I have been which means to replace our massive roundup of the finest tinted lip balms — and since I solely have about 40 million of them I clearly wanted to buy extra, together with this Lip Shimmer from Burt’s Bees, in Fig. I final tried Burt’s Bees years and years in the past and located them form of waxy and ugly, however I do know they’re certainly one of Kate’s favorites and I hold seeing them on lists, so I assumed I might give them a go.
I used to be undecided on the “lip shimmers” and “tinted lip balm,” so after all I purchased each. The tinted lip balms are far more just like the consistency of a Blistex, and about the identical dimension — I form of favor them for consistency. (Kate’s favourite colour right here is Purple Dahlia; I obtained Candy Violet and prefer it however it barely has any colour.)
The Lip Shimmers, in contrast, have a bit extra of a tint to them (however nonetheless not an excessive amount of). The applicator/stick is about half the dimensions of the lip tints, and a slight tingly/peppermint sensation, however not too unhealthy. In consistency it is similar to the tinted lip balms, however is perhaps only a bit on the waxier aspect.
The colour is far more layerable, although — I obtained Fig and Watermelon, and actually like each. I might say Fig (on me at the least) is a couple of shade or two lighter than Clinique Black Honey.
The lip shimmers are below $7 at CVS, Amazon, and different drugstores.
