Burt's Bees Lip Gloss

Average member rating of 7.2
Average member rating
Rated a 7.5
As a "kissable," shiny lip balm, I love it. But as a gloss? I expect a lot more shine. Because it's in a tiny, screw-top jar, the colorless (bees)wax must be applied by finger, but ingredients like cocoa butter make leftovers a great cuticle conditioner. The company's claim that the product is 96.64 percent natural are justified by a short list of almost all-natural ingredients. "Natural" flavors like lemon-lime taste yummy, but bear a slight resemblance to Gatorade.

    Not if you're a germaphobe

    This product is nice, lasts forever. I have all 4 flavors and they all have natural scents to each one. However, if you're a nurse like myself, this can't be taken on the go.

April 11, 2008, 6:25 pm This product is nice, lasts forever. I have all 4 flavors and they all have natural scents to each one. However, if you're a nurse like myself, this can't be taken on the go. I refuse to use lip products at work that have to be applied by finger, because with all the germs we touch, it's just too much of a risk, not to mention when out in public. You would literally have to wash your hands first before using this product outside of the home. This product is best used at the bedside in the comforts of your own home. April 11, 2008, 6:25 pm

Ew. And that ubiquitous Burt's Bees scent is full force with just a hint of the flavor it is supposed to be. That's a deal-breaker for me. There are much better options out there.

    I don't know why this is called a lip gloss because it doesn't have as much "gloss" to it as you would otherwise expect from a lip gloss. A lip balm would've been a more accurate description as it has the feel, consistency as well as sheen, which is not that shiny at all. It even looks like a regular lip balm in... November 3, 2008, 6:32 pm I don't know why this is called a lip gloss because it doesn't have as much "gloss" to it as you would otherwise expect from a lip gloss. A lip balm would've been a more accurate description as it has the feel, consistency as well as sheen, which is not that shiny at all. It even looks like a regular lip balm in the container. I have the Cherry flavored one and I just love the fruity taste. Can't really say it taste like cherries though but it definitely tastes fruity. I like the fact it's got natural ingredients in it (according to the ingredients list on the box). I'm on my third one of this product and I use this regularly at night before going to bed to keep my lips moist, supple and moisturized which it does very well, I might add. On the lips, it feels slightly greasier and more slick than Chapstick and slightly shinier but not by much. It lasts pretty long on the lips and it definitely helps keep my lips from drying and cracking. I very occasionally use this on top of my lipstain to give my lips a little moisture but I'm not too fond of using my fingers to apply these types of screw-cap products when I'm out and about. I'd much rather use something that comes in a tube for that. The glass jar the product comes in is cute and useful. When the product runs out, I save the jars to put my home made tinted lip balm in as well as other things I want to make myself. November 3, 2008, 6:32 pm

    Definately a Must!

    by doreen368 (16 reviews)
    I love this gloss. I have Cherry flavor, and it's just yummy. It's great for chapped lips. I keep some in my desk and just put some on over the course of the day. It's not too glossy, it's more soothing for your lips. Definately recommend! October 29, 2008, 6:51 am

    its great but...

    by AmyB58 (198 reviews)
    if you lick your lips to moisten, it has an awful taste to it. Sort of like your typical bees wax. It does have a shine to it like a chapstick, but not anywhere near a gloss. I think this would sell better as a chapstick. May 1, 2008, 7:50 am

    by hexbunny (49 reviews)
    I like burt's bees. This lip gloss is effective. Some flavors taste off to me. It could be the all natural lack of preervatives. If it has been around for awhile it cantaste off and is time to get a new jar. April 28, 2008, 5:11 am

    I like it

    by careyab (6 reviews)
    I think this leaves your lips feeling amazing! I use it every morning and night and have found that I don't get chapped throughout the day like I used to. The only thing I don't like is that I have to use my finger to apply it. February 6, 2008, 8:23 am

    Yum!

    by thressabel (3 reviews)
    Burt's Bees, always natural and always a good buy, has done it again. Their purse-perfect pots of lip balm nourish, soothe, shine, and scent lips not quite like any other. I highly recommend getting your hands on some with winter's chapped and dried-out lips coming soon! November 29, 2007, 2:09 pm
