Burt's Bees

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...

Burt's Bees Carrot Nutritive Body Lotion

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...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Burt's Bees Amazing Hand Salve

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...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Review of Panasonic DVD-S54

Burt your bees make my lips so smooth.

Advantages: A small amount goes a long way.
Disadvantages: After buying one product from Burt's range you'll feel strangely compelled to buy more.

...Over the years I have tried out many different skin care products and I must confess to never being loyal to any particular brand. However several months ago I came across Burt?s Bees; they offer a range of personal care products that are made from all natural ingredients, which I am always in favour of. Since the birth of my son who is now 21 months old, I have been more careful as to what products I use on my skin, as baby's don?t care for strong scents and I don?t want any creams or lip gloss that I may be wearing rubbing off onto him to irritate his skin. Initially I ordered some hand care products from their range which I was delighted with, so on my next order I decided to look at what other products they had on offer. I noticed the Strawberry lip gloss, I do like a good lip gloss or balm as I very rarely wear make up but...

The buzz about Burt

Advantages: more effective than cutting with scissors
Disadvantages: thicker than molasses, availability, price

...As you can see from my previous reviews on the topic, I like natural products. I like to think I am becoming one with nature as I slather on body products, rather than battling against it with chemicals. As such, Burt's Bees products are perfect and wholesome and lovely. ********The Company It really did start with a bearded hippy-looking guy named Burt and his bees. He sold honey to make ends meet. Now he's lord of a natural product empire (and apparently still has the hippy-looking beard). Well, empire might be stretching it, but it's a big operation that has stuck firmly to its original principles of natural products and sustainability. From the original lip balm the company expanded to a wide range of products that are listed on the website. The product I'm reviewing here is the Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Creme. ********The...

Come on Burt and Res-Q me!

Advantages: mostly natural, soothes minor injuries quickly
Disadvantages: not very effective on older injuries like bruises

...Had I written this review this time last week, I would have been a lot more negative about this product, but after an unfortunate incident involving a door handle (read on!) my opinion of this product has completely changed. I got a travel sized pot of Burt's Bees Res-Q ointment in their outdoor remedy kit a couple of months back, it is probably not a product I would ever have chosen to buy individually. I think one of the main downsides of the product is working out what you are supposed to use it for! The back of the tin tells me to 'For all of life's discomforts, naturally soothe skin...' from that I still wasn't quite sure about what I was supposed to do with it, so I had to have a quick check of the Burt's Bees website. This tells me that after any minor injury, I should clean the skin, and then apply a layer of this salve to...

Review of Burt's Bees Res-Q Ointment

I have burts bees all over my skin

Advantages: smell,way it feels on skin
Disadvantages: price,where to buy

...****Burt's Bees Radiance Day Creme **** A couple of months back i purchased Burt's bees for my friend as she was raving about how good it was .She ended up giving me one of the lip shimmers because she didn't like it and since then i have been hooked,since then i have bought several products from the range and this is one of them. **About Burt's bees..** The products are all natural and the company is big on supporting environmental causes. The packing tends to have this retro look to it which looks nice. **Packaging** This didn't actually come in that much packaging which i think is a good thing. I don't see the point of putting something in say a fancy box when it is just going to get ripped open and tossed in the bin. The product is in a round,clear glass tub and the lid is grey with burts bees written on it. I like how the name...

Natural Beauty by Burt

Advantages: natural ingredients; nice scent
Disadvantages: takes some time for skin to absorb

...I got hooked on Burt's Bees products many years ago, after I learned about some of the harsh chemicals used in other beauty products. Burt's Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream uses mostly natural ingredients (98%), including rosewater, sunflower and sesame seed oils, and beeswax. I find the scent to be quite pleasant, but in a very earthy, natural way. This product line may not appeal to persons who prefer to wear very refined and subtle perfumes--Burt's lotions and salves tend to smell quite strong and their texture is fairly heavy. For this reason I normally apply the Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream in the evening before I go to bed so it can take effect while I sleep and then after a morning shower the scent doesn't linger. My skin always feels refreshed and rejuvenated after using this cream. I would recommend this product for women...
