I received this lip shimmer in the Burt's Bee's grab bag; I would never purchased this color myself. The color is so intensely dark and red that I feel like I am the joker from Batman whenever I...

I absolutely LOVE this stuff. This is the only lip balm I have ever found that has enough pigment for me. I have a few of these in different purses but I haven't seen them on shelves lately and I'm...

This shade is a bit dark for my taste, so I just dab it over my lips and then apply a nude lipgloss. I'm really liking it even the minty flavor. I would love to try the other shades. The only thing...

This is in my touch-up kit for winter. I've found that it is a much cheaper dupe for Lipstick Queen's Medieval, with the benefit of a minty balm. The color is not a spot-on match, but it is still...

I love it! It is so pretty if you are cool-toned and not afraid of wearing a true red. Normally I just dab it on lightly and it gives my lips a very natural hint of color. The shimmers have the...

I was very disappointed with this product. Initial color is nice when you first put it on; however, it fades really quickly! Does not have any staying power at all. You will be reapplying...

Silly me thought Merlot would be a wine color, or like black honey but it turned out to be dark red. Not like Raisin, which is a true red, but a dark bordering on fuscia red. Way darker than I am...

This has a great color, and it is smooth and very moisturizing. The berry color looks like you just ate a raspberry popsicle or had a good snog. It also works as a good cheek stain, and is a...

This can leave a beautiful lip stain if not applied heavily, which can be tough to do if it's your first time applying it. With this shade I have to be VERY light handed otherwise I'll look like...

I'm on my third tube of this. I agree with the last poster- it is wonderful as a creamy blush- long lasting, good, fresh color. Sometimes this color is fab on me, sometimes it isn't, depending on...

So I bought this balm along with a bunch of others from the same line, in an attempt to find one that's suitable for my skin. Along with most of the others, this balm is smooth and minty and highly...

My first go with these was the Toffee color, which is a frosty lavender/mauve. Nothing like toffee! I returned and bought the Merlot. Yikes! Can you say fuschia! My goodness, this is a bright...

The color was actually ok for me, but the consistency of the product was the problem. Maybe I got one that had been on the shelf too long?? I don't know, but it was extremely waxy and clumped. I...

People are giving these lip shimmers bad reviews because they don't like the colors!!! That seems strange to me since it's your job to find the right color for you. Anyway... I love all the lip...

Yes, this is 80's bright pink (remember the green mood lipstick? this is the same color that would turn on me) but if I blot it down and apply a layer of balm over it, it's a nice pink stain that...

Like the others, this appeared to be a bright fuschia color on my medium-dark NC43 skin. Not what I was looking for. Plus, the color bled a lot -- probably due to the consistency of the balm.
