I've been addicted to "natural" food stores ever since I discovered the food co-op while attending college. My husband and I were newly married and really, really broke-- Taco Bell was a big restaurant meal out for us. One of the most fun parts about the co-op was the beauty aisle. Today, it isn't so unusual to find an "organic" or sulfate free beauty product at your local grocery store; but back then, it was really unique.Burt's Bees is one of my favorite lines, and the pomegranate lip balm is one of their best products. This lip balm has a thinner, less waxy texture than the peppermint original. Pomegranate is high in antioxidants; and in my opinion, wearing this balm regularly has improved the smoothness of my lips and helped both glosses and lipsticks to apply more evenly. It's the sheer red-pink color of the balm that's really sold me: I can wear it without any additional lip color and my face still looks "finished", even when I'm wearing other makeup.
Because this balm is loaded with natural oils, really sensitive skins may not be able to wear it; also, beeswax means that it isn't a true "vegan" product. If you like natural products, though, and want to try out a wearable bright pink for spring, this balm probably is for you!
Burt's Bees has their own website, and the product is widely available-- even the rural grocery store in my hometown has a Burt's Bees display.
