Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm
Price: £3.00 / $3.00 4.25g
Purchase: feelunique.com / burtsbees.com
The Burt's Bees Beeswax lip balm is a cult classic. It was actually this iconic lip balm that launched the brand into the beauty market (they started off making candles!). This is my favourite lip balm on the list as it keeps lips nourished, it lasts for ages and it is really affordable. In addition to beeswax, coconut oil and sweet almond oil, Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm also contains peppermint oil which plumps lips a little and gives the most refreshing tingling sensation.
