Review: Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser

Hey Sweeties,

You’ll remember I purchased this cleanser as part of my Feel Unique.com haul a couple of weeks ago. I am a big fan of my Burt’s Bees replenishing lip balm (with pomegranate oil) that I use daily and so I have been keen to explore more of the Burt’s Bees range so I took the opportunity while browsing online for new -affordable- cleansers to try out. So let’s get stuck in!

Burt's Bees Cream Cleanser

Firstly, the product comes in simple tube packaging which is easy to store and ideal to distribute the product onto my fingers ready for application. As it says in the title, this is a cream cleanser so it feels more like a moisturiser when you squeeze it out and massage it into your face before either rinsing or wiping off with a muslin cloth. On the packaging it says it’s with ‘clary sage’ which I have no idea what that is exactly but I can tell you that the product has a lovely orangey citrus smell to it which is quite divine if I am honest.

For me, I think this cleanser is ideal to use in the mornings. Although it says it can remove make-up, I personally am not convinced this is advisable. I have tried doing so but it doesn’t even come close to The Body Shop’s Camomile Cleansing Butter which literally melts foundation off of your face and only something truly fantastic would ever replace it. However, the product’s claim to leaving skin feeling ‘soft, supple and hydrated’ yes, yes it does indeed.

Overal I will very likely repurchase this product and for £8.95 I think it is definitely worth it as you get a lot of product which will last a long time.

Another Sweetie thumbs up!

My First Feelunique.com Haul -Burts Bees, COLAB, Yes To & Rimmel

Feelunique.com haul

Hey Sweeties,

Last week while having a particularly stressful afternoon I found myself browsing Feelunique.com and before I knew it, I had a small haul in my online basket! This is the first time I have purchased from the site and I was definitely on more of a skincare search than I was make-up… for that I always prefer to buy in store. But with beauty, although a girl can never have enough… the products I am seeking at the moment are a little more high end and therefore I am reserving for my Christmas list and January when I do my next big blowout. For skincare, I feel I am really lacking in both knowledge and products, particularly as we’re heading into the colder months of the year -now is the time to ensure my face and body are well prepared and taken care of, so this is the focus of my shopping (haulin’) and my reading at the moment!

I am an avid watcher of YouTube and subscribe to many of the popular beauty channels such as; Vivianna Does Makeup, Lily Pebbles, In the Frow, Zoella, Tanya Burr etc. etc. and when I see them use various cleansers and things I scribble down the names only to find that when I research them, they cost about £40+ -basically way over my price range! I have no doubt those products are the best on the market but right now, they are just not an option for me to purchase. So, like many of my hauls and beauty purchases I have made so far this year, I am finding a lot of the products myself pretty much from scratch, which is no bad thing but sometimes you do miss that big sisterly advice and a gentle shove in the right direction.

FYI I will do a review of each of the products individually as well as a broader post on cleansers and skincare once I have had a good chance to try them out but for now, here is a closer look at what I purchased:
