Clearly, Burt’s Bees Lipbalm is not a new product, but I’ve just been sent a set as a reminder of the product (as if I needed it!) but also a couple of ‘scents’ that I haven’t tried. If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’ll know I’m not that keen on scented lip products and I’ll always choose unscented wherever possible. But, I think I’ve found the exceptions right here! When your lipbalm starts to sound more like the cocktail menu, you know that you’re onto a good thing.
So, kicking of with my best scent – Coconut & Pear. It smells exactly of both and is gorgeous – I’d take this combo any way possible.. cake, drink.. or, er balm! Next, Blueberry & Dark Chocolate. Now, in my experience, chocolate scent is something that can go impossibly wrong in beauty – my gag reflex goes into full swing – but not with this. It’s just a bit like Cadbury’s Fruit & Nut. Finally, it’s Pink Grapefruit – kind of sweet and sharp at the same time and the scent has actually made me want to go and buy a grapefruit. I can’t remember the last time I even had grapefruit, but I want it now!
There are some nasty old balm scents out there which makes me think that maybe it isn’t that easy to perfume wax – or maybe it’s always the old ethyl maltol over any decent and more expensive ingredients. Either way, if you’re fussy about balms, Burt’s Bees has it spot on and it’s £3.69 (HERE) very well spent for an aroma that makes you smile.

Burts bees’ are my favourite lip balms because they are so moisturizing. They are hydrating for any time of year and I find they now have a great range of scents. I have the pomegranate one and it’s great, even puts a little red tint to my lips works wonders. Awesome post that you did !
I love Burt’s Bees products & these scented lip balms sound lovely & quite different. The Pear & Coconut one has me very interested

I found burts bees lipbalm to be the best flavoured lipbalm. Lovely fresh scents that do not smell artificial.
For an unfragranced one I prefer Eve Taylor Lip balm

I love Burts Bees, they are the best ‘stick’ lip balm around. I will have to hunt down the new flavors as they sound delicious!
