Swap!

Did a swap with Anupa and her items were literally perfect. Just earlier today I was adding honey to some puff wheat cereal thinking about how freakin’ much I LOVE honey while also trying to find time to paint my nails later tonight but wasn’t sure which polish I wanted to use and BAM! this arrives.

Another Saturday

Some pics from a few hours ago. Went into the city and stopped by the National Building Museum. They have a really great gift shop actually. And then headed to Capitol Hill to have lunch at Good Stuff Eatery. I wore pants though because it was supposed to be another cool day but it ended up being pretty hot. I should have just worn the dress I wanted but oh well what’s a little sweat anyway.

From the gift shop. Pantone, wooden utensils, & metro maps happen to be some of my favorite things.

I’ve also continued with last week’s free sample usage.

I was so disappointed by Burt’s Bees’ Radiance set. These two items worked amazingly. My skin looked so good with the radiance moisturizer! However the scent just really bothered me. :(

I’m really sensitive the scents in facial products. This one just smelled sort of like stale sweet tea… and it didn’t fade which was the real problem. I ended up having to wash it off. But aside from the scent the product was really good.

The Skin Food samples were nice. Skin Food items are always nice but not always noteworthy.

Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration

This winter I tried out Burt’s Bees new Intense Hydration line and I actually just finished the jar of night cream. I’m almost done with a tube of eye cream and I also used half of the intensive mask all from the same line. :)

I liked this line.

It worked great for my extra dry winter skin without causing breakouts. I used the night cream and eye cream daily and the mask every other week.

The treatment mask is more intense and I did find if I used it multiple times a week it was too thick and I’d get a tiny zit from it. So using it more sparingly prevented that. It’s really incredible for skin that is extra wind burned or so dry that it’s already flaking.

The night cream is really light for being so effective. It doesn’t feel particularly moisturizing right away but it is soothing and cooling and does the trick. Since finishing the jar I started trying something new and my skin is already getting drier. Though I don’t think I would need this cream during the summer I might have to pick up some more just to get through spring.

Lastly I love the scent. The clary sage reminds me of the beach and all these items smell exactly the same.

So yeah… I am super happy with this line especially as a winter hydration fix!
