Do you like them? If, so..what do you recommend?
I do like them, a lot.
My favorites are:
the lip balm
tinted moisturizer – it comes in really pale and it's not too greasy. the
only drawback is it doesn't have sunscreen
Garden Tomato toner – most toners seem the same to me but this one smells
great.

I recommend that you stock up on your favorites –– Burt's Bees is for
sale:

and there's no telling what degree of bastardization the new owners
will inflict on it.

The lemon cuticle oil is very good.

My favorite is the cuticle cream. I love the cute little tin it comes in.

I like and use the lemon butter cuticle cream and the coconut/peppermint foot
cream. The foot cream is VERY greasy, though, and hard to rub in. Not creamy
at all, but rather like Vaseline. Best to use at night with socks after a good
session with the Diamoncel. –– Beckie

I like primarily the Complexion Mists. The Chamomile
Mist really is moisturizing for oily skin that needs it
once in a while without smearing lotion all over my face.
It also doubles wonderfully as a spray–on, leave–in
conditioner. I've also recently bought the Grapefruit Mist
and so far, like it a lot in this warmer weather. It's both
soothing and refreshing.
I also have the lemon cuticle cream that I used as a lipbalm
for several days before I looked closely at the name on the
cover of the tin. kayper

I hadn't heard of this brand before I discovered AF, and quickly bought some
of the favorites like the lip balm, cuticle cream, and Baby Bee lotion.
Although the products were nice, I didn't find them particularly special or
wonderful. Have not rebought anything either.

I agree. The only thing I even marginally like is the cuticle
cream and even then, the lemonade smell is sometimes too much for me.
The lip balm turned rancid on me within a month, the apricot oil always
smelled like it'd turned bad to me, and none of the other products in
the "sampler" I bought did anything special.

I like several of their products. The lipbalm is one of my favorites, and it
has a nice tingly taste. The footcream is really nice too – it smells of mint
and coconut, and I really enjoyed that. It worked well for my dry feet. The
apricot oil is nice, and there's a newish moisturizer called Marshmallow
Vanishing Cream that I use at nights – perfect for my combo skin.

Has anyone used the pore refining mask? It's a kaolin clay–herb mix,
and you can add a variety of liquids, based on your skin type. I've
been curious about it.

I *love* the Garden Tomato complexion soap and toner. They are excellent for
oily skin.
I also like the Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme – it smells very nice.
I had good luck with the Res–Q Ointment on the sunrash I got on my arms at a
baseball game recently.
I have never tried the Lemon Cuticle ointment as lip balm, but will do so.
I love the scent of the Marshmallow Vanishing Creme.
I have some samples of things I have not yet tried – the Pore–Refining Mask,
the Royal Jelly Eye Creme and the Blemish Stick.
I am not impressed with the Lettuce Toner – it might be better for dry skin.

You left out the most important information! How well did it work?
Well, honestly, better than it does as a cuticle cream! It's
actually a very nice, soft balm without being squishy like
straight vaseline. I use Burt's Bees Coconut Foot cream as
a cuticle cream, instead. After all, it's already on my
hands! kayper

I use a lot of Burt's Bees products regularly, but honestly, I'm largely
attracted to this line because things smell good. I'm not sure I could say
anything in the line (with one exception) works any better than anything
else out there, but they smell terrific. The exception is the Lemongrass
insect repellent, which is, well, exceptional. Works as well as DEET
products for me (although doesn't last as long), smells nice and is safe for
kids. It's a lifesaver out here in the marshes.
My other favorites are the Chamomile complexion spray (calms down my
hyper–sensitive skin), the lemon/vitamin E bath oil (my favorite bath
additive), the coconut foot cream (it's greasy, it doesn't work as well as
Carmol and it goes bad quickly, but man, does it smell good!), and the Green
Goddess mask (messy, but works well for my sensitive combination skin). I
love the lip balm too, but not as a lip balm. It works much better as a zit
zapper (thanks to someone on alt–fashion for that tip). The lemon cuticle
cream smells nice, but doesn't do anything else for me. The marshmallow
cream seems to work well. It feels thick and slow to absorb, but it is
extremely gentle and doesn't seem to cause breakouts of either the allergic
or oily variety. I'm not sure I'd use it during the day, but it works well
as a night cream.

I love this stuff too. Sadly I can't use it while pregnant (due to EO's in it)
but can't wait to start again. Nothing compares *besides* Bag Balm and that
stuff stains.

Hm, I wonder if that was in one of the sample sets I got? It might have been.
But if so, it wasn't memorable. It does sound pretty cool! I am too lazy to
remember to mask on a regular basis, so most of mine just collect dust.

Res–Q Ointment
Citrus Scrub
Herbal Insect Repellant
If you want a natural brand, I think Kiss My Face is better.
