Review of the Burt's Bees Natural Hydrating Lip Balm & Natural Lip Shimmers

Hi Beauties! I hope that you all had a great weekend - it always feels like it goes by super fast for some reason! I am excited about the week ahead so I thought that I would start it off with a bang and talk about some of my new found favorite Burt's Bees products that have just come out. The cold weather really tends to dry out my lips so I am always on the lookout for a quality lip balm that can quickly restore my lips back into tip top shape.

The first Burt's Bees product which we will be talking about today is the brand new 100% Natural Hydrating Lip Balm with Coconut & Pear. I absolutely love the delicious scent of this product - it has the perfect balance and is not too overpowering. The amazing coconut scent makes me reminisce of sunny summer days at the beach.

As the name suggests, this lip balm is super hydrating on the lips from the instant that it is applied. This lip balm glides beautifully on the lips just like butter. It also lasts a good while before you need to reapply and does a great job at making your lips feel super soft and supple after only a day or two of use.

This product retails at $6.99 (but Priceline has a promotion on it at the moment)

The Natural Hydrating Lip Balm mentioned above is clear when applied on the lips but if you are the type of girl looking for a hint of colour whilst also protecting your lips from this harsh winter cold then the new Burt's Bees Natural Lip Shimmers are right up your alley. I have the Grapefruit and Apricot ones swatched in the pictures below.

These new Natural Lip Shimmers come in a packaging that is slimmer but taller than your conventional lip balm (and the Burt's Bees Hydrating Lip Balm mentioned above).

The sleek packaging of these lip shimmers ensures that you get precise application of the product every time - which is also perfect for girls like me who like to apply their lip balm on the go, without a mirror, so there is little chance to make a mistake when applying them.

They come in a beautiful range of colours and flavors. The Grapefruit one is a beautiful, light pink colour whilst the Apricot one is a gorgeous, vibrant orange. Both colours are lovely to wear during the day as they are lightly pigmented so that they bring the perfect amount of colour into your look - of-course these are buildable so if you want a deeper colour then an extra coat of the lip shimmer will easily achieve that.

The unique thing about these lip shimmers is the fact that they both have a minty scent and have a cooling and slightly tingling sensation on the lips. 

These lip shimmers have pretty normal lasting power compared to other similar products that I own. I don't mind having to reapply them since they feel soo soothing on the lips. I love the fact that they add colour to my look whilst looking after my lips with the vitamin E, beeswax and coconut oil. 

These lovely lip shimmers retail at $9.99 each (but I have noticed that they are also on sale at Priceline at the moment!)


Overall, I love these new Burt's Bees lip products as they cater for everything I need from a quality lip balm. I love the fact that they use naturally derived ingredients and leave my lips feeling beautiful after use.

Have you tried these new Burt's Bees lip balms? Which are your favorite?
