Review (4/5): They work!
My favorite lip balms were Burts bees. Unfortunately, I am allergic to topical soy. And Burts bees uses it in all of their lip products. A number of places do. So I’ve been searching for replacements.
These work. They do a great job of moisturizing, the colors are not muddy which I find with a lot of natural products the colors aren’t pure or they’re always very brown toned which does not look good on me. But the colors aren’t real colorful. They aren’t deeply pigmented. I prefer to use a tinted lip balm than a lipstick, but I need a little color. And the shimmer wasn’t very shimmery.
But if you don’t like a lot of color these are really great. They’re not hard, and they are not greasy and slippery and sticky. They are spot on for lip balms. As I’ve said I’ve been looking, and some of them I’ve tried are really greasy and slimy. These are not — they are very good balms, just not as pigmented as I would like.
By the way, my lips and my skin our dryer. Even so I don’t like to slather things on. So basically at night these are what I use before I go to bed.
