The Honest Company Purely Simple Lip Balm

This lip balm is originally sold in a pack of three with two other flavors but I am not sure if this is from the pack I bought or the one I got from my Glossybox subscription. It could be very be the one I tried from the subscription and then bought the lip balm set. Why am I bringing this up, frankly I have no idea...haha! Moving on, the lip balm went on like butter and left my lips soft and smooth. I didn’t notice a scent or taste to the lip balm. Which is good because I have a tendency of licking off my lip balm, especially those Strawberry Lip Smackers [*sigh*].  I did like how the ingredients list was all natural and easy to read. So, even if I did “accidentally” manage to taste a bit, I don’t have to worry about it. If you are a fan of Burt’s Bees Lip Balms, you should definitely give this a try.

Burt's Bees Soothingly Sensitive Aloe & Buttermilk Body Lotion

The hypoallergenic dermatologist tested is made for sensitive skin and clinically proven to provide  moisturization.  The 99% natural lotion is packed with natural extracts of aloe, buttermilk, chamomile, calendula, St. John’s Wort, rosemary and linden flower to smooth and soothe achy skin. The lotion absorbed quickly but left my hand feeling sticky and the lotion doesn’t smell very pleasant. It is not the worst lotion I have ever used but I am not really into the scent and my sticky fingers afterwards.

Gud Natural Body Butter Orange Petalooza Blood Orange Flower

Gud is created by the creators of Burt’s Bees, so it is not formulated with any parabens, phthalates or petrochemicals. The thick body butter has shea butter to help alleviate dry skin. This rich and creamy lotion is very moisturizing but it is a bit greasy. It does absorb quickly and leaves a scent of blood orange and hyacinth.  I personally, didn’t like the scent very much but I did like how my skin felt  after applying the body butter. I think next time, I will try another one of the other 5 scents available.

Burt’s Bees Naturally Ageless Smoothing Eye Cream

I have always been a big fan of Burt's Bees Radiance Eye Cream. I decided to give this eye cream a try mostly because it is formulated with pomegranates[everything is better with pommies], magnolia and horse chestnut extracts. The delicious [to me at least my brother hated the scent] scented eye cream promises to smooth and diminish the appearance of lines, crow’s feet, dark circles and under eye puffiness. The eye cream made my skin smooth and soft. The best part I was able to fake a good night sleep with the just a little eye cream the night before.

Pritte Organic Skin Therapy Moisturizing Body Lotion

The creamy body lotion is made with hand cut and filleted [does anyone else think about fish?] organic aloe vera and organic honey. The body lotion left my skin moisturized and glowy. It fully absorbed into my skin after couple minutes of application. The lotion has a soft honey citrus scent, non greasy and wasn’t very thick. The only thing I am a bit sad that the lotion is a bit expensive so I will probably buy this one in awhile as a treat.

Pura Botanica Spiced Citrus Soap

The Pura Botanica spiced citrus soap is packed with organic ingredients and natural oils to help nourish and soften skin. It washes away impurities without stripping skin of moisture. While the sweet citrus scent reminded me of Burt's Bees Citrus Spice Exfoliating Shower Soap but this one doesn’t have the rough edges like Burt’s which I like. The creamy soap gives a nice lather but it doesn’t moisturize my skin very well. I would recommend following up with lotion afterwards.

The Kelly Teegarden Organic Vitality Rose and Cucumber Eye Cream is packed with extracts and essential oils. The eye cream promises to soothe, reduce puffiness and dark circles.  I have been using the product for 3 months, and the skin around my eyes did become softer and a tad smoother.  The lightweight formula goes on smoothly and not greasy. 

Pangea Organics Lip Balm Italian Red Mandarin with Rose

This chubby lip balm is packed with Organic oils, vitamins, and essential fatty acids. The lip balm does hydrate my lip and keep it soft. It has a soft flowery smell as well. The only drawback is that the product doesn’t last, I am constantly reapplying every 45 minutes.  

Burts Bees Lemon & Vitamin E Bath and Body Oil

During the winter season, it's easy neglect your skin. After all, who will see or can judge your skins condition under three layers of clothes? But even though it is so easy to forget about your skin, sometimes it is good to pamper yourself, especially since the cold weather can leave it much more dry and wry than during the other seasons. The Burt’s Bees Lemon body oil is a perfect treat for thirsty skin. The oil is packed with lemon oil, vitamin E and sweet almond oil. It leaves your skin feeling buttery soft, without leaving your skin feeling greasy. And as an added bonus, it leaves a soft lemony scent on your skin.

Coola Face 30 spf Sunscreen - Unscented

I love that this sunscreen is thick, absorbent and moisturizing. I am so used to apply moisturizer before putting sunscreen. To my amazement, this sunscreen keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day. I also adore how this sunscreen does not leave a white film all over your face. I think this one of the best sunscreens I have tried. It doesn’t have a chemical scent, [I do believe it comes also in a cucumber scent], doesn’t leave a white film and it moisturizes like a moisturizer. What more can you ask for in a sunscreen? An added benefit, this sunscreen is 70% organic including all 12 botanical extracts.
