Because Burt’s Bees used to add peppermint oil to their tinted Lip Shimmers, I ended up tossing all that I owned because my lips were so dried out. And I avoided the Burt’s Bees lip products for years. But that has ended, and I’ve come back to the fold because of new Burt’s Bees Lipstick.
A few weeks ago, Burt’s Bees launched a line of lipsticks in 14 shades that are positioned as moisturizing lipsticks. Here’s what Burt’s has to say about them:
“Intense color meets conditioning 8-hour moisture. Full-coverage, vibrant color in 14 shades made with 100% naturally moisturizing ingredients like moringa and raspberry seed oils to help soften and condition your lips all day long.
• 8-hour moisture
• 100% Natural
• 14 versatile shades deliver luscious, bold color
• Smooth, satin finish
• Doesn’t dry out lips
• Helps to hydrate and moisturize lips leaving them feeling soft and smooth
• Features naturally moisturizing ingredients such as Beeswax, Moringa Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil, and Vitamin E”
I picked up Scarlet Soaked, shade 520, at CVS a couple of days ago. The lipsticks come in a lightweight plastic, recyclable square tube. As you can see, the tube is brown with a honeycomb that allows the shade of the lipstick to show through. Cute.
Because this is red, I used a clear lip liner. Next time, I’ll use a red lip liner, lol, ‘coz sometimes I can’t see the clear liner! Scarlet Soaked was easy to apply. It pretty much covered in one pass.
The lipstick looks creamyish on my lips and has a satin finish. It is very lightweight.
Since my lips are so dry, I’m not a great judge on whether this is hydrating or not. It’s not hydrating like Too Faced La Creme is. But thankfully, it is not drying.
The lipstick does fade with time. In fact, I put on a second coat about an hour or so after I first applied the first coat. It lasted more than 6 hours. It didn’t disappear till l ate a meal. At the end of the day, it left behind a stain. I’m impressed with the quality of the Burt’s Bees Lipstick. It’s much higher quality IMHO than the lip balms and shimmers.
Scarlet Soaked (dumb name, IMHO) is a great shade of warm red. It’s a happy color!
Burt’s Bees Lipstick is 100% natural. Priced at $9 and widely available at Ulta Beauty, CVS. Walgreens, Target and other retailers.
Have you tried Burt’s Bees Lipstick yet? Which shades did you go for?
Wow, this is such a gorgeous shade of red, and it is absolutely stunning on you! I’m so glad that you have found your way back to Burt’s Bees!

Thank you, Helen! I forgot to mention that the quality of this lipstick is so much higher than the lip balms and tints. I do really like it!
Oooh that’s a gorgeous shade of red on you!
Thank you, Mai!
Love this shade on you! These are probably my favorite Burt’s Bees lip product.

Thank you, Kristina! I agree, it’s mine too by far!
That’s a great cherry red! It looks amazing on you.
Thank you so much, Rachel! Have you tried the Burt’s Bees Lipsticks yet? I am amazed at how nice it is
Not yet. I’ve been hearing good things, so I want to.
So many lipsticks, so little time 😉
Oh I hope these will make their way to Canada soon enough, I love the whole concept of these lipsticks. The packaging is really modern look for BB – no more yellow, wow!
I actually quite like their lip shimmers – one of my favourite tinted balms. 🙂
True! No yellow! Instead we’ve got the honeycomb, but I like that. I’m glad you can wear the Lip Shimmers. I must have had 8 of them, and I couldn’t figure out what it was that made them impossible for me to wear, and then someone mentioned the peppermint oil. I should have checked first! So happy that these don’t have peppermint oil, yay!
I’ve never really been a fan of Burt’s Bees lip products — I don’t find them super hydrating. Pretty shade, though!
I don’t find this one super-hydrating either, but it is not drying like the Lip Shimmers are on my lips. This one feels comfortable
I’m wearing Tulip Tide right now. It’s an easy going pink that I’m very comfortable wearing.
Oh wow, that’s great, Marcia! I’m going to have to take a look at that shade too
That’s a beautiful red!
Thank you!
Oooooh girl! Love that on you! I need to get more of their lipsticks!

Thanks, Kat! I love this one, I may “need” more
I picked up 2 of these–Sunset Cruise, a coral/peach that would look great on you and Suede Splash, a brownish peach. I’d like to get Iced Iris and Blush Basin when they go on sale. Not super moisturizing, but better than most.
Oh, now I’m going to have to check out both those shades that you bought!
I am so impressed with the reviews I’m seeing on these lippies. I need to go out and find me some because I think I’ll love them 🙂

I think you will love them too, Honey! I think they have some nice purple shades
Oh gosh, the red looks amazing on you! I’ve been curious to see reviews on this product and I think I’d give it a shot after reading your review. Thanks for sharing xo
Thank you, Brigette! It’s a great shade for sure. Although on my super dry lips, it isn’t moisturizing, it also is not drying which is a big plus for me. And I found it to be fairly long wearing. The best part is the saturated color and the lightweight feel. I think you’d like the new Burt’s Bees lippies!
What a lovely shade of red from Burt Bee’s…I am getting closer to buying new lipstick after February cause I am so ready for new Spring!

I hear you! Take a look at these, Ursula. The shade range and pigmentation are lovely!
This red was created for you, wasn’t it?
I need to pick up one of these and try it. Every review I have read of these has been glowing, so they must be excellent.
