Lip balm?

I actually did not know this was called a lip balm until I started writing this review. Lip balm?? I do not know how they call it that. It is definetly a lip stick. It even comes with a lip brush to apply. Have you heard of a lip balm that does that. This is very thick, hard to apply and drying. Again not a lip balm. I did not like the colour either. I would think if it is called Big Apple, I would picture it to be a bright vibrant blue-red. This is more of an orange-red.

Pretty impressed with this product even considering it's not really for me. The packaging is great cause even as a tinted lip balm, it has a lot of pigment and you could apply with your finger, but could get a little messy, so having a “lip brush” in the “handle” is great to do the edges. This is a great neutral color with a hint of pink. The color in the pot doesn't really match how it looks of your lips in a good way. There isn't a smell to the product and it last pretty good on the lips, again think lip balm and pretty moisturizing.



I love the idea and formula, but the colour disappointed. I love quick fixes. Having a brush and the balm in one handy container makes my life easy and great to throw un my purse. I just wish the colour was a bit bolder!

This tint is a great girly sassy color. Long lasting and amazing quality. You can wear this at the office or in the night club. A great basic to have in your make up bag!

I got this in an ipsy glam bag. Beautiful colour, feels amazing and lasts like nothing else. The actually price is expensive. $19 per pot. Its not actually that bad, but then when you add in shipping to Canada at $49.95 all of the sudden you are paying almost $70. The website has no other shipping options. I highly recommend it if you live in the states. If you don't, maybe leave it.

I received the Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm in Big Apple in my September Ipsy Glambag (sign up here if interested http://www.ipsy.com/?refer=u-hffrf5bgd6x76lo)
Here is the link to the Cailyn website http://www.cailyncosmetics.com/product_p/tlb08.htm#.UjJTodKsjTo

I love the colour that this balm brings. It's bold and has some really awesome staying power (better than any lipstick, even my Urban Decay)

The price tag is a little more than I would ever like to pay for a lip balm, but it does the trick in 1) giving you colour and 2) moisturizing you lips.

The only down side is that it is a very matte colour where I prefer shine on my lips, but Cailyn does offer shimmer balms to use over the top of the tinted balms to give you that glam look.
