Recently, the Beauty by POPSUGAR Be Sweet Tinted Lip Balm SPF 15 ($20) won a Cosmetic Executive Women's (CEW) award for the best indie makeup category, and it's easy to see why.

The balm is formulated with candelilla wax and blueberry oil, which gives it its super moisturizing and antioxidant protection, while the SPF shields lips from UVA and UVB rays/ The sheer wash of color it provides makes each shade (available in seven colors) flattering on all skin tones and is great for days you want a natural makeup look.

Since the product has long been a favorite in the POPSUGAR office, we asked staffers to share what they love about the product, ahead.

Beauty by POPSUGAR Be Sweet Tinted Lip Balm in Daydreamer

"I love how buttery soft this feels on my lips and that I can apply it quickly without a mirror. The sheer formula gives me just enough color to feel pulled together. I especially love the purple-toned Daydreamer shade for adding a deeper color to my lips." – Sarah Siegel, assistant editor, Beauty

Beauty by POPSUGAR Be Sweet Tinted Lip Balm in Pucker Up

"There aren't enough heart-eye emojis in the world to describe how I felt when I first swiped on this color. It's the perfect cross between berry and red — two color families on the lipstick spectrum where I feel most at home. It almost looks and wears like a lip stain (my favorite type of lip product), but it's so creamy thanks to the balm consistency. With the added bonus of SPF 15, this is for sure my new Summer go-to." – Carrie Carrollo, assistant editor, Native Beauty

"This tinted lip balm is the best. I like the Choose Happy shade and love the way it blends with my natural lip color. It goes on so smoothly and leaves my lips hydrated and glossy. It also has a pretty orange undertone and SPF. I would recommend this lip balm to anyone who wants moisturized lips with an added touch of color." –Lauren Harano, editorial coordinator, Growth and Strategic Features

"This lip balm is so hydrating on my lips, and I love that I can swipe it once for a sheer shade or twice to make the color more vibrant. Also, you can't go wrong with the SPF component, which make this my go-to all year long." – Chelsea Candelario, intern, Native Editorial

"This tinted lip balm is a godsend for Summer. I don't think I've ever put something on my lips that moisturizes so quickly. The shade is so versatile, I can use it to finish off a full glam look or to add a little splash of color to an otherwise naked face. Oh, and it has SPF?! I'll be wearing this every day, thank you." –Charisandra Perez, coordinator, Social Media and Partnerships
