Burt's Bees
 
Does anyone use Burt's Bees products? If so, which do you use and why do you love them so? hehe. I'm now a die-hard Burt's fan. I just tried some products on a whim, but now I'm addicted.

i don't have any myself but my friend has the most amazing lip stuff .... i use it all the time! she has some kind of lemon oil hand balm that smells kind of icky but works so well too ... i need to get me some of it!

AchtungBaby80 04-08-2003 09:25 AM

My little sister swears by the lip stuff and she's only 12, so I think I'm going to try some! :)

Burt's Bees Milk & Honey lotion. Feels like silk, and I get complimented for my "perfume" all day. I live in a very dry climate, and it is the best thing I have found that doesn't make me fell icky.

L-O-V-E-I-T.

Oh yes it is great! I'm a big milk & honey fan now regardless of the brand name...

Burt is great stuff! My little got me the head to toe sampler for Christmas and I just love all the stuff. The hand salve is great too for rough skin around your nails.

Burt's Bees Beeswax Moisturizing Cream

Dude, this stuff is the SH*T!!! lol

greeklawgirl 04-08-2003 11:12 AM

I'm wearing the Burt's Bees Lip Balm right now! I love it!

The Milk and Honey lotion is so light and non-sticky and it smells wonderful. I'm also a fan of the Lettuce Toner.

shopgirl 04-08-2003 11:33 AM

Where do you guys buy this stuff from?
I see they have a webpage in which you can order from, but is that the only way?

KillarneyRose 04-08-2003 11:48 AM

I LOVE Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream! Smells divine and really moisturizes dry cuticles. Also, I recently bought some Chamomile Complexion Mist. I spritz some on my face as a little afternoon pick-me-up and it feels great.

Shopgirl, I get my Burt's products at the local healthfood/healthy lifestyle store. I'm not sure, but I think there's a section on the Burt's website that allows you to find which stores in your area carry the products :)

MoxieGrrl 04-08-2003 12:24 PM

I love their tomato soap! The moisturizing cream is great too. :)

dzandiloo 04-08-2003 12:53 PM

I get Burt's Bees in the grocery store, here in Lubbock...they keep it on an end cap all its own! Also, drugstore.com gives samplers of the stuff away free sometimes w/purchase of $15 or more (that's how I tried it the first time...).

Hand Salve & Lip Balm are awesome too!!!

I gave the guys sampler to my bro-in-law for Christmas...he said he loves the aftershave & other stuff...see, even guys like it!

Betarulz! 04-08-2003 03:02 PM

An ex-flame got me addicted to the lip balm after thanksgiving. I'm going to try some of Burt's other stuff too, b/c it seems like such a great company!

MuAZD 04-08-2003 03:10 PM

I ordered a little trial size thing of Burt's Bees stuff. I got lip balm (which I love!), the hand salve, some type of carrot moisturizer, cuticle cream, hair treatments, and some other stuff. Its strange to see all the beauty products you can make from random things. The only bad thing that I've come across is that some of the tins are hard to open. It took three guys to open a tin for me one time.

lindsay_iu 04-08-2003 04:02 PM

I'm a complete addict. I use:

Baby Bee Buttermilk Soap - not just for babies..my skin has never been so soft and hydrated

Orange Essence Facial Cleanser

Citrus Facial Scrub

Wild Lettuce Toner

Marshmallow Vanishing Cream

Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

Hand Salve

Coconut Foot Cream

and of course, the Lip Balm

Jaggergirl 04-08-2003 04:35 PM

I've tried the lip balm and its pretty good.

I'm curious about this face spray. Kilarney Rose does it clean or is it just like a refreseher?

Honeykiss1974 04-08-2003 04:55 PM

I use..
 
Burt's Bees Rasberry Lip Gloss and just their plain camphor lip balm.

No complaints here! :D

recentASAalum 04-08-2003 08:04 PM

everyone's positive endorsements have convinced me to go and buy their little trial pack thing... I've been thinking about it for awhile so I went ahead and bought... online no less... Online shopping is evil!!! :)

Just tried some
 
Of the Burt's Bees lotion, the one that has a warm coconut smell. I found it at a DSW shoe warehouse in Torrance, Calif. I may go back and buy some if it's cheaper than other places.

