A number of years ago, I was in love with the Burt's Bees Radiance day lotion. It smelled amazing, loved the way it made my skin look and feel, was the perfect amount of moisture (I have pretty normal skin) and I liked that fact it was 90 something percent natural. It was perfect. And then...........it was gone. I couldn't find it! I went everywhere, Target, Walmart, Walgreens, but nothing. It was no where to be found.
Fast forward to about a month ago. I was looking the "natural" section at Target (you know, the half of an aisle with Yes to Carrots and Burt's Bees and such) and something caught my eye. No. Freakin'. Way.
It was my lotion! I didn't recognize it at first, because the box it came in was different, but it was my long lost lotion. I was giddy that I found it again! :)
......or so I thought.
From day one, I could tell something was.....different. A bad different. It felt sticky after I put it on (it kind of did before, but went away after a second, now it stays for a couple of minutes), doesn't give me the same effect it did before, wasn't as moisturizing, and, I guess, just didn't wow me. The only thing I could find that was the same was the scent. Maybe I thought it was better than it was because I couldn't find it? Who knows. But I do know it's not what I was looking for, and that makes me a bit sad. However, after paying almost $20 for that sucker, I'll be using it up for sure. Luckily, I guess in this case, it's a smaller bottle, and I'm a third of the way done already, so it shouldn't be too much longer.
Also, how weird is it that it has SPF 7? I mean, 7?? What the heck am I going to do with that??
Oh well. Maybe the next one will be a keeper :)
Thanks!
