My review:
I've had a long history with Burt's Bees products. For the longest time, I used their pepperminty lip balm as my primary lip balm. I think I went through five of those before I decided to switch things up and started trying out different brands. Now, I've gone back to using Burt's Bees again after their tinted lip balms caught my eye at Sears.Why? They come in these huge tubes that make it seem like you're getting a large stick, but it's really just the same size as their normal lip balms.

The color of the tube is kind of... intimidating. It's a deep red color and a lot darker than what actually goes on your lips.


Before

After



This balm goes on really nice and smoothly. It's definitely a balm in that it moisturizes super well. The color is light, but nice and subtle, plus it looks very natural. If you're looking for pure color, go with a lipstick; all tinted lip balms tend to be lighter than lipstick. That being said, I will stick to this for everyday wear. My lips are naturally dry, so wearing lipstick just dries them out more. :/ Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm is great for natural color while keeping your lips nice and moisturized. Also a big plus... They are 100% natural!
