    I bought this because I had a coupon for a free product at BBW and this is the cheapest thing there ($3.50). I did want to try a burt's bees product to see what all the hubub was about. I checked...

    I like this product in different shades, however Merlot looked goofy on me. I think it may look good on the deep-skinned folk, though.

    I really like this color. It looks red on my lips, maybe because of my paler skin tone. I took away a point because it's a tad bit waxier(not too heavy though) then what I usually prefer.

    Wow. The split in the reviews is very interesting. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who escaped the dreaded fushia lips. On me it's a bright red with a subtle purple/pinkness to it (hard to...

    I like the color, but I don't do a full lip application, I just dot it in places on my lips then rub it in. It goes pretty well with my cool undertones- although the staying power on me was about...

    I love the slim tube, and tinted balms. BUT this color was way too harsh. I also had a hard time dealing with the tingling from the peppermint oil - maybe I just have sensitive lips. I definately...

    I like the balm in general. But the color is absolutely horrible. Dark fuschia. Yuck. I would definitely not repurchase in this color.

    Ick. This turned out to be Bozo-bright fushia on me. Disgusting. Made my lips peel and all around feel icky, in addition to looking ridiculous. Will NOT purchase again.

    Bought this because the BB lip balm is one of my essential items of life, and I'd hoped that this would be a suitable lipstick alternative. Very nice color - a little pink for my yellow skin tone,...

    I did not like this product AT ALL !! Hated it, hated it - And it tastes/smells like mint. It makes my lips burn and tingle and not in a good way. They could have listed it had a mint taste on it...

    I absolutely LOVE this stuff. It's tingly like their other balms, but with color. It's not sheer which is cool with me. I didn't find the color fushia at all, definitely a red wine color. My...

    I bought this yesterday in my college bookstore (of all places). If you go by the tube color, Merlot looks dark and scary. On my lips, however, it's a bright rose/red color (it almost morphs into...

    I have 3 lip shimmers so far, and Merlot is my least favorite. Love the idea behind these tinted lipbalms, but Merlot is extremely fuchsia on my lips. I had hoped it would be more red or...

    Merlot is only one of the five reformulated Lip Shimmers I have. It's a beautiful, sheer red color in Burt's lip balm. Because it's a tube, it's much easier to apply than L'Occitane's Redcurrant...
