Bliss Steep Clean Pore Purifying Mask

Not worth the money

This product does a mediocre job of cleaning. I was cool to mix the "formula" together and you really get the impression that you are activating the product. However, the thrill never comes. For the price, you should get a better product.

Guerlain Terracotta The Bronzing Powder

believable color

I love this powder. It sweeps on sheerly and easily leaving your skin with a sunkissed look that is not orange. Yes, the price is prohibitive, but it lasts forever. I have had mine for at least a year and, it looks as if it has never been touched.

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

Perfect 10

Great price, lasting softness, in a pretty yellow tube that makes it easy to find in the bottom of my purse.

Stila Lip Pots

Poire

I love the way this balm looks and feels on your lips. It adds just the perfect nude shade to my highly pigmented lips. It makes them look subtly sexy, but not overtly so. Alas, they do not make this shade anymore.

Lush Lip Balms

Does what it needs to

I have this balm in honeytrap, chocolate whipstick and eggnog. They are ok, the taste is the best thing about them. The honeytrap and eggnog were gifts. Although I enjoyed them, I don't think I would purchase them again. For the money, I think that there are better balms.

MAC Tendertone Lip Balm SPF12

Sheer colored balm

This product softens and moisturizes your lips, but I was rather disappointed at the sheerness of the color. In the jar, it looks much more pigmented than when you smooth it on your lips.

Rosebud Perfume Co. Smith's Rosebud Salve Tin

Great all-around moisture salve

This is a great multi-tasking product. In addition to being a wonderful lipbalm, you can use it to moisturize and soften just about any part of your body. The price is great.

C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Balm Stick-No Shine

Great balm

I love that this balm softens your lips and lasts a long time, but doesn't make your lips greasy or shiny. It is very convenient to use under lipcolor and the minty taste is a bonus.

Bobbi Brown Tinted Lip Balm

convenient and pretty

I really enjoy the "put lipcolor on without a mirror" convenience of this balm. The packaging adds a level of chic to balm. The colors are pretty and well pigmented. It is a bit pricey, although it stays on your lips longer than most balms; at 17 bucks a pop, the tube should be larger.

bareMinerals Lip Rev-er Upper

Lip softener

This product makes your lips soft and ready for lipstick. It is not greasy or sticky and helps your lipcolors last without feeling tacky.
