I usually find Burt's bees products to be too rich and oily for my sensitive fair combination skin, but this stuff is a perfect fit. I have recently started an acne care regimen that has worked wonders on my trouble areas, but leaves my whole face dry and itchy, so I wanted a soothing, light, yet effective cream that would replenish my lost moisture and even out my skin tone, which is precisely what this claims to do...and does beautifully! I wear this at night over their radiance serum and wake up in the morning with calm, dewy, clear, soft skin. No breakouts, no flakes, no pores, just gorgeous. The texture is a little wierd...like Nickolodeon Gak, waxy at first, then runny, but it actually just sinks right into your skin. And don't be put off by the sparkles...they look terrifying and teen-beauty-pageanty in the jar, but are indetectable on face or pillowcase.

And if they still made it in brown, I'd still be wearing it every day. Its gentle, lasts all day, and my lashes look thick and soft, not at all clumpy. The brown was such a pretty, subtle chocolate shade, and it looked really good with all skintones and haircolors, so I'm pretty disappointed they've stopped making it. :(

I use this once a week post-shower to smooth my skin and even out my complexion, and the results are pretty incredible. After 10 minutes my pores are noticeably tighter, acne lessions are smaller, redness and inflamation visibly reduced, and my skin feels like velvet. It can be a little drying, so I recommend following up with an intense moisturizer.

I've already raved about other products in this line, and this one is no exception...this is probably the most intense, decadent moisturizer I've ever used, yet it never feels heavy or greasy, no matter how much I slather on! Its so luxurious, I even use it as a shaving cream, and it leaves my legs impossibly smooth and shiny. Plus, the musky peach and bergamot fragrance is so addictive, and light enough to layer. Best of all, a GIANT tub is only $10! I went back and bought three ;)

From the cheeky packaging to the delicate fragrance, this whole line is just so good...It feels like a luxury brand, but everything is $10 or under! This salt scrub is really thick and chunky, so unlike many scrubs it stays where you put it...in fact sometimes its a challenge to rinse it all the way off, which is the only drawback I can think of. It wiped out all my rough and bumpy bits, and left my legs feeling slinky smooth. In fact, I don't even bother moisturizing after I've used this, because it really seals in moisture, but, shockingly, it hasn't made me break out. The scent is a blend of peach, bergamot, and musk thats just really soothing and gorgeous, and it lingers ever so slightly on skin.

A lot of dru shampoos leave a powdery, pale buildup, making them less than ideal for brunettes, but this one is completely clear and has no residue that I can detect. In addition to mopping up oil and adding texture and volume, it still leaves my hair soft and shiny. The only major drawback for me is the strong scent; Its lush and beautiful, but it competes with my perfume too much.

...on my dry chapped lips. I've tried absolutely everything, but this old school ointment is the best. I slather it on before bed and wake up to plump, soft lips that last all day long. While I'm not nuts about the petrolatum, I can't argue with the results, the price, or the slight vanilla-mint fragrance.

I keep this cute little bottle in my purse to refresh my face during the day...on hot, muggy days it is a lifesaver! The formula is light, fresh, hydrating, and packed with antioxidants, and the scent is a bright and revitalizing burst of herbal yumminess, but evaporates quickly so it doesn't compete with my perfume. Also wonderful for when you're trapped indoors with dry heat or air conditioning.

So it sounds completely counter-intuitive to use oil to fight oil, but once I let the staffers at Lucky magazine talk me into it (they are ALWAYS right, btw), I was in awe. This is the tiniest, chicest, most luxurious little bottle, the concentrate is light and velvety smooth and gorgeously fragranced, and it only takes one or two drops to leave my complexion even and dewy and completely moisturized, yet somehow, inexplicably, clear as a bell. I use a bit of this in the morning under a tinted moisturizer, and a little more at night to enhance my night cream. Its never greasy, and the bottle lasts forever. Did I mention that it smells incredible? Well worth the splurge.

I got this on a whim, because I wanted to spoil myself with something really luxe...and wow! It was wonderful. It made me wonderful. I was doing a lot of work travel at the time, and this super rich cream kept me feeling hydrated and protected under all kinds of crazy condition, wind, rain, sun, flying...it claims to be formulated with extracts from deep sea organisms that survive under the harshest conditions on the planet (how cool is that? Science!), and to pass their benefits on to you. While that sounds a little far fetched, I can't argue with the fact that as long as I used this I had the skin of a twelve year old. At $50+, its out of my budget, but I'd buy it again in a heart beat, especially if I knew I was heading into stressful conditions.
