Spotted: Burt's Bees Holiday 2015 Limited Edition Mint Cocoa Lip Balm

Well what do we have here? A new holiday lip balm from Burt's Bees already landing in stores? This makes me wonder if Burt's Bees is going to bring back their limited edition Pumpkin Spice lip balm again this year? And will ChapStick bring back their Pumpkin Pie lip balm again this year? (You can see my review/comparison of those two lip balms from last year HERE.) Have any of you seen either of those balms in stores lately? 

But back to this new holiday balm! Many thanks to my pal @tinybubblesfloating on Instagram for this sighting. She found this display at her local Rite Aid this week and kindly shared this pic:

Burt's Bees Holiday 2015 Limited Edition Mint Cocoa Lip Balm display at Rite Aid  

@tinybubblesfloating mentioned that she wasn't wowed by this one, since she said it had sort of a fake chocolate scent to it. If you caught my review of the Burt's Bees Pumpkin Spice lip balm from last year (see link above), then you know that I much prefered ChapStick's Pumpkin Pie balm, on every level. So I guess I'm not going to get my hopes up about this Mint Cocoa one, but I will certainly purchase and review when I find it. Because you know me and LE lip balms. I have a sickness and the only cure is more cowbell lip balm! (If you're too young to know that reference, you owe it to yourself to search "SNL More Cowbell Skit" on YouTube. I've seen it a million times and it still kills me.)

Thanks again, @tinybubblesfloating, for the great sighting and pic! 

The Burt's Bees Summer 2015 Grab Bag Is Here

I've been covering the Burt's Bees Summer and Holiday Grab Bags for years now here on the blog, and we've seen some nice one and some "meh" ones over the years. I"ll leave it up to you to decide if this one's worthy of a purchase:

The Burt's Bees Summer Medley Tin retails for $20 on the Burt's Bees website. The lip products and the After Sun Soother are full-size, while the cleansing cream, towelettes, and ointment are travel-size. You also get a collector's tin, bath pouf, and coin purse. Shipping is $6 unless you order $49+, in which case it's free. 

So let's hear it...what do you think of the Summer 2015 grab bag? Is it worthy of your purchase this time around? I do find it interesting that they're calling this a Grab Bag (well that's what it said in the subject line of the email), because usually the grab bags are "mystery bags" where you don't know what you'll get. Do you prefer to know in advance or do you like the surprise?

The Korean Skincare Essence Trend Has Hit US Drugstores

Spotted: NEW Burt's Bees Cleansing Oil with Coconut & Argan Oils

Wait, what? Burt's Bees has a new cleansing oil?? I haven't even found the new Simple Cleansing Oil yet!

Purchased by Me 

Did you know that there's a new Burt's Bees home fragrance line of candles and wax melts? I sure didn't, until I spotted it at a local Walmart last week. If this is news to you, I have pics of the entire collection, plus a review of one of the new Soy Wax Melts for you today.

NEW Burt's Bees $10 Moisturization Sampler (for Face, Lips and Body)

Here's a fun little deal that just hit my in-box for all of you Burt's Bees fans:

Right now and while supplies last, you can get this little Moisturization Sampler for face, lips and body for $10 (free shipping on the Burt's Bees site on orders $25+). This set includes a cute tin (you can see what the front of the tin looks like HERE) plus the following products...

Save Big on Burt's Bees (and Get a FREE Lip Crayon)

Here's a nice little three-part deal for my fellow Burt's Bees fans:

Now through February 15, when you spend $30 or more on the Burt's Bee site, you will receive a FREE, full-size Lip Crayon in the shade Niagara Overlook ($8.99 value). This item will automatically be added to your cart when you hit $30.

But you know I have more for you when it comes to this deal...

You receive everyday free shipping on orders $25+ on the Burt's Bees site, so you'll obviously get free shipping when you qualify for the Lip Crayon since you have to spend $30 for the freebie. BUT, have you seen their sale page lately? Some of the Holiday 2014 sets are now 40% off and so is their Naturally Ageless skincare line (and some other products as well). So you can score some great deals, get free shipping AND get a free Lip Crayon all in one order. Oh, and don't forget that the new Squeezable Lip Balm and Vanilla Bean Lip Balm are both available now too.

If you'd like to see my previous review of two of the Burt's Bees Lip Crayons, you can click HERE. I did not review Niagara Overlook, but I've heard from many of you who have had better luck with that shade than the shades I reviewed. If you own Niagara Overlook, I'd love to hear from you!

NEW Burt's Bees Squeezable Lip Balm

Last week I showed you the new Spray Lotions and Renewal skincare line from Burt's Bees, but I didn't know they were launching another new product as well:

NEW Burt's Bees Squeezable Beeswax Lip Balm

(retail: $3.99, 0.35 oz)

If you prefer your lip balms in squeeze tubes, you may be excited to know that Burt's Bees has just released their original formula lip balm in a new squeezable form. According to their website, this is the original formula lip balm--not a new formula.  

This product is already available for purchase on the Burt's Bees site HERE. Have you spotted it out "in the wild" yet at your local retailers? Thoughts?

Spotted: NEW Products from Biore, Neutrogena, Garnier, Organix, Burt's Bees, Olay and More (PIC HEAVY)

Happy New Year, my lovelies! I thought I'd kick off 2015 with a big ol' new product sightings post for you today. In addition to all of the new 2015 makeup I've been covering for the past several weeks, new skincare, body care and haircare products are now starting to make their way into drugstores and big box stores, and I've got TONS to share with you thanks to some very lovely readers (I've also spotted some new things myself over the past week or so, which I'l be showing you in second).

I have so much to cram into this post that I want to apologize for not remembering all of the retailers and prices for these sightings--I received submissions from just about all of my social media channels and it was a little crazy trying to keep track of the details. But as we all know by now, all of these products should be showing up EVERYWHERE quite soon (if you haven't already seen them in your area) so just keep checking in with your usual retailers and be on the lookout.

First up, some new Biore Charcoal products:

Battle of the Pumpkin Lip Balms: Burt's Bees Pumpkin Spice vs. ChapStick Pumpkin Pie

Press Sample Purchased by Me 

Admit it. It's the question that's been keeping you up at night:

Which limited edition pumpkin-flavored lip balm is better--Burt's Bees or ChapStick?  

OK but seriously, since these are limited edition flavors and they're only available for the holidays, I thought it might be fun to give you a little side-by-side comparison and tell you which one is my personal favorite. Are you ready? Let's do this!

The Burt's Bees Holiday 2014 Grab Bag is Here

Fans of the Burt's Bees Grab Bags: the Holiday 2014 Grab Bag is here!

If you're new to the Burt's Bees Grab Bags, these are seasonal mystery bags that Burt's Bees makes available for both summer and winter (actually, the Summer 2014 Grab Bag containing nine products--eight full-size--is still available for $20 as of the time of this post HERE). The Holiday 2014 Grab Bag is now available for $25 HERE. You won't know exactly what you're going to get until it arrives but, as the copy above indicates, you're guaranteed to receive 11 products total, and seven of those products will be full-size. Keeping in mind that the holidays are almost upon us, this could be a nice little purchase for last minute stocking stuffers, teachers' gifts and more.

PS: Right now on the Burt's Bees site, they're running a promotion where all orders of $40 or more receive free Fed Ex ground shipping, no code required (I don't know when this promo ends, so don't wait too long!). Orders $24.99 and below ship for $5 and orders $25 - $30 ship for $6.
