Burt's Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm with Kokum Butter

This 100% natural lip balm made with Kokum Butter is one of the new additions to the Burt's Bees Lip Balm family. I got this about a month back when I wanted something very moisturizing for the cold weather since it claims to be "ultra conditioning".  Along with Kokum Butter, Cocoa and Shea Butter also provide moisture and comfort to dry lips.

The balm smells wonderful and does not have a waxy texture. It feels very slick, buttery and glides across dry lips coating it with moisture. It is very rich and looks a little glossy too. I've been using this for the past month and absolutely love the way it keeps my lips conditioned and soft. It does have a tendency to wear off sooner than the other lip balms from Burt's Bees because of its slick texture. But there's still a lot of moisture left behind to keep lips nourished. While using it under a lipstick, I apply and blot with a tissue to remove excess or just apply well before applying my lipstick and let it sink in. This is also one of my favourite balms to apply over a lip stain.

If you are looking for a rich, luxurious feeling lip balm with a super friendly price tag($4) for the winters, this is well worth a pick up. The buttery texture may melt during hot weather but for the colder months ahead, this is just perfect. Most drugstores seem to be out of this variant most of the time making it a little difficult to find. Just like other Burt's Bees lip balms, there's an insane amount of product in there that will last you ages!

What are your thoughts on the Burt's Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm with Kokum Butter?

  8. I have this lip balm and while I think it smells awesome, kind of citrus-y, my bf thinks it stinks. D:

    If you are more sensitive to smells may want to pass on this one, but personally I love it.
