Burts Bees Natural Tinted Botanical Reviews Summary

Moisturization

Pros:

• "Love this product. Very moisturizing. The violet tint is very flattering on me!"
• "Always keeping my lips moisturized while giving a medium color to go to the gym or first to give the best base for adding color with a lipstick after."
• "The formula is indeed quite moisturizing compared to many others I have tried."
• "Perfect amount of color and still has that great smooth feel. Keeps my lips hydrated with a nice hint of red color."
• "I love how moisturizing this balm feels (just as good as the regular burts bees balms) and I ADORE the hint of rosy color this gives!"
• "This lip balm has a moisturizing and creamy feel to it."
• "It’s super moisturizing and feels good, even when applying to extremely chapped lips…very cushioning and comforting."

Cons:

• "However, I've noticed that I can only wear it for a few hours before switching to another brand of lip balm because it makes my lips worse than before I put it on."
• "The formula is not nearly as moisturizing and glossy."
• "The color is worn and my lips feel dry after only like an hour maybe."
• "I wish this worked like a regular lip balm by moisturizing your lips, but it dries mine out really bad, like 5 minutes after I put it on."
• "With the new formula, it's no better than low-end, cheap lip gloss that might pass for a kid's product, but not for grown women."
• "The color goes on kind of gloopy and not smooth."
• "The lip balm leaves thick chips of product sometimes and doesn't apply evenly - VERY light otherwise."

Color & Tint

Pros:

• "I absolutely hate wearing lipstick because of how dry it leaves my lips... But this colored chapstick is absolutely perfect. It gives you a beautiful color that also hydrates your lips."
• "I love Burt's Bees tinted lip balm. It not only moisturizes my lips, it gives them a beautiful color."
• "The Red Dahlia may *look* dark, but it's very sheer, adds just the right amount of color to lips, looks very natural."
• "It is the exact color as my gums so it is attractive and natural looking."
• "I love these. I've been wanting to move away from all un-natural makeup, and Burt's Bees has some great products that really work to keep my body healthy as well as add a little 'spunk.'"
• "I absolutely love this Burt's Bee Lip Balm. This lip balm works so well to keep my lips soft, smooth, and chapped free while adding a hint of color."
• "It not only is extremely moisturizing, lasts long, but the Red Dahlia shade looks absolutely fantastic and serves as an alternative to lipstick."

Cons:

• "The color is not good at all- looks like a rosy pink on the packaging but it’s a super ugly orange-y color on me."
• "Unfortunately, it seems they have changed the color too. It doesn’t have as much pigment as it used to have."
• "The whole point of buying a tinted lip balm is the tint. This is literally just a clear balm."
• "I absolutely love the color that this tint gives😍 it’s like I’m wearing a lip stain or a pale shade of lipstick, but it looks so natural and like I haven’t even applied anything."
• "The new formula is not as pigmented as the old formula unfortunately."
• "I'm so disappointed that you can basically see hardly any color with the new version of this."
• "These work well as a colorless lip balm, but there is NO Red Dahlia color that remains on the lips."

Packaging & Quality

Pros:

• "The sleek packaging makes it perfect for on-the-go touch-ups, fitting easily into even the smallest clutch or pocket."
• "The size of the applicator is just right and the cap clicks and stays on securely, preventing in-pocket or in-purse mishaps."
• "I was happy with my purchase, especially since both lip balms still had their safety seal."

Cons:

• "Even the label looks different, not what it looks like here."
• "This product came and was already pushed out and up into the cap, as if it had melted and fused with the lid."
• "Wow, quite disappointed! One lipbalm came destroyed when opened with the lipbalm stuck to the lid, and i have tried to fix the remains but still looks terrible and unusable."
• "The tubes also arrived with the balm raised up, so it was inside the cap, and the labels are misplaced."
• "But one of the two I bought has a failed twist-up mechanism. It doesn't advance the lip balm out of the housing."
• "Since new owners have changed the packaging, it seems to also have changed the actual substance of the lip balm, itself... it is now too soft & tends to become mushy & meaty not smooth like it’s been for over 10 years."
• "In a package of two, both tubes are defective: the balm itself is half white & half rose on the top, and below that there's a hollow gap."

Flavor & Scent

Pros:

• "It keeps my lips moist and has a soft, pleasant smell."
• "It’s got a mild fruity scent that is not overpowering."
• "Additionally, it has no scent and no taste which is a MUST for me."

Cons:

• "I have to warn my husband not to kiss me until the heel balm absorbs because...heel balm doesn't taste nice."
• "First off this has a terrible plastic taste."
• "There is a somewhat unpleasant candied scent if I stick the open tube directly under my nose."
• "It's just dreadful--oily feel, leaves a weird taste on the lips. Not to mention that it now contains canola oil, which is not a healthy thing to put anywhere near the mouth (or in the body)."
• "The tinted balm is kind of greasy but somehow not very hydrating, and the FLAVOR is the WORST PART, just plain gross straight chemical nastiness."
• "It also smelled like diesel which was concerning."
• "Had a state taste and smell... Definitely do not recommend getting, especially as you do not want to risk ingesting!"

Value & Price

Pros:

• "The price for two tubes was great, so I purchased more of the Red Dahlia!"
• "Great price and so convenient to purchase on Amazon and get it delivered right to the front door."
• "A 2-pack at the price I would've paid at the store, fast shipping, good packaging."

Cons:

• "These lip balms seem fine, but honestly, I think they charge too much, so it isn't a great value."
• "The title says it all, these are great on moisturizing and subtle coloring. They’re a bit overpriced but they are worth it."
• "Eight dollars for a tube of chapstick with a dash of color is way overpriced."
• "For the price i’m not sure it’s worth it."
• "Very disappointed with no color transfer."
• "It’s too bad they had to charge over twice the price for it! It’s been out of stock."
• "Ordered 4 lip balms but only received 2 and still awaiting the other 2."
