Lip Balm Battle: Drunk Elephant vs. Burt’s Bees

Hey everyone! Today, I’m comparing two lip balms that I’ve been using: Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm and Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. Let’s see how they stack up against each other and why I find a place for both in my skincare routine.

Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm

• Vibe: Luxe and ultra-nourishing.
• Experience: This lip balm is a splurge, no doubt about it. It feels incredibly rich and moisturizing on my lips. The formula is packed with a blend of avocado, mongongo, cranberry, and marula oils, making it a powerhouse for hydration and nourishment. My lips feel instantly softer and stay moisturized for hours. Plus, it has a subtle, pleasant scent that isn’t overpowering. The packaging is chic and compact, perfect for carrying around. However, it comes with a higher price tag, so it’s definitely a luxury item in my routine.

Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

• Vibe: Classic and budget-friendly.
• Experience: Burt’s Bees is an all-time favorite for a reason. It’s affordable, accessible, and gets the job done. This balm has a refreshing peppermint tingle that I love, and it provides a solid layer of moisture thanks to the beeswax, coconut oil, and vitamin E in the formula. It’s not as rich as the Drunk Elephant balm, but it’s perfect for everyday use and frequent reapplication. The packaging is straightforward and sturdy, making it a great no-frills option for anyone on a budget.

Why I Love Both

Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm is my go-to for when my lips need that extra TLC. It’s perfect for those dry, cold days or whenever I want to pamper myself. Despite its higher price, the quality and lasting hydration make it worth the occasional splurge.

Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm, on the other hand, is my everyday hero. It’s cheap, reliable, and does a fantastic job of keeping my lips smooth and soft. I love having a few sticks of this around – one in my bag, one in my car, and one at home. It’s the perfect lip balm for quick touch-ups and maintenance throughout the day.

Final Thoughts

Both of these lip balms have earned a spot in my routine for different reasons. Drunk Elephant is the luxurious treat my lips adore, while Burt’s Bees is the trusty staple I can always rely on. Whether you’re looking to indulge or just need an effective, budget-friendly option, you can’t go wrong with either of these balms.
