Lip balms, serums, treatments, enhancers, volumisers…it’s a big year for lips this year. After trying dozens of lip balms for the Awards on Tuesday 15th, I kept coming back to a couple of them and one of them was Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm – above, right.  I’ve since bought the Squeezable version (left) which seems to taste marginally more minty and because it’s more liquidy, it adds a “gloss” effect while the original stick version is more waxy, more “I’m off for a 3-hr walk up the mountain – see ya!”
I use the stick/twist-up one at home and the squeezy tube, which has a slant-lip applicator, lives in my handbag. The ingredients are slightly different between the two, by the way (as you’d guess from the stick v. liquidy gloss texture), the Squeezable one also has castor seed and vegetable oil and cocoa seed butter in it, which are not in the stick-balm version.
Put it in a tin £4.99
Like so many people I’m a loyal Burt’s Bees Lip Balm fan and this version tops the lot (for me anyway). There are loads of other varieties at Burtsbees.co.uk – from Honey to Wild Cherry, Refreshing, Replenishing, Coconut and Pear…etc.  – I’ve also got my eyes on the Ultra Conditioning Lip Treatment which I haven’t tried yet.
 

Haven’t tried this one yet…have you" £3.99
