Oh how I love <a href="http://www1.burtsbees.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreCatalogDisplay?langId=-1&catalogId=10001&storeId=10001>Burt's Bees.

Several years ago when I was running Mom's store while she was in Georgia taking care of the Booms, I was flipping through some catalogs trying to find new, exciting products to offer. I came across some Burt's Bees lip balm and ordered some to sell. Thus began my love affair with the totally hippied out company and their products.

My current favorite of theirs is the Burt's Bees Baby Bee Buttermilk Bath Soak. This is a wonderful product for the bath. I highly recommend it! It has a light fragrance that relaxes me on olifactory impact and really takes me back to carefree toddler days, tub toys, and all the happy things of childhood. Is it really a baby product? Nah. It's just for anyone who would like to baby their skin.

Since I have sensitive skin, and since I am reeeaaally picky about my face not feeling gunky and slathered, I was excited to find out that Burt's Bees carries a whole skin care line, including excellent moisturizers. I use the shea butter decolletage crème and the beeswax moisturizing crème. I also like their lettuce toner and the pore refining mask.

While I really like their skincare, I haven't been able to get into their cosmetics. The cosmetics are greasy feeling and the colors don't stay true. Also, I'm not crazy about their soaps, which tend to leave a film on my skin. Nonwithstanding, I still try any new product they offer! And brilliantly, they usually offer trial sized packages that I can't resist.

Since they use real looking women for models, and since I like the majority of their line, but since I really hate the cosmetics and soaps, I give Burt's Bees 3 out of 5 marabou shoes.
