All-Natural: Burt's Bees


Burt's Bees has only just gotten popular where I live. I remember I only used to spot it when I went to the US, and oddly enough always in bookstores.
Though it popped up here a while back, I hadn't tried any products until recently. But a friend of mine gave me a bottle of Milk & Honey bodylotion a little while ago. I really love it, though it smells more like coconut than anything else.


It seems the brand is mostly known for their lip balms, so it made sense to try one of those first. I actually have a lip tint, in the color Caramel. It feels very tingly, but I'm slowly getting used to it. And the shade is very nice and natural.


Also, you might recall my raving review of the Lush Smitten hand cream. Well... I got a chance to smell Burt's Bees' Almond Milk hand cream today and I'm pretty sure that will be my replacement some day! I'm also very curious about the Banana hand cream.

                                     

Have you tried anything by Burt's Bees? Anything you highly recommend? Or perhaps even advise against?

    1. I will keep that in mind! Though I have a big stock of shampoos and conditioners to clear out before I get to buy some new ones;)

  2. I love their shampoos and conditioners -- sulphate and paraben free but they still lather a little. I heard however, that some of their lip tints have lead in them, which I expect from many brands but certainly not one claiming to be all natural.

    1. That sounds horrible! And very strange indeed for a company like that.

  3. I have a little manicure set that I got for Christmas, which has the almond milk and the banana hand cream and it is gorgeous. I highly recommend getting the hand creams, they've done wonders for my dry skin during the Winter. xxx

  4. I love their lip balm however avoid the honey one. No one I know likes it and their acne face wash is amazing. Burt's Bees is a lifesaver in the winter.

  9. Burts Bees face wash is literally the only thing that stops me becoming a recluse in the winter. I get mine from my local botanical gardens, which is a nice excuse to go wandering in a beautiful park regularly! great post xx

  10. I have their lip balm, and it is very handy, practical and smells lovely :) Let me know if you end up buying anything! Banana hand cream sounds fun - although I probably wouldnt want my hands to smell of bananas all day - Id love the flavour as a lip balm tho...hmm..Have you tried any Lush products? x
