Many of us have just made it through another few months of cold weather, and though this past winter has been a relatively mild one, that doesn't change the fact that it still managed to wreck havoc on our skin and leave us with badly chapped lips. While regular lip balm is amazing — be it a drugstore pick or something luxe — sometimes you just want (read: need) to wear something that's a little more fun and colorful, but not as big of a commitment as lipstick. That's where tinted lip balms come in.
Go ahead and put down your lipstick and snap up one of these tinted lip balms to apply all day and night long.
