Not every lip product deserves its own fan club, but Burt’s Bees Tinted Boosted Balm in Cheeky Cherry might be making a case. At $8, it’s become the kind of everyday essential that shoppers say they’re “officially addicted” to — and, given the rave 5-star reviews, it’s not hard to see why.
“Okay, I didn’t mean to fall in love with a lip balm, but here we are,” one reviewer admitted in a post aptly titled “Hooked for life.” They praised the combo of sheer tint and serious moisture, saying it “adds just the right amount of color” while keeping lips from falling into “crusty drama” territory. The payoff comes from a formula packed with shea butter, botanical waxes, and a vitamin-enriched core that keeps lips hydrated for up to 24 hours.
Fans keep coming back to how natural the finish of this tinted lip balm looks. “It’s literally the perfect color… very moisturizing. My lips are normally very pale and this gives them life without being too opaque,” another shopper wrote. Cheeky Cherry leans toward a deep red but stays sheer enough to feel like your lips — just better.

The lightweight, semi-glossy texture is another selling point. “I love this Burt’s Bees tinted balm! The Cheeky Cherry shade gives just the right amount of color while still looking natural. It feels super hydrating and lightweight, and I love that it’s 100% natural,” one fan explained. That clean formula also skips parabens, petrolatum, and phthalates, which makes it a safe bet for those who prefer ingredient lists they can actually pronounce.
Even picky balm testers are impressed by this cherry-tinted lip balm. “It’s perfect! I love the tint, the feel, and the scent (which is minimal). I’ve been searching for a replacement for Kjaer Weis’s KW red lip balm and this is it,” one shopper shared. Others pointed to the vitamin boost from C, E, and F: “My lips feel better than they ever have! Plus the tint is a perfect shade for me.”
The ultimate seal of approval? Shoppers keep stashing multiples. As one fan put it: “I now have one in every purse, pocket, and probably under a car seat somewhere.” For $8, Burt’s Bees Cheeky Cherry Boosted Balm might just be the product that proves a tinted lip can be both effortless and essential.
