Burt’s Bees Eye Creams

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011 | 57 Comments

If ever there were something I could say was my current “boom” it would be eye creams from Burt’s Bees! Honestly just in the past two weeks I’ve been obsessed with their line of eye creams. I will most likely end up purchasing all 4 of the different creams!

In recent months I’ve been wanting to find a nice firming eye cream. I used to only worry about dark circles but now my eyelids do this thing where they look SO extra hooded many days and I hate how tired that makes me look. Now it happens almost every day especially noticeable after work.

I had liked Boscia eye serums in the past but I’ve been in the mood for more of a drugstore find. Cheaper and I could return it if I hated it. So I tried a few; Olay, Lumene, etc, but didn’t love anything. The Olay one was great at first, then I stopped seeing results.

Then a few weeks ago I noticed my eyelids and around my eyes becoming more dry as winter winds became harsher. Usually my daily moisturizer was enough to cure this but not this time because I’m out walking more this winter. Plus, to be honest, I spent a whole week crying recently which made the problem a million times worse. I didn’t want to stop wearing eye makeup though (*I know, dumb.)

So when I saw Burt’s Bee s Sensitive Eye Cream I figured I’d love their shampoo so why not give it a try! My current moisturizer now burned the dry skin when I put it on so I was hoping this would at least not sting.

Burt's Bees

Softens and helps replenish skin’s outer layer with Cotton Extract

Helps reduce the appearance of under-eye puffiness

Formulated with White Genepi Extract and Eyebright

All day formula

Fragrance-free, hypo-allergenic and allergy-tested

Dermatologist-tested and ophthalmologist-tested

The next morning after using this my eyes were already 50% better!!!!!!!! NO LIE. Instant love! About 3 days later I no longer had any dry patches on my eyelids or around my eyes. So I read up on their other eye creams and want to try them all. They’re all a little different. Some for fine lines, some for dark circles, etc.

I bought their Radiance Eye Creme with royal jelly this week…
love it even more!

Burt's Bees

Royal Jelly, one of nature’s most nourishing substances, and bee pollen naturally replenish and renew your skin’s essential nutrients, restoring a smooth, youthful appearance. This highly-concentrated formula also contains chamomile, cucumber and rosehip extracts, which are known to promote skin renewal and reduce puffiness and swelling. Natural mica diffuses light to minimize the look of fine lines.

Actually the two compliment each other well. I use the Radiance eye cream at night. It has a bit of an “au natural” organic smell to it .. not bad but not something I’d want under my makeup. So I apply it at night. It has REALLY helped reduce puffiness which causes my eye to become extra hooded. Now my eyes look 5 years younger. Like my eyes used to look!

I use the Sensitive eye cream in the morning after applying my all-over moisturizer. It’s fragrance free and mild, dries clean too so great for under my makeup. And it’s keeping my eyelids nice and moisturized!

Wow that was a really long entry on 2 eye creams
It’s just something I’m super obsessed with at the moment!

Kose Happy Bath Day

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011 | 36 Comments

Recently I noticed Yesstyle had two new Happy Bath Day items in stock and I realized I never shared my thoughts about the Happy Bath Day Body Butter I picked up from Yesstyle! Well Happy Bath Day items are rose-scented and this tiny tube of body butter is no exception. The rose scent is phenomenal. One of my favorites. It’s light & happy!

Happy Bath Day body butter

It is a body butter so it’s a bit heavier on the essential rose oil. It’s a little too greasy for the hands for me because I worry about getting any oil on my face. But I did love it for my legs in summer and shorts season! It left them looking glowing and healthy! It was also small enough to carry around with me and I still have plenty left. A little goes a long way!
