Burt's Bees Haul!

Hello Everyone!
I have never tried Burt's Bee's products, and I've heard such good things. They are cruelty free, however they are not vegan so use the products to your discretion if that is important to you! They are mostly natural and all of their products let you know the percentage of natural ingredients. They had humble beginnings and I loved their story, which you can also read here.


I recently heard a lot of good things about their Outlet section on their website that shows their items of sale and "Grab bags". What these bags are is a bag that is said to be worth over $50 but you don't  know what you are getting. They have these available a couple of times a year, so I thought I would give them a try.

I ended up ordering the "Holiday Sampler Gift Bag" and the "Fall Grab Bag". Both are said to be worth at least $50, and they were being sold for $15. There are always tons of coupon codes available for Burt's Bees products, so before you place your order be sure to do a quick Google search to make sure you are saving as much money as you can! Also, all orders over $49 get free shipping.

Reading the reviews for both bags, the "Fall Grab Bag" seemed to be the definite favorite. A lot of people were complaining that they did not like the "Holiday Sampler Gift Bag", but considering it was $15 instead of the usual price, I figured I would take the risk and go for it. I love gambling on trying new things, and that is what my blog is about! Trying new things and deciding on what I think about them! So I said, "Screw it!" and ordered both!

I placed my order on February 20th!
I received my order on February 25th!
And this is what I ended up getting!
My order came in a box full of (as Grav3yardgirl would say) worms! Literally jam packed with worms!
These are what the bags actually look like. I'm not sure which one is meant to be the fall grab bag and which is the holiday.
This is the contents of one of them:
A Luffa
Milk&Honey Body Lotion for normal to dry skin ($10.00)
Honey& Shea Conditioning Body Bar ($5.00)
Mango& Orange Energizing Body Bar ($5.00)
Mango& Orange Body Butter ($13.00) 
Radiance eye cream with Royal Jelly ($18.00)
Hand Salve- Travel Size ($2.49)
a Radiance Lip Shimmer ($5.00)
In total this bag retails for $58.49!
This is the contents of the other one:
A Luffa
Mango& Orange Energizing Body Bar ($5.00)
Cranberry& Pomegranate Replenishing Body Bar ($5.00)
Anti-Blemish Solutions Spot Treatment with Willow Bark ($10.00)
Radiance Facial Cleanser- Travel Size ($1.99)
Radiance Toner with Royal Jelly ($10.00)
Radiance Lip Shimmer ($5.00)
Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil ($3.30)
Muscle Mend Sore Muscle Balm ($7.00)
In total this bag retails for $47.29

I haven't tried any of these products yet, but I have smelled them (how weird does that sound?) and they all smell delightful! The only thing I'm disappointed with is the travel size of the facial cleanser simply because it doesn't feel full, it feels less then half full, but considering that is the only real complaint that I have with my products! Once I try all of these products, I will do a separate blog post on what I think so stay tuned!

Thank you for reading and comment below and let me know if you've tried any of these products before and your thoughts on them!
Thank you again! xoxo- Dani
