Burt’s Bees Lip Crayon (Hawaiian Smolder 429)

Burt’s Bees now has a line of gorgeous lip crayons to tempt us with.  I received one of the six shades in Hawaiian Smolder 429 to review.

This chubby lip crayon is a rich medium pink that made my lips pop with enough lively color to set off my light complexion nicely.  It went on smoothly, felt comfortable, and moisturized with shea butter, kendi oil, and jojoba oil.

If you haven’t tried this new line of Burt’s Bees Lip Crayons ($9), I think you really would like them.  Do check them out the next time you go shopping!

Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

Washing your hands is necessary, but doing it frequently does affect the condition of your nails and cuticles. When you can’t thoroughly lubricate with a cuticle oil because you are working on the computer, perhaps, and want to avoid excess greasiness, then I know you would be interested to learn more about Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream that I’ve been using. 

This 2013 Latina Beauty Award winning product comes in a small tin that hardly takes any room in your handbag or a desk drawer. I found it had a great texture and fresh lemony scent.  However, what I loved the most was how this formula moisturizes dry cuticles and brittle nails exceptionally well with sweet almond, sunflower, and lemon oils, cocoa seed butter, and vitamin E so you can still work on the computer without leaving a greasy trail.

At around $6 a pop, you can afford to keep several on hand at different locations.  Do check out Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream because it does help with those dry cuticles and brittle nail problems without destroying your budget!

Review: Burt’s Bees Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream

 Burt’s Bees Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream

I happen to have sensitive hands that chap and get rough easily.  What usually gives me trouble is dish detergents and washing in public restrooms (not with any particular soaps, but the water itself).  You may be thinking why not just get a dish washer or use rubber gloves and avoid this problem.  

Regretfully, my kitchen is too small to fit a dish washer and if I wear those typical latex gloves with my allergies, it only irritates my hands even worse.  I do have thick, non-latex gloves for cleaning but they are too clumsy to use for dishwashing.

Anyway, I am getting sidetracked.  The thing that happened was I used a new brand of dish detergent that was meant to be kinder for hands.  Perhaps, this is true for others, but my hands hurt after that and became red.

I was about to put on my normal hand cream when I remembered I had one left to review with Burt’s Bees Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream.  Therefore, I thought this was as good a time to test it than any other.  

This 100% natural product comes in a metal tube and is extremely thick.  This hand cream also has cocoa butter and various botanical oils in addition to that intensive lubricant of shea butter.  It does take a bit of work to finally get it out of that tube, but once you do you will notice it has a very strong herbal smell, which is not particularly pleasing.  Nonetheless, I am a professional, committed to telling it as it is.  Thus, I squeezed some on before I went to bed.

By the way, the less than pleasant fragrance does dissipate in time, approximately fifteen minutes to become lighter.  This hand cream also is fast absorbing and left my hands without greasiness.

When I woke the next morning, I was really impressed at the condition of my hands.  With only one time, this stuff healed that irritated skin and left them smooth again.  I honestly liked this product.  The only thing that I wish was that the company work on is improving the scent. But, as to the performance of Burt’s Bees Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream ($13), I think it is exceptional for healing.  

Anyone with sore hands and needs immediate relief, I highly recommend Burt’s Bees Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream!  

Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmers (Rhubarb, Watermelon, Fig, Cherry) Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Starting on the left is Cherry, then Fig, Rhubarb, and ending with Watermelon on the right.

What I love about Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmers is the fact you get a treatment and sheer color in one tube that soothes with shea butter and fruit oils while it invigorates with peppermint. At the same time, it dresses your lips with its beautiful shades of color like the four that I got for this review.

Rhubarb will give your lips a lovely glow of cranberry-red. Watermelon is a lively medium pink-violet.  Fig is a gorgeous reddish-brown. Cherry is a licorice shade of red with berries.

There are fifteen luminescent colors to choose from in all. Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmers retail for $5.00.  

If you haven’t tried any of these yet, do pick a few up because you will like what this product does for your lips!

Award-Winning Burt’s Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Burt’s Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme

The skin on my hands is on the delicate side. As a result, I am constantly slathering on hand lotions and creams to keep them well moisturized and presentable. Otherwise, my sensitive hands would be perpetually rough, chapped, and scary-looking.

I have tried my share of products in various forms to relieve this condition. Some of those have worked better than others. Though I have used other Burt’s Bees products, I never got around to using their hand lotions or creams. Therefore, I thought it was about time that I put their 2013 award-winning Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme ($9.00) to the test.

First of all, I want to point out this natural product is heavy-duty lubrication with sweet almond oil and vitamin E to coax ailing skin back from the brink. This yummy, nutty-smelling product also has beneficial beeswax as an ingredient to seal in needed moisture and condition.

As to its performance, I found this cream definitely helped a severe dry skin problem like mine. At the same time, I want to caution that this product can also leave hands a bit greasy so use sparingly.

For daytime, I prefer less the formula to absorb more and be less slippery to the touch. I felt this hand creme was better suited for nighttime, which is exactly how I have been using it after initially sampling it. 

Give your severe dry hands an ample coat of Burt’s Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Crème before bed and find them recovered by morning–at least, this is what this stuff did for me. Do try this because you’ll like it!

Review: Burt's Bees Lemon & Vitamin E Bath & Body Oil

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Burt's Bees Lemon & Vitamin E Bath & Body Oil

The perfect start to my mornings lately has been due to Burt’s Bees Lemon & Vitamin E Bath & Body Oil. With its lemony brightness, this is an energizing 100% natural body oil that perks spirits and body in a remarkable way while lovingly tending to dry skin at the same time.

Since it arrived for this review, I have used this oil by pouring two caps directly into my bath when I was extra tired to give my brain a needed boost. On other occasions, I just applied some after I showered to my still damp body.

This formula has wonderful skin benefits with vitamin E, almond oil, and lemon oil besides such good things as wheat germ oil and rosemary leaf. What I really noticed was how those ingredients made my skin feel silky instead of greasy when I rubbed some over myself straight from the bottle.

Burt’s Bees Lemon & Vitamin E Bath & Body Oil retails for $8.00.

I wasn’t a big fan of bath oils because they made the bath water feel too slick–that is until I tried this one. Do check it out because it does nice things for a body!
