BURT'S BEES - Lip Shimmer (Cherry) and Tinted lip balm (Hibiscus) Review!

This is the first time I've ever purchased a Burt's Bees product- and I don't know why!! I've been hearing really great reviews about the products- skincare, etc- but I guess I never guessed that their cosmetics range never blew up on youtube? Well- last week I decided to give this a go- since it was on sale and I just fell in love with the colours (no testers so had to open them up and see for myself! ...that's not good.. I know..) 
The first colour that caught my eye was Burts Bee's' Lip Shimmer in CHERRY
THIS COLOUR IS BEAUTIFUL! I don't know even know how to start- it's so corally and it's not THAT shimmery- but it does leave a nice glossy finish to your lips <3
Pros: 
- Not too shimmery- but gives you enough gloss to your lips that it looks (AND IS) hydrated! 
- Pretty pigmented for a lip shimmer/balm! Love it
- Pretty affordable for a tinted lip balm, I would say- I think it was around $5-6 at Shoppers Drug Mart? 

Cons: 
- The packaging for this product wasn't thought out- well the packaging is okay but if you twist out "too much" product, you can't twist it back inside the tube..
Which was bothersome and annoying because I tied to push it back into the tube but.. the heat from my fingers just melted the product and ended up squishing it... not pleasant, I tell you. 
- Messy 

 Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in  HIBISCUS 

This lip tint might be one of my new favourite lip tints .. ever? Let me give you some pros and cons (if any)

Pros:
- Packaging is bulkier so the product transfers to your lip better (compared to the other one- though I love the colour nonetheless) 
- Less shimmery than the shimmer lip balm but it's just like a lip balm but with a sheer, beautiful tint <3

Cons:
- There weren't that many colours to choose from that were appealing to me- I just remember there being maybe 4 others? 

I can't think of anything else for cons- I just really love this tint as well <3

THE FACE SHOP: Lovely Me:ex Milky Tint Review


 Last week I purchased this from the first FACE SHOP I've ever seen in Toronto! It's found in Pacific Mall in North York if you're wondering but yeah! It's been open for six months but I would not have known since I go to school outside of Toronto but onto the review~

This product caught my eye because it looked similar to those Benefit cheek and lip tints, and also the colour is really pretty; peach and rosegoldish.



This is what it looks like after opening it up:

The colour may look really intimidating on the stick but it really isn't - especially after blending it out.
It gives a sheer finish to the cheeks- I haven't tried it on the lips just yet but I'm sure it would have the same outcome as it did on my cheeks. So it product is transferred from something similar to those lipgloss swabs- which isn't too bad. Honestly, you don't really need too much of the product for each cheek. Maybe about 2-3 dots per cheek.

Here's a small swatch- It's pretty sheer after spreading around the product.
WARNING! Try to smudge this on your cheek asap after application/dotting because it does stain quite quickly.. like most cheek/lip stains do.

Overall I really like this product and it's something really quick and easy to use for those days where you feel a bit lazy but want something to brighten up your face!
