I still remember the first time my best adolescent friend whipped out a lip balm I had never heard of and said to me “You HAVE to try this, it is so minty!” It was Burt’s Bees lip balm, the original, of course. I’ve been using Burt’s Bees since that day, and the brand has really expanded since then. Since I’m a huge fan of their products in general, I decided to try one of their Lip Shimmer products, seeing as how I love to keep my lips super moisturized but still want color to them. This lip balm has the same minty feeling and smell from peppermint oil, but it has a hint of gorgeous color to it. To see “Rhubarb,”
Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer is 100% natural and cruelty-free. My favorite part about the Burt’s Bees lip balms is the all-natural peppermint oil. It gives you that “just brushed” clean, refreshing feeling but on your lips, and it smells luscious. Rhubarb is a raspberry shade that leans somewhere between pink and red. It’s not quite a red, which I love, because it’s more subtle. It adds a gorgeous sheen to your lips as well, and hydrates them like crazy. I find myself reapplying this lip balm very often because the peppermint oil in it is so refreshing. Don’t worry though, it’s not a “burning” feeling like lip plumpers have!
I love that there is a sheerness to the color as well. It makes it feel really natural and when I wear this I feel like a natural beauty!
This is such a flattering color on everyone, too. It’d look great on all complexions, hair colors, and eye colors.
In general, this product makes my lips look larger and more luscious. Love!
Overall: I was extremely impressed with this Lip Shimmer by Burt’s Bees! It’s the perfect 100% natural product for those who prefer to go natural, and the peppermint oil is an amazing scent and refreshing on the lips. The shades are sheer, flattering, and beautiful on your lips, as well. I hope to try all of the shades in this collection!

Does it heal dry and cracked lips?
Can it used as overnight lip balm?
