Burt's bees lip shimmer quick review

Here's a quick review of some of my fave lip products!
They're the shimmer balms from Burt's Bees; I have the colours plum, peony and papaya. The names are not super original, but they describe the shades pretty well.





They have a nice creamy/ balmy texture. They're not super tacky or greasy, which is my favorite type of texture, it's kinda of a nice sweet spot. It's not so thin that it's gonna slip off your lips, and it's not super long wearing (so you avoid the dry and patchy lip look). And because, it's Burt's Bees and it's a balm, they feel nice on the lips. The only thing I noticed that could put some people off is that they fade a little bit with a lot of talking and you def need to reapply after eating. I don't mind it, because I just applying lip products in general. They don't stain, so when they wear off they don't look weird. 
There' only one that doesn't have any shimmer (surprising considering they're called the lip shimmers) : the plum shade has a shinny look, like a creamy lipstick or balm. Peony has a slight shimmer, it's subtle. I think it just makes the lips shinnier and slightly plumper. The shade papaya has shimmer, almost glitter. I don't mind it, since it doesn't look frosty at all. This colour's really nice with the shimmer because it's a burnt orange, not a really bright one, it doesn't draw attention to the lip so much that you have a chance to notice the specks of gold in it. 
Hoped you guys liked it!
