Calling this crazy pigmented lippy a tinted lip balm is doing it an injustice. It's more like a very moisturising lip gloss. Very moisturising!Containing lanolin (yes it's from sheep and so isn't vegan friendly), it's thick, smooth, and glossy.It can be sheered out to give lips a natural tint, or packed on with a lip brush for evening glamour.
It won't last as long as a red lipstick of course but it's a joy to reapply. Oh and it even has SPF15. Aweesooomeee...
In case you're wondering, it's scentless and tasteless so it doesn't smell sheepy. =P
My one issue with this gloss is that it doesn't even TRY to have an applicator. I've always preferred glosses with either a brush or doe foot applicator but this one doesn't even have a slanted or rounded tip. It'a a tube's tip. Period. For sheer application I have to use my finger, and for a brilliant, true red, I use a lip brush.
It's a pressie from Eli and costs AUD$13.90 - pricey but it really is quite lovely. I'm angling to get a pretty pink shade now.
(PS: sorry ladies I wanted to upload a swatch but wretched internet not cooperating! Will do it when I can!)

spf15 and moisturizing and pigmented? sold! I want! Argh, but perhaps unavailable here. Must look around. Why is it the Australian brands? I started using my Bloom lip gloss again recently, and was reminded of how comfortable it feels. It's really nice.
I have full access to this and yet I've not even try it out yet. Talk about slapping myself on the forehead :P
i viewed the shades
and im eye-ing on rose too!
such a pretty pink
kuri: maybe the insane weather there lends itself to moisturising lippies?
Tine: Well you have to admit the packaging's a wee bit jeng and the price kinda high. But now you know.
Lynn: And the new shade, Rhubarb. SHO PRETTY!
but I DO love the smell of lamb! Waiting for the swatch. It sounds incredible, this awesome lip glossy lip balm
Love Lanolips, it's very popular!

I am wondering what is Lisa's take on Dark Honey now, hee hee.
I've never seen a lip product with a (Merino?) sheep as its "face" before! :-) Look closely.. the darn sheep's got pout-y lips too!
