Burt’s Bees Blush, Petunia, & Autumn Haze swatches, reviews | 3 Lip Launches Worth Buzzing About

Burt's Bees Lip Gloss review swatches - Autumn Haze

The products: Burt’s Bees Lip Shine in Blush, Tinted Lip Balm in Petunia, and Lip Gloss in Autumn Haze

Burt’s Bees Blush Lip Shine ($7.00 USD/$9.99 CAD)

Burt’s new Lip Shine is the star of the show for me, so I have to lead with it, of course. Blush is a sheer, shiny light pink, and the Lip Shine formula is everything that the now-retired Super Shiny formula wished it was: glossy, lightly hydrating, softly tinted, and completely non-sticky. What really seals the deal for me, though, is the Lip Shines’ mouthwateringly delicious scent. I’ve run into great-smelling lip balms before, but nothing quite like this — they call it a “natural apricot fragrance,” but it’s so much tastier than that.

Burt’s Bees Lip Shine in Blush

Despite not being much of a gloss girl and liking a bit more of a tint in my lip products, I can’t stop using this gloss. I think I’m going to need a few more shades (uhh, like maybe the other five), because I’m going through my tube like there’s no tomorrow.

Burt’s Bees Lip Shine ingredients:

Castor seed oil, oleic/linoleic/linolenic polyglycerides, sunflower seed oil, lanolin, silica, beeswax, acacia decurrens/jojoba/sunflower seed wax, polyglyceryl-3 esters, natural flavour, apricot kernel oil (& hydrogenated, unsaponifiables), shea butter, cocoa seed butter, tocopherol, ammonium glycyrrhizate, soybean oil, alumina. +/- carmine, CI 77491, CI 77492, iron oxides, titanium dioxide.

Petunia Tinted Lip Balm ($7.00 USD/$7.99 CAD)

I told you how much I loved the Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balms when they launched, and Petunia is no different. The brand launched four new shades in this range this past January (the others are Sweet Violet, Caramel Daisy, and Blush Orchid), and this soft pink balm has secured itself a place in my handbag for lazy days.

Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Petunia

It’s a lot more sheer than my first shade (Pink Blossom), but this almost-clear balm is still comfortable, lightly scented, and moderately hydrating.

And as a bonus: You know that chunky cardboard tube that these come in? Burt’s recommends using them to store bobby pins or cotton swabs — not only are they recyclable and 60% recycled, but they’re reusable, too.

Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm ingredients:

Coconut oil, vegetable oil, beeswax, olive oil, candelilla wax, sunflower seed oil, natural flavour, lanolin, shea butter, castor seed oil, cananga odorata flower wax, jasmine flower wax, ammonium glycyrrhizinate, tocopherol, rosemary leaf extract, soybean oil, canola oil. +/- alumina, titanium dioxide, carmine, CI 77491, CI 77492, iron oxides.

Swatched L-R: Burt’s Bees Autumn Haze, Blush, and Petunia

Autumn Haze Lip Gloss ($9.00 USD/$12.99 CAD)

The new Lip Glosses (which launched this past February) are just as comfortable as the Tinted Lip Balms and Lip Shines, but Autumn Haze isn’t really my colour. I wear shimmer-free pink lips almost exclusively, and the slightly frosty gold shimmer of this sheer, peachy nude just didn’t do it for me. Burts Bees lip reviews - 2013 launches

Burt’s Bees Lip Bloss, Tinted Lip Balm, & Lip Shine

Burt’s and his bees promised “long-lasting, rich colour” with these, but they didn’t really deliver. I’d like to try one of the darker shades, maybe–something like Ruby Moon or Starry Night–to see how they fare, but I think these vanilla-scented doe-foot glosses might just be too shimmery and sheer for me. They do have great packaging, though; I’ll give them that!

Burt’s Bees Lip Gloss Ingredients:

Castor seed oil, oleic/linoleic/linolenic polyglycerides, beeswax, natural flavour, silica, sunflower seed oil, olive fruit oil, jojoba esters, ammonium glycyrrhizate, tocopherol, soybean oil. +/- bismuth oxychloride, tin oxide, iron oxides, mica, carmine, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide.
