Lip balms with SPF [Review]

Beauty Tips For Body Care
SCA, what are your favourite lip balms with SPF? I’m mostly talking tinted here, as I don’t often wear strong lip colour at all. I have always worn SPF over my whole face and neck when going out so it seems crazy that lots of tinted lip balms don’t have any SPF in at all when it seems like the cosmetics industry is finally starting to realise its importance, and adding UV blocking agents to foundations, many more day creams, powders, etc.I am in the UK but travel to the US fairly often and love to raid the drugstores there and find lots of things I can’t find in the chemists at home! I know I’m not alone in the sheer joy of exploring foreign drugstores!Anyway, here is what I’ve found that I like. Please tell me your favourites!My current cheap thrill- Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm. It comes in a sheer red, a sheer peach and a sheer pink (my favourite). SPF is only 15 but it’ll do. £4.50.http://www.boots.com/carmex-moisture-plus-ultra-hydrating-lip-balm-pink-sheer-tint-spf15-2g-10132736Elizabeth Arden lip protectant stick, spf 15. I have it in ‘berry’, which is a stronger colour than I would probably wear every day. SPF 15 again but it’ll do! About £20 in shops but £12 here on allbeauty.comhttp://www.allbeauty.com/6390-elizabeth-arden-eight-hour-lip-protectant-stick?ref=%7Badtype%7D&utm_source=%7Badtype%7D&utm_medium=FREE&&currency=GBP&country=48&&gclid=CjwKEAiA_p_FBRCRi_mW5Myl4S0SJAAkezZrt0eOyGA55DLOR2_pg2ajHLcO-QGi5716p09HCG5jTBoC9R_w_wcBMy US favourites are the ‘Fresh’ Sugar lip balms I’ve bought from Sephora before but I know are available through the Fresh website in the UK. Great array of colours and not too shiny!http://www.sephora.com/sugar-lip-treatment-spf-15-P57002?skuId=1793785&icid2=products%20grid:p57002My very favourite to get in the UK - L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime tinted lip balm, SPF 25. My favourite shade is ‘Rose Nude’. Not too shiny! Comes in clear, plum and brownish shades too. If you like this, buy a few as it’s a seasonal product and I have been out of luck going in for it in the Autumn! £12.http://uk.loccitane.com/nude-tinted-lip-beauty-balm,83,1,66855,702654.htm#s=75880Honourable mentions go to Palmers - clear option and a rosy red. SPF 15. About £3Vaseline ‘sticks’ (perhaps UK only?) a very very sheer pink and a clear option, SPF 15. About £3Jane Iredale ‘LipDrink’ lip balm, SPF 15. I have ‘Crush’ which is a raspberry pink with quite a lot of pigment. Tastes satisfyingly of ‘Refreshers’ sweets. Around £15 though can be found for less.I would love it if Pixi made their lovely lip balm sticks with SPF!I have babbled on. Please share your thoughts! x
