This has been my go-to brow-gel product for some time now, I can't lie - but it's really not the best.
The gel doesn't hold for more than a minute and definitely will not hold your brows for an entire day. It's moreso what I use to "set" my brows without the expectation that they'll hold up for the day. I haven't found a good dupe quite yet in terms of a clear brow gel and this does for now, but definitely not the greatest or even close.

Canadian winters are brutal on my lips, and this product is such an incredible find. I found myself browsing for an overnight fix to chapped, cracking and bleeding lips and found this product for what I think was a quite cheap price compared to other overnight lip products.
I use this all the time, and such a small amount is needed. It works great, and really does work wonder on chapped lips. I usually apply it at night as part of my nightly skin routine, but sometimes also apply it when putting on makeup to soften my lips before I put on my lipstick.
So glad I found this, and will most definitely keep buying this one.

Profile: Light-fair skin, oily t-zone but mostly dry skin, and sensitive skin.
I bought this product online a while back in two colours (online purchases are not great for makeup that way). I've never had a natural foundation and since I love Burt's Bee products overall I was eager to give this a shot. First off, looking at the product - the consistency is good for blending, it definitely has a bit of a funky sweet smell that dissipates however after application, and the colour (once I got the right one) was a decent match.
I tend to apply this product in small amounts with a brush or my fingers, and I find that it tends to crease or spread poorly in more "oily" areas of my face - such as the chin, and under eyes. I haven't found a way to fix this and tend to use it very infrequently due to this issue. Overall, I would probably try a different natural foundation brand over this one that better suits my skin quality. This product wasn't super cheap either - which makes it a bit more disappointing.

Favourite part: ingredient list
Least favourite part: nothing. love this product.
As a curly-haired girl and one who prefers natural products, finding the right shampoo and conditioner has been tricky. This Argan oil shampoo and condition combo has become a staple in my routine. I buy huge jugs of this stuff and so far I am super satisfied (at least until my hair gets tired of it and I'll need to rotate products). I started using it with my virgin hair, but use it with my colour-treated highlights and am still very happy.
I shampoo my hair twice a week, and I love the lather this product gives me which is sometimes missing in natural products. I tend to focus on my scalp in order not to do strip my natural oils from the ends of my hair too much (hello, frizztown). I also enjoy the smell which is not overpowering.
I use the conditioner much more, in between washes and every time I shower. It instantly makes my hair super soft, and helps me comb out any knots in the shower. Once my shower ends I put a tiny bit of the condition in my palm, and scrunch it into my hair before stepping out. I have very thick curly hair and this was recommended to me by my hairstylist. It helps keeps my ends soft.
Overall I really think this shampoo gives you a great value for your money. It's not super expensive and doesn't have all the trash ingredients found in so many other products.

I've been using this exfoliator for about 3 months now, and am so happy to have found it. I typically opt for more natural skin care but having sensitive and dry skin, previous natural scrubs and exfoliating (ex. gloofa, coffee, sugar) methods were way too harsh for my face.
I learned about chemical exfoliators which brought me to this product. As someone who's face burns from even some of the most "gentle" masks and face products, I was excited to see this product was very well suited for sensitive skin. I typically use this product at night before bed about 2-3 times a week. It has a gentle smell which I don't mind, and a little goes a long way with this product.
Since using it, I have noticed a big difference not just on my face but also on my chest (where I sometimes get acne). On my chest especially I've noticed a huge difference. And on my face, whereas it used to take me about 4 days for a pimple to go away, this product makes it disappear almost overnight, or two nights at most.
I used a large bottle between myself and my partner and we've still got quite a bit left. It is on the pricier end and maybe not within range for everyone. Will probably be buying this one again and again and have already recommended to friends.
