Besides Pokémon, there are few things I like to collect - color pens, designer notepads, handmade cards, self-help books and tinted lip balms! As much as I call myself a skincare junkie, I don't quite see myself collecting as much scented body lotions as I stash on tinted lip balms. And there is good reason - if a moisturizing must that adds color to your pout comes in less than INR 500, its pure sense to have them by handful. But with so many different options out there, how to know which ones to pick and which ones to give a miss?
So to help you sort out the best tinted lip balms for you, here is a list of top ten tinted lip balms in India that are easy on pocket, moisturizing on lips and excellent on color delivery.
