Burt's Bees Lip Crayons (Priceline Beauty Click favourites)

It's been a while since I've done one of my Beauty Click favourites post so to refresh your memory these posts feature the standouts from the selection of beauty products Australian health and drugstore beauty chain Priceline sent me to review for their website earlier this year.  As it happens I've recently received another round of products for review so I'd better get cracking with the backlog of favourites from the first round!

 Let's talk lip crayons. Burt's Bees have recently jumped onto the global lip crayon craze which has been around for a couple of years now, and while in all honesty I was feeling a bit fatigued by the whole lip crayon concept after trying my first Burt's Bees Lip Crayon I was prepared to get back on board.

Burt's Bees refer to their new lip crayons as "...colour that truly cares for your lips!"
These lip crayons are formulated to moisturise the lips as they are infused with Shea Butter, Kendi Oil, and Jojoba Oil.

L to R:  Sedona Sands (405), Napa Vineyard (435)


My impressions:
I received the nude shade, Sedona Sands in my Beauty Click review box and because I was pretty impressed I went out and bought the deepest shade Napa Vineyard - just for the comparison don't you know!

As with all of the lip crayons I own, these have the typical twist up mechanism and are easy to apply as a liner/lipstick/balm in one. Burt's Bees Lip Crayons are unscented, and offer medium but buildable coverage for the lips.  They feel creamy on application and give a matte finish to the lips which is not drying in the least - and is the thing I love the most! You've got to love a matte lip colour you can wear day in, day out without parching your lips! The colour lasts easily 4 to 5 hours on the lips without any bleeding and fades evenly.  These were definitely a winner for me and are now favourites because they do deliver in both the colour and care department.

Swatched L to R:  Sedona Sands (405), Napa Vineyard (435)


At $16.99AUD there are 6 shades in the range and I plan to pick up a pink shade next to round out my little collection.


Do you have any lip crayons in your makeup stash?

  1. Oh, these do sound good! I don't love their normal lip balm, so I was never curious about the rest of their products, but it sounds like they have great color payoff with a comfortable formula.

  3. Love the colors of both of these! They sound pretty fantastic. Matte lips always end in extreme lip TLC, so anything that can skip that maintenance is a winner!

    1. Yeah - I'm hearing you! Some matte products dry my lips out so badly I wear them once and my lips are sucked dry and flaky! These lip balms are nothing but creamy feeling on the lips - love em!

  4. Ooh, I've been wondering how these would look. Pretty good pigmentation from the looks of your swatch! Looks like this will be in the "wishlist" when Priceline has its super sales again ;)

    1. I'm currently trying a matte lip crayon from another brand and it really doesn't compare - the other product is supposedly moisturising too but feels and looks rather chalky. In other words, these are definitely worth trying out!

    1. I'm genuinely pleased with them - and I recently added a third to my collection - Niagara Outlook which is a coral-pink :)
