Review: Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers

I love these! For the most part, other than the lip balm and these lip shimmers, I've always found Burt's Bee's products to fall short on performance. I love that they are natural, but they don't always perform well.

I adore their original lip balm because it has enough bee's wax to stick to your lips longer, the buzz of peppermint, and it is slick enough not to be like Chap Stick brand (like rubbing a candle on your mouth). I have a tube next to the computer, next to my reading chair, in my purse, next to my bed and in with the rest of my make-up.

Then enter the Lip Shimmers. These take the best of all worlds: Natural Ingredients, great colors, lip balm protection, and they live up to performance levels. They don't tend to last long on your lips, but that doesn't' usually bother me. I collected almost every color but eventually found I was using primarily one or two. My fave colors? Nutmeg works for every day and compliments my skin tone without looking much like I'm wearing lipstick. Cocoa is a bit more dramatic plum-brown and I like it too when I want a more dramatic statement. I ended up throwing the others away. So if you can find a sample color kit of these to find your right color, it might be worth it. One tube of a great color will be all you'll need.

It goes on smooth and slick and has highlights and a little gloss, some have SPF protection, feels great and won't give you cancer! What's not to love about that?
