Well, it’s been confirmed. I thought I initially liked the Burt’s Bees pomegranate replenishing lip balm, but I think I was too swayed by the cool bright red color which gave a bit of a pinkish/healthy tint to the lips and the luscious taste of the product.
I had the pomegranate in addition to my original Burt’s Bees lip balm, as well as my Honey Burt’s Bees in my purse, and I found that it seemed like everytime I used the pomegranate it actually ended up drying my lips out more than before I used it. I still gave it a good review though, because I liked the way it seemed to not be waxy and just glide right on and taste so good.
It felt good on my lips at first, but I noticed, unlike the waxier types of lip balms, which I thought I didn’t like, it actually didn’t coat my lips the way it needed to, and didn’t even stay put very long, resulting in drier lips. I feel like when I use the waxier types of balms, it makes my lips look a bit naturally plumper because it also fills in the lines that tend to make lips look dry and deflated.
When a friend of mine bought the same lip balm, she asked me if I noticed a dryness, and that’s when I knew I wasn’t just being too picky or anal – it does dry the lips. I would only recommend the Burts Bee’s original or Honey now, so sorry I gave a it a good review at first! Sometimes when you initially think you like a product, it’s easy to jump the gun!
