Burt's Bees Lipstick Nile Nude #500 |
A few years ago I used to use pretty much only natural products. I kind of strayed away from that and recently when I saw that Burt's Bees had come out with some all natural lipsticks I got the urge to give one a try.
There are 14 shades in the line, but of course, I chose a nude shade since that's about all that looks decent on me. I went with the lightest shade Nile Nude #500.
These retail for $9.99 but I purchased mine on Amazon.ca for $7.99.

You get 3.4 grams of product.
The packaging is very lightweight and what's nice is the colour on the packaging matches the lip colour.

This colour is a nice pinky-nude. I would say it's a pretty typical nude. It's a cream formula without any shimmer. It glides on nicely. It's somewhat moisturizing but not as much as I'd like since I have super dry lips. I found the wear time to be average for this type of lipstick. I would say about 2 hours without eating. This colour doesn't leave any type of stain behind.
Oddly, it seems to swatch much darker on my hand than it does on my lips. Odd since my lips have some pigmentation and that usually darkens a lipstick.

Worn here without any lip liner or gloss.
I have really dry dehydrated lips. This product is fairly comfortable but as you can see this colour does accentuate dry patches on my lips, up close you can really see it. If your lips are in better condition than mine, you may not have this issue. I find that it's not as shiny in person as it's showing up in these photos but the colour looks true. I am interested in trying another colour to see if it also clings to dry patches or if it's just this colour. I have my eye on the other nude shade called Blushed Basin, it's a darker nude.
A makeup look wearing Nile Nude. Not sure why I look shocked. Clearly not the selfie queen! lol
I would rate this lipstick 4/5. Losing points for this shade clinging to dry patches which I take 1/2 the blame for because my lips are in such bad condition. I do appreciate that it's 100% natural, comfortable on the lips, and the colour is great for every day. I find myself reaching for this all the time.
Burt's Bees is cruelty-free although the parent company is not at the time of this posting.
Have you tried any lipsticks from this line? I'd love to hear what ones you recommend.
