MAC SunTints SPF 20 Liquid Lip Balm Swatches and Review

I've had the opportunity to try these new liquid lip balms from MAC. First of all, these are lip balms as described, so these are very moisturizing but give only the sheerest color on the lips. This product is great for summer as it pampers the lips with healing emollients and yet give sun protection on the lips. Honestly, I live in a very hot environment during summer, and I am very particular about slathering sunscreen on my face (nothing lower than SPF 90) and my body (I use SPF 100). But I ALWAYS forget to put sunscreen on my lips. This product is probably the best product for me. It has the famous MAC vanilla scent. The texture is not sticky, and it reminds me of MAC's lip gelees, but a bit thicker.

Suntints SPF20 liquid lip balm has 5 variants. Just a Smidge is a soft pastel yellow with multi-colored pearl, Lilt of Lily is a soft creamy pale pink, Pink Tinge is a clean bright yellow pink with gold pearl, Full of Grace is soft sheer rose, and Moist Plum is a light lilac with very fine pearl. Moist Plum is my favorite and will be getting one today. I tried it on my lips and it gives just a whisper of lilac tinge on the lips, but packs on shine and amazing luster.

I have many different kinds of lip balms, but what I like about this is the convenient squeeze tube, as I don't like dipping my fingers in pots like those tinted lip conditioners from MAC. I also like the pretty shades and the sunscreen. Remember that this is a lip balm and not lip gloss or lipstick, so you might not get a lot of pigment. You can try these at your MAC counter or store. Hurry as this is a limited edition product and stocks might not last.
