Now, I've always loved lip balms. It was the first 'makeup' type thing that I got into and I had a collection that any 10-12 yr old would be proud of- I mean, with scents like 'spiced cookie' you just can't go wrong, can you? But surprisingly, until recently, I'd never tried any Burt's Bees lipbalms! My kind friend, here, bought this for me when out shopping a few weeks ago (knowing my love of sweet-smelling things) and I've used it nearly everyday since.
Now, I'm under no illusion, Burt's Bees Refreshing balm isn't a heavy duty moisturising lip balm, and so isn't suitable if you're trying to repair chapped, damaged lips- although they do an 'ultra conditioning' lipbalm which I want to try for winter. However, it is the perfect lipbalm to carry round with you for topping up during the day. What I like about this is that unlike some balms, I actually feel like this is sinking into my lips and nourishing them. Also, I love that it comes in the tube form, as I hate having to dip my fingers into a pot when I'm busy. Furthermore, (furthermore?!) it adds a little healthy shine to my lips, but not a slick, ultra glossy shine which I don't really like in a lipbalm (I'd use a lipgloss for that effect!), so this gets a thumbs up from me. And... finally, the reason I've been carrying this round with me lately instead of one of my others is the delightful refreshing scent! It's a beautiful citrus or 'pink grapefuit' wonder that isn't too sweet or too tart- perfect for summer! (Bear in mind though, that this doesn't actually taste of anything- and yes, I did try!) However, if this scent isn't for you, they have several others in the collection, which I really want to try out now!
