Lip Balm Obsessed: A Review

I'll be reviewing Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm in original today.

I currently own four lip balms. I bought Nivea Kiss of Smoothness Hydrating Lip Care with SPF 4. It is horrible. I don't like the smell, I don't like how it feels (like hard Vaseline), and I don't like that it doesn't do ANYTHING. So, I'm not reviewing that one in detail. I'm just informing you and tossing it.


Look at how much I used though... dang. I had to make SURE.



The third balm I have is regular old cherry Chapstick. My Hubbins bought it for me when I was sick. It lives in the medicine basket in the bathroom now.


Burt's Bees
Beeswax Lip Balm
with Vitamin E & Peppermint
100% Natural
$2.97 at Winco


I purchased this because as someone who is obsessed with lip balms it was a crime that I still hadn't bought a SINGLE Burt's Bees product. I saw it on sale (they are normally $3.30. Yeah.. I couldn't pass up THAT big of a sale lol) and picked it up because I was looking for something to make my lips soft.

It is tingley (I think because of the peppermint) on my lips. I love the peppermint smell even though I'm not that into all of those peppermint, spearmint, and what have you.

It has no taste. Zero taste which is a plus in my book. Its balm. It will stay in my purse in the emergency pocket (click here to see what that is) until it is needed.

I wish that it made my lips SOFT. They weren't chapped or hurting but they were a little rough.

I didn't like the FEEL of it. You know when you are outside in the blistering cold and you pull out COLD balm to put on and it is like trying to smear cold butter on soft toast. This is like that even when WARM. Its gummy and kind of weird. I can't rub my lips together smoothly.

That being said I'm IN LOVE with the peppermint tingle.

So, I went out and purchased a second (I told you I'm crazy for balms) Burt's Bees lip balm. This time It is Burt's Bees Revitalizing Lip Balm with Blueberry & Dark Chocolate. Click HERE for that review!

Thank you so much for following along!
