COOLA Organic Tinted Lip Balm & Mineral Sunscreen with SPF 30, Dermatologist Tested Lip Care for Daily Protection, Vegan, 0.15 Oz

This tinted sunscreen lipstick works really well and stays on for a long time even after drinking or eating. It’s also water resistant 80 minutes. I’ve had it for over a month now and was waiting to use it more before writing a review. When i first got it it didn’t spread as easily as it does now, also the color was not as vibrant as it is now. I’d recommend to use it several times before deciding if keeping or not bc in my case it applies better now than when I first got it brand new. It leaves a creamy feeling on the lips and it’s lightweight too. The color is light which I like and looks natural, I’m not a fan of flashy colors. There’s cheaper options in the market like sunbum tinted lipstick which I’ve had in the past, but i can say with certainty this one has better consistency and overall more quality. Also the fact that is a mineral sunscreen is a plus, bc most of the sunscreens out there use chemicals like Avobenzone, Octisalate, Octocrylene. Overall pretty good tinted sunscreen stick for the price. I will probably buy more in the future, but so far this one is working well and after several applications theres still a good amount remaining.

it's exactly what I"ve been looking for, a lipstick that uses zinc for sunscreen and doesn't look too pasty. And, even better, there is no bad taste or smell. I find the firecracker color to be quite saturated in color, though I see that others who have reviewed it find it too transparent, but for me it is a nice color and fairly intense. I even bought the next shade down, summer crush, because I don't want this much color all the time. And Summer Crush is perfect for my everyday color, more subtle. It feels a bit gritty going on, but then sort of melts and feels fine after a few minutes. I can see that it may dry out the lips if worn constantly, but I use other products with beeswax and coconut oil on my lips at night to re moisturize.

I am a HUGE Coola fan! I love the original! I still use it and keep one in my purse, on my bedside table and I take it everywhere. I was so excited that it's tinted! But damn, was I so disappointed! I ordered the Skinny Dip. The texture is horrible. It's gritty and the smell is not pleasant at all. I also didn't like the color but I guess it depends on your natural lip color. Mine are a pale pink and this color made them look beigy/white. Not a good look! But so disappointed in the texture! The original goes on so smooth but this...this is gross.

It's okay for the price. No idea why I was expecting something like Fresh's hydrating tinted Balm in Coco or Honey, lol. It's a very flat color, not matte, but almost looks it. Doesn't feel like matte balm though. Kind of doesn't hardly feel like balm in general, but zinc does that to products. Probably why the color is flat too. Would probably settle into dry lips in an unflattering way, the way matte colors do- mainly just because the color is flat. Very faint scent that isn't like parfum-ey or faux berry or vanilla or anything else obnoxious, which I greatly appreciate. I don't like feeling like a tween putting balm on. I really wanted the color science one,but it was very expensive. Also considered the almay. Don't like tubed messy products.. much prefer tubes, but not super generic ones. After Fresh Balm... I kind of can't go back lol Outer tube/cap is metal. Inner is plastic. Tube is not at all heavy.

This product is OK. I've been using it for over a month now, and here are my thoughts: Pros: Sun protection, nice buildable color, doesn't smell or taste bad, doesn't give my sensitive lips a rash like so many other tinted lip products do. Cons: Very drying on its own (need to apply petrolatum to lips before applying this), feels like a gross paste on my lips after awhile and starts to come off at the wetline, so after a few hours I need to remove ALL of it and reapply. Would I buy it again? Yes, until I find something better.

If your main concern is getting a mineral spf protection that doesn’t leave a white cast this is a good option. If you are looking for something moisturizing or for color (I only tried nude beach) this is probably not the best. I specifically wanted something mineral only since I’m breastfeeding even though I’ve read the amount of chemical sunscreen that has been detected in breast milk is not enough to harm the baby. Alone, it’s really drying, but worked well over my regular lip balm. The smell reminds me of caramel coffee grounds, but was unnoticeable after a while. No taste. I would definitely but again and try out their other colors.

I’ve now bought two different colors, which ended up being completely different textures and scents as well. I hate one and love the other. I see why there are so many competing reviews. My Nude Beach is super gritty and dry and sinks into and sticks onto every line and rough part of my lip. I hate it but wore it regardless for sun protection (noone is getting close enough to see during the pandemic anyways!). The scent was mild, basically just smelled like raw coco butter. The color was more orange than I expected so I decided to try a different color. So I bought Summer Crush and I LOVE it. The texture is smooth and moisturizing, the scent is kind of like menthol or eucalyptus, and the color is perfect for me. Do not trust the advertised photos of the colors, tho it’s not as if Coola really makes much of an effort to represent them, they are still totally inaccurate and confusing. Speculation - Maybe the different colors have different textures? Or maybe each batch is just totally inconsistent, I don’t know. I’m embarrassed for the company for doing such a terrible job with the inconsistency of their products and their serious lack of accurately representing the colors.

I do not wear lipstick most of the time because I can't stand it and a lot of the colors don't work for me. Then I got skin cancer on my lip and this product was recommended by a friend. I am very pleasantly surprised!! The color is lovely. It does not leave marks on a drinking glass or mug, and it does not dry out my lips. I also need the UV protection! I finally found a lipstick I will actually wear.
