Advantages: Softens, smoothes, hint of colour Disadvantages: Effects don't last that long
I've often looked at Burt's Bees products and thought they must be good with all their natural ingredients, so I recently made my first purchase from them - a Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil, which cost me a measly £3.49 from Boots.
The lip balm comes in the usual stick form with a twist-up action like a lipstick. The tube is yellow and it has a pink pull-off lid. The stick contains 0.15oz, or 4.25g, of product, which is pretty much average for a lip balm.
Burt's Bees say that this replenishing and hydrating natural lip balm is infused with the antioxidant goodness of pomegranate oil. It replenishes moisture to reveal smooth, healthy lips, while it coats them for an even-toned appearance.
The balm is quite solid and waxy but when it's applied to the lips it goes on smoothly and feels pleasantly smooth ...
Advantages: made from recyled material, not tested on animals, smell is quite nice Disadvantages: Leaves a greasy feeling on my skin, takes quite a long time to absorb
Recently I was given a Burt's Bees gift bag with lots of Burt's Bees miniatures in it. One of these was the 'Carrot Nutritive Body Lotion'.
The bottle I got was a 29.5ml size, but it is also available to buy in a full sized bottle which holds 236ml and costs around £13. Burt's Bees products are quite easy to get a hold of, with a lot of shops selling them. They are also widely available online. The miniature bottle looks exactly the same as the full sized bottle, just a lot smaller!
The bottle is made of yellow plastic and has a white plastic screw top lid. It has pictures of carrots on the label along with the name of the product in nice, clear, red font.
One of the things I don't like about the bottle is that it is made out of quite hard plastic, so it is very hard to try to get the body lotion out. In order to do this you have to ...
Advantages: Lovely smell, Super nourishing, cute tin, fab company Disadvantages: zero!
Burt's Bees hand salve is a god-send in a little tin. Not only can it be used for hands that need a little bit of TLC, but for all other areas of dry skin you may have.
The product is packed full of natural and high quality ingredients including almond oil, olive oil, beeswax and vitamin E Oil. All which help nourish and moisturise damaged or cracked skin. You can really feel it sinking into to any problem areas. I even use it as a lip balm when my lips feel dry and I feel it soothes them instantly. It has the same consistency as solid perfume which is great as it lasts for ages.
The smell is lovely and natural, you can definitely smell the rosemary, lavender and eucalyptus oils coming through.
I received my hand salve in a travel kit which contained several products. You can buy it on it's own for around £6 which is very ...
