What was so amazing about this package was that the products arrived in a replica cardboard house of were Burt’s Bees started. The inside the box was full of detailed information about the products. The box also contained a booklet – well actually a little more than a booklet, as when I opened it, a video about Burt and how the company started, started playing inside the booklet. Amazing! Previously working as a marketing and brand manager, and being used to putting point-of-sale material together, I can only imagine the work, and not to mention cost, that has gone into producing this. I’m impressed.
The package also contained a USB cord, so you could connect
the booklet so you computer and watch the video from there – or as I’ve done,
put it into this post, so you can enjoy it too..
The box also contained some of Burt’s Bees classic products
we well information cards about all the products. But before I start running
you through the products, let me first quickly introduce you to Burt’s Bees;
Burt’s Bees was founded almost 30 years ago when a beekeeper
was selling honey from the back of his truck, and he decided to use the leftover
beeswax from the honey bees to make candles, and since then more products were
quickly added to the product range.
All the products from Burt’s Bees are developed with the idea that ‘Nature knows best’ in mind, and consequently the ingredients used are all natural – 100% natural – which means that they of course are free from all the chemical nasties including phthalates, parabens, petrolatum, or SLS.
Now let me get onto the classic Burt’s Bees products which
were included in the box:
Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream
I honestly don’t know why I haven’t posted about this
cuticle cream before. I have gone through several of these jars. I love it, so
no complaints from me now having a backup! It not only has the most amazing
zesty lemon scent – my favourite scent, but it is also so effective at keeping
your cuticles soft and hence your nails looking nicer. The small tin looks
tiny, but it is so concentrated, that it will last you forever. No wonder this
product has won so many awards! RRP: $14.95 (17g)
I have previously
declared my love for Burt’s Bees Lip Balm in my Top 5 Favourite Lip Balms, but
this tube with Vitamin E and Peppermint is new to me, and I already love it.
And the tin is absolutely perfect for keep keeping at the bedside table. Can
you believe it, but the tube of lip balm is so popular that a tube is sold
every 2 seconds!! RRP: Tube: $7.95 (8.5g), Tube: $6.95 (4.25g)
This foot crème is very thick, and does leave the feet
feeling a little sticky, so it is definitely one of those products that are
best used at night with a pair of old socks on top. But it is totally worth it, as the next
morning you wake with the softest feet ever. I am not the greatest fan of
coconut scented products, but on my feet I can certainly accept it, especially
when the results are this good. And the added peppermint has a nice cooling
effect so perfect for tired legs too. RRP: $24.95 (123g)
This Hand Salve is thick and quite greasy, so it really is perfect for super dry and damaged hands, including after a day in the garden. It contains sweet almond oil, beeswax, vitamins and botanical oils to help deeply nourish the skin. It has a nice herbal scent, which lingers for quite a while, which I like as it is so natural. As it is greasy, it is not ideal for use during the day, but absolutely perfect just before going to bed. RRP: $24.95 (85g)
Burt's Bees Shea Butter Hand Cream
This hand cream is slightly thicker than the Shea Butter Hand Cream, but not as thick as the Hand Salve. The concentrated cream takes a little bit to absorb into the skin, but once it has, you can feel the goodness of the ingredients immediately. It contains among others beeswax, almond milk, and glycerin to soothe and relieve dry and cracked hands. Thanks to the almond milk, it has a really strong and sweet scent of almonds, which some may find a little sickening, but personally I think it is quite lovely. It comes in a super cute old style glass jar. RRP: $19.95 (57g)

Yeah, its packaged amazingly, isn't it! I love the cuticle butter too!
DeleteI love the culticle butter & foot cream isn't that bad either :) But hand salve was just whatever to me because the packaging is stupid for a "hand cream" . And I didn't like the smell of Beeswax hand cream :S
