Sad to say I'm not a fan of Burt's Bees lip balm. With an incredibly unpleasant, thick and waxy texture, this is definitely a product I would not recommend or repurchase. The most irritating thing about this balm is that it's very difficult to apply. Because the product is so hard/dense, I find I have to forcibly drag it across my lips in order to get a good coating. Flakies are not eliminated, but rather coated in wax and accentuated on the lips - gross! While the cooling mentholated effect is nice, it's not enough to make up for the lack of moisturizing benefits. I bought a tube, but only used it a handful of times before I tossed it - sadness!
The bottom line: A big, waxy letdown that offers few (if any) benefits. Though I like that it's natural, what does it matter if it doesn't moisturize?
I had tried the lip balm and it really dried my lips. I had to keep reapplying it but it didn't do anything. It is too bad since I really wanted to like it.
I thought I'd love this product. And it seemed to work....but then every time I used it, it seemed my lips were more chapped that before. So, I chucked it. No thanks, not for me.
I wish I had the positive experiences that other people have had with this product. It does feel great on my lips, and the minty/tingly sensation is really nice. However... after using it for three days, I found that it had given me what appears to be a huge zit ON my lip! It's not a cold sore... not a bump... it's half on the skin of my lips and half just below them. It's painful, but luckily it's not noticeable... I just can't use this stuff.
This product tends to just "sit" on my lips instead of absorbing into them and getting rid of the chap. Since the product is SO thick when I go to wipe it off my chapped skin will come off with it (which is a very MESSY plus). This is extremely expensive for a drugstore item and it sucks. What is all the hype about? I even tried Burt's with the shimmer and light tint of color and it still was just as terrible. Glad I only receive them as gifts!
I dont get the hype over this lip balm. It doesnt really mosturize my lips that well infact it makes them worse as I constantly reapply. Boo-urns to burts bees lip balm.
I think this product is overrated.
I really cannot tolerate the smell and its heavy texture. I can only wear it (if ever) during night time and it could never be light enough to facilitate my lipstick application. I could see how this found be an optimal product for, say, someone who often snowboards.
I would not recommend this for an everyday lip balm.
Over-priced and does not work nearly as well as other brands.
Was very disappointed because it was recommended by a friend.
Was expecting a lot more from Burt's Bee. For about half the price I could've gotten a Chapstick which does a better job.
I had a really bad reaction to this lip balm. My lips swelled up and bled. When I contacted the company, they claimed it must have been caused by something else, but that was the only thing I had used on my lips. The store where I purchased it reluctantly gave me my money back. Don't try it if you have dry, sensitive lips.
