I am a girl and that includes me biting the lips when in tension and lick whenever I find them a bit dry. As a result, I've always had dry chapped lips. In a quest to find my perfect lipbalm I kept trying out all the available lipbalms. Through some random searches I got to know this brand called "Burt's Bees". It is famous for all natural and organic products,100% chemical free. At one point, I was literally dieing to try this out and searched each and every international website for this, Feelunique.com came to my rescue. The best part about this website is that, it offers free international shipping.
I am going to review the Burt's Bee Nourishing Lip Balm with Mango Butter

My Experience with the product:I was super excited to try this out.May be because of the fact it is organic or may be because I've heard people saying too many good things about it. Whatever, when I laid my hands on it I was happy. You know what I mean, I was succeeded in getting what I wanted finally.The lip balm is white/transparent color with a touch of ripe mango smell. I am not so fond of mangoes so for me,it wasn't a pro. I was now only looking out for the result. I have been using it for almost 5months. I am finishing it. I have used few other lip balms also in between.Let's not distract the topic.
This lipbalm is very light in texture. It is like a coat of bees wax on lips. It seems light but feels like you have applied something on your lips. It is colourless so, all it provides is the healthy looking lips with a little shine. It doesn't stay for long hours. I mean, it can't survive meals. You may need to reapply for every 2-3hours. I had to apply for every 2 hours as I have dry lips.
I does cure the chapped lips. It instantly moisturises my lips and and calms down the burning sensation created because of the extremely dryness.
Overall, it is a good lipbalm which satisfies the basic needs of using a lipbalm.
Swatches:
As you can see, it is just transparent. It looks as if you swatched the vaseline petroleum jelly. So, I am skipping that part.
Pros:
1. Moisturises well.
2. All natural products makes it attractive. Can be used as a base for lipsticks.
3. The mango smell.
4. So many variants to chose from.
5. No side effects.
6. It causes no pigmentation like the vaseline/any other lip balm.
Cons:
1. I felt it is heavy.
2. Less staying power (may be that's the same for any lipbalm)
3. Availability. (It is available in Sephora but for a heavy price)
Final Words:
It is a good product for the people with dry lips. It does cure the dryness and chapped lips. Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to Facebook
