Most tinted lip balms are just way too sheer to show up on my lips!!

I'm looking for something to give my lips a bright, fresh, but natural-looking pop of pink--preferably a raspberry pink or a medium plummy-pink color. I don't like shimmer, sparkle, etc. and shininess is optional (a slight sheen is good, but I don't want major glossiness in this product).

I don't like the feel, color, or smell of Dr. Pepper Lipsmackers...I have another Holiday Edition Lipsmackers called Plum something which smells amazing and has a great pink tint but is too sheer

For reference I am Asian, light/medium, 15 years old.

Thanks in advance

Mark has something called Glossblossom, it's a gloss, but it goes on clear and then turns pink. Apperently it's really nice and it's only like 5 bucks or something.

 
Smith's Rosebud Salve gives my lips a hint of color. Also try MAC's Tinted Lip Conditioners.

Burts's Bees Lip Shimmer's are my favorite tinted lip balms in the universe and I have some very pigmented lips. They're sheer but not too sheer. Some shades are shimmery, most are not! Best of all they're only $3.25-3.69 depending on where you go. Walgreens and CVS have a liberal return policy so if you don't like them just return them. Here's the Burt's Bees site description of the product:

WHY THEY WORK: We added a kiss of color and pearlized shine to our world famous lip balm. They’re made from natural ingredients like vitamin E, coconut and sunflower oils to moisturize and highlight your lips. They come now in eleven yummy shades. Perfect for everyone, except the indecisive.

HOW THEY WORK: Apply shimmer to lips as often as needed or desired. It's good for you. Eat it off. Kiss it off. Talk it off. Re-apply.

NEW SHADE! Cocoa - Delicate brown, with a reddish tone.

NEW SHADE! Guava - Softly shimmering, pale pink.

NEW SHADE! Papaya - Rich, burnt orange.

NEW SHADE! Toffee - Softly neutral taupe.

Champagne - A pearlized, shimmering silver.

Coffee - A rich, roasted brown.

Merlot - A luscious, deep burgundy.

Nutmeg - A sparkling, golden bronze.

Raisin - A luxurious, earthy red.

Rhubarb - a warm, golden pink.

Watermelon - A juicy, silver pink

Hope I helped!

Neutrogena or Kiehl LipBalm--Kiehl's is my favorite. It comes in two shades, one a deep rasberry pink, the other more of a red pink, and is incredibly hydrating as well.

 
Avon also a a few tinted lip balms for under 2 bucks each. You can get them on sale pretty often for .79 cents.

I second the Burt's Bees tinted balms, (imagine that LOL), they are awesome.

Mark and Avon do have some decently priced tinted lip balms that are nice. Glossblossom is a big seller.

Try DuWops Lip Venom in a package called "3 Little Stars" Love the Red one - it looks very natural.
