Firstly let me say the packaging is simplistic but very cute. The tube came withing a larger cardboard tube and it really seemed to advertise that this was a natural, environmentally friendly product. I love that the company is concerned about being kind to the consumer, environment and to animals meaning that I would recommend it to a friend because it's important we're supporting this behaviour- companies need to be encouraged in these kind of aims. The lip balm colour was hibiscus and it was quite flattering. I didn't have any concerns with the smell (banana-ey almost) and the taste is to be expected of most balms. I found it to leave a bit of a greasy coat on my lips whereas I prefer it to absorb in. If my lips were extremely dry I don't think this product would be much use but it's good preventative wise. The only reason why I wouldn't use this again (after my tube has run out) is because of it's price. $18 is a little out of my price range when it comes to lip care.

Tips: Could be used as part of a pared down look- you know the whole t-shirt jeans little bit of mascara and concealer look. The tinted balm would bring it all together and add just the teensy bit of colour needed.
Burt's Bees tinted lip balm is a staple in my purse. Moisturising and giving a beautiful tint on my lips. Love retouching this balm throughout the day; giving me a light feeling. If you love the classic Burts Bees, do give this a try to add to your makeup tut.
Nice colour, affordable price, makes your lips look nice and moistures them good. It's one of the best brands that I've tried
Tips: -
I'm not a fan of wearing lipstick everyday. I would much prefer to wear a tinted balm. Hence the purchase...
I loved the colour, it was nice and the options are great. The texture was nice for me, I liked the little slip. The taste was... waxy... For a balm (where people are licking lips constantly) there should be at least a pleasant taste.
I'm not a lipstick nor lipgloss gal, so this is perfect! Very subtle scent and taste, gorgeous hint of colour with the moisturising goodness of a lip balm.
I got gifted a set of these for my birthday and love them! They have a very sheer colour to them which is great for subtle hint of colour on the lips. When applied they have a very moisturising feeling which isn't to slimy. The texture is therefore smooth and you can feel it on your lips, but it's not too heavy. Overall these are some of the better lip balms I have used and they give great lasting results, with re-application only needed every 3 or so hours. I will definitely buy more of these when they run out.
Tips: Apply more thin layers of the balm for more of an opaque look.
The lipbalm took quite a lot of use to give off more colour to my lips but it was very moisturising and does not build up the yucky slimy things that a lot of other lipbalms do after a few hours. Another thing is that it doesn't roll back down after rolling it up to apply. But other than that this lipbalm is a good one to get.
I got the "Red Dahlia" colour and it is super easy to apply tinted lip balm. It has a non-greasy and buttery texture and provides a much stronger tint than most tinted lip balms. Would be perfect for someone in an active or outside job, You don't need a mirror to apply it and it has a innocuous taste.
I love the packaging this came it. That on its own would be enough for me to buy it as a gift for someone. It had a great amount of colour when you applied it...but you have to be careful not to smear it all around the edges of your mouth since it applied like a lip balm. The texture is really nice and smooth, but without being sticky at all. I found one application stayed on my lips for a little over an hour which was great since I lick my lips pretty frequently. I wasn't a big fan of the colour I got which was Hibiscus. The colour on the packaging looked like something I would go for, but I found it a bit too orangy for my liking. If I had purchased it based on the colour of the packaging, I would have been dissapointed. If you like a bit of a orangy/pinky hue, it would be great. I have still worn it everyday and had comments that the colour looks very nice. Just not my preference. I couldn't see anywhere on the packaging that it has any sort of SPF covering so Im guessing it hasn't. That is a little dissapointing as it really is important in our climate. I don't think I would purchase it regularly as it is quite expensive compared to other lip balms :-( Overall, it has a lovely texture, and I loved that you only needed a gentle swipe of it to get the colour showing.
Tips: Be careful not to spread past your actual lips as the colour really shows up. Also, it would be awesome if they had testers at the shop as I didn't feel the colour was a true representation of what was on the packet.
Amazing lip balm felt soft and gave a slight tint without looking too unnatural. Loved the colour on me, would recommend this product for anyone who wants a slight tint whilst keeping their lips moisturised.
