Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint
Really excellent at doing exactly what it says it will. Chapped lips perfectly soft and moisturized. I got this as a freebie for posting on Instagram and loved it.

A bottle of this product is $2. I wouldn't buy it super regularly, but I would buy it again for sure. It tastes like real juice.. not like sugar "juice". I'm slightly confused as to how they did this because I don't see raspberries anywhere in the ingredients and sugar is the second ingredient right after water. So while you might think that the naturally flavoured fruit juice might be healthier, I'm not sure how true that is. (Not that they claim this, it's just what I thought might be a thing, but totally isn't).
I absolutely love this flavour, the pomegranate raspberry flavour is not too overpowering. Just really nice and refreshing!
*To add I was given a free coupon to review this... however the only location I could find this flavour at wouldn't accept my coupon so I had to pay my own money .. but I still really like it. If you are lucky enough to find this flavour, I definitely recommend trying it out!

I am so happy with this product! When applying it left my skin feeling smooth and creamy, like moisturizer, and rubbed in really easily. This in drastic comparison to the typical sunscreen that is usually a bit of a pain to rub in and then leaves skin feeling greasy or oily. The smell was nothing of a typical sunscreen smell either. It wasn't a lovely smell like moisturizer, but much more toned down than I was expecting and not bad at all. I really look forward to using this sunscreen this upcoming summer!

I got this for free to review. And I am so happy that I did! I have issues with dry skin, especially on my hands. Every morning I moisturize my hands, but by the time I get to work they are dry again, and I didn't always love the smells of other creams. This is a gel cream, and whereas with other creams my hands might be left feeling oily after, this one doesn't do that at all. Feels really nice and smooth without being overly oily while it sets in. The smell, while not being my favourite scent, is really mild and just smells nice and clean. But my favourite thing of all is I find when I apply this in the morning my hands stay moisturized for the whole day! -

These wipes work really well, effective at removing all makeup, even my waterproof mascara, with no remaining bits to find smudged under my eyes the next morning. Some makeup wipes irritate my face, but I had no issues with that when using these. Very gentle.
My complaint is not in the functioning of these, but in the premium paid to have single use makeup wipes instead of buying a bigger pack with many wipes. I guess if you for some reason need to keep some in your purse this could come in handy. I'm also not a fan of the single use and therefore more garbage as a result. It isn't very environmentally friendly.
Overall, good product, single use could be useful if needing to keep just one makeup wipe on hand. If you are just using it at home to clean your face at the end of the day, I'd go for the same brand, but the larger packs.

Initial reaction: It felt really thick on my fingers and when i started applying it all I could smell is what gave me true elementary school flashbacks - this stuff smells just like glue.
BUT... I love it. It felt really good on my face, I ended up liking the thickness of it. It doesn't feel thick on the skin, but it does feel like it gives a bit of a blur to imperfections. That is not to say that it completely hides them.. let's be real, this is a moisturizer. But I was very happy with the look and feel of it. MY skin is often very dry and this helped so much with that, for the whole day.
I really, really want more (I had received this as a sample at Sephora).. but at $40 for 50ml I'm not likely to make that splurge.

*Back story, I began with 0 pimples. Used the peel off mask and cleanser from the same line in the two days prior to trying this mask and now had four pimples.
First impression: Again, super fun to have a pink clay. It didn't smell as strong as the others, which makes sense because there was more of a clay smell instead. It spread on nicely and there was enough left over after covering my entire face that if I had wanted to I could have saved some for spot treatments. (Spoiler, I didn't want to.)
Everything dried up and when taking it off I found this mask a bit harder to remove than other clay masks I have used, leaving my skin a bit red as I had to scrub a bit harder. My skin does feel really nice and clean after rinsing it off, however the kicker is... where I had four pimples following the other products in this line? Yeah after removing this clay mask there is now another one on my forehead. So that's cool... I hope you can sense my sarcasm :D
I feel this product would be really amazing for someone who often needs stronger products for their face. However my skin seems to be far too sensitive to handle it.

I wanted to like this SO BAD. It smelled nice, I really enjoyed the application of it and the process of it turning from gel to foam. However, when it was on my face it felt.. harsh. After removing it although I guess my face was clean it also felt SO dry. Painfully dry.
I used this the day after using the Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit peel-off mask which I felt had set me up for pimples. This is important to add because I can't say which exactly gave me the pimples, although I'm guessing it was a group effort between the two.. because by the same evening that I washed my face with this cleanser... FOUR pimples. And my face had somehow been pimple free for a full week before I used this product. So yeah I probably would not recommend this product. It's far too harsh for anyone with sensitive skin, in my experience and opinion.

My initial reaction was that I loved the colour of this mask! I got to have a bubblegum pink face for 20 minutes! It smelled amazing as well. In those 20 minutes it did the usual peel off mask thing where it hardens to a point where you can't move your face until you have the thrill of peeling it allll off. The peel off process of this was amazing. Everything came off in one piece, with no pain! Hardly any little bits left behind, amazing!
After taking it off my face felt dry, which I have come to sort of expect seeing as it has just peeled off the surface layer of stuff on my skin (if the job was done properly). What was more alarming to me was that upon examining my skin closely after taking this mask off, it looked different than before... less smooth. As if just from those 20 minutes my face had already started the beginning stages of pimples. (Before this mask my face had miraculously been pimple free for at least a week).
In the end, I loved the way the mask looked, felt, smelled... but unfortunately it doesn't seem that it agreed with my skin. I would recommend that everyone TRY the mask as it is a nice one, but to be wary knowing that for some skin types it may just be... too much.
