    This is a great product. I got one on sale for about $3, and wish I had picked up more. It looks like lipstick but only gives a hint of colour with lots of shine. My favourite part is how this performs like a lip balm. It has SPF 15, goes on very smooth and buttery, and my lips actually feel really soft after using this.
    Even though this acts like a lip balm, it also stays on surprisingly well throughout the day and doesn't need to be reapplied too often. The shade I got is Tender Mauve, which is pretty neutral and mixes well with some of my other darker lip shades. Overall I am very impressed with Colour Riche Balms, and would definitely recommend them!

    I got this as a pick me up after a brutal work day and I love it!
    I picked colour #219 Plush Plum. It's sheer but buildable, super moisturizing and it lasts!
    It's a great shade I keep in my purse, to add just a touch of polish to my look whether at work, dinner or just running errands. It smells just a little loke vanilla which is A welcome bonus. I highly recommend this!

    Really like this product...it moisturizes without adding too much colour. It is easy to apply, and has a nice natural appearance when applied.

    I really like this new balm. It’s not flavourless, but also doesn’t overpower anything you are eating or drinking...it is pleasant. I purchased the Pink Satin colour. Although lacking in the Pink department (they should rename it Barely There Pink Satin) they got the Satin part right. This balm is super smooth!! If you are looking for a balm that is just the slightest touch of pink with the look of a gloss; this is your match. I’ll continue to wear this one, but for the evening I’ll bump it up a notch with a darker colour.

    I purchased this lip balm in Rose Elixir. I really love this lip gloss. It can be a bit pricey, depending on where you get it but I got it on sale for around $6.99. It's smooth and glossy but not sticky and adds subtle colour. It also smells amazing! I would recommend this to anyone who wants a happy medium between a lip balm and lip stick.

    Very moisturizing. Glides on nicely. Gives subtle color. The color Tender Mauve is a like a pale light purple tint.

    Ohhhh I just LOVED the shade I bought of this wonderful, moisturizing, SPF 15 added lip balm with colour! I have it in 'Caramel Comfort', and its one of the first lip colours I have had in a VERY long time that didn't disappoint me. I found the shine didn't last as long as I would have preferred, but the colour itself stained my lips enough that I didn't have to be paranoid it had all worn off!

    This is my favourite budget tinted lip balm! When looking for a tinted lip balm, i'm really looking for one that gives just a little tint of colour. It's also important that i don't need a mirror to apply. I've tried the revlon lip butters, though they're amazing products, it's definitely way to pigmented to be a tinted lip balm. I first tried a sample that L'Oreal sent to the office and really really loved it. It's super moisturizing, glides on easily, smells amazing, gives just a tint of colour and super affordable. Since then i've bought a couple more. The only down side is that i feel like most of the colour is pretty similar, but i guess it really doesn't' bother me. If you're looking for a lip balm with a extra little something, I'd definitely recommend these!

    818 Nourishing Nude

    I saw this in my local drugstore on sale for $6.99 ($11 originally, I think), I hadn't seen it before, so I think it's relatively new.

    I own enough lip balms to carpet my carpet, but the classy lipstick-like packaging was the selling point. No testers were open except for the berry colour (a nice fushia, but too blue for me). I settled on nude, thinking it's foolproof, especially at $6. (in photo: far-right)

    This balm is wonderful! It feels like a lipstick, that slick, creamy texture, just not as thick. It's not a waxy chapstick, or a goopy, sticky gloss.
    The nude pigment is extremely subtle, and was dead-on my colour. I haven't found a nude close to my lip colour, this was a match. It's not shimmery, though it has a bit of a dewy sheen there's no true shine. It feels lovely on and sticks around for a good amount of time. (I did put the berry colour on my wrist, similarly, it went on thin and as a nice tint, would be gorgeous on an olive skintone).

    One thing I'll stress is the packaging, it's exactly like a lipstick case not the casual balm tube, which you may or may not like. I assume it a good think: I'll be less likely to misplace it or leave it in a never-worn jacket pocket and lose it if it looks like a nice lipstick.

    Other colors I can remember are a ballerina-pink (which I think would be too white on anything but pale lips), berry, a plum, and also a coral.
    I debated getting the coral too, but (god knows why) skipped it. It's not a true coral, it's really just a bold pink (there's little orange tone in it), but it wasn't a harsh colour, which I figured was best in a balm. I'm going back to get that one, and maybe the plum if there are testers.
