REVIEW: BURT'S BEES LIPSTICK & BB CREAM
When the latest from Burt's Bees hit my desk I was excited to start swatching right away! The new lipsticks come in 14 shades like Suede Splash (a flattering brown-rose), Sunset Cruise (pinky-coral) and Scarlet Soaked (luscious orange-red) and my fave Russet River (a red based brown that's easy to wear yet dramatic). The formula is 100% natural, highly moisturizing and feel as comfortable to wear as lip balm. With a satin finish, they are slightly sheer which is perfect for hot summer days. For a bolder look just add lip liner underneath!
NUDES - Nile Nude 500 (cool based nude), Blush Basin 501 (neutral pink nude), Suede Splash 502 (warm nude)
PLUMS / BROWNS - Lily Lake 530 (cool mauve rose), Juniper Water 531 (classic plum), Russet River 532 (warm red based brown)
REDS - Scarlet Soaked 520 (warm orange red), Ruby Ripple 521 (cool red), Sunset Cruise 523 (neutral pinky coral)
PURPLES - Brimming Berry 514 (classic berry), Tulip Tide 515 (cool lilac)
PINKS: Iced Iris 510 (bubblegum pink), Magenta Rush 511 (classic magenta), Fuchsia Flood 512 (cool pink)
WEARING BURT'S BEES LIPSTICKS IN: Russet River, Scarlet Soaked, Magenta Rush, Brimming Berry and Suede Splash with Lisbeth necklace and James Perse t-shirt.
BB CREAM WITH SPF 15 - Medium, Light - Medium, Light
In addition to the new lippies, Burt's Bees has also launched their BB Cream with SPF 15. If you're like me, you would have already swapped out your foundation for a lighter wearing tinted moisturizer with sun protection. I prefer using sheer makeup in the hotter months because it looks more natural in the sun. Plus - who wants cake face in 30-degree weather? This BB Cream goes on easy with your fingers (no beautyblender required!) and looks dewy and natural on the skin which I love! It comes in 3 shades, Light, Light-Medium and Medium. Right now I'm using Light-Medium but I'll probably switch to Medium in the summer for a bronzed look.
