Burt's Bees started to create lip products in 1991 with the company's best selling lip balm that was created from a 19th Century recipe. Since then Burt's Bees have continued to launch more and more products using natural ingredients that have become customer favourites all over the world.

Recently Burt's Bees launched a new range of lipsticks and I was sent a couple to try out, I was happy to receive two darker shades; *522 Crimson Coast and *531 Juniper Water, both of which have red and purple tones in them.

The new range of lipsticks in a nutshell; has 18 shades to choose from, are all 100% natural, have intense full coverage colour, 8 hours of moisture and smooth/satin finishes. Each lipstick contains moisturising ingredients including Raspberry Seed Oil, Vitamin E, Beeswax and Moringa Oil, these help to keep your lips moisturised, soft and smooth whilst not drying out your lips. Even the packaging is made from recycled plastic, this gives the whole product a natural feel. I've been trying out both the lipsticks I was sent over the past few weeks and now can tell you what I think.


First of all these shades are right up my street being plum/red shades which are my go to lipstick colours; I personally feel more comfortable in darker shades of lipstick. There is some nude and pink shades in the range for everyone who likes a lighter colour on their lips. I am really happy the lipsticks are 100% natural, its good to know were the ingredients are from and that they aren't harming anything.

The Crimson Coast lipstick is a beautiful red shade that will work with any makeup look, I personally think everyone can rock a red lip. This lipstick can be built up on your lips for a more intense shade or worn as a sheer but still colourful lipstick with just one application.
