    It's a warm deep apricot with strong red undertones.

    I love this blush! It's a warm deep apricot with strong red undertones. Highly pigmented; a lot goes a long way.

    Really easy to blend. I like to layer over a little bit of bronzer or to add a pop of colour to a softer peachy shade. I'd highly recommend, especially for the price. I think it transcends seasons nicely. It has longevity too. I applied at 8am and it hadn't budged by 11pm. I have neutral skin with slightly yellow undertones and dark brown hair. It works really well with my complexion/colouring.

    Good for natural look

    I really liked this eyeshadow for a natural and subtle look! The pigment isn’t as concentrated as some other brands I’ve tried but that is okay because it easily achieves a natural look for more daily use! I would definitely buy again!!

    Too powdery

    Color: Dusky Woods.
    Application method: Oval makeup brushes.

    I really love that this makeup is all natural with no-testing on animals, unfortunately, it just wasn't right for me. A big part of that was how powdery it became and that it was so messy. After applying it, I realised there was a massive immovable line below my lower eyelash line as though I'd taken a brush and applied it there. It seemed a lot of the powder dropped off or floated around, but the immediately adhered to my skin, so I actually had to do a ton of clean up with makeup remover before I could 'finish' my look. This could be related to the fact that it's made of bamboo, since this is my first 'natural' eye-shadow I can't really compare it to other ones out there, only synthetic eyeshadows.

    The colours are subtle, whether or not you'll love that depends on the person. I'm extremely pale and these give a very subtle shadow look that would work for daily wear. I tend to prefer fun, bright, more 'artsy' makeup, so this colour isn't built up enough or pigmented enough for my tastes, but if you like subtle, you might like this.

    I would not recommend it for older ladies, as I felt it settled in the creases a lot and didn't last all day. I think a young business person who wants a subtle day look would be better suited for this. The bronze colour is definitely my favourite, though still too subtle for me. It doesn't come with a brush/applicator, which is a bit surprising, so you must use your own.

    There were some things I liked about this, mainly the natural, animal-friendly aspect, but I also liked that it was extremely soft on the eyes and lovely and silky feeling with no irritation. The package design is also quite cute. For me, the cons far outweigh the pros, but since I can't compare to other natural make-up, I am unsure if this is a problem in general with makeup made from non-synthetic ingredients. I give Burts Bees props for branching out, but I, personally, wouldn't buy this again.
