Burt’s Bees Limited Edition Burt's Box Holiday 2019 Review
Here is the sheet listing everything that came in the box.
Micellar Cleansing Towelettes with Rose Water, 30 ct - Retail Value $5.99
If I get wrinkles when I’m older because of using makeup wipes, that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make. While I don’t use them often, sometimes a double cleanse of makeup wipes followed by micellar water is all I can manage when I get home late and want to collapse in bed, or just want to wipe off some sweat before I head home from the gym. These are made with repurposed cotton that was soft on my skin, and the key ingredient of rose water helped these wipes to be soothing rather than irritating.
Rose Micellar Toning Water, 8 oz - Retail Value $9.99
Based on comparing the ingredients list of the wipes above and this toning water, they’re actually the same formula- one is just a bottle and one is pre-saturated wipes. I like the formula- it’s alcohol-free and gentle on my skin, and it worked well both to remove any traces of makeup after a regular cleansing or using it on makeup-free days when I don’t want to do an involved skincare routine.
Renewing Biocellulose Gel Face Mask - Retail Value $3.99
Biocellulose is one of my favorite sheet mask materials- it’s basically a thin gel that is cooling on your skin while hugging the contours of your face. This had a great fit, and it didn’t drip down my neck the way some sheet masks can. This mask has vitamin E, rosewater, and algae extract, and it was a refreshing mask to use on a lazy Saturday watching football on the couch.

Almond & Milk Hand Cream, 2 oz - Retail Value $9.99
One of the things that struck out to me immediately is how much I love the packaging of this hand cream- it feels very farmhouse to me, in the best way. This is made with vitamin E, sweet almond oil, and beeswax, and it definitely is a rich cream that should make those with dry hands rejoice.

Sensitive Eye Cream, 0.5 oz - Retail Value $14.99
This eye cream had a very thin formula that my skin was able to absorb quickly. It is made with cotton extract and aloe, and it didn't irritate my eyes.

Vanilla Maple Lip Balm, 0.15 oz - Retail Value $3.59
This is the classic Burt's Bees lip balm made with beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter, only it has a fun holiday flavor with the hint vanilla maple. I enjoy it!
1 of 2
Vanilla Clove Lip Butter, 0.4 oz - Retail Value $4.39
Clove is just not an ingredient utilized enough- and it is a great pairing with vanilla for this thicker lip butter. This is made with responsibly-sourced shea and cocoa butter, and it left my lips soft.
1 of 2
Overnight Intensive Lip Treatment, 0.25 oz - Retail Value $8.99
I almost never remember to apply lip treatments before I go to bed, but I do use them at the beginning of my makeup routine to make sure my lips are always prepped for whatever lipstick I choose to wear that day. For an overnight lip treatment, I didn't find this to be overly thick, and while I enjoy using it I am not quite sure it lives up to the "intense" claim.

All Aflutter Volumizing Mascara in Classic Black, 0.32 oz - Retail Value $12.99
This is a solid mascara- it did add a boost of volume when I applied it. I like that this has jojoba oil in it to condition lashes, and it is safe for sensitive eyes.
1 of 2
Defining Retractable Eyeliner in Onyx, 0.005 oz - Retail Value $9.99
I very rarely reach for pencil eyeliners, and when I do its a fun color like purple or green. When it comes to black eyeliner, I am a liquid girl all of the way. You can see in my swatch below I was a little rusty applying this to my lash line, but it does glide with ease on my lid without tugging.
Here I am wearing the mascara and eyeliner! I actually passed these along to my mom, who loves pencil eyeliners and doesn't go for intensely volumized lashes the way I do.
Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser, 0.75 oz - Retail Value $1.99
This cream cleanser definitely delivers on the intense hydration claim thanks to clary sage and glycerin, and it was also gentle on my skin. I wouldn't reach for this to remove a full face of makeup, but I liked it as a second cleanse or when I wasn't wearing anything on my face that day.
1 of 2
Detoxifying Clay Mask, 0.57 oz – Retail Value $3.49
This mask is made with kaolin clay, charcoal powder, and acai oil to remove impurities from your skin. This wasn’t a super drying mask, which I think is important when it comes to clay-based masks (if you let clay masks dry out completely, that usually means the clay is sucking the moisture out of your skin). I wish that (natural) fragrance wasn’t so high up on the ingredients list, but on the whole, I think the ingredients list is decent.
The Verdict: I like Burt's Bees- they use a lot of good ingredients in their products, and I find most of their products to be gentle. My biggest complaint would be that multiple products have added fragrance on the ingredients list (which is just always unnecessary in my mind), but that alone wouldn't keep me from using the products. Value-wise, this kit has a total value of $90.38. Since the full list of items is published when you purchase this, I definitely think the value is there if you know you'll use the items.
