I'd used Burt's Bees peppermint lip balm for a few years. Here in the "heartland" you'd better not be caught without something for lips and skin in general because it's pretty windy here and the cold is beyond description. Anyway, I'd kind of grown tired of the peppermint version and, so, having recently bought the "thoroughly therapeutic" lotion which contains significant honey decided to try the honey lip balm.

Having consumed my fair share of honey, I was quite taken by the wonderful whiff of honey I detected as I uncapped the balm. I do not, ergo, agree with the preceding reviewer's description of the item's smell as one of baby powder and vaseline(?). Also, it was not long before I found it to be far more effective than the peppermint. My lips have become smooth and moist with no roughness from peeling. This makes sense to me since I know a little bit about the healing power's of honey. And, I've only used it for about 3 weeks.

Now, mind you, the winter has pretty much faded away and so it'll probably take the full brunt of next winter's scourge to give it a real testing. In the meantime, I'll continue to use it through the warm weather for therapeutic value and the great smell. Sniff-- aaaahhhhhhhhh.

I won't offer any pseudoscience on the merits of beeswax over petrolatum, but it's been my experience that the petro-based chapsticks require you to apply balm constantly. I find that with Burt's Bees, the opposite is true. So there's some anecdotal evidence for you, which is really what Amazon reviews are all about.

Some reviewers have noted that this product doesn't help with their chapped lips. I could see that as a possibility. There may be better products out there for healing damaged skin. I think of this balm as a preventive measure. I put this on before I go out, and I never get chapped lips. I have very fair skin that is prone to drying out, and I live in a cold, windy mountain town.

Because it eliminates one reason - out of countless, surely - for girls to not want to kiss me, Burt's Bees has my undying devotion.

I really enjoy Burt's Bees lip balms. The original in my opinion is the best because you can continuously use it without it becoming irritating or annoying. The Honey version has a very similar feel as the original, the obvious difference is instead of a tingly mint sensation there is a sweet, aromatic scent and taste. I originally liked this scent very much, however, with continued use it became somewhat overbearing and I was ready for a switch. Still, once every few months i'll come across this product and buy it for a change. If you don't mind a sweet scent and taste on your lips, you'll love this product!

I was purchasing Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm at the drugstore, when I could find it (which wasn't nearly as often as I needed to replace a tube!) When I found this great deal from this seller at Amazon, I snapped them up. Surely enough, this lip balm is the original, delightful-smelling lip balm I had so many problems finding at the store.
It smells wonderful, is soft and gentle even on chapped lips, and works to protect, soothe, and heal.
I have multiple tubes going at once (one by my bed, one in my purse, one in my car, etc) and will be purchasing these again.

I'm from Michigan where we have the weather from all four seasons, so I have to use protection from heat, sun, cold,and some really dry air (winter -_-). I use their products year round and the Honey lip balm is definitely my favorite. It smells almost like baby powder to me, and it glides on so easy. It doesn't leave a residue or anything like that, and it makes my lips look very moisturized. It also makes them so soft. I can't stop putting it on. I got this a few days ago, and I'll probably be through this in no time. don't worry though, it does last a very long time.... I just put it on too often haha- I go through a lip balm a month, sometimes two hah

But yeah, don't hesitate making the choice to buy this. It's simply amazing!!

While some people complain about the smell, I prefer to see I'm using a product without the chemicals we found in other products.
For me, the smell is not bad (actually it's a natural smell) and goes away soon. Knowing that I'm using something totally natural is much more important to me.

Last year I accidentally purchased the honey balm when I thought I was getting another tube of the original formula. When I put it on it was a little shocking to have SWEET on me lips as opposed to the peppermint tingle. It was the best accident I could have ever asked for. I absolutely LOVE this lip balm. It moisturizes, lasts long, tastes great. If you don't like honey, you OBVIOUSLY won't like this balm. This is used daily and I have more tubes than I can count now just because I need one on me at all time.

The scent is strong, but I promise you'll get used to it. This formula is far more moisturizing to my lips than the original formula. That's not to say it will be the best formula for someone ELSE'S lips, but I will never go back to anything else.

An added bonus? I've been told my lips taste amazing!!

I tried liking this. I applied it several times to give it another chance. But my conclusion is the smell is pretty bad (like an old couch or old shoe). Its just a weird smell that doesn't go away. Only good thing, is it does moisturize your lips, but you'll have to be willing to smell that bad smell all day. I am throwing this out too.

I wanted to switch to a new lip balm that did not contain petroleum, so I chose to use Burt's Bees. I originally had the peppermint formula, which was not as conditioning as I had hoped, and sometimes burns my chapped lips. By accident, I purchased the Honey version and must say, it was just what I was looking for! The honey balm provides you lips with moisture and protection.

Since I was acclimated to the regular Burt's Bees, the smell of the honey balm took some getting used to, but it is in no way an offensive odor. After years of using this formula, I don't smell it or taste it at all.

Recommended for a more conditioning, more soothing alternative to the original Burt's Bees

I love Burt's Bees; no other lip balm can compare with how good the ORIGINAL is. I agree with the other reviewer that this smells of baby powder and petroleum jelly. The smell is over powering, and the heavy feeling it creates on my lips is more like an application of astringent rather than of moisturizing lip balm. I finally threw it out after leaving the house with it on more than one occasion, mistaking it for the good stuff. Better off sticking to the regular Burt's.
