MAC Is Releasing Rad Color-Changing Lip Balms

by Rosie Narasaki

Oh, MAC. Will you never cease to amaze? The ever-popular beauty brand is bringing some amazing new products to the table this summer — including a mood-changing lip conditioner. So, first things first, just how can you buy MAC's new color-changing Tendertalk lip balms?

Luckily for us, they'll be available soon — and they should be pretty easy to get your hands on, seeing as they'll be shoppable across many platforms. Starting on June 2, the Tendertalk lip balms will be available online, and a week later on the June 9 they'll be in MAC stores (as well as various department store counters) too.

They're a little on the pricey side for a balm, at $20 a pop — but I think the fact that they change colors makes them worth it. Speaking of which, there are five different gorgeous shades, all of which adjust based on your pH levels for a customized color. At any rate, it will be difficult to choose between the five shades — they come in Candy Wrapped (sheer pink), Pretty Me Up (sheer coral), Play With Me (sheer red), Teddy Pink (sheer bright pink), and Side Dish (sheer plum) — so if you're so inclined, you can own the whole set for a cool $100. Take a look.

Pretty darn awesome, right? How do you think the new Mac Tendertalk balms will stack up with other color-changing lip products? Will they reach cult status like Dior Lip Glow and Smashbox O-Glow Gloss? Become a kooky makeup bag staple like Lipstick Queen's gorgeously green-to-raspberry Frog Prince?

Only time will tell, but things are certainly looking promising for the Tendertalks — between the gorgeous packaging and the '90s throwback vibes, they'll definitely be worth checking out this summer.
