Burt's Bees Garden Carrot Complexion Soap

great soap

This is a terrific soap. It smells good and works well at cleansing my skin. I love the whole carrot line. I do wish they made bigger bars, and they are a bit pricy, but they last awhile so that is ok. I have combination skin.

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm

I love these.

I bought a couple of these around the same time the lip butters came out and the LOreal balms. Compared to the balms these baby's give off way more color, feel smooth on the lips without felling heavy, and they don't taste like icky sunscreen. They are great for when you don't want to wear lipstick or gloss. For all of those who are saying they aren't that tinted, I don't get it. But I have about medium to light natural pigmentation to my lips, so they show up very well on me. They are a bit pricy but compared to some lesser balms on the market, they actually cost less. Plus you get the natural ingredients Burt's Bees is known for! I highly recommend you try at least one.

Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil

Don't like this one

Something about this one I just really don't like. I think it's the smell and taste. It also doesn't feel very comfortable on my lips. It's more of a heavy feeling balm that leaves me a bit claustrophobic. I remember buying one and using it twice. Then I ordered some things from their website and they were giving them away with every order. I figured it's because they weren't selling they were so bad. Needless to say I have one away and I think I wound up throwing away the one I bought and used.

Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub

Not bad, but a bit too greasy

I do like this product, but it's not one I repurchase often. I feel like I have to wash my face after using it because of the greasy feel it leaves. It does smooth out the skin nicely though.

Burt's Bees Essential Body Kit

Great for travel

I love these kits. They are a great deal and you get some of their best products. They make a great kit for travel. They also make a great gift for a friend. It's always nice to keep some of the products in your purse for nice soft hands, lips and cuticles!

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

Use this every night before bed.

This is one of my favorites to keep my lips from drying out at night. The beeswax formula puts a protective layer over my lips that stays put. I love the cool minty-ness of it. Plus, when I wake up in the morning it's not all goopy like with other products. A tube lasts me for months too.

Burt's Bees Peppermint Foot Lotion

Great with socks!

This foot lotions smells great. It can also be quite greasy as with many of the natural products out there. Great for in the evening with socks put on top so the product can really soak in. I love using this after an at home pedicure.

Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

Great product

I love Burt's Bees and this lemon scented balm is terrific on my brittle nails and dry cuticles. It takes a bit to soak in and I usually wipe any excess off so I don't have greasy feeling fingers. I forgot about one in a drawer though and those natural ingredients don't like that. It now smells like wax and is very thick. I love the little tin it comes in and love re-purposing them when the product is gone.

Benefit Posietint

This is ok

I like this, but I prefer the rosiness of benetint. I have fair skin too, so I thought it would be good, but I have so much redness, that the benetint looks more natural than the pink of positint.

CoverGirl & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation

Not horrible, but won't repurchase

This is a very moisturizing foundation with some pros and even more cons. Pros: It covers my whole face in one pump, it's full coverage, it blends in well Cons: No sunscreen which means adding more moisture to my face before applying, minor breakouts, color would match my skin if it had more pink undertones - it makes me look sickly and pale without a lot of bronzer, It comes of easily with a little sweat, it's heavy and you feel it on all day. I would love to find a foundation that covers as well as this one does, but without all the cons. I have combination/sensitive fair skin. The lack of sunscreen it not good, and the even though the breakouts are minor and almost not noticeable, they are still breakouts. I may try this again in the winter and see how it fairs. This may work better on people with yellow undertones and who have dry skin. There are no real anti-aging benefits, just moisture. I can't really recommend it for oily or combination skin.
