A tinted lip balm better than Maybelline Baby Lips???


I feel like the majority of YouTube and the beauty blogging world are obsessed with Maybelline Baby Lips. I admit, I have a handful of different Baby Lips myself, but what I've come to notice is they're not very hydrating and I actually think using them makes my lips chapped! If you've used any of the Baby Lips, you've probably noticed they have a very thin formula that sits on the lips and doesn't sink in to provide any hydration. I love them for just a natural, quick, no-mirror-necessary pop of color - but I just find it disappointing that they're drying and don't provide the necessary nourishment that my lips need.


This weekend I stumbled upon a tinted lip balm that I'm loving even MORE than Maybelline Baby Lips (yeah, I said it!) because they're truly hydrating, they provide a subtle color and they don't make my lips feel chapped! Enter the NYX Color Lip Balms! ($3.75 for 0.14oz) These have been in the drugstore for some time now, but only now have I had the sense to grab a few!

I picked up four colors: Asante, Merci, Obrigado and Shukran. 

NYX Color Lip Balm in Asante
NYX Color Lip Balm in Merci
NYX Color Lip Balm in Obrigado
NYX Color Lip Balm in Shukran

I am loving these balms! They are now replacing Baby Lips in my purse, and my lips couldn't be happier! 

What are your favorite tinted lip balms?

  1. YAY! Someone else who doesn't worship Baby Lips! I am so not a fan either. I got one of these in one of my beauty subscription boxes, maybe a Total Beauty Collection, I don't know. But anyway you get way nicer color and they feel better on =) Great review!

  2. YAY! these colors look lovely on you. Haven't seen these. I've seen the new butter ones they came out with. I love NYX and really must check these out next time I pop by Ulta. THanks for visiting my blog.

    1. Thanks, lovely! I'm curious if these are being phased out with the new NYX Butter Balms... which I don't like as much as these even! Fingers crossed they aren't - but you can get them on CherryCulture.com. :)

  5. I was NOT a fan of the baby lips! They provided a pretty wash of color, but did nothing that I expected a lip balm to do! I love these colors that you have; I think I need to pick up some of these soon!

  6. These sound really nice! I actually do quite like the Baby Lips formula, but these sounds great as well :)

  7. I could not agree with you more. The baby lips totally dried me out but I loved the NYX.

  8. Merci and Obrigado and beautiful pink rose shades! They seem a bit dry though, I can't have dry formulas at all because my lips are always a bit dry but I definitely love trying new balms. I want to try their butter gloss!

    1. Oh my goodness, the NYX Butter Glosses are my holy grail lip glosses. Super moisturizing and a fabulous wash of color. They also smell fantastic!

  11. ‘obrigado' looks stunning! Totally agreed with you, i never purchased the baby lips and I only have one that came in a ‘latest in beauty’ box and I’ve to say that they are not that moisturising :/
    I can’t wait to try these! great post! <3
