Comments on Stacy S.'s review of TerraTints
Okay product, bad color!
I was searching for a tinted lip balm type product that had SPF, which is surprisingly hard to find. I thought this product would fit the bill perfectly, but I was disappointed when I tried it.
Terra Tints come in six colors made with minerals and an SPF of 18.
The colors are:
Bloom: light pink
Blaze: pink red
Kona: light brown
Sienna: bronze
Garnet: sheer neutral red (comes in purple tube)
Heather: bluish pink
There is a slight minty tingle to this balm (although nothing like the fantastic Burt's Bees), and no taste. When applied, the product feels very dry. It isn't moisturizing, so if you need a super moisturizing lip balm I would recommend trying Moistic (which is also available at most Whole Foods type stores).
I tried the Bloom color which I found to be awfully pale even for my really light skin... I'm not sure that it would look good on anyone, honestly. It was hard to apply, with a texture that wasn't soft but wasn't hard... plus, it seems to feather and bleed when applied.
I wish this product was more moisturizing, had better, more natural looking colors, and had a better texture. Alba Botanica usually does a fantastic job with their products, but this lip balm was a miss for me.. I definitely would not repurchase.
