Terra Tints

Lip Balm season has arrived and it's only going to get colder. Being a lip balm devotee, I wanted to share a good natural, tinted one.

Terra Tints come in several shades and are a medium to deep tint. I have one in terracotta type shade( old style, and now discontinued I think) and it acts as both balm and lipstick which is handy. They have good pigment which provides more than just a sheer color wash.


As I said mine, however, is the older style tube, and they have a new look, but hopefully the same formulation.


They are also extremely natural with good ingredients. I find them to be a good moisturizer, and they have a peppermint scent.


The balms have SPF 18 and are all mineral tints.
