Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil — 

One of the things that winter brings is chapped lips, and I've had my fair share this year.  Nothing can be more annoying that dry cracked lips that burn and feel yucky when you run your tongue over your lips.  You know the feeling?  It feels horrible!  One of the products I used this winder and am still using frequently to combat the situation is Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil

Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil

This product comes in a tube like normal chap stick that contains .15 oz. of lip balm.  I chose the pomegranate formula because of all the hype in the news about pomegranate being a natural antioxidant, so figured it couldn't hurt and maybe even speed up the healing process on my dry and cracked lips. 

If you are not familiar with Burt's Bees products, they are made from all natural ingredients and they do not test products on animals.  I appreciate both of these efforts very much.

My Thoughts

First of all I wasn't sure if this lip balm was supposed to just smell like pomegranates or smell and taste like pomegranates.  In the fragrance department, I thought they came pretty close to a pomegranate scent, but the balm itself did not taste anything like a pomegranate.  This didn't really matter so much to me, but I did want to see a good performance on healing my chapped lips.

The balm glides on smoothly and feels pretty good to dry and parched lips.  I like the fact that this product is made from natural ingredients.  There are several natural ingredients in this product that help heal and moisturize your lips, such as sunflower seed oil, coconut oil, beeswax, castor oil, pomegranate seed oil, and soybean oil. 
 
I have to say that Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil worked pretty good for me.  It certainly didn't do any harm!  It does provide relief for dry and cracked lips and helps them heal quicker.  If given a choice between regular chap stick and this product, I would still choose this one.  It probably isn't the best on the market, but it is far from the worse. 

I like it!

I have no idea what the flavor is either, but it does work pretty well. A little pricey, I thought, but much better than waxy lip balms.
