Burt's Bees Nourishing Mascara, $13
The Logistics: This 100 percent natural mascara is created to nourish, lengthen and define lashes with a formula of jojoba oil and naturally moisturizing glycerin.

My Review: If you're looking for easy application with precise separation and lengthening power, then you'll love this mascara. We were interested in seeing whether or not the product went on oily since it touts itself on being moisturizing, and while at first it appears really wet, once you give it a few seconds to dry, you'll fall in love with your accentuated, natural-looking lash look.

Burt's Bees Nourishing Eyeliner Pencil, $10
The Logistics: This fade- and smudge-proof eyeliner is 99.9 percent natural and is specifically formulated to beautifully define your delicate eye area.

My Review: To be honest, in a world full of amazing liquid liners, it's rare that I find a pencil that satisfies my beauty needs. That being said, I admittedly went into trying all shades of this eyeliner -- Soft Black, Midnight Gray and Warm Brown -- with fairly low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised when the seemingly hard eyeliner pencils delivered soft, coal-like lines. I was especially fond of the Midnight Gray for its untraditional bluish-black gray hue. Even if you're a liquid liner die-hard, these soft pencils would still work perfectly to accentuate below your eye.

Burt's Bees Eyebrow Pencil, $10
The Logistics: This brow pencil is made to fill, define and shape brows to bring out your best self naturally. Made with jojoba oil and shea butter, the 99.9 percent natural formula is nourishing and long-lasting.

My Review: A+. Seriously, these pencils work beautifully to shape and define brows. Despite going on smoothly, once applied, you don't have to worry about that easy-to-apply formula smudging out of place. My only complaint, as with most brow products, is that they've somehow left out redheads, sticking to the basics of Blonde and Brunette pencils. While many redheads can get away with blending a series of pencils, it'd definitely be cool if there were a one-stop product to get the job done. Burt's Bees, maybe in the future? Pretty please?

Burt's Bees Glossy Lipstick, $9
The Logistics: This 100 percent natural, moisturizing lipstick will create lustrous, glossy color with the help of red raspberry oil, moringa oil and mimosa flower wax to deliver long-lasting hydration that keeps lips smooth and soft.

My Review: When you look at these lipstick tubes you'll expect a rich pigment that requires precise application. Instead, what you get is a soft, natural-looking tinted glossy look that fits perfectly with your everyday look. While you may want to wear something a bit more opaque for your evening look, I'm absolutely swooning over this easy-to-wear formula for everything from desk to drinks. And with six shades to choose from, there's something for everyone.

Overall Thoughts on the Collection: We dreamt of a line of natural beauty products and Burt's Bees delivered. After testing every product and shade in their new makeup collection, we believe that there's something for everyone in this latest drugstore launch. As a whole, we love the pigment, hydration and natural complexion-boosting benefits of these products.
