I have been hoping that Tower 28 would offer this shade again @bakeamuffin. I added it to my cart. Off to look at the current promotional items.

The Tower 28 Beauty SunnyDays SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen Foundation Really impressed me - the test samples came in colors that I was able to mix to get pretty much a perfect shade for my olive tone skin, and using just a bit over the recommended amount you need for the SPF 30 protection looks amazing on the face and neck.
Excited for people who normally have a hard time getting olive tone match with tinted products that offer fewer shade options to be pleasantly surprised with how wearable this is!

@CattyT3 Thanks for sharing your thoughts!! It’s so great that you were able to mix colours and get a shade match!
I am yet to try this one, it’s been off the Canadian site for some time but as soon as it’s back I’m ordering! It sounds really great 😊

[CattyT3]

Hope you enjoy it once it restocks, it's a very nice creamy looking and feeling product.

@bakeamuffin I'm hoping they get more shades in of Tower 28 Beauty JuiceBalm Vegan Tinted Lip Balm .  I bought Drink during the sale and while Iiked it, it was brighter/more pigmented than I thought.   Would love some pinks and mauves...just not sheer. 

[bakeamuffin]

I am hoping for the same @greeneyedgirl107 ! Their glosses have such a great range of colours, I look forward to the potential of bringing those shades over to the Juicy Balm formula! 

[CattyT3]

Wow just took a look at how Drink looks on darker lips + skin tones in their provided pictures - it looks so pretty. It definitely packs more punch than most lip balms I see images for. I actually seek out balms with a lot of pigment payoff which is so hard to find, but I can see why it's just a preference of whether you want that very visible pigment in a balm or not.
Might make me be disloyal to the CLINIQUE Almost Lipstick 👀

@CattyT3 what pigmented lip balms do u like?

[CattyT3]

I found success in the Sephora lip balm set earlier this year - up to now whenever I looked into balms I always saw the color payoff on people of my skin tone or darker was just absolutely terrible, and figured it was just not a product type I could dabble in. But happy to report I am proven wrong now:

I was really impressed with the Charlotte Tilbury Hyaluronic Happikiss Lipstick Balm Pillowtalk formula and color payoff - I've never seen my lips look that smooth with a lip product on before. It settles into an only mildly sticky texture within a minute or 2 for me. I think it has the look of a gloss-balm hybrid look. I want to try the Yves Saint Laurent Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick 3 Cacao No Boundary to see if I can get that same finish/ even juicier finish as I really do not like the CT packaging (like several reviewers on the product).

I also really liked the NARS Afterglow Lip Balm - Laguna Collection Laguna - I actually thought this was going to go on clear when I saw it at first, but it does have a noticeable golden brown tint on my already brownish lips, so I was really happy that I was seeing a wash of pigment that was that true "you lips but better" look that lasted a long time and felt so comfortable on my lips - and kept my skin well protected in harsh subzero winter storm weather I had to walk through daily to get to work.

I haven't used this but I gifted and saw the results of the Dior Dior Addict Lip Glow 20 Mahogany paired with the Dior Lip Glow Oil 20 Mahogany and the color payoff with the juicy and plump looking bright brown glow it gives to the lips has me wanting the balm too.

Until these balms I used got in my hands, I was actually mixing a couple of very full on pigmented glosses I got by mistake with a clear lip balm to get the gloss-balm look. I was miserably failing because of how patchy it looked - and I just don't do well with the lip gloss texture and I hate reapplying a lip product more than once a day, so it was just a struggle trying to not waste them both.
I am happy Tower 28 now has come out with this balm and the lip & cheek tints too, I feel like they could layer really nicely as well if you want to start with the tints and top up with the balm while out and about.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CattyT3 thanks for the recs!  I'll be looking into all of them.

[CattyT3]

Hope it works out for you - I will say I did see comments about how the Nars lip balm in the lighter pink shades do not have good color payoff - but the darker shades and Laguna have better reviews.

 It looks like Tower 28 is set to launch a new product in their SOS line! This promo is available for the SOS Daily Barrier Recovery Cream in a trial size; they don’t have anything on their social about this and wouldn’t tell me any details when I reached out to inquire but this is exciting none the less, I wonder when the launch date will be! 🛟 🆘 

[JoSometimes]

Interesting… thanks for sharing @bakeamuffin!

[bakeamuffin]

@JoSometimes @CattyT3 I placed an order so I could try this cream before it launches, I love the anticipation! Their other SOS products work so well for my skin so I am over the moon 🌙 about the potential from this moisturizer 😍 @TeamBIC any insights on this cream and its launch date? 🛟 🆘 

[DaneeBT]

@bakeamuffin It is coming soon! 🙂 

[CattyT3]

Please do let us know here how it is once you try it.

[CattyT3]

So excited - I didn't even realize this was a new product when I looked at the new offers in this week as I thought it was a sample of the SOS serum!

[bakeamuffin]

I need to go ahead and place a Sephora order that I’ve been sleeping on, especially since the Tower 28 Beauty OneLiner Lip Liner + Eyeliner + Cheek Pencil launched today!
