Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

I am currently on my third tube of the Peppermint lip balm as I love how it keeps my lips hydrated and does not dry out my lips in between applications. It glides smoothly and the tingly sensation is not too bad. I apply every night and in the morning my lips feel smooth and soft so that when I apply lipstick it applies smoothly. Definitely will repurchase when my tube goes empty.

i hate the strong tingling feeling this peppermint lip balm gives my lips and it's ok at keeping my lips hydrated. not repurchasing.

I've used other Burt's Bees products in the past and have always liked them. My best friend sent me a tube of the Mango Moisturizing Lip Balm and I love it. It smells pretty sweet and it keeps my lips super soft and smooth. I put a very thin layer on before I do my makeup in the morning and put lipstick over it without any problems. After I wash my face at night and before I go to bed I always use a good amount if it. And of course, if my lips ever start feeling dry (which is rare and usually caused by wind or winter) I use it as needed.

It's silky smooth on my lips and lasts a long time. While it can feel a little oily/waxy, it doesn't leak outside of my lip line, so I never have to worry about wiping extra off of my skin.

It's definitely worth a try.

This lip balm has been in my arsenal for years. I use it as the balm underneath lipcolors as a moisturizing layer. It doesn’t warp the lipcolors (except this one Kat von D one, go figure), it also doesn’t slip and slide the lipcolors all over the place.

Love that it’s organic, it moisturizes and provides “grip” for other lip products.

Luckily no reaction to this, as some of the other reviewers have posted, but quite underwhelmed with this nevertheless. I didn't find it all that moisturizing during a winter trip to Canada when the cold wind made my lips chapped and sore as I was outdoors for several hours at a time. Generally speaking for warmer climates it's ok, adequate moisture and not too heavy, but nothing special, for anywhere colder I would give this a wide berth and stick to my La Mer lip balm or Jack Black Intense Therapy which is almost as good and much more reasonably priced.

This (and anything with beeswax as a main ingredient) makes my lips and throat tingle and burn, and it makes my chest feel like it's getting tight. I assume it's an allergy but who knows.

It really makes my dry lips moist. I found it at the dollar store so it was way cheaper than at the store. I love that it is cruelty free too.

My favorite when it comes to lip balm....the minty smell and flavor is wonderful. No matter how cold it is, this balm goes on smoothly and melts onto the lips. It protects and softens, would not be without it!

honestly best lip balm ive ever come across.
its super cheap, (i think i got a package with two lip balms in it for $3 canadian) smells and tastes good, is great for healing dry cracked lips and leaves your lips feeling hydrated for a long time after application. the packaging is extremely functional and makes application really easy.
one thing that really stood out to me about this lip balm is that unlike many other lip balms it didnt make my lips feel slippery? slimy or i guess wet? after application. i personally really liked that because when you put on burts bees lipbalm it doesnt make your lips feel like theyre slathered in product. another reason i appreciated this characteristic is because it meant that for example when i went to drink something it wouldnt leave a residue on the cup i was drinking from. this came exspecially in handy if i wanted to put lipstick on on top of my lip balm, as this formula didnt cause lipstick to slide of my face and bleed everywhere like many lip balms do, meaning i didnt have to sacrifice moisture for colour.
over all quality product at a good price, absolutely would reccomend it. :)

I only tried this Bc it was given to me for free I'm not that keen on it ! It's too much peppermint in it & I find it can irritate my lips 👄! But it does smell refreshing & was just ok in moisturizing my lips it's like a step up from the cheap chap stick stuff from the drug store
