aren't anything groundbreaking. If you're a huge Mary Kay fan, then add one or two of these to your next order. Otherwise, I think there are better drugstore options (Revlon Lip Butters anyone?).
Do you like a good tinted lip balm, or do you prefer a more pigmented lip?
i love tinted balms. one of my favourite things about these is the smell honestly. they smell so good!
ReplyDeleteI actually don't really like the smell. It smells kinda fruity and plasticy to me! :(
DeleteHmmmmm yeah, I see where you're coming from. I loved them because I liked how easy they are to apply, whereas I find the Lip Butters a little too buttery, if that makes any sense...
ReplyDeleteYa, I totally get that about the lip butters! But the lip butters are more accessible and affordable.
DeleteIn the Plum looks gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is quite pretty :)
DeleteThese are adorable! I tend to either wear balms with no colour or actual lipsticks though, I don't tend to go in between much.
ReplyDeleteHmm, ya you probably wouldn't reach for these much then! I really love in between lip products though :)
