Beauty editor's preferred must-have item: Tinted lip balm - my secret stash

In the world of beauty, tinted lip balms have become as essential as mascara, and one person who can't get enough of them is Sarah-Jane Corfield-Smith, the Beauty Director at GTG. SJ is always armed with multiple lip balms and a facial mist, making her a true beauty connoisseur.

Recently, SJ has added the Makeup Revolution Juicy Peptide Lip Balm in Pink Strawberry to her collection. Priced at £5.99, this budget-friendly option is a great addition for those who want a pop of colour without breaking the bank.

For those seeking a more luxurious option, Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in Grapefruit, priced at £16, is a popular choice. This balm contains murumuru and shea butter, leaving lips feeling moisturised and glossy. It comes in four fruit-inspired shades with coordinating scents.

Another favourite of SJ's is the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint in Ribbon, priced at £18. This tinted lip balm stands out for its buttery and silky texture, colour palette, and the added bonus of an Rhode iPhone case.

For those who prefer a sheer tint, The Inkey List Tripeptide Plumping Lip Balm is the perfect choice. Priced at £11, this balm is packed with peptides, plant oils, and nourishing butters. It comes in three shades, including a clear option, and contains a tripeptide complex that increases lip volume over time.

For those on a budget, Boots Glossy Lip Balm in Cherry, priced at £3, is a great option. This lip balm sells every 30 seconds due to going viral.

Lastly, Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Balm in Latte, priced at £12, is a versatile option. It is available in nine shades, has a pleasing oversized applicator, and can be used as an overnight mask with the clear shade.

With tinted lip balms rising in popularity, it's no wonder that SJ carries at least four of them in her handbag at any given time. Whether you're looking for a budget-friendly option or a luxurious treat, there's a tinted lip balm out there for everyone.
