I like solid perfumes because they are easy to carry around so you can reapply throughout the day without lugging a big bottle around. I really like the Karma scent but there are some other great ones. The perfume is fairly long lasting, but I find that I like to reapply every few hours. For the price I find that this is comparable to many spray perfumes and I really like the variety of scents Lush has.

This is one of the few Burt's sets that comes with a decent size of everything. Usually you get itty bitty bottles and such. There is an all-in-one wash, not great but not bad either. The herbal insect repellant has a nice lemongrass scent that I love, but my mother finds it too strong. It is okay at repelling insects but if I'm around a lake or other mosquito breeding ground I find nothing is as effective as deet. The bug bite relief and res-q-ointment are nice to take on hikes and are really soothing. I find the hand salve moisturizing, but it is not one of my favorites either. I would buy this set for myself or for some of my hiking friends.

This is a great baby shower gift, but it is more geared to mom than baby. There is also a Burt's baby bee kit so buying them together I think is perfect so that baby gets something and so does momma. This comes with an eye mask, Burt's lip balm which is one of my fave balms, a packet of milk bath which is nice but maybe not amazing, baby bee washes (pretty much the only baby thing in my mind in the packet), Baby Bee body lotion which I find a bit watery, a leg cream and Burt's radiance lotion which is really pretty. I'd also recommend this for a mother's day present because with everything in it you could do a mini spa day at home.

I have olive skin and tried this tanner to blend away some tan lines more than to give myself a tan. It wasn't as smelly as some tanners I tried and I didn't have any problems with streaking (although I was very careful with application). I built up 3 layers over the space of a week and was pleased with the results. Definitely a product to try if you want a natural tanner.

This wash has a fruity scent and microbeads for exfoliation. The texture is a bit gritty like sand and it is mildly foaming. I find that it is gentle enough for everyday use, but the beads are a bit rough on an actual break out. This is a better wash for maintaining clear skin and buffing away rough, dull skin. There is another wash from this brand that is nice for actual break outs so having a bottle of each is probably a good idea. This is a good, inexpensive wash to keep skin clear.

This is a great set for any friends who are interested in natural beauty products. It includes Burt's lip balm which is an awesome lip balm and several lotions and creams from Burt's. The lotions are a bit thin and watery but are great for a purse or desk and the hand creams are a bit thick so I only use them at night. The cuticle cream rocks. I personally also like the facial cleanser. This is a great way to try out several Burt's items without committing to the full-size products.

This is a great gift set for a mani/pedi addict. The products included range from fine to great. It comes with a pumice stone or a pair of socks which aren't really special, the coconut foot cream is amazing as well as a tube of lip balm which Burt's does well generally. The lemon cuticle cream is also nice with an awesome scent. The hand creams are really moisturizing but can be a bit heavy so should be worn at night. Overall this is a good set for learning about the Burt's lines, but if you are a regular user of Burt's you may want to buy the full size articles.

This is a fairly long lasting scent. My review is based on length of wear and value since fragrances work differently with different body chemestries. I found that the scent lasted awhile on my guy but I say it is about average for eau de toilettes for men. The scent is supposed to be "woodsy" but I found it to be surprisingly powdery.

This is a good makeup remover. It isn't the most gentle and effective that I've used but I really like using it. The gel is nice and cooling and it doesn't have anything really negative about it. The only thing for me really is the price. It is a bit expensive for me considering that I can get removers that work just as well for half the price. Still, if you have sensitive eyes this is definitely one to try!
