Burt's Bees

Tips and Toes Kit

My husband went and got me the tips and toes kit from Burt's Bees a couple weeks ago to try. I have really sensitive skin and I have to be careful what kind of products I use.
 I have wanted to try Burt's Bees for some time now and YAY, I finally got to.

The kit includes sample sizes of 6 different products. Or 5 and a lip balm stick...
You get:
Hand Salve
Almond & Milk Hand Cream
Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream
Coconut Foot Cream
Honey & Grapeseed Hand Cream
Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil

You get a lot and it was under $15.
I wanted to test them all out for a week or two and see how I liked them and I how I didn't.
He bought them at the beginning of March.
I think I have a pretty good idea what I think of them all lol
Lets start with the Hand Salve and go from there...

The Hand salve comes in a little tin (I'll insert a picture at the end), and it feels almost greasy without the Vaseline feel. It's a salve.. It works well after doing nails all day or working and they are super dry and crackly feeling. I prefer the next one. If I was to buy them all individually, I wouldn't buy the full size of this one. 
The next one (as mentioned above lol), is Almond & Milk hand cream.
LOVE this one. Everything about this one is amazing to me. The smell, the texture, how great it works. I just cannot get enough of it and plan to buy the full size one when I run out of this one!!
It really does smell amazing and a little sweet. But not over powering. At least not me. 
Super smooth and keeps my hand hydrated and soft for hours!
I will be buying this one individually.
Next, Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, is just as amazing. The smell reminds me of lemon mariange pie.
Its lemony, sweet and almost like the salve but a little thicker?! It doesn't feel quite as greasy but does wonders for my cuticles. Which if you read my blog, you have seen them in the past posts. You know they are not the best... Moving on. I will be buying this individually and is my new cuticle cream.
Not oil... CREAM... or balm...
Next, Coconut Foot Cream. It's like a mix between a cream and an oil. I use Coconut Oil as it is, for many things and that includes mine and my husbands feet. I prefer my oil. I put it on and socks and go to sleep. Or put a little in my bath but that's another story...
I like the smell and feel of this cream and it does work. I would buy this individually if I didn;t buy the oil. I might have to test this one against the oil and see which I like more. Sorry!
Next, Honey & Grapeseed Hand Cream.
I didn't know why there was 2 hand creams in this kit. Until I tried them. They are totally different and work differently. This one doesn't make my hands as soft as the Almond and Milk but it smells decent and does a good quick fix. I would carry this one in my purse or diaper bag. I would only buy thus again in the sample/travel size. Not a full individual size :/ Bummer.
Lastly (didn't sound like a word to me at first but what the hay..), 
Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil.
Really love this for my lips. So smooth going on and make my lips feel nice and moisturized. I have to put a little on and move it around with the pad of my finger cause to me it can go on a little thick. Almost feeling caked on if I'm not careful. But, the smell is great. The texture is smooth and nice. I really was happy with this one!
I was really happy with all of them! Even if I don;t buy them again, they were all great products and from a great company. LOVE them!!

I would recommend you go out and get this set to try them out.
That's all for now. Thanks for reading.


P.s. I was not, in any way, paid for this post. My husband bought this for me as a gift and was not paid either. These are my own feeling and opinions on these products/company. Thank you.

Starting a Youtube Channel?? and Vacation

YouTube?!?

There are so many YouTube channels and YouTubers out there, that I feel it's pointless to become another one cause nothing I could do would interest anyone.
But my friend had a funny, kinda sweet idea.
She wants me to start a Beauty Fail YouTube channel...
I know what that sounds like and that's exactly what it would be. Me trying out all the the beauty gurus secrets on YouTube and trying not to fail. Which I probably will.
Anything like hair, make up, and nails.
I am not too good at any of them but I can try. And I know that if I an do it, anyone can. Really!
I never really grew up with a mom that taught me make up or anything. I learned from friends and friends moms. I would watch them and try to replicate it the best I could. You know, what kids do...
I haven't decided yet if I want to do it yet. Mainly cause I have a lot of doubts and if anyone does see my videos all they're going to do is make fun of them and spread them around as a joke.
As much as I want to do this cause I think it would be funny. I also don't want all the negative that can come from it and the negative/mean people.
No idea why people cannot be nice to one another but... I can't change that.
 I keep pondering it and probably after everything is settled in out new place and I get my desk here, instead of using the dining room table, I'll have an answer.
In the meantime, I need to step up my blogging. Words are most times hard for me. I don't like writing if anyone is going to see it. (Bright idea having an Internet blog... :-/)
When I was younger I wanted to be a photo journalist and write my own articles but soon realized that putting together a couple paragraphs or pages and having people understand it and be able to follow along, not my strongest area.
I also suck at grammar and punctuation...

Well, other than that. I finally posted our trip pictures up and I'll include some down below.
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
