This product was a gift for me from the brand last Christmas. It's been a while since I was able to use a Burt's Bees lip balm again. I've been busy trying to finish the lip balms that I already have that is why I haven't been buying lip balms. But if I were going to buy one, one brand I'd certainly consider getting is Burt's Bees. I like that this brand is 100% natural!

Lucky me that I was able to receive some products from Burt's Bees and I'm happy that I'll be able to try products from them that I haven't tried before. One of them is this lip balm.

This product has a net weight of 0.15oz and this smells really good! It has this mild fruity scent that is very pleasant for me. It also a mild taste but I can barely describe it... I guess it's fruity too although I'm not a fan. Good thing I don't have a habit of licking my lips.

The texture is buttery smooth and not thick and waxy which I hate when it comes to balms. And just look at that swatch! It's like a layer of moisture-goodness! The formula is just great if you're looking for hydration for your lips.


On the lips, I look like I have lipgloss on! It gives a "barely there" pink tone that makes your lips appear healthier and glossy smooth! The color is too subtle to affect the lipstick you're using. But if you want to wear a matte lipstick on top of the balm, I suggest you blot your lips first after you apply the balm then you can apply the lipstick. :) That can help your lips stay hydrated because... well, matte lipsticks have a tendency to dry them up!

I use this daily and I just love pressing my lips together when I have this on because they are just so soft and smooth. Thanks to the 100% natural ingredients, I didn't encounter any irritations and this certainly helped me prevent having chapped lips during this cool weather in the Philippines. I just love it!

What's lip balm do you currently use? Which one is your favorite?


Cheers,
DAWN

  2. Gorgeous! I really love slightly sheerly tinted balms! I always have at least 4-6 clear lip balms open at the same time! My lips get chapped very easily! I've yet to try burts bees lip products but really want to!
