Each of these flavours offers a different tint for you to choose from! Have your pick from an array of colours ranging from pinks to corals. It’s not just about how cute they look, many have also loved them for their excellent quality, which is said to be just as good as the famous Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm.
How to use: If you are a fan of chubby sticks, this is definitely the product for you. Simply remove the cap and glide it onto your lips. If you’re going for a sharper look, use a lip brush for more precise application. Otherwise, it can be worn under a lip colour to prevent your lips from cracking.
Price: SGD9.90. Get it at major drugstores, or here.
2. Sephora Collection Kiss Me Balm
Why people love it: Named after sweets and fizzy drinks, the tinted lip balms in this line by Sephora make its way on to the list for being affordable yet cute, travel-friendly and great quality. Users have loved it for its rich pigments, as well as its attractive scents. Each of these egg-like balm comes in a different shade and scent, so we’re not surprised there are makeup junkies out there who want to collect them all!
How to use: The application is as simple as it gets. Glide the balm starting from the centre of your upper lip from one corner to another. Repeat the same step for your lower lip, and you are good to go!
Price: SGD14. Get it at Sephora.
3. 3CE Barbapapa Tinted Treatment Lip Balm
Why people love it: Indie Korean brand 3CE has always been known for their practical products loved by ulzzang (beautiful South Korean women) and their cute packaging – this tinted lip balm’s no exception! Users love the butter-like creaminess of this tinted lip balm, and its subtle pink tint looks universally flattering. Many have also sworn by it as a lip sleeping mask. All you have to do is apply a generous amount of it before going to sleep! However, there’s one drawback: it comes in a tub so you’ll have to use your fingers to apply the product, which may be seen as unhygienic by some.
How to use: Glide clean finger onto the lip balm and swipe it onto your lips.
Price: SGD19. Get it at Sephora.
4. Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm
Why people love it: When you think of lip balms, Burt’s Bees’ signature is definitely one of the best out there.

Many love the great colour payoff and that it helps to prevent chapping with minimal reapplication.
