Tinted Lip Balm Challenge: We Put The Best Brands To The Test (PHOTOS)

Worse yet, it's impossible to maintain focus when you've got an urge to bite away at the flaky skin on your own lips. (Gross, we know. But it can just be so darn frustrating!)

Palladio Herbal Tinted Lip Balm swatches

I’ve been trying out a lot of tinted lip balms lately and consider the Palladio lip balms as some of my favorites. They’re not as moisturizing or thick and, consequently, not as long lasting as my beloved NYC Lip Sliders Tinted Lip Balms, but they don’t dry out my lips like the Korres lip butters. The Palladio balms are very creamy smooth and not waxy, sticky, or greasy in texture. And they have good color payoff, especially the darker shades.

I can’t detect any taste/flavor in these products. About Hurraw!
