This is my favourite Burt's Bee's lip shimmer, I see it as a berry/gold colour. I wear it nearly every day. A lot people say it's very dark and over the top, but I have really pale skin and I don't f...Read more

LOVE this product and color. People 1st look at the color like most look(ed) @ Cliniques Black Honey. It looks Goth in the tube, but when you put it on it looks like a glossy crushed berry stain. T...Read more

Agree with other reviewers that the color is a bit intense and bright. Would possibly work for nighttime, but I like my lipbalms to be of the "put on without a mirror in a pinch and go" variety, so o...Read more

I love and hate this product, it's a very dark red that most people can NOT pull off, but i can. my lips pull red when hydrated or rubbed. I just have to take some of it off. Or use only one swipe, an...Read more

I actually don't like the taste of peppermint because it lingers in my mouth too.. it's just a tad bit too strong. The colour also doesn't match my skin tone it's a bit towards the bright deep red, I ...Read more

Umm, I bought this a week ago and has been testing it out since. When I received the parcel, I was quite surprised that the packaging is really small. By small I mean the tube is really slender and is...Read more

The reviewer below me said it: this isn't raisin, it's a dark, cool-toned berry. I have a neutral-warm complexion and bluish pigmented lips. I don't think this lip shimmer suited me, in fact it's hard...Read more

I love this product. It's one of my favorite colors. It can be a little intense but I tone it down by putting it on lightly then blotting/applying clear gloss over it.

I have been using this in place of lipstick for I don't know how long. I was really shocked when I saw the negative reviews on it. The color can be a bit intense but if you use it right it looks very ...Read more

No shimmer (even though it's called a "lip shimmer"?). If you dab on just a little, it's a pretty sheer color, but it was very drying on my lips. The tube would not allow me to twist the product dow...Read more

Hmm, idk why this product got some gnarly reviews lol, but this works well for me. I have to admit however that I thought it was going to be a sheer, low key color but instead it came out bright red. ...Read more

I love anything Burt's Bees; my lips just seem to agree with their products :) They moisturize like no other and I love the minty smell. Oddly enough this one doesn't have shimmer in it (my Rhubarb an...Read more

I like the color but it bleeds and fades unevenly. The color will stick to any dry areas in your lips. Not attractive.

I bought this at WholeFoods for $4.99, and they ran out of "samples" so looking at the wrapper and title "raisin" - i thought it would be a nice berry shade. Came home - and it looks bright orange/re...Read more

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in raisin is a very bold dark red on my fair skin. And I agree that the product can streak and bleed but only if you put a lot on straight from the tube. By using a lip brush y...Read more

This product was a disappointment. The color was not "raisin" at all, but more of a cool toned garish raspberry. And the "shimmer" made my lips look dry, cakey, and unnatural. And plus, when the co...Read more

There is a rich pigment to this shimmer stick. It is too red for my NC20 skin... IMHO... I took some on my finger and dabbed it onto my lips, it stained it and did not look smooth. I tried again wit...Read more

Okay, I'm a bit undecided about this one. You really have to dab it on, and you'll need a non-glossy lip balm underneath- I use Burt's Bee's beeswax lip balm. It streaks with a greasy lip balm, like s...Read more
