This is my final post in my basic favourite block, and no punny title for this one I'm afraid! There's significantly less I can say about these products, as they all serve pretty much the same sort of purpose.
Tinted lip balms are something I wear on a fairly regular basis, and my favourites are the Korres Tinted Lip Butters in Pomegranate and Mango. These are so comfortable on the lips, and offer a beautiful tint. They are quite moisturising, and their low maintenance nature makes them perfect for everyday wear. I do intend to get Wild Rose and Quince, but Guava and Jasmine aren't any that I'm particularly interested in to be honest.
Other tinted balms that I like come in the somewhat cheaper form of the Essence Glow tinted lip balms. These are neither as moisturising, nor as colourful as their Korres counterparts, but they're also almost £6 cheaper. The colours are quite pleasing, and I think they have some sort of pH shindig going on, because they seem to adjust in colour as they're on your lips over time.
My two favourite "nude" lipsticks (I say "nude" because, being this pale, I can't wear true nude colours so these are both kind of pink toned) are the Milani Color Statement lipstick in Nude Creme and the Essence long lasting lipstick in number 13 "Love Me", which is more pink than Nude Creme. They're similar formulas, with the Essence offering being more emollient. I like both of them equally, and they're lovely "everyday" kinds of colours.
My final two favourites are Revlon's Matte Balm in Stand Out - though this is representative of the entire matte balm line. I love them! This is my favourite colour of the bunch, though. I'm a sucker for a good red! These are easily the most comfortable lip colour products I own, more so even than the lip butter line by Revlon. Not only that, but their colour range is stunning. I currently have 6 of them and the line is outstanding.
Finally, Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick in Geradium. What a stunner! The colour of the lipstick itself and the outside packaging are lovely. I have to say I wasn't expecting much, but the formula of this is lovely, and the lasting power is a force not to be reckoned with. At £12.50 a throw, they're not the cheapest things going, but I do intend to explore the line a little more and see if the quality is consistent. Glamour 101, I'm coming for you.
So those are my favourite lip products of the moment. What are some of yours? I'm always open to recommendations.
I wish I had that Revlon Matte Balm, I can never find it in store and it's so annoying! Lucky girl to have 6, I have 2 matte and 1 lacquer :)

Usually all the good ones disappear quite quickly :( what do you think of the lacquer balms? I've looked at them but never picked any up in case they're just your regular tinted balm kinda thing x
