    Honest Beauty's Tinted Lip Balm Is The Perfect Gift For A Mother Who Wants To Look Effortlessly Chic All The Time

    Lip balm and a woman with curly hair, highlighting affordable and cheerful Mother's Day gifts.

    Review: "I initially bought this product because I saw it as a Clinique’s Black Honey dupe, but this has honestly been one of my favorite purchases this past year. This tinted balm is both moisturizing and STUNNING! My lips look great ALWAYS when I have this on, and I get so many compliments on it. My friends also noticed it and have since bought it. The best part is that the color almost adapts to the color of your lips and so it looks slightly different on everyone, which is exactly the kind of product you need when getting ready with your girls. I bought the Plum color and I everyone I know who has it is satisfied. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!" - Jada Monroe

    Review: "I love everything in the set. The lip balm was a favorite of mine before receiving this, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone. The salve is a blessing. The honey hand cream is great to keep in my purse and use whenever. The almond & milk hand creme smells incredible. The cuticle butter is a nice addition. I use the hand creams and salve daily, and the cuticle cream every few days when I clean and trim my nails. I use the foot cream after every shower, and I’m not a huge fan of the coconut smell, but it has completely rejuvenated my dry cracking feet." - Nancy

This stuff is amazing because it feels like a Vaseline (a little thicker because since Vaseline thins out quickly) but looks like a gloss and at the same time but isn’t thick at ALL! I wanted to be sponsored off of the first tube I bought lol. I love this stuff and about to buy all flavors. Grapefruit I heard of but I bought the berry for a deeper pink tint and I don’t even like berry scents or flavors but it’s not overbearing at all. Smells delicious and long lasting." - Dee
