Years ago I tried Burt's Bees lip balms and thought they were ... substandard. 

 

Have they changed their formula?

I stopped using them for that reason

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers. A cross between a lip balm and a lipstick with a hint of peppermint. Has more color than their tinted balms. The names don't indicate their flavors. The names are the colors of the product. They have just a tiny hint of shimmer, not glittery. All kinds of colors. The Watermelon shade is like a MLBB.

These are the best!  Easily fits in my pockets.  I like the watermelon and fig, I will usually buy two or three because they can be hard to find.  


These look really pretty!  My lips stay dry, so I'm always putting on lip balm.  I think I'll give these a whirl.😃❤️

 

I really need something for my lips at night.  I'm guilty of using Carmex in the tubes because they "feel" like they're working and let's face it, because they're really inexpensive too.  I know in the long run they're actually drying.  Any suggestions for an inexpensive nighttime lip balm?

I wear Burt's Bees shimmers also but in Champagne, Peony & Guava.  They do have a berry.  I have worn these for at least two decades.

 

I get balms for nightime at $ tree.  I like the Palmers Cocoa butter & the aloe vera. $1.25.

Thanks a lot for the recommendations.  I'm always in search of something inexpensive, but good, to put on at night.  I'll give them a try.😃❤️

My experience with this Bert Bees product is that they got really soft and melted.  Then became gloopy when applied.  I'll never purchase again.

I have always heard to stay away from Burt's Bees. I can't remember why though.

Haven't been on in agesSmiley Sad but agree with @Desertdi it's a great choice. I find this is a very beautful lip product I think it's higher end worthy IMO. It's [to me] seems more of a lipstick b/c of the nice shade, not overly balmy lipstick but works so well feels nice. If anyone says the Burts Bee's or this or others feel grainy that is only shea Butter bumps! Hope that helps and I like the grainy wax from shea it's not hard it's smooth. In my stash of makeup I throw it in a small bag b/c it's a smaller tube not heavy along w/my 2 other lip items. I have had mine 2 years it's like new, but do not use it as I use every day. It's Pacifica and shade Fig which has have shimmer kinda like a frosty pretty look - enhances lips really lovely over my long wear lip liner. Beats my 2 others by "Fresh" that I use that are great and $$$ but are like any nice lip balm and one has hardly any color but nice any way it's shade Rose, but Peony is quite nice, love it and has a wee tad of shimmer [barely any] and a lovely color neutral med light brwn plum I apply often when out a go to often adding it atop my lip liner all over my lips.

Off to bed have bad insomina amoung other problems and had to share with you all. Have a nice cool day here in burbs of Philly it'll be like 84. But heading w/hubby to get a new knee scehdeuled. Omg I've postponed so long due to pain! I have my arthritis...cannoy do much now and it seems so sudden. Bye everyone Smiley Very Happy misses you all
