Text:Moore Sobolev, authoring the telegram channel Fierce & Cute
Sensitive lip skin, usually the first to suffer in a war with an inhospitable Russian winter, so for many of us, quality balm becomes a first necessity. Moore Soboleva collected nutritional and protective lip agents that will help to survive the cold without much loss.
Toning Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil
from 925 rub.
Not cheap, but multifunctional and very nice tool - toning oil lip gloss, which can be used alone or on top of lipstick. The formula is made not on the basis of mineral oil, like most lip products, but on esters of fatty acids. The brand regularly produces limited shades of oil, and there are often discounts on products from the regular range.
Hygienic lipstick Maybelline Baby Lips "Intensive Care"
115 rub.
A large line of Baby Lips, beloved by American women of all ages, came to us relatively recently - in 2014, although it has been in the Maybelline assortment from time immemorial. Quality in the line varies from remedy to remedy, and if tinting balms do not work for everyone, then “Intensive Care” is an excellent remedy for every day: its nutritional properties are not enough to restore very dry lips at night, but as a day balm it is an excellent option. .
Balsam Erborian Doudoune For Lips and Camellia For Lips Mask-Balsam
1490 rub. and 1620 rubles.
The Korean-French brand changes its range easily and quickly, removing from production what people have just managed to love. But Doudoune, being a bestseller, has long been maintained in the ranks, and no wonder: it is an economical and working balm that restores lips in one night and at the same time looks good during the day. Camellia For Lips is a novelty of the last year: the tool is positioned as a mask, but in fact it is a good restoring balm, which is best applied with a thick layer at night.
Kiehl's Lip Balm # 1 Balm and Buttermask For Lips Overnight Lip Treatment Mask
750 rub. and 1990 rub.
Lip Balm # 1 is one of the semi-legendary best-selling products, like Embryolisse cream or MAC Ruby lipstick Woo: a thing that everyone thinks is suitable for everyone and loved by everyone. A tool based on Vaseline and Squalane really does magic and works great, despite the simple composition. For some reason, the brand new product mixed in a pile of oils was called a night mask, although it is just a good restoring balm.
Caudalie French Kiss Toning Balm
750 rub.
An excellent eco-friendly brand does not do makeup, and the tinting balm under the non-original name French Kiss is first and foremost a balm, and then a color. There are three shades in the assortment, all have a good composition based on oils and aloe and charming packaging (it is not considered the most hygienic, but it looks lovely). The color is dull, but noticeable - for days when you want makeup without makeup.
Hygienic lipstick Himalaya Herbals Nourishing Lip Balm
109 rub.
The most famous Indian brand in Russia makes good and inexpensive products. The naturalness of their compositions is generally exaggerated, but in the case of this balm everything is fair: it is assembled from plant ingredients and beeswax. As a base under the lipstick does not fit (too tight), and for the day without makeup or for night care - very much so.
Balm Nuxe Rêve de Miel Lip Balm
1025 rub.
Heavy artillery: honey balm (really honey, allergies will not work), very tight and restoring even the skin, cracked in flaps. The price and packaging redeem the properties and efficiency: even with regular use of the balm will last for about a year. It can be applied not only on the lips, but also on the contour - in order to prevent nourishing wrinkles.
Dior Lip Glow Toning Balm
2350 rub.
The best-selling Lip Glow, made according to the principle of “appearing color” (this is when the balm enhances your own lip tint), was last year added a lip scrub in stick, and in this a color ruler. This is a good soft balsam in luxurious packaging: the brand suggests using it independently, as a base for makeup, and even as a top - over lipstick.
Hygienic lipstick Nivea Original Care
119 rub.
Nivea has very good tinting hygienic lipsticks, but the main bestseller is “Basic Care,” or Original Care. An uncomplicated composition does not interfere with the means to be the best assistant during long walks in the cold: the balm forms a thin film on the lips, thanks to which even strong wind does not dry the skin. The main disadvantage of lipstick is that it ends pretty quickly, but this, given the modest price, is not scary.
Lipstick balm YSL Volupté Liquid Color Balm
2537 rub.
Brands often name their lipsticks with balms, although in fact they do not have special moisturizing properties, but this is not a case of YSL: the brand managed to combine a powerful nutritional formula and a bright color. The tool is a saturated liquid glossy lipstick, which at the same time well restores the skin affected by the cold weather and its matte sisters. The line also has Rehab Mask - a colorless moisturizing balm.
Balsam Skyn Iceland Berry Lip Fix
999 rub.
Pleasant vegan brand combines technological ingredients such as peptides with many favorite plant extracts, pomace from environmentally friendly plants and Icelandic glacial water. Berry Lip Fix has a good natural composition, a comfortable nose, dense texture (the balm is squeezed out with some effort) and the smell of berries. Good for the night, and in order to nourish lips before applying lipstick.
Tinted balm Givenchy Le Rouge Perfecto
2710 rub.
Givenchy did not lag behind Dior, and this year they also released a color line of their balms - in addition to the colorless Le Rouge Perfecto. Star line - shade of Blue Pink. He, like Liv's Lips lipstick used to be hunted by collectors, looks black with glitters in stick and turns into a beautiful cold pink on his lips (the sparkles do not go away). Le Rouge Perfecto moisturize gives a moderate (it is not a restoring balm), but pleasure - the sea.
Balsam L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Lip Balm
680 rub.
Shea butter kings - very few people know how to handle this fairly common ingredient so well - for the New Year, their best sellers were dressed in elegant packages. In addition to a dense balm with 10% oil in the assortment, two limited novelties appeared - with scents of rose and honeysuckle. Despite its dense texture, all L'Occitane balms can also be used as a lip gloss: on the skin it thaws and evenly distributes.
Tinting balm Benefit Benebalm
1280 rub.
Toning lip balms that match the color of the famous tint (four shades in total, to the new Gogo Tint, there is no “pair” balm yet) are the invisible heroes of the brand: they invariably remain in the shadow of the main assortment. These are cute, relatively bright and honestly moisturizing products that are easy to lay down and fit into almost any makeup.
