(Source: Burt's Bees)Beauty confession time: I'm a lip crayon addict. I like a good lipstick or gloss here and there but crayons are where it's at for me—they're portable and easy to apply on the go. Earlier this year, I fell in love with Burt's Bees' lip balms so imagine my delight when the brand's lead makeup artist, Katey Denno, let me know they'd be releasing lip crayons in the coming months.I finally got my hands on the Burt's Bees lip crayons ($9) a few months later and they were worth the wait. Aside from being all-natural, these crayons contain nourishing jojoba and kendi oils, and softening shea butter so they won't leave your lips feeling dry. Despite being labeled as matte shades, I'd call these creamy-mattes. They won't give you the stark, shine-free look of some other crayons but I love them for that. They're a happy medium between totally matte and super shiny.
I also love the bright, pigment-rich shades that these crayons come in, plus they're taste- and scent-free for ladies who are sensitive to those details. My favorite hue is called Niagra Overlook—it's a bold-yet-wearable shade somewhere between watermelon and rose. It's perfect for the fading summer days.
