One more try..

So I have again been gone for a while as I've been busy with school mostly but life in general. I have been in the mood to use my blog again and post some things. Especially, since I've still been taking pictures of every product I finished up in the past months or even years by now. Therefore, my blog is going to be lots of product reviews and maybe also other reviews, more travel related posts and also other topics such as maybe TV show obsessions and other random things I like and maybe you reading this blog might enjoy as well :)
All right, so I hope y'all are doing great and if you have any questions, comments or requests just leave them below this post!

Review: Burt's Bees Hand Salve

I have had this thing for quite a long time and it's just always been in my nail drawer and I therefore never really used it so I put it in my night stand and well, long story short, I used it up yesterday.
I once bought a travel set from http://feelunique.com (I think it was this one: http://row.feelunique.com/p/Burts-Bees-Essential-Burts-Bees-Kit ) where this hand salve was included, so there is no individual prize for the small one, however it is sold in the regular size on the site for around $15.
I used the salve for my cuticles before going to bed especially after just having done my nails but also other nights.
The salve pretty much has the consistency you would imagine a salve to have so it's kind of an oily version of vaseline (the only comparison I could think of). I loved how it felt on my cuticles and the scent is also very nice.
I do however feel that something like this that will moisturize your cuticles can also be found in multiple other products. For example, I have a shea butter lip balm thingy on my table (in order to use it up) which I also sometimes use for my cuticles. And of course I also have regular cuticle oil which also does the same thing.
Conclusion: 9/10 points because of effectiveness and scent, however definitely not a unique product that couldn't be replicated by many others.
