Burt's Bees | Squeezy Tinted Balm

Packaging:

The Burt's Bees Squeezy Tinted Balms are packaged in a simple plastic squeezable tube. Unfortunately, the tube does not come with a slanted nozzle dispenser so you will have to use your fingertip or a lip brush to apply the balm, which is not very convenient, especially for a product suitable for applications on the go. Of course, you can directly apply the balm onto the lips straight from the tube but it might get a bit messy, especially with the more pigmented shades.

Formulation:

Made with responsibly sourced beeswax and nourishing cocoa butter, the Squeezy Tinted Balm is available in four fruit-inspired shades. The formulation appears quite thick in the tube but it melts upon contact with the lips, leaving behind an almost liquid-balm, shiny finish. Depending on the shade, there's actually quite a bit of color so a little goes a long way. The slick, smoothing formulation is definitely hydrating but it's also prone to transferring and fading. My favorite thing about these is the yummy fragrance; each shade has a unique fruity scent. See below for a description of all four shades.

Mandarin Granita: With a sweet citrus scent, this is a lovely brick red sprinkled with a fine dash of shimmers.

Sweet Peach: This is a pale peach nude with no shimmers. The shade has a soft peach scent.

Berry Sweet: A natural and flattering pink, this berry-scented balm has a very subtle hint of shimmers.

Watermelon Rush: This is a shimmer-free reddish pink. It has a refreshing watermelon scent.
