I was desperate to find a product that would ail my horribly chapped lips and lip area, so I headed to my local Shoppers Drug Mart and picked up this lip balm. I’ve been using Lip Medex up to now, but I wanted to try something more “natural”. I’ve tried some Burt’s Bees products in the past (cuticle cream and a Lemon-Lime Lip Gloss) and although I wasn’t BLOWN away with the results, I have heard great things about their lip balms.
Burt’s Bees describes how their lip balm works (on their website): “This replenishing and hydrating natural lip balm is infused with the antioxidant goodness of Pomegranate oil. It replenishes moisture and restores texture to reveal smooth, healthy lips, and coats them for a smooth, even-toned appearance.”
- nice subtle scent/taste of pomegranates
- light feeling, not heavy/waxy
- “all-natural”
Claws Out:
- not very moisturizing
- doesn’t last very long - meaning lots of re-application
- no SPF
Final Comments:
I used this product religiously for a few weeks to try to wean myself away from relying too heavily on Blistex’s Lip Medex product, but I was finding myself having to reapply every few minutes (no exaggeration). And although it worked to soothe my heavily chapped lips, I was definitely wanting for more lasting time. I will probably re-try it when the weather is less dry.
