I have loved Burts Bees lip balms for a very long time and have wanted to try out these Lip Shimmers for a long time too! I received two of these in the recent Grab Bag promotion that was on, and have to say that these little beauties have become new staples in my make-up bag. Like the regular Burts Bees lip balms, Lip Shimmers are 100% natural so they don't have any artificial fruit scent to them, and have the same cooling menthol sensation when you apply them. They're in a skinnier tube than the regular lip balms, but still have the same fantastic moisturising qualities that I have come to expect from Burts Bees lip products.
Lip Shimmers apply nice and smooth and seem to be perfect texture wise (they're not too sticky or feel heavy on the lips), and deliver a good wash of colour that was much more pigmented than I was expecting (I'd say they're in the same league as the Revlon Lip Butters, but a tiny bit more matte and stay put a little longer too). The two that I received were Watermelon, a cool pink (1st pic below) and Rhubarb, which is a brighter coral-red (2nd pic below), with Rhubarb probably being my favourite out of the two, though I do like Watermelon for a fuss-free everyday look.
Have you tried any of these Lip Shimmers?
I love these :-) I'm wearing Watermelon right now!
ReplyDeleteCool! :)
DeleteThe Watermelon shade looks gorgeous, just what I've been looking for. Burts Bees always do the best lip care!

Deletethese are gorgeous! I was tempted by the grab bag but got so much to use up x
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling! x
DeleteAhhh if only I could find them in Mexico! I use the regular lip balm and I just ran out so need to find an alternative ;(
ReplyDeleteHope you can find something similiar! Not sure if they do shipping to you via their website? x
DeleteThese look so lovely :)! xx
ReplyDeletethey are, i really like them :) xx
DeleteLiking Rhubarb a lot!! I have some Debenhams points actually that I need to use and that may be just the right thing to buy!! :)
ReplyDeleteRhubarb is a gorgeous pink, let me know what you think of it if you get it! :)
DeleteI really want to get some. Where do you recommend I go to buy some? I just want a normal lip balm one maybe in the little tub thingy. xx
ReplyDeleteI get most of my Burts Bees stuff from Boots, they usually have a good selection in most stores :) xx
DeleteI've wanted to try these for quite a while, so I'm definitely tempted to buy rhubarb now! They really sound great and the shades are lovely, great review :) x

thanks, i really like them, they're just so easy to wear :) x
DeleteSo pretty Evelyn!! I love Burt's Bees too!
ReplyDeletethanks Tracy! :) x
DeleteThese seem like the perfect everyday shades for a slick of natural-looking colour that isn't too "done". Any lip product with a cooling sensation already has my approval, I love mintiness :p
ReplyDeleteme too, i'm a big fan of anything minty and can imagine that these will be lovely to use in summer (well, that's if it ever stops raining in the UK!) x
DeleteI love burts bees, these look fab!! Need to add these too my wish list.
