Looking for a dash of delicious color for your lips, yet dreading that annoying "sticky lips" feeling? You're in the clear. The fabulous people at M￭A￭C have just launched their summer line of Tendertone Lip Balms SPF 12, which are already emerging as one of this summer's absolute must-haves. They offer your lips a flavored summer treat, a stain-like tinted finish that comes with the double benefit of a nourishing lip balm and a shiny gloss.

"Silkier than gloss. More protective than naked. A lip color that combines soft shine, easy glide, and double-smooth satin finish with an everyday sun protective formula. To treat your lips... Love 'em tender", come the wise words of those who created this wondrous assortment of shades for the pure enjoyment of our lips. This M￭A￭C tinted lip balm offers built-in everyday SPF 12 sun protection to a smoothly satin, non-sticky texture, which provides a soft dose of color, enough to moisturize your lips and give them that color-drenched aura that complements a tanned, healthy summer glow on your face.

Tendertone Lip Balms moisturize and help improve the look of your lips all in one go and come with a pleasant scent and a light, strawberry-kiwi flavor to delight all your senses. The nuances range from a sheer pink tone of berry with red pearl (Pucker) to a hotter shade of soft cherry red (Hot N' Saucy) and several softer shades of grape brown with red pearl (Deep Sigh), sheer gold with yellow gold pearl (Hush, Hush), sheer peach with white pearl (Honey Bare) and a rosy blue pink with white and gold pearl (Take a Hint). There is also a lime green with yellow pearl shade (Tread Gently) that's almost completely transparent and goes well with heavier eye makeup. On the whole, an excellent combination of moisture and sheer color for an explosively fun summer.
