Honeybee Gardens Pressed Powder Review



 Shade:  Supernatural
 Compact you can purchase.
Compact does come with mirror and puff. 

Today I want to review Honeybee Gardens Pressed Powder.  I wanted to get an all natural pressed powder foundation for when I want to touch up on the go.  Also, sometimes loose mineral powder can get messy.  I read some great reviews about Honeybee Gardens pressed powder, so I decided to order it from Vitacost.  The powder cost $7.39 and the compact was $7.39.  The shade I picked was supernatural.  I also ordered the compact to go along with it.

Here are my thoughts:

Pros:
  • The shade I picked was a perfect match.
  • It did go on very nicely. 
  • It looked very natural on the skin.
  • Smooth texture
  • All natural product
  • Affordable
Cons:
  • Sadly, this broke me out with tiny red bumps on my face. 

This was the only product that I had used differently on my skin.  The next day after using I noticed the red bumps.  I gave it another try after about a week and the same exact red bumps appeared the next day.

So for me this product did not work and I will not be repurchasing it.

Here are the ingredients from the Honeybee Gardens website:
Mica, Kaolin, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Magnesium Carbonate, Zinc Stearate, Boron Nitride, Squalane, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Potassium Sorbate, Chlorphenesin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499

Have a great day!

Burts Bees Lip Gloss Review

While I was at Rite Aid shopping I cam across a display of Burts Bees new Lip Gloss.
  I was really excited to try this natural lip gloss.



They looked so adorable and the colors were very pretty.  I picked up the shade Rosy Dawn.  It was the cutest shade of rosy pink.  I thought this color would look lovely alone or on top of many different lipsticks that I own. 


On to the review:

Cons:
  • The applicator only holds a little product on the wand.  You have to keep putting the wand back into the tube to get more product and after three times of getting product it went on very sheer. 
  • I really did not like the taste of this lip gloss.  I kept tasting it for awhile after application.
  • This lip gloss only lasted for maybe 10 minutes on my lips before it literally melted away into my lips.  All that was left was the horrible taste.
  • Not glossy at all.
Pro:
  • The only thing nice about this product was the color.  It was beautiful in the tube but came out very sheer on my lips.

I really like some of the Burts Bees products but this was a fail for me.
