You can also go to their website for more information & consumer reviews.

 

I used one of their colored lip balms but it had an odd scent.   Nothing bad but I didn't like it.

Saw a commercial for Burt's Bees lipstick.  Has anyone tried it?  If so, what do you think?

They are okay in my opinion but waxy. I like something softer. Have a few, but decided i wasn't reaching for them and stopped purchasing other colors.

I had a really annoying reaction to some of the tinted lip products. They were some of  the "cooling" ones, and I couldn't figure out which, so I stopped using the lip products altogether.

 

My lips would peel immediately after application, and it took days for them to heal. Not worth experimenting with them.

I have wanted to like this line for years. I finally gave up after trying any number of things because they just don't work at all for me.

As lip balms go, the Burt's Bees are really good in my opinion.  I buy the small, skinny tinted balms to wear around the house or over lipsticks (these are $1 at the supermarket).  Very moisturizing, but the color doesn't last more than 30 minutes or so - but I don't buy them for their color.

 

I have one BB's lip crayon, which is also a tinted balm.  I light pink.  I love it!  Again, super moisturing and the color lasts maybe 2 hours  The creamy balm disappears, but the color lasts. .  It's also excellent for over a dark lipstick to tone down the color and make the color last.  When I need lip balms, I always buy BB's.   But I've never tried their lipsticks....yet.

it doesn't last on me. tried it once and never again. the lip balm has a cooling effect, but that's another one i stopped using. chapstick total hydration is so much better. long lasting moisturization and the flavors are good

I haven't used Chapstick in decades but recently tried these Total Hydration balms. I love the Smooth Oasis which is unscented and clear, as well as the Rose Petal, which I like more than the Fresh Sugar lip treatment. They offer just the right amount of hydration without being too soft.
