Burt’s Bees Lipsticks
Don’t ask me why I had low expectations for the Burt’s Bees Lipsticks but I’ve had them sitting on my desk for a while, eyeing them unenthusiastically. But, as is the way, they turn out to be really rather good!
First of all, they’re just very creamy in texture – they feel protective and balmy but have the look of a mid-pigment, satin lipstick. They’re not hugely colour saturated so you don’t scare yourself with a very high colour lip – they’re much more understated than that, but still have enough pigment to be very much present. I also like that there are plenty of nude/natural shades – a great everyday wear that won’t dry out your lips.
Another chilly arm swatch I’m afraid! Shades from bottom to top are: Lily Lake, Orchid Ocean, Sunset Cruise, Ruby Ripple, Ruby Ripple (again..sorry.. I didn’t realise I had two exactly the same!), Doused Rose, Juniper Water, Tulip Tide and Russet River. I’m laughing a bit at ‘doused rose’.. that just doesn’t sound good… more plant ailment than luscious lip colour. My roses have got douse. I’ll shut up.
The Burt’s Bees Lipsticks are £9.99 – I think that’s pretty good value for a very decent everyday wear, plus they’re infused with Moringa Oil and Raspberry Seed Oils. Obviously, not suitable for vegans because of the beeswax.

They look good, and I especially like the double Ruby Ripple 😀
I have wanted to try these for a while. After seeing these swatches I feel these will be a great work lipstick. Thanks for sharing!

I had made a similar assumption about these lipsticks. Somehow I thought that since they were from Burt’s Bees they would be a balm texture with very little pigment; from your review and swatches they seem a lot more pigmented than I assumed, without being full-on in the colour department. Clearly I was too harsh on Burt’s Bees (and for no good reason!) and should give these a chance as they look right up my street!
