Burt's Bees - Lipstick - 501 Blush Basin


This product immediately intrigued me when it was released.
I always wanted to try something from Burt's Bees but don't really like lip balms.

The colour intensity is moderate (not full coverage, but close enough), the formula goes on smoothly, lasts at least 4 hours, and is moisturising.
It has a satin finish and faint floral scent.

I'll rename this shade 'Nakie'

It can do that weird thing that beeswax can do when it experiences temperature changes and forms hard beads of wax. The emulsion in it can be broken and I'm not sure how to reverse it without taking the lipstick out of the container.

Swatch and fitbit!

The packaging does feel a little flimsy, but it doesn't break and any ascetic issue can be forgiven since the packaging is recyclable.
Although I must say I LOVE the hexagons on the cap <3 The little beehive motif is adorable.

This isn't the best formula I have used, but is a nice option if you want a more environmentally friendly option.

Price:  2/5 ($19.95 for 3.4g)
Scent: 3/5 (faint floral scent)
Effectiveness: 4/5
