Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm Tin 3 oz Review

I usually don't buy Burt's Bees products because they have been very hit-or-miss for me.  In fact, I tried this product once before in the stick form and was disappointed with it.  I had to spend ten minutes browsing around in a drug store last week while I was waiting for a prescription to be filled.  Of course I wound up buying a few items in the line, including this lip balm.  I like it better in the 0.3 ounce tin but it still isn't something that I'm totally crazy about.

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm contains coconut oil, sweet almond oil, peppermint oil, vitamin E, lanolin, comfrey root extract, and, of course, beeswax.  The tin describes it as "soothing, cooling, (and) refreshing."  The balm itself is a translucent white and has a strong but very pleasant peppermint scent.

It's easy enough to apply this product to lips.  I had to create a little divot into it at first, but then it was easy to scoop out the balm and smooth it across my mouth.  It goes on in a slightly thick layer which is how I do prefer my lip balms.  The peppermint oil in Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm makes my mouth feel very cool and tingly.  Personally, I enjoy the sensation but others may not like it.  Whenever I put this product on my lips, I think to myself "wow I really do like this stuff!"

...and then about 5 minutes later I find myself thinking "man, this stuff disappears so quickly."  This balm absorbs very quickly into lips which means I have to reapply it often.  It's inconvenient but not so annoying that I wouldn't buy it again.  I like the the thickness, the ease of application, and the lovely cooling/tingling sensation that it creates on my mouth.  I don't remember exactly what I paid for it... but I want to say something like $5.  I would definitely buy it again.
