"Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer has almost replaced my regular lip balm. It gives my lips shine with subtle color, which is perfect for summer, on its own, and will be just as nice in winter, over lipstick. The minty application stings a little (similar to DuWop's Lip Venom), but it quickly calms down into a delicious tingle that reminds me my lips are looking luscious. The Lip Shimmers go on smooth and stay soft and moisturizing. I have purchased Shimmers in Rhubard, Nutmeg, Fig, Papaya, Merlot, and Raisin. Finally, I am impressed that this product has been tested by the Environmental Work Group and found to be safe. If you can read, pronounce, and understand all the ingredients in a skincare product, it has to be a good thing, and Burt's Bees has signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics. All around 5 stars."
