I have been which means to replace our massive roundup of the finest tinted lip balms — and since I solely have about 40 million of them I clearly wanted to buy extra, together with this Lip Shimmer from Burt’s Bees, in Fig. I final tried Burt’s Bees years and years in the past and located them type of waxy and unsightly, however I do know they’re certainly one of Kate’s favorites and I maintain seeing them on lists, so I believed I would give them a go.
I used to be undecided on the “lip shimmers” and “tinted lip balm,” so in fact I purchased each. The tinted lip balms are far more just like the consistency of a Blistex, and about the identical measurement — I type of want them for consistency. (Kate’s favourite colour right here is Crimson Dahlia; I bought Candy Violet and prefer it nevertheless it barely has any colour.)
The Lip Shimmers, in contrast, have a bit extra of a tint to them (however nonetheless not an excessive amount of). The applicator/stick is about half the scale of the lip tints, and a slight tingly/peppermint sensation, however not too unhealthy. In consistency it is similar to the tinted lip balms, however may be only a bit on the waxier aspect.
The colour is far more layerable, although — I bought Fig and Watermelon, and actually like each. I would say Fig (on me a minimum of) is a few shade or two lighter than Clinique Black Honey.
The lip shimmers are underneath $7 at CVS, Amazon, and different drugstores.
