Burt's Bees Peony Lip Shimmer, 100% Natural Origin, Peppermint Oil

I don’t usually use lipstick as I like a very natural look, but recently I have decided I would like to find something to make my lips look plumper and more vibrant. I love Burts bees brand and I am really glad I have come across this product. It is a small lip balm type sheer lipstick with a subtle colour and shimmer effect. I have gone for a strawberry shade and it is a medium pink colour - not too bright and not too pale. For my own information I prefer less pink and more natural, so I probably need to try rhubarb, peony or caramel. It has a minty feel, so it tingles slightly for 5-10 minutes after application. If you don’t like mint or the tingling then you won’t like this product. Note it is only 2.6 grams, so about half the size of a normal lipstick/ lip balm, however I think I will still get plenty of use out of it and I’m happy with the price of £3.99, which is cheaper than in Boots. Burts Bees also do a normal standard sized (4.25 g) tinted lip balm at £3.99 sold on Amazon, so I will try that and will update my review to let you know whether it’s better value for money.

Have them in nearly all shades - love them - light and not drying lips

I bought this in Caramel and it's the perfect shade, not too dark, and has a shimmery translucence, as expected. It's the same quality and hydration I would expect from burts bees products and stays well for a lip balm. I was disappointed that the main description didn't mention the mint though. I put it on and was instantly attacked by the unpleasant sensation of being hit in the mouth by a chilli-flavoured ice cube. Nonetheless, as it hydrates well and looks nice I am putting up with it. Tube is also rather smaller than the usual lip balms so I won't be buying this particular one at £8.99 again. Overall, great product, but will be looking for it cheaper elsewhere or sticking to the larger, plain balms.

First off, if you have badly cracked lips, this won't be good enough to fix them. For that, I'd recommend you slather on a good thickish layer of Vaseline on your lips prior to sleeping. No drink of water or eating after. Sleep 8 hrs. Then when you wake it, your lips should be in much better condition for lipsticks and products such as this. But if you don't have badly cracked lips to start with, then you will find that this product is really moisturising for a lip balm and lip tint combined. I have tried other brands like Nivea and other usual lip balm sticks which are tinted. None were as moisturising as this one. After hours of wear, my lips still feel lovely and moisturised, the colour is still there, and I can still feel the layer of product on my lips. It doesn't disappear off the lips at all. It acts kind of like a sheer lipstick, except it's far better at moisturising than any lipsticks I've ever used. It's really good. I'm really tempted to buy other colours now!

The product itself is lovely, good colour, feels great. Unfortunately they came covered in big Amazon stickers that were near impossible to remove and meant opening was difficult and using them is not so pleasant.

I love this. It’s a nice colour and does exactly what it’s supposed to. Burts Bees is definitely the best lip balm product in this price range. And I’ve tried many.

Quick delivery, a lovely balm soft and shimmery thanks.

The colour is beautiful, the minty taste is refreshing and my lips feel nourished and moisturised.

Je cherchais un transparent coloré naturel, parfait, il rempli bien mes attentes, un petit goût mentolé surprenant au début mais pas désagréable... Un peu cher plus un brillant a lèvres coloré 8mm de diamètre sur a peut près 7 cm de long, je m'attendais à plus gros mais finalement il est parfait pour l'utilisation sur des lèvres fines (Pas de débordement) il ne file pas alors la, c'est ce qui le rend encore plus parfait et fait oublier son prix...

No esperaba esto! Pero este labial es perfecto! Con brillo y color perfecto. También tiene efecto mentol

I have bought many high end tinted lip balms (including Nars, Fresh sugar, and others) but I always come back to Burts bees lip shimmers. They are my favorite. I love the pigment and soft shimmer, and the intense peppermint freshness that lasts a really long time. I'm surprised they dont charge more because they are way better quality than all the other high end ones in my opinion. Two thumbs up! I will always buy these.

Había leído las reseñas diciendo que era pequeño…es realmente pequeño. El color es muy sutil, no está mal. La calidad, esta marca siempre es buena.

Love the product and the color.
