I bought this because I love all other Burt's Bees products. I have to say I was very disappointed. The color is ok but what bothered me the most is the texture of it, the smell and the taste. ...

I got this for really cheap: on sale at CVS. I'm asian. The color is rather ridiculous at first. I still like the brand (and the signature mintly ting) and the color is beginning to grow on me....

I can't believe the low rating on this. This was my first lip shimmer. I have merlot, raisin, 2 nutmegs, papaya, fig, rhubarb, and this. This on me is a rust color that works well on my light...

I'm obviously in a minority here, but I love the color! My lips are too thin to get away with dark lipstick, so this is a great substitute. The color is really not that dark, IMHO. I'd describe it...

I love all of the lip shimmers, but this color is my favorite. It is the perfect terracotta color for my golden, medium tan complextion. The color pay off is really nice and quite long lasting. ...

thankfully this was a gift because the color does not work for me at all. i think medium skintones should stay away from this color because it is a combination of red and brown that is very...

Just bought one in Coffee, its looks horrible. It's kind of dry to put on, doesn't go smoothly on my lips. I still have to use my Burt's Bees balm to soften my lips. I would not be buying this...

I am surprised so many people didn't like this. I like the slim packaging, the color is nice on me, a brownish red, but not too dark. I don't like to wear dark colors on my lips, this is a bit...

First of all, the color. It is not the least bit brown on me. It turns bright pink. Ugh. Second of all, it's wayyy too soft. This is exacerbated by the fact that you can't retract it once you're...

I am now on my third tube of this stuff. A gorgeous brick with very subtle dark pink shimmer that makes lips very lush. Goes on easily and is never overpowering in color--but don't expect a...

I like and can't stand this product in equal measure. This is the unpredictable chameleon in my lip product arsenal. Some days it looks like a fabulous red spice on me, and other days it's a...

I have one of these in Nutmeg, and really love it, so I tried Coffee. I was hoping for a sheer brown with a little shimmer, but it's a pretty pigmented reddish pink, which looks bad on my medium...

I really like this product, although this shade is a bit too dark. The tingly cool feeling on the lips is nice, as well as the smell and taste (kind of a peppermint flavor/scent). I would like to...

Nice formula, wrong color for me. I love BB lip balm in a tin, and the texture of this is very similar. I like the slimline tube, too, as it's easy to apply precisely. I appreciate the all-natural...

Hmmm, I've noticed some people saying that this color is too warm and orangish, and someone else saying it ended up fuchia. I had the latter problem. I was expecting something slightly brownish...

The darker Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers (Coffee, Merlot, Raisin) all seem to be quite pigmented, which really isn't a complaint of mine, as they work perfectly as lipsticks. For those who feel that...
