Now everyone needs to know about the Burt’s and the Bees! Burt’s Bees that is!  I was originally going to do a post on the very best cosmetic products focussing on the benefits of having anti-oxidant pomegranates in the ingredients list . Then, a little parcel arrived from Burt’s Bees, which made me want to shout about the full range of their pommy goodness!

Truth be told, I’ve been aware of Burt’s Bees products for a long time but I’ve never properly paid the brand the attention that it is due. I was sent 4 products containing an element of pomegranate: the Naturally Ageless Skin Firming Night Creme, Naturally Ageless Intensive Repairing Serum, Pomegranate & Soy Shampoo and Pomegranate & Soy conditioner. I was surprised to learn that more than half of Burt’s Bees products are 100 per cent natural, with the entire product portfolio averaging 99 per cent natural. And that’s just for starters…

So here is a run down of products one by one:

Naturally Ageless Intensive Repairing Serum, rrp: $44.95

A luxurious oil formula which helps target the lines around your eyes, mouth and forehead- probaby better suited to older skin types, but I would definately recommend it to anyone wanting to inject some moisture into their visage!  It slides on to the skin perfectly and has a gorgeous scent courtesy of the 100% natural ingredients (pomegranate, evening primrose, bulgrarian rose to list a few!). Dab a pea-sized amount around the areas in need of revival.

Naturally Ageless Skin Firming Night Creme, rrp:$49.95

The Skin Firming Night Creme offers a lush, sweet-smelling formula, containing antioxidant-rich pomegranate and white birch bark that helps to stimulate collagen production. The cream is very rich so I suggest using a small amount and then working around your face and neck. A wonder-worker while you sleep.

Soy & Pomegranate Shampoo, rrp: $19.95

Soy & Pomegranate Conditioner, rrp: $19.95

The Soy and Pomegranate shampoo and conditioner are a really great combo for leaving your hair in fantastic condition. I haven’t swapped my shampoo and conditioner in a while so it was a nice surprise to use product  that I felt made a noticeable difference to the shine and volume of my hair. I did also get a nice comment on how good my hair smelt…a mixture of coconut oils, pomegranate and honey: yum.
