Bee Mine Valentine

Who's your honey?

Whatever you're putting next to your lips this Valentines, you want it to be good enough to eat.

Here's some all-natural ideas for Valentines from cult skincare brand Burt's Bees. Sweet as. 

For the man in your life...

Men's Travel Kit ($49.95)

Burt’s Bees products are about to create quite a buzz having recently landed in NZ. I’ve sampled the product in the men’s travel kit which consists of lip balm, shaving crème, aftershave crème, a soap bar, body wash, and cologne. Packed for airport inspection, I look forward to using this more extensively when traveling o/s next week.

Burt’s surely made it to mass production since his backyard start in 1984. That’s not such an unusual story. What is, is that the obvious retaining of high quality product and manufacturing care. Plain and simple, the stuff smells and feels authentic. Reading the ingredients list confirms it. When I get back from my trip I’ll be looking for more.

For a natural smooch that shimmers...
 
Lip Shimmer ($19.95)

One of the side effects of being a mummy that loves lipstick, is that you often are required to apply a dash of colour to more than just your own puckered-up lips. This small fact of life is starting to revolutionize the way I choose my make-up, so when Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer turned up in my hand, two pairs of lips rejoiced. Entirely completely deliciously 100% natural ingredients come together to make a petite-sized lip colour with a powerful punch. It smells amazing, goes on easily, and you can choose from many different shades for the perfect hint of colour. Enriched with goodies like sunflower seed oil, beeswax, cocoa seed butter and rosemary leaf extract, the natural sparkle is produced by a mineral that goes by the sweet and simple name of mica. This little kiss-maker is lovely on its own, or adds smoothness and shine underneath your favourite lipstick.

For delicious lips...

Super Shiny Lip gloss ($29.95) 

Prep for your Valentine’s Day pash with this all-natural gorgeous lip gloss. Nourishing grapeseed, coconut and vitamin E oils not only give lips a kissable shine, they also taste delicious – perfect for puckering up! Available in four shades: Nectar Nude, Pucker Berry, Sweet Pink and Zesty Red, matching your pout with your outfit has never looked hotter.

For a beautiful body...

Radiance Body Cream with Royal Jelly ($39.95) 

Dazzle your Valentine with beautiful radiant skin with one of Burt’s Bees most-loved products. Royal jelly is the star ingredient and one of nature’s most nourishing substances, packed with 134 nutrients. Teamed with sunflower oil and the natural light reflecting mineral mica, this lotion leaves skin feeling moisturised, shimmering and younger looking. For best results, apply lotion daily to slightly damp skin to help lock in moisture.

So make your special smooch this Valentine's Day a perfectly natural one with the lovely Burt's Bees products. Mwah mwah.
