Personally I fancy a pink base nude lip which gives a bit more colour to my lips instead of a beige based one. I think the Beyonce episode may have had something to do with it. But when I found this latest lippies I received from Burt's Bees from my 'Stuffs Corner' I figured why not try it out to see if the colour would show because the shades are on the light side.

The Lip Shine in Whisper is part of Burt's Bees new lip colour range where as the Tinted Lip Balm in Caramel Daisy is one of the latest shades. Read more about the new lip colour range here. Each can be worn alone or combined for a different effect.

The Tinted Lip Balm in Caramel Daisy has a very smooth texture and this particular shade showed only a very light hint of brown base pink. The colour shows a tiny bit more with two layers on my lips. It does  a a good job at moisturising. Have a feeling it will show more with someone with naturally lighter lips. The Lip Shine in Whisper is a super light pink with a non sticky texture. Again the colour doesn't really show on but I suppose works well with softening a brighter colour and/or adding shine. It's light and feels comfortable on my lips. Both lasts as long as I don't start munching or drinking.

Burt's Bees Tips for Natural Plumping Effects

1. Apply Tinted Lip Balm on upper & lower lips

2.Add Lip Shine at the middle of lips

I figured it's a good look to go with this Eid. Reapplying a bright shade is such a nuisance after all that eating since the eating fest continues through out the day. Looks like I've found a use for these neutral shades after all!

Burt's Bees Lip Shine retails at retails at RM42.80 and the Tinted Lip Balm retails at RM42.80. Both are currently available at all Burt's Bees outlets.

P/s: I have some exciting posts next week, well I was suppose to do it this week but got a bit tied up with random things. So look out for some gorgeous Fall-Winter 2011 Collection Previews from Jimmy Choo and Karen Millen next week. Have a wonderful weekend!

It's one of those days I felt like having something yummy to snack on and still have room for something sweet. Typical. Since I haven't been to Lemon Garden 2 Go in Shangri-La Hotel in a while, well I found myself there for tea today. You just can't go wrong with Shangs!

Chicken Country Melt - RM18+

I opted for Rye instead of Panini for my sandwich today. Craving for something slightly dark and grainy. Apart from the obvious gooey melted cheese, the chicken breast was juicy with a generous amount of lettuce and tomatoes. Served with coleslaw.

Choc's - RM18++

Vanilla sable, chocolate sponge, dark ganache with strawberries

It was calling to me from the cake display. How was I suppose to resist! Gorgeous!! *droolsss*

Isn't tea suppose to be light. Well looks like I'll snack at supper. I headed off to KLCC afterwards to check out the Burt's Bees counter. I realised yesterday my RM200 voucher was about to expire some time this week. Perfect way to get my shopping fix without spending money. Genius right. Lol!

I got the Cocoa & Cupuaçu Butters Body Lotion, Milk & Honey Body Lotion, Coconut Foot Creme, Cranberry & Pomegranate Sugar Scrub and Hand Salve

Looks like there's more food here!

What a way to start off the morning! Especially when I woke at 545am on Saturday..

I want them all!

Organised by NuYou together with Burt's Bees, we were invited to the poolside of the Royale Bintang Hotel after a warm welcome greeting from Jo of Burt's Bees. Candi Soo of Candi Soo Fitness, kicked start the workshop with a Yogataal session by the poolside. Nice place to conduct a yoga session. If only the session was a bit more less stressful. It was more fast paced than the yoga i'm used to, but it was a different and interesting experience nonetheless.

After the blood pumping yoga session, we were treated to light snacks and honey/lemon drinks. The workshop then continued with a short video presentation on everything Burt's Bees. They believe in "earth-friendly natural skin care, natural beauty and natural personal care products". I'm all for it! Jo also shared tips on how to eat healthier and take care of our body using all natural products.

I won a lip shimmer and a hand salve from the Q&A session afterwards! All I did was look for something in my bag that used all natural products.. I gave them the Burt's Bees Pomegranate lip balm which I bought last week. I knew that was a good move.. lol!

The DIY session was informative and exciting. Each table was given cups of honey and 2 eggs to make a mask. As I have oily skin, I had to mix together the egg whites and honey. Egg whites have an astringent like property and honey was to sooth the skin. Washed it off after a few minutes and my skin was less shiny and felt fresh! I'm definitely going to DIY this at home.

Carina, training manager for Bobbi Brown then took over to introduce the Pretty Powerful Campaign which sent out a very strong message. It's all about enhancing your natural beauty without having to hide behing thick heavy make-up. Lurving this video! A Bobbi Brown make-up artist then demonstrated on a model simple techniques on how to get a fresh natural look. I must get my hands on that cream blusher, its great for a pop of colour! Pretty! Bobbi Brown also had mini makeovers after the workshop.

Before the workshop ended, there were lucky draws! 5 fitness vouchers from Candi Soo Fitness and 5 hampers from Bobbi Brown. Lucky indeed! Despite wanting to rob Adrienne and Rane who were sitting next to me as both won the Bobbi Brown hampers, I went home happy with the goodies I got.. lol..

Just as we thought it was over and it was time to get going, we were told that lunch was served at the Coffee House downstairs! Buffet lunch! Omg! Burt's Bees really spoilt us!

Thank you soo soo much Burt's Bees & Nu You for a rocking workshop and goodies filled goodie bag! Couldn't ask for more.. :)

Goodies.. :)

After meeting up with some friends for lunch at OU I just had to do a quick stop over at the Curve to check out the first Burt's Bees' outlet in Malaysia. Was thinking of going next week since I'm going to the Burt's Bees' Workshop organised by Nüyou Magazine at The Royale Bintang but what the heck I was already nearby.

I headed straight to the lip balm corner when I got into the outlet. Been dying to try out their Pomegranate Lip Balm. Well it was a no brainer that I had to get it after trying it out. Hmm.. I can't possibly just get one item right. Get another one! Lol!

Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil - RM18

Tried out their Lip Shimmer which comes in about 11 shades and narrowed it down to three - Rhubarb, Raisin and Fig. Lurving all three but promised myself I wouldn't blow my budget so I had to settle for just one. For this week at least. Next week is the dawn of a new day (Burt's Bees' Workshop *wink wink*). My pick was FIG. It's a great colour for me as pinkish ones don't usually show on my lips.

My 3 fave shades..

Lip Shimmer in Fig - RM31.80

But didn't see the Super Shiny Lip Gloss around yet. Overheard one of the Sales Assistant say that there'll be another shipment coming in soon.

Did a quick round checking out their other products and found that they're slightly pricey considering that they're a drugstore brand in the US. Might decide to try out something else the next time round. For today I'm just happy with my balm & shimmer. :)
