THANK GOD IT'S FAVOURITES: Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm


This is my favourite lip balm ever. Tin, tube, I don't care, it's the best.
It is super moisturising, it's not shiny, it's not sticky, and it tingles, what more could you want? This is actually a pretty good rulebook for any kind of moisturiser, for face or body, as well as lips. The only thing I like to be shiny is my hair.

As I said in our packing post, I wear it every day, usually over lip stain but I have also discovered it is good under lip pencils, like the Maybelline Color Drama, and because it's not shiny or slippy it works under lipstick too, which is particularly useful for potentially-drying long-lasting ones. I also put it on at night, obviously.

With a lot of lip balms, like with Vaseline, I find that they are good at protecting your lips from getting dry in the first place but aren't so good at fixing it once they get dry, which is not super helpful. Burt's Bees I find really, really healing, and it doesn't sting if your lips are dry or cracked, it's just super nourishing and repairing

The tingly feeling I absolutely love, and apparently it also plumps your lips up a little bit, but some people (who I think are wrong) don't like it. Noll is one of those people. She doesn't like the tingly feeling because she feels like she's reacting to it a bit, so I am sadly recommending the lip balm with the warning that if you have super super sensitive skin it might not be for you, but I have never had a problem with it and I've used it for years.

I would be really interested to know other Burt's Bees products to try because I really like the brand's philosophy but I'm not sure where to start, any tips? And is everyone else as obsessed with Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm as me or do you think there is something to rival it?

  3. I had this one and loved it! Unfortunately it fell out of my bag in the bus and rolled between a strangers legs and it was too awkward so I just left it - gutted!

    1. Oh no! You'll have to replace it :) I have three of these in various handbags and at home, but I am actually also super tempted to try the tinted versions as well haha...
