Sometimes a girl needs a healthy dose of shimmer.

Tuesday, May 6, 2014
Bees are exquisite creatures...aside from being visually stunning (got to love a gold + black color scheme), they product a wealth of natural resources; from wax to honey (both favorites in my life!), the resourcefulness of bees is peerless!  I recently had the chance to try a spectrum of lip products from the esteemed Burt's Bees line.  Renown for eco-friendly, cruelty-free practices, Burt's Bees offers distinctly gorgeous formulas for all beauty preferences.
First up is the Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Sweet Violet .  This nourishing, Shea butter-infused balm is surprisingly pigmented and offers a wash of silky, slightly shiny hydration that lasts for hours.  Sweet Violet is a cool-toned, "my lips but better" pink shade that is simultaneous subdued and modern.  Great to slick on for some instant polish, even without a mirror!
Sometimes a girl needs a healthy dose of shimmer.  That being said, the shimmer of the Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer is Peony is refreshingly lip dermatitis restrained lip dermatitis yet luminous.  The delicate, moisturizing formula offers a gossamer wash of barely there color with a decidedly radiant finish.  Peony is a soft, pale pink with silver undertones.
One of the latest products in the Burt's Bees collection is its lip gloss, which is  lip dermatitis 100% natural lip gloss free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates and petrochemicals!   Smooth and glowing, with a perfect harmony of pigment and light-reflecting shimmer, Spring Splendor is a non-sticky and bemusing medium rose shade.   Above: The Burt's Bees lip gloss comes with a velvet-flocked lip dermatitis doe foot applicator for precision application.

Finally, the recently-released Burt's Bees Lip Shine in Pucker is infused with Apricot Wax, which glides over the lips with ease, leaving an insanely shiny finish in its wake.  Lacking shimmer, this formula harnesses the power of ultra-reflective, mirror-like lip dermatitis shine for an eye-catching effect.  Pucker is a sheer berry shade.

Due to the vast array of textures and finishes offered in the Burt's Bees line, I highly suggest experimenting with layering them for a customized effect.  Balms + shimmers + glosses + lip shines = endless possibilities!

Hi, I have used the tinted lip balm in Petunia and loved the slight colour lip dermatitis it imparts. They are also very moisturising for my very dry lips. This makes me want to try a few more of their products. Thanks for the ideas to layer them together. Take care and talk soon Julie xxx Reply Delete
Hello Julie! Isn't the tinted lip dermatitis lip balm amazing? I love its texture and hydration powers! For me, layering is a must when it comes to lip color...it's creative but, even better, it helps those of us who are indecisive when it comes to committing to a single shade ; ) xoxo and talk soon, --The Beauty Professor Delete
