Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm Reviews
-
Overpriced and mediocre
I have this in Cherry. It smells like cherry Chapstick and tints my lips about the same amount--which is to say it hardly shows up, even when you layer it on. I guess "NATURAL" would be a nice way to describe the effect. It does moisturize decently, and keeps my lips feeling comfortable for awhile, but it's nothing particularly amazing. The formula feels slightly nicer than Chapstick, but it's not significantly different enough to warrant the ridiculous seven dollar price tag. There are so many alternatives--if you MUST have a tinted balm from Burt's Bees, get one of their tinted shimmer shades. Or buy another brand (Alba Botanicals makes great tinted balms that even have SPF and are much cheaper). And for a company that seems to be "green" and "natural" I'm really surprised by the excess packaging that Burt's Bees used on this product. — 8 months, 4 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

so-so
The price seemed steep considering it's just a tinted balm. But the product itself was fine. Nothing special. — 2 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 8 people said helpful

Not that tinted
I really like the results of this balm. It leaves my lips feeling smooth and taken care of. The formula is truly top notch. That being said, you will be disappointed if you are expecting a big color pay off. Even using the darkest color, I didn't see any real difference on my lips, which was very disappointing given how the product is marketed. I also think this is way over priced. At $6-$7 a stick, I would rather buy a lipstick. It is for these reasons that I am giving this a lower star rating despite the fact that I like the product. If you get it on sale, then it is worth purchasing. — 1 year, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 8 people said helpful

Nice and smooth . . .
I like the feeling on my lips that Burt's tinted lip balm gives me and love the fragrance. It lasts as long as any of the other products I have tried and gives a nice tint to my lips. My issue with this product is the price; it's too high for lip balm in my opinion. — 1 year, 12 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 6 people said helpful

I love these.
I bought a couple of these around the same time the lip butters came out and the LOreal balms. Compared to the balms these baby's give off way more color, feel smooth on the lips without felling heavy, and they don't taste like icky sunscreen. They are great for when you don't want to wear lipstick or gloss. For all of those who are saying they aren't that tinted, I don't get it. But I have about medium to light natural pigmentation to my lips, so they show up very well on me. They are a bit pricy but compared to some lesser balms on the market, they actually cost less. Plus you get the natural ingredients Burt's Bees is known for! I highly recommend you try at least one. — 6 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 6 people said helpful

Disappointed in Color
I have this in Red Dahlia and Hibiscus. The formula is light and hydrating but the tint leaves a whole lot to be desired. I was really hoping the Red Dahlia color would leave a flush on my lips, like I was eating raspberries or something. The color is almost completely sheer, hardly any tint at all. The Hibiscus color shows up orange and its quite unflattering. I am seriously disappointed in both balms. If I could, I would return them. — 6 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Whoa!
This balm is great! Hands down my favorite so far. It moisturizes, it's tasteless (so there's no temptation to lick my lips and chap them), the color is subtle, it's all natural, and I love the packaging! Emphasis on the moisturizing bit; this balm would last for hours and even when it did fade away, my lips are soft with a nice natural color. — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 8 people said helpful

not spf
it truly is a tint of color. you may want to select a shade that is darker than what you want. Rose for example is a lot lighter than you expect. the smell is unapealing. it smells like lickerish candy. i dont like it at all. as a tinted lip balm its good, but thats all it does. — 2 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

A great product -- if your expectations are realistic
I’m surprised by all the reviews that complain about this product not having enough color pay off. It’s not supposed to be a lipstick, a lip gloss or a lip stain – it’s a tinted lip balm, period. This is the product to wear if you want to look like you’re going completely natural and not wearing anything on your lips, but like you just happen to have especially nice lips. I have this in Tiger Lily and Red Dahlia (Tiger Lily is my favorite). They’re wonderfully moisturizing, and both impart a subtle hint of color with a nice, soft, moist look. It’s basically one notch above bare naked lips. I do think the price is a little high for what you’re getting, though, since one can buy actual lipsticks in the same price range that give you much more impact. If it were priced a couple dollars lower, I would give it a 10. But as long as your expectations are realistic, this is a good product. — 4 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
