Since last fall, I'd gotten my hands on three more Canmake Stay-On Balm Rouge SPF11 in the colors 13 Milky Alyssum and 14 Poppy Bouquet from the regular lineup, and a Tint Type T04 Chocolate Lily.

I sure hope Canmake will never discontinue these. I had to remind myself several times to rotate the last ones out because I kept reaching for them over all the lippies in the tray. They're affordable, easy to use, available in pretty colors, and with damn decent quality for a drugstore product.
- 13 Milky Alyssum: translucent and shimmer free coral-red. Love!
- 14 Poppy Bouquet: translucent and shimmer free orange-red. More love!
- T04 Chocolate Lily: transparent plum-brown that leaves a faint mauve stain.

Ha, one of these (in color 9 - my favorite for fall) was in the giant batch of cosmetics I made my mother take home for me. I still have a somewhat melting 11 here that I'm hoping to use up this summer. These are so good, my only complaint is that my previous 9 melted in my bag.
Hi Julia,
Yeah they do melt with heat from the sun. Not sure about body temperature though. Whereas I do know those Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments ($24!!!) melt with body temperature. No sun needed.

I ordered milky alyssum and Poppy bouquet last week! Now I wandered if I should have gotten the tint one as well (the first three turned the same shade of hot pink on me). Btw I am a big-ish fan of fresh lip balm as they are the few winterproof lipstick I could wear... And I finished one full size and a mini.
As a chronic 35° person, I don't think I've ever personally melted a lipstick :D
Is it possible that my last comment on the Maquillage post didn't make it to you?
Hey Mina,
The T04 left a faint mauve stain on me, so let's hope it wouldn't pull hot pink or grandma-magenta on you ^.^"
Oh no doubt the Fresh lip treatments are fantastic. My gripes with them are that they're so overpriced and they melt with body temperature.
Cheers,

Hey Julia,
I was surprised too that I was able to melt a Fresh lip balm! It wasn't like I'd taken it into the sauna with me--I had it in the waist pocket of my wool jacket and I was in an air-conditioned hotel room!
Oh no! I did not get your last comment on the Maquillage post! I didn't hear back from you and thought the silence meant that you were letting me down gently ^.^ Please do resend!
Cheers,

I wouldn't just ghost you! Sorry, I tried to repost and hope it worked this time. >.<
Hey Julia,
It's ok to not answer every question. I wouldn't have taken it personally ^.^
Cheers,

I finally finished my canmake balm so I can buy another, haha. which to get...
I really like them - so easy!
Hi Claire,
So sorry for the super late reply. A bunch of blog comments got stuck in the moderation box and I had no idea they were until Citrine alerted me to her missing comments.
Which new canmake balm(s) did you end up getting?
Cheers,
D.
Hi! No worries; I figured you were busy or something.
I haven't gotten one yet; still scraping out the old one lol. T01 Little Anemone is on ny list though. I kinda want to declutter my other lippies first. Maybe next week :)
Hi!
Well, I'm both busy and incompetent for not realizing something's up until months later when someone else pointed it out to me >.<"
And you're so much more disciplined than I am. I've only had to scrape out Medieval so far because I carry it at all times and reach for it way more than all my other lippies!
How are you?
Cheers,
D.
