Burt's Bees Lemon & Vitamin E Bath and Body Oil — 

Just this past year, I found myself on a Burt's Bees kick and because I have to moisturize my skin daily, I thought I'd shake up things a bit and try a couple of their body-related products.  This was the first on my list - Burt's Bees Vitamin E Body & Bath Oil with Sweet Almond Oil & Lemon Oil.

Why?  I was initially attracted to it because of its aromatherapy properties.  Plus, I'm a sucker for oils which act as replacements for creams and lotions.

And?  Well, I like it

  • I think the smell is incredible.  I'm a big fan of almond and lemon and the two of them together are a great combination.
  • The scent remains with me for hours - but it's not obnoxious or offensive.
  • Lemon oils lift up my spirits, so it's difficult to be cranky with this stuff on.
  • It absorbs into my skin well - best if I use right after a shower....before I'm completely towel dried. 
  • It doesn't stain or leave greasy residue on my clothing.  A definite bonus!

So why isn't it five stars?  Just because there's one, teensy, tiny irritating thing about it.  It comes in a glass bottle with a black, screw-top lid.  It's difficult to manuever this - I would much rather they change the lid to be some sort of dispenser and/or throw in a pump to use so that you wouldn't have to juggle glass in the shower.

Good review, seems dumb to distribute in a glass bottle though!

i love the glass bottle - it makes me feel pampered. this is probably because i used to use weleda and their oils all come in glass. sigh

I LOVE this stuff. I wish it came in a plastic bottle but otherwise, bring on the lemon!

Great review. I use the oil on my kids. I like it a lot but I agree about the screw top and the glass. Annoying... especially with little ones!
