I do always have at least one of these in my bag as I love the fact my lips tingle when I apply it and also the peppermintiness helps freshen breath too.
Burt's stuff is all natural and not tested on animals so great ethics.
My husband was not too keen when we shared bottles of water when travelling as it made the bottle taste minty but I was happy with that!

I only ever buy these on special offer as I think £5 is quite a lot for a lipo balm

Easy to use, gorgeous colours, leaves lips really moisturised
Weakest points
No shimmer but that is a good thing and not noticed the flavours??
Summary
I have a few of these in different shades/flavours but I am not sure where the actual flavour is? I think it might just be the colour?
Anyway, it is really easy to apply and lips are very coloured. Not thin and the colours are very vibrant.
Colour lasts too and lips tingle from the mint, I think? Not sure but it is quite cooling anyway.
Thin and easy to store in bags, purses..
Leaves lips feeling and looking great!

Ok shimmer tint, small tube nice size of handbag, moisturising,
Weakest points
More of a minty smell and zingy feel to lips, not great lasting.
Summary
I find this product a novelty lip balm. Im not quite sure where the watermelon comes into it as I couldnt smell or taste it. More of a minty fresh feel to lips.
Overall an ok balm but think there are better ones out there,

The packaging is tiny, so very handbag friendly but very slim. If you have thinner lips, you might appreciate these but I don't and it takes me ages to fill in my lips with the stick and I'm not convinced I get good coverage. They also seem a little patchy. A rare fail from Burt's Bees.