It's pretty much just a feel-good refresher thing :)

suzymoonspider 04-08-2003 08:27 PM

I have never found anything as effective as Burt's Bees...the lip balm is wonderful and the new tins are better cause as mentioned before, the old ones were hard to open. I don't know if I could function without it:)

Lisa!

texas*princess 04-08-2003 09:06 PM

Wow. I feel so uneducated!!! I have never even *heard* of Burt's Bees until I started reading this thread.

All the products sound awesome!!!!

dzandiloo 04-09-2003 12:25 AM

Dude! I just found a long lost tin of lemon butter cuticle creme and a little sampler of Avocado Butter Hair Treatment!!! I thought I was out of the cuticle cream & boy are my cuticles heinous...

Has anyone tried the avocado butter hair treatment? I got it in a sampler and I'm kind of scared to try it.

Back to the cuticle creme....

Burt's Bees Kicks Butt

lindsay_iu 04-09-2003 12:31 AM

I tried the hair cream and I hated it! Blahhh... it seemed like it just didn't rinse out all the way, even though I rinsed my head for like 5 minutes.

Tracy-I LOVE this stuff-it is the best cuticle cream I have tried.

ZTAMich 04-09-2003 11:35 AM

My lip balm is missing and it's driving me crazy!!!!!

carnation 04-11-2003 05:42 PM

Okay, I am HOOKED. I tried out some milk and honey lotion in a little store in Auburn yesterday and my skin stayed soft and fragrant all day. I have to find an outlet here!!

AlphaGam1019 04-11-2003 06:59 PM

you can always order it online-- http://www.burtsbees.com :)

Shine 04-11-2003 07:38 PM

I got my shipment of Burt's Bees stuff from Drugstore.com yesterday.

I tried everything in the sampler. I didn't really like the foot creme, it was like putting grease on my feet. I refuse to try the avocado hair butter. Yuck.

I of course love my lip balms. I've got a stick and a tin of the regular, and then a stick of the SPF 15 kind.

I've had my cuticle cream for awhile and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

I also bought a jar of the Almond Milk hand creme. I dig it.

AlphaGam1019 04-11-2003 07:44 PM

I also love the cuticle cream. It was perfect for me.

Anyone try the shampoo bar??

I tried it & got mixed results. LOVED the scent-it cleared my sinuses and made my scalp tingle. Only thing was the rinse-out. When I'm home, it won't come out. I think our water is too soft. In Dallas, it came out just fine, though. Try it, but be prepared to have to follow with something else to get it out if your water doesn't do the trick.

carnation 07-10-2007 09:31 AM

bumping this up for all the Burt's Bees fans!

summer_gphib 07-10-2007 10:18 AM

They actually have a pretty great cosmetics line too. I LOVE Burt's Bees concealer. It covers, without feeling like pancake makeup. And it seems to last forever.

I agree with the Milk & Honey lotion, it's one of the best lotions I've ever used.

bcdphie 07-10-2007 11:15 AM

I use a variety of Burt's Bees products: tinted moisturizer, banana handcream, beeswax chap stick, lemon cuticle cream, hand scrub (can't remember what it's actually called right now).

I especially love the tinted moisturizer right now, as I have a nice tan, and it covers up little imperfections on my face without covering up the tan.

Carnation, dear greek sister friend,

Were you thinking of me???

::wink::

Educatingblue 07-11-2007 09:13 AM

I use the banana hand cream and love it. I am planning on trying the lipgloss.

carnation 12-05-2007 11:58 PM

Did y'all see where Burt's Bees was bought by Clorox?

Oh, please don't change the products!

-lol, sageofages, I just saw what you wrote in July--

Baby Bee
 
I love the Baby Bees stuff! Their Diaper Rash cream smells so yummy - people used to ask me what I was using to make my boys (when they were little, obviously) smell so good! It works well, though not as well as Boudreaux's Butt Paste.

This makes AlphaFrog incredibly sad.

AlphaFrog loves Burts Bees.

I love their Farmer's Friend hand salve.
