Now I don't know about you but I've been a big fan of Burt's Bees for a while now, so the news that they had some new lip products hitting the shelves was one I definitely welcomed!
They've joined up with Justine Jenkins, a makeup artist who focuses on ethical and cruelty-free makeup, to bring together their latest products in 3 different lip looks: vibrant pink, bold red and radiant nude.
There's everything you need from the preparation stage right through to the final touch, so let's take a look at what's on offer:

There's everything you need from the preparation stage right through to the final touch, so let's take a look at what's on offer:
- Moisturising Lip Mask RRP £4.99 (1 mask). This lip mask is designed to instantly hydrate your lips, with some nourishing Meadowfoam Seed and Almond Oils. You simply apply, leave for 5 minutes to do it's magic and then massage in anything left over.
- Conditioning Lip Scrub RRP £6.99 (7g). If like me you have constantly chapped lips, this will buff away the dead skin, hopefully leaving your lips soft and lipstick ready underneath. Use like any other scrub by massaging in and then gently wiping away. Use 2-3 times a week.
- Overnight Intensive Lip Treatment RRP £6.99 (7g). This works best when paired with the lip scrub and you simply apply before bed and let it sink in for soft lips in the morning.
Onto colour and there are two different types of lipstick that give you the choice of finish you want.
- Glossy Lipsticks RRP £9.99. These come in 6 shades; Peony Dew, Rose Falls, Nude Mist, Pink Pool, Blush Ripple and Nude Rain (love the names). They'll give you rich long-lasting colour while keeping the moisture locked in.
- Satin Lipsticks RRP £9.99. There's 18 shades for this finish; Iced Iris, Fuschia Flood, Doused Rose, Magenta Rush, Sunset Cruise, Nile Nude, Blush Basin, Scarlet Soaked, Suede Splash, Ruby Ripple, Crimson Coast, Tulip Tide, Wine Wave, Lily Lake, Brimming Berry, Juniper Water, Orchid Ocean and Russet River. Like the glossy lipsticks these will give you gorgeous colour that'll last all day while caring for your lips with lots of moisturising ingredients!
If it's not lipstick you're after there's still plenty of choice for to bring some colour to your lips:
- Tinted Lip Oil RRP £9.99. These melt onto your lips for some sheer colour that brings bags of hydration and shine on their own or on top of a lipstick. It's non-sticky and comes in 6 shades; Showering Sunset, Whispering Orchid, Rustling Rose, Misted Plum, Crimson Breeze and Caramel Cloud.
- Gloss Lip Crayon RRP £9.99. For a more velvety finish but still with some gloss this crayon allows precise application (great for on the go) in 6 shades; Pink Lagoon, Santorini Sunrise, Outback Oasis,Tahitian Sunset, Pacific Coast and Bordeaux Vines.
- Matte Lip Crayon RRP £9.99. Like it's glossier sister but matte it still has that moisture rich formula to keep your lips happy and looking great. Again 6 shades to choose from; Sedona Sands, Carolina Coast, Hawaiian Smolder, Napa Vineyard, Niagra Outlook and Redwood Forest.
- Lip Gloss RRP £8.99. Keeping it simple this gloss brings shine and moisture to your lips when used alone or as a final touch with a pearlescent finish that'll keep all eyes on you. In 12 (again gorgeous) shades; Autumn Haze, Sweet Sunset, Sunny Day, Ocean Sunrise, Harvest Time, Solar Eclipse, Spring Splendor, Rosy Dawn, Summer Twilight, Evening Glow, Nearly Dusk and Starry Night.

- Lip Shimmer RRP £6.99. Want a simply, easy hit of colour and shimmer to subtely bring the attention to your lips? This is for you. 11 beautiful shades that'll make you feel fruity; Apricot, Grapefruit, Guava, Caramel, Strawberry, Peony, Fig, Plum, Watermelon, Rhubarb and Cherry.
- Tinted Lip Balm RRP £5.99. A good friend of mine, I'm rarely without one of these in my bag or pocket! A really beautiful hint of colour that makes your lips feel hydrated and cared for, and can be worn alone or over the top of a lipstick (My Tip: it's great for touching up, especially after meals). 6 shades: Red Dhalia, Rose, Pink Blossom, Sweet Violet, Zinnia and Hibiscus.
The lip colour products are all available from Boots, John Lewis, Debenhams, Marks and Spencers, Superdrug, Holland and Barrett, Feelunique.com, Lookfantastic.com and Amazon.co.uk.
The lip mask can be found at Holland and Barrett, and the lip scrub and conditioning treatment is available from Feelunique.com, LookFantastic.com and Amazon.co.uk.
Really the only issue with the new range is how do you choose which to buy?!?!?!?! They all look and sound amazing so it's going to be hard to pick!
I'm looking forward to trying some of these out myself (I'll let you know how I get on) and if you try any of them, be sure to drop me a comment below (or on social media) with your thoughts.
