Love Me Tender with MAC Tendertones
Hey MAC lovers, if you liked MAC’s Strobe collection from earlier this year featuring the awesome tinted lip balms with SPF in them, you’re gonna like MAC Tendertones, out on counters now.
MAC is bringing these little potted lip balms with SPF 12 back for the summer in six new colors and four re-promoted shades. Since these are creamier than the tinted balms that come in a tube, you might like Tendertones if you prefer something that’s a little more emollient and longer lasting – these hot babies are made with shea butter in them!
While I like the color varieties of these lippies – there really is a shade in this bunch for everyone to wear on a daily basis, they’re pretty sheer upon application. The other thing is, if you know me, you know that I don’t like to stick my finger in it to use it. However, from the looks of the consistency, it’s pretty creamy and would probably be easier applied with a lip brush of sorts, especially if you’re a sanitation freak like I am when it comes to lip products.

I agree with you, these tendertones are really cute but I hate the packaging.

I am so glad they brought back the tendertones collection this summer. My favorite gloss is HushHush.

Hi Beautytalk,
Gah, I wish they’d stop making things in jars! LOL
How was your weekend? Did you have nice weather on the East coast? Yesterday was dreadful but today was much better – albeit a little windy

Hi Diana,
I think if I were to pick a color, I’d really like to get Take a Hint. I love iridescent golds!
Are you a MAC girl? What are some of your favorite products?
Hope you’re having a good one!

Yeah. You can say I’m a mac girl. My tabletop is full of mac cosmetics especially their eyeshadows. I’m a fan of their lustreglass too in Sinnamon.

Hi Diana,
I’m slowing building up my MAC collection – I like paint pots right now and their shadows are really soft and easy to work with. But my favorite, hands down, has got to be their lip glasses! I wish I could have every color!
