Just a quick note to say hi, ladies. I fell behind this afternoon, but I still wanted to tell you about Yes to Carrots’ line of pigmented C Me Blush Lip Tints.
Sunset Pink
They cost a mere $4.50 each (that’s my mid-morning latte, yo!) but have a super smooth, buttery texture that makes ’em feel a lot more expensive than that.
Ready Red
Texture-wise they remind me of the $22 Guava lipsticks by Korres. That’s how slick and creamy they feel.
Chocolate Kiss
My favorite thing about them? — how pigmented they are (for lip tints). These puppies pack *lots* of color, applying with semi-sheer to medium coverage.
The resulting lip’s a casual look that I can see myself wearing a lot on weekends or to the gym.
Natural Smile
According to Yes to Carrots, a company known for organic beauty products, the ingredients are 95% natural. Scanning down the list, I see different organic plant oils, extracts, natural moisturizers (like Shea butter and beeswax) and very few unpronounceable chemicals, which is always nice. 🙂
Cotton Candy
I’m lovin’ that they don’t contain phenols or petroleum-based chemicals — compounds that, ironically, can actually dry lips. No need to worry about getting sucked into a cycle of lip balm dependency (I hate those).
Coral Sunshine
I mentioned that each of the six wearable shades run $4.50 apiece — already a great deal — but I’ve also seem them sold in three-packs for around $5. I think at that price (what’s that, like $1.67 each?!) they’re a flat-out steal.
Not exactly the easiest products to track down online, but I know my local Tar-ghay carries ’em, so check your store for availability. Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: A+
What do you think of these colors? Do any catch your eye?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Oh GIRL. I’m getting these tomorrow. I love tinted lip balms, cuz I’m lazy as hell lately. Alma Organics, Burt’s, Neutrogena’s discontinued liptints (grrr), I digs you all. Thanks for the tip!
Hi Heyhey,
Sure thing. I’ve been super lazy in the lip department and these do the trick nicely. I hope you love ’em.
Oh wow that’s a good deal, I think my Target has this too but I sorta ignored it haha..
Hi Patti,
If you see ’em at Tar-ghay you gotta try ’em! They’re pretty awesome.
ohhh these look so pretty on you! i will have to check them out. do they have a scent/flavor at all?
Hi Jess,
They have a light peppermint scent and flavor — it goes away fast after application!
Wow! Good deal much? What color would look good on small thin lips, normally pale skin (just sunless tanned), and blonde hair?
Hi Sarah,
I’d go with a lighter or nude shade — probably Sunset Pink or Cotton Candy. 🙂
Wow, they look so pretty! I’ll have to hunt them down.
It even looks super creamy on your lips. 🙂
Which color do you like the most?
.-= Maggie’s last blog post… Drumroll please… =-.
Hi Maggie,
I love Sunset Pink! It’s the perfect nude!
I love the first two, but do I really need another red and another pink? I have a sheer, a matte, a creamy one…for the few times I wear red, I sure have a lot of red lippies. It’s like pink lipgloss with me–I can never have too few. I don’t think I actually own a berry or anything that isn’t pink, pinkey-beige, clear or nude. I own one nude, I think.
Do these smell and taste that funky overly-fake mint scent/flavor (or any scent/flavor for that matter) like other Say Yes to Carrots stuff? There is nothing my brain hates more than fake mint smell.
Hi Kate & Zena,
It has a light peppermint scent and taste that disappears quickly.
wow pretty, oh yeah how to snap picture of lips so sexy?

Hi Sherry,
I take about a billion pictures. One eventually comes out right. 🙂
Wow these are impressive! So tempting and so affordable!
.-= Kajal Couture’s last blog post… Giveaway!!!! – The Sweet 15 Kit =-.
Hi Kajal Couture,
They’re a nice drugstore pick me up. You gotta try one!
I got the coral sunshine, cotton candy, sunset pink pack, and I LOVE THESE BABIES! They are amazing, and they were on sale 🙂
I say hell yes to carrots!
I like only the Natural Smile shade, the others are not on my taste. I’m not so crazy about carrots:)
.-= Tavia’s last blog post… 10 Gold Rules to prevent wrinkles apparition =-.
