Burts Bees tinted lip balm petunia review

I am a self proclaimed lip balm addict and you will notice I have reviewed other lip balms as well. For some reason Burts Bees tinted lip balm has snuck under my radar, until today. What an amazing product! So here is the thing, generally if you are a lip balm person you don't use lip stick. As a matter of fact I hate everything about lip stick, it leaves a funny taste, it gets on your teeth, you might get it on your clothes.....yuck! However I would like to have a little color on my lips. Burts Bees goes on like a nice smooth lip balm and has a very subtle amount of color that is absolutely perfect. The petunia shade is a very light natural pink that I just love. I'm a huge fan of this and I look forward to testing out some other shades. Let me know what you think of Burts Bees.

Alba coconut cream lip balm review

I'm a self proclaimed lip balm addict,(add it to the other addictions like wine, chocolate, cheese, Porn). Anyway my true preference is coconut lip balm because I love all things coconut, so I'm always searching for coconut lip balm and when I find them I usually buy them in bulk as any true addict would. I came across Alba coconut cream on Ebay and I bought five for about five bucks. I get so excited when things I'm dying to try show up in the mail. I tore open the bag and couldn't wait to get it on my lips. First let me say I'm not all the picky about lip balms but I'm not a fan if they have SPF because often it leaves a bad taste in mouth.(check out my review of Hive lip balm, different post). Well here is where I keep it real, I didn't like this product. It isn't really coconut to me, I don't like the texture, and I don't like the taste it leaves behind. I guess I didn't like anything about this product which really bummed me out. Don't get me wrong, I will use it in a pinch but I just don't like it. You win some you lose some. Let me know your favorite lip balm.

Hive coconut lip balm review

My name is Laura and Im addicted to lip balm, thats how it goes at the meeting right? I have been addicted to lip balm for as long as I can remember. My best friend used to call it my crack. I have them hidden the way an asthmatic has inhalers. I will use anything when Im desperate but my absolute favorite is coconut flavored and you dont see them often. I have bought them in bulk in ebay when I have come across coconut. I had a friend recently come across Hive lip balm in coconut so she got it for me. First of all as a rule I generally dont like lip balms with sunscreen because I think they leave a funny after taste in your mouth so I try to always get one without. When I saw that the Hive had a 15 SPF I was pretty certain I wouldnt like it but to my surprise I really like this stuff. It goes on nice and gives lips a shine, and I do not notice any taste except for yummy coconut. Im not sure how much they are as I didnt buy it however when I went on their website all proceeds go to charities, I love that. Good product good company. Two thumbs up!
