Burt's Bees Workshop rocks my world!!

(1st Burt's Bees outlet in Malaysia @ Curve, next to Borders)

I've attended the Burt's Bees Workshop in Royale Bintang Hotel at Curve on 24/4/10. I must say the workshop is one of the best one I have been. I have learnt all about Burt's Bees products and company. Burt's bees offers earth-friendly natural skincare, beauty and personal care products.

10 things you must know about Burt's Bees:

1. No synthetic ingredients/ artificial coloring
   
2. no harmful ingredients or elements
3. promote healthy skin
4. detoxify and excrete
5. nutritional and anti oxidants
6. 95% active ingredients
   
7. never tested on animals
8. focus on cottage industries
9. environmental friendly
10. every product has a "natural bar" which tells you the percentage of natural ingredients in it, with Detailed ingredient descriptions.

The company also title themselves as "The Greater Good":

• believes in natural ingredients
• protect environmental/nature
• committed socially responsibility - what they took from nature, they give back.

Very impressive after hearing the Burt's Bees practices that. I am definitely support them on this. I think is pretty brilliant to come out with a lip balm which is 100% natural, and their baby care range is safe and edible!

After the briefing, we had Yogataal session by the pool, sponsored by CandiSoo Fitness. I thought the yoga gonna be short, turns out is an hour session. It was a power yoga, sweat alot, but feels good after that especially the relaxing part. After the yoga session, each of us receive a RM190 cash voucher redemption from CandiSoo fitness.

Next, we headed back to the conference room, change to our normal clothes instead of fitness attire. Had a refreshing honey lemon drink, and some finger food. The workshop continues to teach us on using DIY homemade ingredient to create face mask. Main ingredients are eggs, honey, and rosemary essential oil. Stir them till nicely blend, apply on face for 1o mins, rinse off. I felt my skin is tighter (not to be mistaken as the dryness tight), smooth and whole complexion brightens.

Recipe for DIY face mask:
dry skin: egg yolk and honey
oily skin: egg white and honey
normal/combo skin: whole egg and honey
(all could add a small drop of rosemary essential oil).

Next, Bobbi Brown training manager Carina, showed us Pretty Powerful video presentation. It's their latest campaign, a contest to seek out 15 different gals, regardless of age, sizes and skin color who express how they wan to be look pretty n beautiful in a simple way. I love the make over, not too overly make-up, but focus on enhancing the features to achieve a finished look.

Makeover demo frm Bobbi Brown, simple make over yet looks good.

There's lucky draw session, Adriene won this pretty Bobbi Brown make up set. It's so gorgeous!
I wished to get that, but I do won something from the lucky draw- RM190 worth of 10 session group fitness programme frm CandiSoo Fitness!!

Lastly, Burt's Bees fed us buffet lunch at the hotel lobby!! I didn't expect that to happen, coz we only pay RM30, and we took home the goodie bag worth of RM200 of products!!! My heart leaps!! This is the best ever workshop i have attended. Thanks Burt's Bees for pampering us from head to toe and also not forgetting our stomach too! :))
