Burt's Bees Blush, $10
The Logistics: Created to blend easily and evenly to enhance your cheeks' natural glow, this 100 percent natural blush is formulated with bamboo, honey and vitamin E -- all of which work together to nourish skin for beautifully radiant results.

My Review: With three colors to choose from -- all of which look different than you'd expect for a typical pink-toned blush -- I was excited to see these results for myself. As soon as I dusted these colors on with a fluffy blush brush, I realized that each was specifically created for fair, medium and dark complexions. Being on the fair side, my go-to shade is the Shy Pink. The other two, Bare Peach and Toasted Cinnamon, are better suited for warmer and darker complexions. Though I liked them for highlighting and contouring respectively. Where the Bare Peach creates a soft peachy glow, the Toasted Cinnamon's warm bronze hue works perfectly for carving out my cheekbones and accentuating the bridge of my nose.

Burt's Bees Eye Shadow Trio, $13
The Logistics: This easy-to-blend, long-lasting formula comes in four different shades to create a natural-looking eye look. Formulated with bamboo, honey and vitamin E, this 100 percent natural eye makeup nourishes skin with just the right amount of beautiful pigment.

My Review: My favorite trio by far was the Blooming Desert -- the pigment was rich and blendable, making it easy to create a gorgeous statement eye. I also really enjoyed the subtle color blend of the Shimmering Nudes, which offers a series of blush-toned hues. The other two trios -- Countryside Lavender and Dusky Woods -- while gorgeous in the packaging, didn't go on quite as easily, which meant a bit more muddying when attempting to blend. If you're more of an all-over color kind of gal, then these trios will still work great for you because they give you three shades to work individually with.

Burt's Bees Nourishing Mascara, $13
The Logistics: This 100 percent natural mascara is created to nourish, lengthen and define lashes with a formula of jojoba oil and naturally moisturizing glycerin.

My Review: If you're looking for easy application with precise separation and lengthening power, then you'll love this mascara. We were interested in seeing whether or not the product went on oily since it touts itself on being moisturizing, and while at first it appears really wet, once you give it a few seconds to dry, you'll fall in love with your accentuated, natural-looking lash look.

Burt's Bees Nourishing Eyeliner Pencil, $10
The Logistics: This fade- and smudge-proof eyeliner is 99.9 percent natural and is specifically formulated to beautifully define your delicate eye area.

My Review: To be honest, in a world full of amazing liquid liners, it's rare that I find a pencil that satisfies my beauty needs. That being said, I admittedly went into trying all shades of this eyeliner -- Soft Black, Midnight Gray and Warm Brown -- with fairly low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised when the seemingly hard eyeliner pencils delivered soft, coal-like lines. I was especially fond of the Midnight Gray for its untraditional bluish-black gray hue. Even if you're a liquid liner die-hard, these soft pencils would still work perfectly to accentuate below your eye.

Burt's Bees Eyebrow Pencil, $10
The Logistics: This brow pencil is made to fill, define and shape brows to bring out your best self naturally. Made with jojoba oil and shea butter, the 99.9 percent natural formula is nourishing and long-lasting.

My Review: A+. Seriously, these pencils work beautifully to shape and define brows. Despite going on smoothly, once applied, you don't have to worry about that easy-to-apply formula smudging out of place. My only complaint, as with most brow products, is that they've somehow left out redheads, sticking to the basics of Blonde and Brunette pencils. While many redheads can get away with blending a series of pencils, it'd definitely be cool if there were a one-stop product to get the job done. Burt's Bees, maybe in the future? Pretty please?
