Burt's Bees - Honey, We're Home!

Literally EVERYONE in Rawrville loves Burt's Bees, not just Tara and I, but our boys too! It's probably one of the only beauty ranges we buy that our men are happy to have on their side of the bathroom shelves, and we've just discovered a few more new Burt's Bees faves that we can all share, so obviously we wanted to share with you too :)

First up is the Ultimate Care Body Lotion, £11.99. It combines Baobab oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil and Green Tea Extract, is 99% natural and will provide all day moisturisation.

Tara and I both get really dry skin in the winter, constantly covering up and indulging in hot baths can take it's toll, and I have always suffered with sensitive skin on my legs so a good body lotion is an essential piece of kit. We both agree that this one from Burt's is a godsend. You don't need a lot to get that luxurious happy skin feeling, and it sinks comfortably in without leaving a nasty sticky film. I've been using it after a shower or bath for about a week now and the difference in my skin is amazing, no more itchy shins! It's also fragrance free, so the boys have been using it too (though sparingly and generally on manly parts like rough elbows and ankles!), as it powers through male body hair like a boss to the skin beneath!

My guy actually bought a Burt's Beeswax & Banana Hand Creme all by himself last year (I convelled when he pulled it out of the bag!) and uses it religiously before bed every night so I knew he'd love to share the Tips and Toes Kit, £12.99. It's a collection of Burt's hand and feet products so you can try them all out before going in for the full sizes, and contains Almond Milk Hand Creme, Hand Salve, Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey & Grapeseed Hand Creme, Coconut Foot Creme, Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme and a Replenishing Lip Balm.

The boys LOVE this kit. My guy works with his hands all day, and is often outside in the cold, so he's no stranger to a hand product and knows what he likes. He is loving the Hand Salve, an intensive treatment for hardworking hands. A little goes a very long way, and we'll definitely be investing in a full size pot for him! We've all been using the Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme, which is surprising because you'd assume it was aimed at women, but the scent is so yummy and it gives your nails such a clean, fresh feeling that it's been a hit all around! Us girls were immediately taken with the Coconut Foot Creme, but the boys preferred to use the Ultimate Care Body Lotion on their feet. Maybe the scent is a little off putting for the masculine nose but we loved it! The 100% natural Almond Milk Hand Creme is a dream and the scent is delicious, while the boys preferred the more discreet but just as effective Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey & Grapeseed Hand Creme. Finally, we all fought over the Replenishing Lip Balm! It's slightly tinted so the boys were hesitant, but it's a natural tint that is included to make lips look as renewed and as healthy as they feel after using it, so the flush of colour is barely noticeable and the balm took effect after just one application! Overall, this is a great little starter kit and would make a lovely gift for a Burt's fan, man or woman. We've definitely found a few new faves that we'll be buying in full sizes!

Are you a Burt's Bees fan like us? Got any recommendations for us?
