Fabulous Finds Friday

Today's FFF comes without a photo, because who doesn't recall seeing the cheery yellow and cream packaging of a Burt's Bees product? They abound -- from your local grocery to a book store, you can find BB everywhere. I consider their product low priced.


In the mid '90s (can't recall exact date), I was writing a beauty column for a local magazine when BB came to town and put on a seminar (and fed us quite well). It was fun to hear how BB got started -- (humble beginnings in Maine from a local bee-keeper) and evolved into the multi-million product industry it is today, still keeping their product as natural as they can....

Here is BB product I have used for ages and really love. (I have used everything they offer, but these are the ones I have kept):

Baby Bee Apricot oil -- uhmmmm -- smells yummy and makes your skin so soft and fragrant...I use this in the winter just out of the shower or bath.

Honey and Grape seed hand cream -- goes on fast and absorbs fast.

Baby Bee Buttermilk -- smells wonderful and absorbs fast.

Beeswax lip balm.

Radiance Body Lotion -- for when I am bearing skin. It has mica in it so gives it some sheen!

I don't care for the makeup much, though in the summer I like their shimmer lip stick, it's sheer and stays on pretty good -- though my lips seem to eat lipstick quickly...

I do not like their sunscreen with hemp seed oil. It doesn't absorb well at all, and it chalky white, and smells.....