Hi Tavia,
Funny thing is, they don’t smell or taste anything like carrots! They’re actually lightly minty.
I love these too! I have the 3 pack, but my Target doesn’t sell them individually. Ready Red and Chocolate Kiss look awesome. Hopefully I’ll come across them soon.
.-= Tammy’s last blog post… Tarte Friends & Fam Sale =-.
Hi Tammy,
Chocolate Kiss is one of my faves! I hope you give it a go.
I like Ready Red, Chocolate Kiss and Coral Sunshine. I would love to get those if only we had them here 🙁
Hi Marina,
I dunno if they’ll ever go international… hopefully they will!
I like Sunset Pink, Ready Red and Coral Sunshine – I only wish they were available here 🙁
.-= Paris B’s last blog post… How to treat pigmentation after going out in the sun =-.
Hi Paris B.,
That’s too bad — hey, I bet you guys have a few awesome drugstore brands that we can’t get here, though!
The colours look amazing! Unfortunately they’re not widely available in UK yet. 🙁
.-= Music’s last blog post… Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil =-.
Hi Music,
Hopefully they’ll be available soon so you can try ’em.
Have you played with anything else from the line? The few skin care items I’ve tried are really nice.
Our Walgreens carries this line. If you have them, some of you may want to check there.
Hi Monica,
I’ve seen it at Walgreens, too. The 3-packs there are hit or miss.
Walgreens ROCKS, btw! It’s like my home away from home. 🙂
Oooh, I will have to try to hunt down the 3-pack, that is a bargain! Happy Tuesday, Karen!
Hi Tiffany,
Yeah, the 3-Pack is an awesome bargain. I love the butterfly design on the front, too.
How’s your day going so far?
These look adorable! Totally interested. 😀
.-= Catherine’s last blog post… NOTW – Zoya Sylvie Gradient w/ Gems & Glitter =-.
Sarah,
Any of the tints would look great on you, except Natural Smile and Chocolate Kiss – they may wash you out. The best would be Sunset Pink for day and Ready Red for a more dramatic look. 🙂
Hope I helped!
– Redhead
They look great! My husband is a real fan of the yes to carrots products. He loves the fragrance of the shampoo!
Wow these are nice.
Sunset Pink, Reddy Red, and Cotton Candy catch my eye the most! I’m going to have to hunt for these…anyone seen them in person and would share which drugstore they were at?
.-= meg’s last blog post… Sunday Haul =-.
I love their lip balm already, so this is an easy jump for me! The best part is with tints you don’t have to worry about needing a mirror, just slap it on and go. 🙂
.-= Trude’s last blog post… A Little Slice of Happiness =-.
I went to Target this morning after reading your post. I got the three-pack for 5 dollars! I swear, the best 5 dollars I’ve ever spent! The pack had Cotton Candy, Sunset Pink, and Coral Sunshine. I just love them! Thanks Karen!
Hi Karen!
Thank you so much for posting about natural makeup products. I am on a mission to go all natural and it has not been easy. I’ve been looking for lipcolor without petrochemicals and these sound perfect! And you can’t beat that price. I am actually going to Target later today so hopefully I’ll find these. 🙂
ooo, hopefully i’ll be able to find these at target!!
OOH! Thanks for opening my eyes to these great products! I definitely want to give Chocolate Kiss a try. 🙂
.-= Smiley’s last blog post… Recent Favorites =-.
I love these because they’re quite moisturizing for tinted balms!
=O I want to try them!! Now only to find a place that carries them…
.-= Natgn’s last blog post… Room Tour + Beauty Cabinet + Skincare & Makeup Stash =-.
Love Chocolate Kiss!
Karen, I had to go out and buy these just because of this post. Unfortunately I was only able to find the three pack so I’ll probably be ordering chocolate kiss and natural smile online.
They are on sale at my target for $1.12 !
I just bought Sunset Pink. I don’t quite see the effect yet because it’s night time but maybe I will see it better tomorrow. I love your pictures!
OMG sooo going to get these the first 3 are beautiful!! thanks for the tip never considered them before!!!!!
Wow, I love these! Are they available at all in the UK now?
these are now available in the uk at feelunique etc online, thanks for the swatches.. is there anywhere to get the 3 pack in the uk as we dont have target?
