Quantity in pot: 6ml

Being a lip product junkie, I picked this lip balm up from Mac over more than a year ago. From the pictures you can see how much of it I have been able to finish as I do not use it regularly.

It is pretty ,it has spf ,is a lovely colour still it is not my hg because of the very pot it comes in which is cute to look it but is heavy and made of glass and needs a brush to apply.

This lip balm by Mac was first launched in the year 2007 with a basic set of four shades i.e.

  • Deep sigh
  • Hush hush
  • Take a hint
  • Pucker

This was later enhanced by adding more shades to the collection.

I would say I was rather disappointed by the sheerness of the product as I like my lip products to be pigmented .

In the jar, it looks likes a real pink.

Why Mac take a hint tendertone lip balm SPF 12 is good:

  • It’s a tinted lip conditioner with SPF 12.
  • Lip glosses with spf are hard to find.
  • In winters this acts like a messiah for my lips by giving them the required moisture and just a hint of colour.
  • The lip balm is not at all sticky but I would still say it is a winter lip balm as it can make the worst cracked lips come alive with colour and moisture.
  • It has a real good taste. Yum!
  • The smell is delightful raspberry like.
  • It’s very sheer. Pale lipped beauties who like just a little bit of sheerness and not much coverage will love this.
  • It makes my lips feel so soft and moisturised and instead of reaching for a lip balm every 30 minutes in winters I reach for this.
  • The name tender tone.
  • This colour particularly if applied in just the right amount works well enough even for pigmented lips like mine.
  • You can see in the picture how it lips on my heaving pigmented lips. As I know that is the concern with most of us Indian woman, a certain degree of pigmentation which we always like to even out.
  • Being Mac tendertone or its newer versions are still available at all Mac counters.
  • Best moisture content from a lip balm I have ever seen.
  • Mac DOES NOT test on animals.kissi :-*
  • Non sticky.

Why Mac take a Hint Tendertone Lip Balm SPF 12 is not so Good:

  • Firstly the price. I don’t know what I was thinking when I picked this for 20 $. I never will pay that much for a lip balm.
  • The colour is sheer and lovely but I personally need less of shimmer and more of colour.
  • The colour fades of in 2 hours or less.
  • The glass pot.
  • The fact that I have to use a brush every now and then and can’t dare put my finger in the pot as that is YIKES!
  • I don’t they are meant for average shoppers and while picking most of my products I keep that in mind because I am one of the ‘drugstore’ clan.
  • No strong tint as I said.
  • Staying in India and staying connected with IMBB, I think we all will across better and more affordable options than going and picking something like Mac take a hint tendertone lip balm spf 12 from Mac.

Rating of 3.5 on 5 .1.5 taken for the sheerness, not much stay and price.

Blessings all
