It is fair to say that I am a huge Burt's Bees fan, whether it is the skincare or the makeup, I love it and I am yet to feel disappointed by anything I have tried. Imagine my delight to learn there was to be a brand new launch featuring 18 lipsticks - yes EIGHTEEN!!
Burt's Bees New 100% Natural Lipstick collection deliver luscious, bold colour which moisturises your lips thanks to the use of Beeswax, Moringa Oil, Mimosa Flower Wax and Raspberry Seed Oil. So a lipstick that cares for your lips as you wear it.
What I love about these lipsticks is their texture, not only do they feel more like a balm than a lipstick, they are incredibly creamy and just hug your lips but at the same time are so lightweight you don't even know that you are wearing anything on your lips.
Fully pigmented with a satin finish, these lipsticks are broken down into different colour groups and given the wide variety of shades, there is definitely something for everyone.
So with the Pinks and Corals, there is five to choose from:
So with the Pinks and Corals, there is five to choose from:
- Iced Iris - If you like your creamy bubble gum pink shade then this is the one for you.
- Doused Rose - For me, this is a deep rose shade that has slight hints of mauve.
- Fuschia Flood - A medium light Purple Pink shade
- Magenta Rush - A medium reddy fuchsia shade
- Sunset Cruise - This is a really pretty medium coral shade.
- Nile Nude - A light beige nude almost reminds me of the Kim Kardashian nude!
- Blush Basin - This has a peachy-pinkish sheen to it and is stunning.
- Suede Splash - A shade I didn't think I would like but do. It is a medium brownish mauve, the perfect daily nude.
The red family come next and no lipstick collection would be complete with a red, though in this case there is four to choose from and they are:
- Scarlet Soaked - This is a medium red shade with Coral undertones.
- Crimson Coast - This is a deep ruby red shade but it has hints of purple
- Ruby Ripple - No doubting it, this one if your classic medium dark Red
- Russet River - This one if a dark almost vampy brownish red
Sadly I don't have Scarlet Soaked, in my box, there are two Ruby Ripple shades.
Which means the final six lipsticks belong to my favourite Plums and Berries and the choices here include:
- Tulip Tide - This one is a cool pink’ish nude.
- Wine Wave - I adore this shade and it is a deep, warm plum
- Lily Lake - This one is a medium brownish mauve and one I have worn more than any of the other shades during the daytime
- Brimming Berry - This one is a warm berry pink shade
- Juniper Water - The kind of shade everyone needs in their stash. This is a vampy oxblood, burgundy-red shade
- Orchid Ocean - This is an intense shade of purple
I am sure you will agree that this is one impressive release of lipsticks and choosing a favourite colour is quite hard. What I am most impressed with is how long the lipstick lasts once applied and without question these are one of the longest lasting lipsticks, colour wise, that I own and you do get at least 7 hours wear, during that time I have never felt the need to re-apply or even add lip balm which is a slight worry for a lip balm addict with an ever increasing stash. Priced at £9.99 each, these Burt's Bees lipsticks are made with recyclable packaging and are free of parabens, phthalates, petrolatum and SLS.
