Hydrating & Tinted Benefit Lip balms

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share with you two lip products I have been loving recently- the hydrating, tinted lip balms from Benefit. Specifically I will review and swatch two of the four balms in the range- Lollibalm and Benebalm.
These balms contain mango butter and sodium hyaluronate, which are designed to hydrate and condition the lips reducing the appearance of fine lines and chapped skin. Although I have to mention that they do not contain SPF, which means for me personally they are not my ideal lip product for extended periods of time outdoors.


Lollibalm is a candy orchid colour with subtle pink undertones which become much more noticeable when applied to the lips.

Benebalm is a red rose colour, which when applied brightens the whole face with a healthy, flush of colour. 

Conclusion; These lip balms are perfect for everyday wear- especially school and gym where you don’t need a full-face of makeup. The stunning packaging and fruity scent of these products alone have me hooked and make me think they should belong in a candy store rather than a cosmetics counter. Although these lip balms are sheer coverage, they are build-able and can be easily layered for a more vibrant colour pay off. In saying this people with darker pigmented lips may experience more of a struggle building colour. These lip balms leave my lips looking and feeling hydrated, smooth, tinted and glossy- effortlessly brightening my whole completion in just one simple swipe.


I'd love to know whether you guys would be interested in some makeup tutorials. Comment below some looks you would be interested in seeing and your thoughts on the Benefit lip balms!
