Huge huge fan of this little balm. This shade looks awesome on me. Love the peppermint oil. I buy it by the bundle.
As many noted, the color is not true to the tube, although this didn't bother me as it is pretty common in cosmetics. Product was creamy and thick. Feathered and migrated even with a lip liner. Not transfer resistant. Sometimes the color was uneven and goopy. Color was semi opaque to opaque on me. Didn't particularly moisturize my lips any more than a lipstick would have. Does not wear well layered under/over other products. Thought I may have gotten a bad tube and exchanged it. The next tube performed the same way.
I love the lip shimmers, but this particular shade was not my color. I bought it based on the color of the lip cap - it was lighter than the lip shimmer in Fig, so I picked it up, thinking it would be the same hue as my lips. Later, I found out that the color is a light mauve-pink - a little too light for my skin tone. I have an olive complexion, so light pink lip colors tend to wash out my face. It's still a great product overall, as it moisturizes your lips with a hint of sparkle and leaves a satisfying tingling/minty feeling, but it is just not for my particular skin tone. For someone with a fairer complexion, however, I think it would be lovely.
I love this! Love the tingle of the peppermint oil and the sheer color. Watermelon is a cool pink with pink shimmers. This is very easy to wear. This is more sheer compared to fig, but I like that it adds some color instead of being clear. I also like the slim tube packaging. I will continue to repurchase the lip shimmers. They're awesome.
This color was alright not my fav, I do love the minty tingly feeling you get when you apply it. I won't repurchase tho
I picked this up on a whim, and I must say so far I am impressed! Out of the twelve shades available, I thought this was the nicest, and looked like a MLBB sort of shade. Its a sheer reddish pink, that leans more so on the cool side though it still flatters my NW15 skin. I find it flattering with the shimmers being subtle, therefore highlighting a shine to your lips rather then look glittery. I really enjoy the tingling sensation from the "mentha piperita" (peppermint) oil, though some personally may not like that. It has a creamy and moisturizing texture.
My only complaint is that the twisting part of the tube isn't the best; it won't push down if it goes up too far.. You have to lightly push the balm with your finger and it slides slowly. Anyways I prefer this over the more expensive Burts Bees Tinted Lipbalms by far in all aspects! I would repurchase.
I love this stuff. I'm a lip balm fan in general, and this product hits my alley well. It has a nice peppermint scent. I happen to like the menthol feeling it gives, so that's one plus point. The product is very moisturizing. It goes on smoothly and feels lightweight. You get a good amount of pigment from it - it can be used on its own or with a lipstick, gloss, or liner. There is the shine and shimmer effect, but the color is subtle enough to use for a natural, everyday sort of look.
Watermelon is a cool pink tone. It seems to look best on neutral to cool skin tones, though it's a relatively workable shade in general. As for duration, it usually lasts 2-4 on my lips, unless I'm chewing or sipping on something. With its texture, I really don't reapplying it (one of those exceptions).
I'm not a fan of the way the product twists up. On one of the tubes I purchased, the twisting mechanism downright failed. On particularly hot days, it has a tendency to melt too. Combine that with the not-so-ergonomic design, and you have one messy situation. Other than that, I really like Burt's Bee Lip Shimmer. If you want a bit of color but avoid lipsticks altogether, this is a pretty good product to look into.
Love, love, love the scent and minty tingle this leaves on my lips. Not only does this moisturize, but it also gives my lips a very pretty neutral-pinkish tint.
Moisturizing, a healthy glossy shimmer, and a beautiful shade. This is as MLBB as it gets for me. it just looks like enhanced natural me. I love this!
This is somewhat a fun, pigmented lip colour that is meant for a casual occasion. It applies on the lips smoothly, and imparts a pinkish tone that may look a bit tacky if you apply too much (almost like a childish Barbie-doll shade).
However, if you apply this on top of a lip balm like I do....then it gives a nice pinkshade to the lips which isn't too obvious. It has a nice menthol feeling to it. Packaging wise, it comes in a slim plastic case which may look rather cheap. I don't know....I think this may be for you if you're looking for a fun lip product that gives you a bit of colour, rather than a proper cosmetic lipstick (eg; Chanel, Lancome, Maybelline).
