Disclaimer: My Human Nature lip balm in watermelon was bought in Beauty Bar Greenbelt 5 some time ago. The Human Nature tinted lip balm in Island Kiss was sent to me by their team.

Maybe I should do a comparative review or something? I dunno haha. I could just say that I like them both for different reasons?  That would be too simple, I guess. Anyway, here it goes.

The Comparison

Texture

Regular Lip Balm: Quite solid.

Tinted Lip Balm: Solid enough but creamy when you use it.

Waxiness

Regular Lip Balm: Waxy.

Tinted Lip Balm: A little waxy but not too uncomfortable.

Color

Regular Lip Balm: none

Tinted Lip Balm: orangey, coraly

Scent

Regular Lip Balm: watermelon

Tinted Lip Balm: hm, reminds me of chocolate for some reason

Effectivity

Both: Keeps lips from chapping in air-conditioned room for 3-4 hours. 

Price

Regular Lip Balm:PhP 69.75 (approx USD 1.60)

Tinted Lip Balm: PhP 79.75 (approx USD 2.00)

Among the lip balms in stick form that I have tried (Chapstick, Nivea, Human Nature), I like these more than Nivea and Chapstick. Granted that Nivea does have tinted lip balms, I never liked the feeling of their lip balms. But I do use them when I can’t buy anything else.  As for Chapstick, I dunno. I am just not happy with it anymore because it feels more waxy than anything. The Human Nature regular lip balm feels a bit like Chapstick somehow but at least it seems to be more effective on my lips.  With Chapstick, I apply the product more often (maybe twice as often) compared to the one from Human Nature. And I like the minty feel of Human Nature lip balms.♥

For those who want some lip color, the tinted lip balms come in three variants but I only have one with me.  Liz of Project Vanity reviewed the Flame Tree variant. I am not sure who has reviewed Pink Orchid but if you have, please feel free to share your thoughts about the product.

Pictures of the Island Kiss tinted lip balm:

That’s the color of the lip balm when you open the cap.

It’s fairly obvious when you swipe it on your hand. And if you have pale lips.

The color is more obvious once you swipe it a couple more times. Kinda like sheer lipstick to me. :)

This is just the first of a series of reviews of products by Human Nature. :) I have yet to talk about the Sunflower Beauty Oil and their Love Minerals blush in Petal Bloom.  Which reminds me, I need to write about them too under the series of “Brands that I use” XD  

For more details, check out the Human Nature website and/or the Human Nature Facebook page.  You could also buy them from Beauty Bar branches locally or via Beauty Bar online.

Here’s hoping that some of you will find this review useful especially now that evenings are a bit chillier than usual.   It’s the season ;) Merry Christmas, everyone! :)
