The Worst No. 7: Juice Beauty SPF 15 Tinted Lip Moisturizers, $15
TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 6.5*
Why: According to readers, there is "no wow factor" when it comes to this product, which is the "equivalent to drinking red wine and getting your lips stained." One woman is upset by the surface of the product, which "has a rough, dotted-looking texture." Readers say the tints "do not show up on lips, and don't last long" in addition to the fact that it "feels like cheap generic Chapstick" but "not as hydrating."

I just wonder why someone is using lip balm thirty times a day. It sounds like they could be dehydrated and needs to drink more water. I noticed that when my lips get dry and turn white is because I haven't had enough water.

Watching out for the worst ones and being sure to get the good ones sometimes soon!

I'm not a fan of lip balm though I do have about 3. I go for the lip gloss wand from Bonne Bell. They have a good selection at the right store to get what you want and on sale-it is worth it to try different types which they have in the lip balm.

Good comprehensive reviews. I like to prep my lips with Bite Whipped Cherry Fruit Scrub. It makes virtually any lip balm work like a charm!

Great list. I also like Smith's Rosebud Salve (which i think is better than CO Bigelow) and the regular Chapstick. Nice to see Bonne Bell Lip Smackers make the list, whoo hoo!!!

Hey Girls! Some really interesting info on here. Thought you peeps would like Lipice Pink Sheen Gloss, I just love this stuff. It goes on smooth and makes your lips feel amazing. Like with most lip balms you don't have to reapply this every 5 minutes and you see a difference with the condition of your lips. Mine used to be very chapped and would sometimes crack, but now they are smooth and hydrated. Really great stuff! Should also add I just love the taste.
