I found this lotion to be watery and only so-so. The scent isn't that great compared to some other Burt's stuff. Whenever I get head to toe kits from them I'll use the travel size of this lotion but I don't like it enough for the full size bottle. It moisturizes all right but I don't like how it leaves my skin feeling. Like a layer of it is always floating on top and isn't completely soaked in. I do have friends who rave about it, but for me and for the price, I don't think it is worth buying.

Flannel is a nice soft way to scrub your face free of makeup or dry it, but I don't know if I'd spend more than $5 for some. If you are picky, go ahead and grab this washcloth but I find it just as effective to slice up some old flannel shirts or buy a yard or two of flannel from the fabric store instead of buying this.

I love using lemon essential oils in my bathroom. It leaves a clean fresh scent and isn't as over powering as traditional air fresheners. I like to leave an oil diffuser burning during parties and when I have people over. Good oil!

Personally I really like the lemony scent. It is a bit strong so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is sensitive to smells. It works like a citronella candle in that the scent should mask your natural scent so when you can't smell it anymore you should reapply. It isn't as effective as DEET repellents, but since its power comes from natural oils you don't have to worry about the safety of it either. I usually wear it mixed in with some sunscreen when I go hiking. When I'm going to hang out by a lake or something that is going to have lots of bugs I bust out something stronger. I also never use the spray cap which I think is useless.

The pluses of this stuff are that it smells amazing, a little goes a long way and it adds a lot of texture and some good hold to hair. The negatives are that it is easy to go overboard and end up with sticky, greasy hair, it is a bit pricey, the holding power isn't that great, and it doesn't leave your hair touchable. I prefer using it when I have super short hair, but lately when I get short hair cuts I haven't been reaching for Manipulator. I don't know, I love the scent, but I feel like for that price it should do more.

This is a great oil for relaxation or to put in an oil burner before bed. It is fresh and lovely. Other brands can be purchased for less, so minus one star. I also love putting a few drops of this on an old hanky or odd sock and throwing it in the dryer instead of a dryer sheet.

This a fabulous creamy lip balm! It isn't too soft but glides on smooth. It has a delicious scent like a pina colada and comes at a great price.

This is an okay body oil. It feels "dry" and penetrates pretty quickly and has a nice scent. It isn't especially moisturizing for an oil though and it is pretty pricey. Not the best product from Alba, I prefer their lotions and other brands for body oil.

I tried this shampoo bar on myself. I'm a fan of shampoo bars generally since I have short hair so it is easier for me to work the suds in than people with long hair. This one is not very good though. It doesn't rinse clean and doesn't feel like it has much if any cleaning power. For a baby with only a few wisps of hair this would be fine, perhaps slightly better than washing their head with bar soap, but if you have a kid with a full head of hair, find another shampoo. One of the few misses in the Burt's Bees Baby Bee line.

This is a pretty good moisturizer from Burt's. It isn't heavy duty, so it isn't great for very dry skin, but still it smoothes on and penetrates well. The best part of this lotion is the shimmer. It is from mica so it looks really natural and beautiful. Be careful though because a thick application can look strange. It you want only a hint of shimmer I'd recommend blending this a bit with some other lotion.
