Balmy Tint Hydrating Lip Balm

"A tinted balm for people who say they don't wear lipstick, then wear this daily."
Our take

$29 Price at Ilia, checked Oct 2026.

The short answer

ILIA Balmy Tint Hydrating Lip Balm is a tinted balm with sea succulent, rosehip oil and shea butter that adds sheer, buildable color. At $29 it is worth it if you want a comfortable, moisturizing balm with a natural wash of color. Each one is poured by hand.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: It hydrates and gives color in one step, and the shades are easy to wear every day. You can dial the color up or down with more swipes.
Skip it if: You want long-wearing or opaque color, or avoid beeswax.
The catch: $29 is a lot for a lip balm, and you will reapply it like any balm.
