Middle of the road for Burt's Bees

Burt's Bees lip balm is a luxury that I pounce on every time it's on sale, and with good reason! This was no different: I didn't choose the flavor, it came as part of a value pack. Coolly refreshing, Cucumber Mint is an absolutely lovely scent, and the texture of the lip balm is softer than the classic Burt's. That said, the lasting power is - as it is in many of their flavored balms - significantly less fantastic than the original. I find myself with a thinner coat of lip balm that dries up more rapidly than classic Burt's, and though it's still a cut above the rest in terms of quality, it just doesn't meet my standards for Burt's Bees. All that said, though, if you see it on sale, jump on it! There's no residue, no metallic taste, all-natural ingredients and it really does smell like a fresh summer's day. It's just that if they have the classic on for the same price, your lips would thank you to take that instead.
