Burt's Bees

I was excited to try this as my lips have been super-chapped lately (moved to a different part of US and suddenly my lips are irritated, dry and everything seems to sting them. local water? ) and my regular lipsticks and glosses have aggravated the problem. I was excited to find a shade with a rich, deep, MLBB color, but I find the consistency to be heavy, waxy and uncomfortable to wear. There's enough of something in it to dry out my lips. I started using Laniege Lip Sleeping Mask nightly and even applying in the morning, and that has helped overall but this product is still uncomfortably to wear. It goes on very heavy and doesn't give me the flush of color that I wanted, more like a paint job. Very disappointed because I like this brand.

This product feels good and works well, but most surprisingly....it is a miracle healer for cold sores. I rub a drop on twice a day and it just instantly heals the sore. I've spent a lot of money on prescriptions that hardly work and this stuff is just *boom* heals overnight. I probably wouldn't have bought it again as I am not picky with cleansers and just buy whatever looks gentle and happens to be on sale, but now I will stock up and not worry about having my week ruined by a future outbreak. 10/10

When you first apply this gloss.. it gives a nice tint of color... after about a minute or so, the color completely disappears!!! I get that it's a tint of color... but i would have preferred SOME color at least. It's also not very hydrating and doesn't last even last on the lips at all. There's a faint sweet scent / taste to it which is pleasant. I like that it comes in a tube as well. I got this color in pucker... which is a nice coral-y red... on sale for $8.99 CAD.. reg. $10.99. Price is expensive for what i feel is an overpriced glorified lipgloss. Definitely would not re-purchase.
