Lip Balm: Burts Bees

In search of a new chap stick, I wanted to try something else besides the Baby Lips by Maybelline. I like that product, but wanted to switch it up a bit. So while in CVS I saw that Burt's Bees had a tinted lip balm.

My first impression was that the color was not too bright or THAT noticeable, I think because of my skin color, I put it on my hand and couldn't really see. That's the problem I have with majority of lip colors, they don't show up true to color on my skin but then it did something to my lips, added something, can I say brighten? jazzed up? 

ALL I KNOW IS that I can re-apply and not worry too much of it looking too much. I also noticed that the feeling on my lips was less greasy and the scent was not strong, unlike the baby lips. Don't get me wrong, I do like the baby lips, in Cherry, and I think it felt greasier since I used it during summer, but this product seemed entirely different. And for $6.99 I should be satisfied. :)

As for packaging, it came in a cardboard tube. At first I thought that was the actual container, but once I opened it in the car, there was the ACTUAL tube inside, AND being a sucker for branding and packaging, I thought the cardboard felt appropriate and suited the whole "natural" je ne sais quoi :)

I think that I favor the Burt's a little more now because I've used baby lips for a whole year and it's nice to have something new in my bag. 

So this was my first impression of the Burt's Bees tinted lip balm in Rose and I would recommend this to friends who are Burt's fans :)

Thanks for reading!
