My Experience with Burt’s Bees Ruby Ripple #521 Lipstick:
Packaging: This range of lipsticks comes in a brown rectangular plastic packaging with a honeycomb design. You can see the shade of the lipstick from the honeycomb and the name itself appears on a sticker at the bottom.
The packaging looks quite attractive but the cap is slightly too tight to open. Also, the lipstick does not swivel all the way down. This can lead to accidental nicking off the tip of the lipstick.
Shade/Pigmentation: “Ruby Ripple” as the name suggests is a ruby red shade. It is a gorgeous shade of red which will surely appeal to all red lovers. The pigmentation of this particular shade is pretty decent as it is not as sheer as some of the other shades from this range. It is enough to cover the lips in a single swipe. Also, the color is buildable and layering does not lead to clumping of the lipstick.
Texture/Finish/Lasting Power: The texture of this lipstick is like a thick balm. It glides smoothly on the lips with no tug at all. The formula is indeed very moisturizing due to the presence of ingredients like Beeswax, Moringa Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil, and Vitamin E.
For a moisturizing lipstick, the lasting power is good too. It lasts on me for about 5 hours with some snacking and light meals. It does transfer but not too much. The lips continue to feel soft even after the color has worn off.
The finish of the lipstick is a lovely semi-matte one with sheen.
To summarize, this is a 100% natural lipstick with the goodness of a lip balm, just the right amount of color and a good staying power – a pretty good lipstick to own.
