Tinted lip balms are supposed to be the easy option, yet plenty manage to create entirely new problems. Some deliver approximately three molecules of pigment. Others feel like cooking oil with a cap. Add “plumping” to the label and suddenly your lips are somehow freezing and on fire at the same time? If you know, you know.
That is what makes the Lawless Forget the Filler Lip-Plumping Line-Smoothing Tinted Lip Balm worth a look during Sephora’s Major Summer Deals sale. The balm is currently 50% off, dropping from $26 to $13, and the available shades are disappearing quickly. It comes from the same Forget the Filler family as the brand’s viral plumping gloss, only in an easy, mirror-free stick.

Lawless Forget the Filler Lip-Plumping Line-Smoothing Tinted Lip Balm
Shade: Whisper, a pinky nude
The formula gives lips a noticeable wash of color rather than the blink-and-you-missed-it tint common in this category. One Posey shopper called the rosy mauve “perfect for everyday,” saying it makes lips look “plump and fresh” while adding both color and moisture. Rosehip oil, shea butter and jojoba oil help explain that comfortable finish by supporting the moisture barrier and softening dry texture.
Whisper is the pinky nude for anyone who wants something closer to an everyday lipstick. A reviewer praised its “perfect color and texture,” describing the formula as “balmy, not oily” with subtle plumping and “no burning at all.” They added, “This is the kind of product I keep back ups of,” which feels especially relevant during a 50%-off Sephora beauty deal.

Shade: Cherry Vanilla, a sheery cherry
The plumping comes from Maxi-Lip, a peptide-based ingredient complex intended to improve hydration and make lips look smoother and fuller over time. The brand cites an independent study on that ingredient, not the finished balm, so think softening and a more cushioned appearance rather than instant inflatable lips. A fan of the shade Cherry Vanilla said the sheer red felt “smooth and light,” lasted well and left them noticing “an improvement in fullness and retained moisture.”
Other shades available at publication include pearly mauve-pink Candy Girl, translucent Pink Marshmallow and warm truffle Amaretto. Candy Girl earned praise from one pale-skinned reviewer who said it “works with everything,” whether or not they had picked up a little sun.

Tinted balm is a crowded category, but $13 is a much easier time to see whether Lawless has solved its most annoying problems. This particular sale ends on June 23, but chances are, the shade you want will join the sold-out pile long before then — so grab them while you can!
