I really love this lip balm. Before I started using it I was using Blistex Medicated. I liked the medicinal feel of the Blistex. However, I was always have to reappy it, and it really didn't make my lips feel healthy. The Burt's Bees lip balm is wonderful. It doesn't have a medicinal feel. Instead, it is soothing, provides the necessary moisture needed, and makes my lips feel healthier. I am in love with this product now. I plan on buying many more to keep around the house so I don't have to use the regular lip balms anymore.
I admit it. I am a lip balm junkie. I cannot live without one and I use it several times a day. I have tried a ridiculous amount of lip balms and this one might be the best of the lot. It's not greasy, does a great job and I love the tingling sensation! Of course if you hate peppermint, stay away from it!
I love Burt's Bees lip balm. It moisturizes fabulously and really dries my chapped lips. I live in Central IL and the winters get so dry and nasty. The wind really does a number on my lips as well as my son's. We both use the product and it works great. The one thing I do not like about it is the initial sticky, waxy feeling it leaves when you first apply.
This lip gloss comes off quickly in comparison to other Burt's Bees products, but doesn't sting your lips. I would recommend it to anyone who carries a small bag or wallet places.
Burt's Bees lip balm is pretty good stuff. It's made of beeswax, which I think is pretty cool. It works pretty effectively on chapped lips, and the pepperminty flavor is pretty nice. At around $3 it's a little bit on the expensive side, but you can get twice as much of it in a tin for the same price. According to Burt's Bees, it's 95.29% natural. Now that's precise!
I try to use natural products on my body because your skin absorbs so much of what you put onto it. I like that this is a natural product, it smells nice, and it works well. I have the lip balm in the tin right now (see note below), and the peppermint burns a little. I don't remember if that was an issue with the stick version.
NOTE I- Read the ingredients! I looked at a few of the different lip balms, and I personally would only want to buy the plain types. The honey one has "flavor" in it, the pomegranate one has "fragrance" and carmine (which comes from boiling a certain type of insect)- so it is not vegetarian.
NOTE II- It's a much better deal to buy it in the tin rather than in the stick- when I bought mine, it was the same price for twice as much. The ingredients are slightly different in the tin. The tin is also takes a tiny bit more effort to get open than the stick.
I really do have one in pretty much every bag I've got. And one in my car too. If you leave one in your car, I would recommend the tube though because I've ended up with tins I can't open. Whoops. That's really my fault I guess...
But I digress. My little sister has tried the honey kind but it's a little too sweet for me (and I think the bottom of it gets pretty sugary). But the straight up beeswax is great. For every day use (and when skiing), I'm a fan.
I love Burt's Bee's products all around, but I know this one works well! I also have lip balms in abundance, in the car, 3 in my purse (for variety...gotta have it) and 1 in the bedroom for those luscious lip locks! I find Burt's Bee's Lip Balm is not greasy, it absorbs well and protects your lips for quite a while until you need to re-apply. I love it and use it often!
Although I have found alternative products to use since Burt's Bee's sold out to Clorox I would still recommend it if your lips are in some serious need of natural moisture.
I really want to like this lip balm - it has a great scent/flavor and it's made by a reputable company (though now owned by -- eek!). It doesn't seem to work that well - it has to be really warm for it to glide and it doesn't really moisturize - it just kind of sits there.
Perhaps it works as a barrier in extreme cold or wet conditions -- but for general day to day lip softening, I'll stick with cacao butter, coconut butter and olive oil.
We have been pretty much exclusively using Burt's Bees lip balm for a while now. Is more expensive than "Chap Stick", and melts in cars just the same... so be cautious with that. Anyway, whole family likes it and we've spread the word and friends like it also :-) There are different kinds of balm by Burt's Bees - the lifeguard kind is kinda white on your lips. They are all great!
Okay, this is the absolute best lip balm on the market. Bar none. I've literally tried every single brand (from the traditional Chapstick to Carmex to fancy lip balms in tins), and this is the best. It's just the right amount of mintiness, really stays on the lips to keep them moist, and lasts forever. I always have at least two tubes that I switch among my purses. I literally don't go anywhere without it. It only gets four stars for value just because it is pretty expensive, but it's worth it -- I love this product.
No complaints, works well as a chapstick
... and I've had my share of lip balms. :) Tastes good, too. I got the Replenishing Lip Balm with pomegranate oil, but I'm sure all other variations are great as well.
I love this stuff. I have one in every bag I own. Alot of times lip balm leaves a gross aftertaste and this doesn't at all. The best part is that I only have to use it once a day, it lasts forever. I just wish it had an SPF factor involved.
This is the best brand of lip balm I have tried...EVER. And, as many below, I am somewhat of a connoisseur of chapstick/lip balm. I've owned the original kind as well as the lifeguard one (which does have SPF in it - not sure how much - but it doesn't quite do the moisture thing as well. And, it leaves a white coating on your lips. I'm not a fan of that one.) and also the honey variety.I think there was also a raspberry one that I had in a one of those little glass jars.
My boyfriend is not a huge fan of the minty tingle (I am!!) and he prefers the honey kind. I had a honey stick once and mine was not very smooth - kind of like the sugar had crystallized or something weird, but his is very effective and smooth and now I use it interchangeably with the original peppermint kind. We have them in every corner of the apartment and in a handful of my bags/purses.
Great chapstick. Go Burt!
I love this chapstick. I cannot go without it. I will never go back to any other chapstick again!
