A Pregnant Pause

I bought my first Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer (in Rhubarb) when I attended a meeting in New York one late winter.

The air (and the heating in hotels) can be rather drying that I knew I had to get a good lip gloss for my dry, chapped lips.

The beauty of Burt’s Bees’ lip gloss is that it is 100% natural. The main ingredient is of course, beeswax with vitamin E, coconut and sunflower oils.

The lip gloss already smells delicious even before you put it on!

I wanted to get their best-selling lip balm but it was out of stock at the organic shop I bought the lip gloss from. Nevertheless, the lip gloss is light, smooth and easy to apply.

I loved the colour and how my lips looked glossy (not shiny). Most importantly, I loved how the lip shimmer kept my lips moist in the dry environment.

Burt’s Bees guarantee that their lip gloss is 100% natural that they even invite you to:

Apply shimmer to lips as often as needed or desired. It’s good for you. Eat it off. Kiss it off. Talk it off. Re-apply.

I also love Burt’s Bees the company because they didn’t forget their roots i.e. beginning in Maine (which is also where my favourite author, Stephen King, hails from!) that one of the founders, Roxanne Quimby, bought parts of the forest in northern Maine to protect them from development

Now, a product that protects your skin and your environment is definitely what I’d call “beautiful on the inside and out”!
