I've been a long time user of Burt's Bees. While I'm not much of a fan of their body care products, they keep feeding my lip balm addiction!Look/First Impressions: I love the Burt's Bees packaging. The yellow and red color scheme, plus the style of artwork makes the products easily recognizable. Old man Burt makes me feel like I'm using something grandpa formulated especially for me. I was especially lured by the verb "replenishing", since it gives me the impression of soft, full lips.
Smell/Taste: Wow! Its got a strong, tart smell, that reminds me of sour-patch kids. Luckily, it doesn't taste like them or I'd have thrown it out. The balm itself is a deep red color, like the cap, which comes from the addition of carmine.
Feel: After using the very thin Eco Lips for a week, this feels wonderfully thick. I find that Burt's Bees can sometimes be a little hard, and it takes a few swipes for a good coating. Sometimes, I just scrape some off the top with my fingernail (as if it were a tin), and rub it into my lips. This seems to soak in right away and make my lips very soft. I need fewer re-applications to maintain nice feeling lips.
Overall: Keep up the good work, Burt! 4.5 out of 5 Stars. (website)
