Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Update!
Awhile back I received my Burt's Bees Buzz Kit and I was super excited to try out the products they sent me! I love being a Buzz Agent, not because I get "free stuff", but because I get to try new products and share my experience and opinions. I feel the more opinions you find on a product, the better informed you can be before you buy it!
Anyway, I have loved the products I received and even purchased the eye cream to try out as well.
I am still loving the face wash. It definitely does not remove eye makeup and remover is necessary as I said in my previous post. I do love how it foams slightly and rinses off cleanly, leaving smooth hydrated skin. It is not overly hydrating and it doesn't leave any kind of film behind.
The mask soaks into the skin nicely and I really like how it leaves my skin feeling soft, again without residue or a greasy feeling.
I used one of the samples of the day cream. A little goes a long way. I have combination skin and I learned putting it just on my cheeks works best. I do get an oily t-zone which is more prominent when I use all of the products together. If you have very dry skin, this whole line would be perfect for you.
I am still loving the night cream. I do wake up with a bit of oiliness, but that doesn't last past a morning face wash. I love how both lotions soak right in leaving soft skin and no greasiness.
The Eye Cream is again, something I purchase myself, but I did use the $3 off coupon from the back of the face cream sample. The tip of the tube is like a silicone or rubber with a cross or x type opening where the product comes out. Like with the other products you don't need much. It's another great creamy, non-greasy product from the line. I tend to use this at night only as my eyelids also tend to become oily throughout the day.
This has been overall the best line of products from Burt's Bees. I won't say it's perfect for me with my combination skin, but it's a great winter regimen and I think all the under $20 price range for each product is reasonable.
Note: I did receive all the products free with the exception of the eye cream. All opinions my own.

Laura Geller femme fatale collection! (Limited Edition)
One of my most wanted makeup brands has been Laura Geller, specifically the baked products. I purchased my first Balance-n-Brighten from Haute Look because this isn't the cheapest brand out there. I realized though, that it is worth every penny of the full price!
I saw this femme fatale kit on Ulta for $39 and jumped on it! Most kits with full sized products run into the $60 range. This kit contains:
Balance-n-Brighten - Medium (Full Sized) $33.00
Blush-n-Brighten - Roseberry (Full Sized) $31.00
Baked Smokey Plum Eyeshadow trio (in a lacey compact!) $39.75
I-Care Waterproof Eyeliner - Purple Paradise (Full Sized) $18
Light Beams Ultimate Shine Lip Gloss - Passion Fruit (Full Sized) $17.00
This was the lest expensive kit for the value that I have ever seen.
$138.75 worth of product for $39!
While reading the booklet I got some tips about using the Balance-n-Brighten wet for fuller coverage. As you can see below, they really mean it when it starts as a cream and is baked to a powder. It looks so pretty and smooth wet!
Just look at the shine on the Balance-n-Brighten and Blush-n-Brighten when used wet!
I am so saving my money for more Laura Geller baked collection. The quality is as amazing and so worth the full price, but she always has great sets.
Do you have any Laura Geller products? If so, what are your favorite?

Burt's Bees® Intense Hydration with Cleary Sage
Buzz Kit Time! I received some awesome products to try from Burt's Bees!
In my kit I received the Face Cleanser, the Hydrating Mask and the Night Cream. I also received samples of the day and night cream to give to my friends. I did use one of the day cream samples for myself and used the coupon on the back to get $3.00 off of the eye cream.
After about 4 days of using the products, I notice that my skin is much softer and my makeup applies so much better now that the colder weather has set in.
Note: I have sensitive skin, rosacea and combination skin.
The face wash is a creamy one with a little bit of foaming action when wet. I have noticed it does remove my makeup very well, but a separate eye makeup remover is important. It does not do a very good job with leftover mascara. It doesn't dry out my skin, but leaves it very clean and soft.
The face mask felt a little tingly when I had it on. It's basically a very thick cream mask. It does help to hydrate like the other products, but so far I haven't seen anything too special about it.
The night cream and the day cream feel a little similar - as does the eye cream. The night cream is a little thicker. A TINY bit goes a LONG way. They are very non-greasy. They soak in quickly leaving smooth hydrated skin. The Night Cream comes in a jar. The day cream has a convenient pump. The eye cream has an interesting rubber tip that dispenses the product.
I will insert a picture of it soon.
Overall I am really liking these products. I have about the same amount of t-zone oiliness as usual, so I don't think it's a problem there. As I use the products further I will see if it becomes an issue or not.
Great products for dry skin - I am loving this kit for Fall/Winter. If it keeps working this well, I will purchase this line next Winter. I don't think it would suit my Summer skin. I am also guessing I won't have to purchase new lotions before the Spring as a tiny bit really does go a long way. Totally making them worth the $10 - $20 price range of the products.
~Note: I was sent these items for free in my Buzz Kit as I am a Buzz Agent. This is my honest opinion - I am not being paid.
