Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil Review

Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil is an interesting twist on my favorite original Burt's Bees lip balm. I was eager to try this variety, but I have to say I was less than impressed.

First off, the balm itself is a rich red color, but the product doesn't really tint your lips. Instead, it leaves your lips a bit glossy looking with a slight hint of pink. It actually looks very pretty on, but I was turned off completely by the scent.

While others seem to love the scent and taste of this replenishing balm, I thought it was absolutely disgusting. I'm a huge fan of lip balm, but if the smell or taste is off I can't justify using it. The scent is way too sweet, almost sickly sweet, and the taste is just as bad. I accidentally licked my lips while wearing this balm and I was seriously disgusted.

The balm itself does have decent moisturizing properties and left my lips quite soft, but I can't get over the taste and smell. That is why this balm only gets 3 stars. I'll stick with the original Burt's Bees lip balm with the refreshing tingle I've come to love, and give Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil a pass.
