I will definitely go out and buy some new products today!! Thanks for the list (:

Great list! Thank you!

How awesome!

I hate winter D: my face gets all dry and flaky. *shakes fist* I think I'll invest in some Burt's bees products lol

Is the Coalface Cleanser by LUSH effective?

I was recently in California and my entire face got so dry it was painful. Not only that, it was embarrassing, everywhere I went my friends came up to me and said 'what happened to your face?' cause I was peeling all around my mouth and chin. But someone gave me Burt's Bees really intense stuff, it was in a jar and using just a little bit was soooo oily. But boy, did it ever work overnight! It was going to be either that or cold sore cream!

Very nice selection.I have always been a big fan of Burts.
