I absolutely adore tinted lip balms, and I'm dying to lay my hands on some of the Fresh Sugar... but they are impossible to come by on Europe as far as I know, unless you order from Sephora and use a separate company that offers re-shipping worlwide... a bit of a pain.

I thought perhaps it was just that particular shade, but I'd have to try the others out in person before I made the purchase. Shame, because I was so excited to receive a Pixi product in my birchbox!

Your lips look impossibly smooth and glossy, mine look lined, uneven and dry with the Pixi balm on. How is that possible?!

I have had success with Burt's Bees tinted lip balms though - while their naked balms tend to be waxy, minty and not up to much, the tinted balms are moisturising and with a creamier, comforting texture. The tints are more subtle than Fresh (booo!) buuuut that can be good on low/no make-up days.<br />Ehh, sometimes you can't beat the most expensive option!Unpaletteablenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589727970044632991.post-12049304257583888712015-01-11T00:14:19.402-05:002015-01-11T00:14:19.402-05:00Drat.

Sorry to hear it doesn't live up to your expectations tho. I guess drier lips are pickier! I actually don't have many tinted lip balms at all. I don't really look for them. Generally speaking, my lips are fine as long as I slap on a thick layer of balm before bedtime and not wear a drying lip product. I drink a lot of water and never lick my lips, but I guess a lot of this is also just genetic!
