Most Helpful Positive Review So Delicious! these are so yummy! the scent is very similar to the jelly glosses (reminds me of pop rocks candy!). they make my lips feel so luscious! they definitely give you that, natural, healthy look. very hydrating!
i got the shades happy and blissful because i love nude lips!
Most Helpful Critical Review Meh Oh all the HOLY GRAIL elf products I own, I wasn't impressed by these. They look, feel, and smell cheap. Not bad, but just an average tinted lip balm. I gave them to my 8 year old daughter who is thrilled with them.

fl48gurl from Hudson, Fl
I bought the color Happy and it is a beautiful rosey nude...like the color I wish my lips were normally...and for a lip shine it is very creamy yet just sheer enough to be not quite opaque. I love this lip shine/ balm and look forward to trying more colors.
Also...the scent was a little fruity but very, very minimal. I highly recommend this product.
Love it! Super Moisturizing! 5
Donna from Indiana
Mine (Joyful) smells like watermelons and it's super moisturizing. It makes my lips look so nice and the color is sheer and perfect for me. If you're like me and don't like lipstick but just a hint of color instead, use this!
Perfect! 5

I got the shade Delightful to match the cool toned eyeshadow looks I've been doing more recently and I really love it. It wears and feels like a lip balm, but the opacity and finish looks most similar to a cream lipstick in my opinion. The scent reminds me of pears and is fairly strong, not a problem for me because I think it smells really good but I could see someone else not loving that. This color is also definitely a light mauve and the purple tone really shows, I think it's flattering on my light-medium skin with cool undertones but during the summer months when I'm tanner I think I'd need to wear it with a darker lipliner underneath so it doesn't look too light.
Great but not for people sensitive to scents 5
MoxiRox from St. Louis, MO
Nice and pigmented plus moisturizing. I have Joyful and Cheery (NOT cherry) and I love the colors. Cheery is a nice coral-orange but even though it's a nice tint, it's not too loud. Joyful is a nice neutral mauve that almost matches my natural lip color. The melon scent is strong and not my favorite, but since I can tolerate fruity it's worth it. It doesn't really stay on your lips once you put it on. These make me think it's a dupe for the Rare Beauty ones since the names are similar.
Perfect all around 5
AnneCC from Oklahoma
I'm 30 y/o with crusty lips from this dry winter thanks 2020. This almost doubled as a chapstick & lipstick. Goes on well. Great price. I don't feel compelled to try anything "higher end" when this does the job. A staple in my makeup bag now.
Good, not Great 3
Lokimika from Honeoye Falls, NY
This is basically a step up from a lip balm. It has a glossy texture. Did not like the strange chemical smell/taste. Does not last. Will not buy again.
I would not 4
GonzalezMy from California
I first of all got the shade blissful which looked not terrible but not great on me so my mistake . But the scent was kind of weird to me , it's like an odd sweet scent , which goes away but it's definitely there . To describe the smell ... it sort of has like a melon perfume aroma .
Color me impressed... 5
CaliMH from San Francisco
I'm always intrigued by lip balms and this one from elf was a wonderful surprise! They're comfortable, hydrating, and moderately pigmented. If you apply more swipes you get more pigment, but you can go for a light wash of color too. My favorite part about this is that it's not TOO balmy or creamy - it's a perfect balance of both. That being said, for me it's not one I'd go for if I had chapped lips because it tends to emphasize the texture but that's to be expected. I rarely write reviews... this one deserves it! I got Happy and Blissful. Happy is a MLBB rosy-mauve color on me, and Blissful is a nice nude for me. Love them!
Love it! 5
Mari from Minnesota
Loved the color and how it felt on my lips!
My New Favorite Lip Product 5
Chilly Jilly from Brainerd MN
I love this tinted lip balm! I have the shade "happy". It's a great mlbb shade to throw on without a mirror. I'd like to eventually try more shades. The smell is nice. The first time I smelled it I thought, " Oooo, blueberry jelly donut".
Very nice! Especially for makeup beginners 5
Karson from NM - New Mexico
Nice color payoff but still sheer to start off with. Weird smell in the tube, not bad just chemically and you can't smell it once it's applied. Definitely getting more. Great beginning makeup since they're sheer enough for everyday wear but can be built up for excellent color. Highly recommend.
