Burt's Bees

I have this in Sedona Sands and it's the perfect "my lips but better" color for my light-medium neutral undertone skin. However, it is definitely not matte, and it feels a bit drying on the lips. I would rate this as medium color pay off and it does not look blotchy if you apply a few layers. It has a slightly glossy finish instead of matte.
The packaging is nice and simple. It's easy to twist up and down but I wouldn't purchase this full price. It's worth a try if it is on sale and works as a nice everyday lip color.

This is a nice tinted lip balm. The color is pretty natural, although it looks dark.
I use it at work when I want a little bit of color & don't have to put too much effort into applying the lip color.
It does feel a little thick though, so it's not my HG.
I purchased this in a holiday pack and the price was discounted. I wouldn't purchase this full price, but it's worth a try if it is on sale.

I have this in the "peony pool" shade and I really like it. I have a very pale/pink complexion and this is a good match for me. I especially like that it is a cool pink shade without any peachy tones (which are not flattering on me). Color is subtle and natural looking. It is very easy to swipe on and blend with my fingers, and it seems to have okay staying power. I paid $12.99 at CVS. Great find!

Way, way too drying. I wouldn't use this on the eye area - it says not to on the bottle - so I'm reviewing this for how it performs on the rest of my face. My skin feels so stripped after this. Probably a good choice for very oily skin, but for me this gets a pass. I wanted to keep using it, but at this point I feel like it's been a couple of months and I got my money's worth. This product is very potent; half a pump is plenty for the whole face. So, in that respect, it's good value.

It works okay, no miracles but no major complaints either. I would describe the texture as more waxy and a little bit gritty than "buttery." It doesn't absorb as quickly or nicely as an oil product, so ironically it creates more of a mess when it transfers than a straight oil would. I think there's too much beeswax in the formula. It would also be a much better product if they cut out the lemon oil, but hey, it wouldn't be a Burt's Bees product if it didn't have unnecessary scaremongering of the "unnatural" products it's made without while simultaneously being packed full of potentially irritating and obnoxious smelling natural ingredients.
