Burt’s Bees: Replenishing Lip Balm

Today Sopho’s trying Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil by Burt’s Bees.

I know, I know, there’s thousands of lip balms out there.
And yes, I know you like to go for whatever’s cheapest.
Or whichever tastes nicest.
And you’re sure that this one can’t be any different to all the others you’ve used, so you don’t want to waste your money trying it.
But that’s why I try these things out, so you don’t have to.

The Positives:

• It smells scrumptious. Whilst wearing it I had no less than three people ask “What’s that I can smell on you?”, and sure enough, it was this beauty.
• It has a slight pink tint which I thought made my lips look nicer without any lip gloss (which I tend to find annoys me very easily because it’s so God damn sticky).
• It’s proud to not be tested on animals. Woohoo!
• The packaging’s cute, definitely nicer than that of cheaper brands.
• It’s 100% natural, so you’re not going to put any nasty chemicals on your lips. Always good I find.
• It’s super dooper moisturising. As in “Oh my god, my lips are so soft, I’m gonna go around kissing strangers just to show off how nice they feel now.” *Ahem* And that’s not just my opinion. I have a friend, we’ll call her S. Johnson (because that’s her name), and she had nasty chapped lips, so she saw my lip balm, asked if she could borrow it, used it ONCE and that was all it took. The next day they were soft without a hint of dryness.  Results like that speak for themselves don’t you think.

The Negatives:

• It’s not exactly the cheapest lip balm on the block at around £3-£3.50

The Verdict:

Having tried many, many lip balms in life I’d have to say this is probably my favourite. With a yummy smell and clear results, it’s worth the price. It’s give this product 4.5 out of 5.
