Burt’s Bees Lip shimmer
Its packaging proclaims Burt’s Bees Lip Balm as the world’s best. Personally, I feel that the title still goes to Kiehl’s Lip Balm No. 1 (at the time I started using Kiehl’s I had gone through several drugstore brands and despaired of even finding one that could stand up to my severely dry and chapped lips - this almost sounds like a blurb for an ad, but really true.)
Burt’s Bees balm comes pretty close to Kiehl’s in terms of efficacy and at a fraction of the price too (Php295.00 compared to about Php1,000 for Kiehl’s).
It’s ingredients include Vit. E, coco butter, rosemary and peppermint oil. The last lends a slight pleasant tingle to your lips. It smells pretty good without a cloying, overly artificial scent unlike other balms and lipsticks in the market.
Multi-use and all-natural lip tint
The best thing I discovered about it is it doubles really well as a cheek tint! Again, this product trumps similar items from other brands in the price department (think Body Shop lip & cheek tint at almost Php800 and Benefit Benetint). The texture and color tone is just right for smoothing over the cheeks to leave a very natural looking flush. Plus, the peppermint “tingle” serves as a good wake-me-up when the balm is applied to lips and cheeks in the morning.
As colors range from nude to pinks to deep reds (mine is called raisin and leaves a deep berry tint to the lips), it should suit almost any completion.
Burt’s Bees lip balm is a great beauty find for me - its a multitasking product that won’t break your bank account.