Moisturizing and Great Color! 5
Donna from Monterey, CA
Purchased a few colors to start out with, then went back for the rest. Love the moisture, and the heart "core" is a cute added touch. Also appreciate the stick form, not a pot where you have to dip in your fingers.
Nice Tinted Balm 5
Alisia from Colorado
This is a lovely formula, glides on and leaves lips feeling hydrated for hours with a sheer wash of color. I have Blissful, a light orangey color on me. Really appreciate this product for no makeup days at home when my lips are feeling dry & I want a hint of color to my lips. Already bought a second color!
Love This stuff 5
outlawshelly from Flint, Michigan
I love this stuff. I'm not a chap stick fan at all and this stuff doesn't feel like a chap stick at all . It's very hydrating my lips are normally dry and cracked and this stuff keeps them from cracking and they feel so soft . Plus the best part is that it's not sticky at all.
It's a miss for me 2
Aims from Worcester MA
I do love many of the products elf has put out; but this is a no for me sadly. The scent...oh boy. I cannot get over how scented it is. I also found the formula to be kind of goopy and not all that great. Gave it 2 stars for shades and cute packaging.
Love it! 4
LuzE from Davie, Fl
I find it super hydrating. The color is gorgeous and sheer for that nice wash of color. I'm definitely going to buy more shades. But the only bad thing is the smell. Its not bad where its unbearable but it smells like some 90's candy I hated as a kid.
Moisturizing! 5
Cellardoor238 from Minnesota
I have this in the shade Joyful. It smells nice, feels sooooo good on my lips, actually moisturizes and the color is just an amazing little something extra. Love this! Buying Lovely next
Dupe for Fenty 5
Hol from PA
Wow this lip balm immediately impressed me! I purchased the orangey red (kind of coral) shade Giddy and it looks and feels so close to the Fenty Tang Thang balm! It has a rich buttery feel and glides easily onto the lips but isn't super slick. It smells exactly like Pop Rocks candy in the tube which is awesome, but it has no taste and I can't smell it once applied to the lips so if scents both you I think you'll be ok. I love this so much! It's less slick, less pigmented, and more buttery feeling than the newer Revlon balmy lipsticks. I think the L'Oréal Plump and Shine balms are still my fave but if you love tinted balms this Elf is amazing!
Lovely color... 3
JenniferM from undisclosed
I got Blissful, and it is beautiful, so for that, I'm happy to have it. However, the moisturizing feel did not last long. There are other tinted lip balms that are better at hydrating. Again, the color is A+.
Just went back for 3 more Happy!! 5
BostonChic25 from Boston, MA
Okay, I have already reviewed these and LOVE them (sheer, natural, moisturizing and minimal scent/taste (watermelon). These blow away those by other brands! The shade Happy matches my lips exactly (I am OBSESSED), so went back and bought 3 more just now. I want one every place I reach for my normal Burts Bees chapstick - work, purse, home and coat pocket!
Not very creamy 3
NancyA from undisclosed
I like the color, but it's not creamy feeling. At first I couldn't tell by the pics how it worked, if the color squished up through the heart, or what. The heart is a center core in the middle of the stick of color. It appears to be clear, but it's hard to tell. I would not buy again, but it is inexpensive enough to give it a try.
Sheer color! Moisturizing! Minimal scent! LOVE!!!! 5
GwenK from Boston, MA
I watched a slew of reviews on these, as the color swatches on the arm in the photo here didn't match up to the initial review video I watched. These are all I want in a balm/gloss and more! I ordered Happy (deeper rosy brown nude), Lovely (bright burst of coraly rose) and Joyful (more cotton-candy toned pink on my lips - my least favorite). OH MY GOD these are heaven! I want to order a dozen of Happy so that I never run out. It is my exact lip tint, but better! I'm glad I didn't pay attention to the reviews that mentioned scent. I have a sensitive nose and there is almost no scent at all here. These are the balms I wish rare Beauty was. Just buy them! You won't regret it!

Great tinted lip balm! 5

I love this lip balm. Its great for everyday!! The color is nice and not sticky!
Heavily scented 2
BrightEyedGal from St. Louis, MO
These feel great on the lips but the very sweet fragrance made me nauseous. I'm not at all sensitive to scents so I was surprised to find that. I thought the shade delightful would be a great MLBB shade for my cool toned lips but unfortunately it leans too purple for me.
