Burt’s Bees commissions world's first miniature lip balm sculptures
To mark the occasion of World Bee Day, Burt’s Bees is celebrating with the arrival of the world’s first ever miniature sculptures made out of the latest Burt’s Bees Chai Tea Lip Balm.
The sculptures, commissioned by Burt’s Bees, have been carefully crafted by globally renowned Hong Kong miniature sculptor, Maysum.
The five miniature sculptures, which took more than two days to sculpt and measure 1.5 centimetres in height, bring to life a tea cup and saucer, a honey bee, honey comb and honey pot, all representative of the newest Chai Tea Lip Balm. To add an additional cultural twist, the Sydney Opera House was also carved, with such precision that each sail is visible.
"It is wonderful to partner with Maysum for the launch of the Burt’s Bees Chai Tea Lip Balm in Australia," said Burt's Bees senior brand manager, Nicola Quinn. "We are delighted with the outcome of her precise craftsmanship which perfectly brings to life the story of our brand, with our everyday hero being the humble bee and the unique ingredients which we include in our products such as Chai Tea Lip Balm."
