EXPIRED Burt's Bees - the grab bags are back.

  • I got exactly the same as below, very happy. I don't ever pay full price for Burts Bees stuff, but I know the value of it, and I think I did very well. Would definitely do it again.
    I received my Burt's Bees bag today and this is what was it in (along with price of each item on B.Bees website):

    Therapeutic Bath Crystals £10.99

    Burt's Bees Basics £4.19
    Hand Salve £9.99
    Super Glossy Lip Shine £6.99
    Beeswax Lip Balm £3.69
    Sun Protecting SPF 8 Lip Balm £3.69
    Skin Smoothing Hand cream £14.99

    I also got the following which are sample/travel sizes and not for sale in these sizes, so not sure of their price:
    Exfoliating body-wash (88.7ml) .
    Lemon butter cuticle cream (8.5g)
    Radiance eye-cream (4g)
    Daily moisturising cream (2.8g)

    The total for the full sized products is : £54.53, so I figured they added a fiver worth of samples to bring the retail value to £60.

    I got this too, (minus the 'basics' I think, whatever that is). However my radiance wash leaked all over everything :mad:

    Edit: I see what the basics is, it's the pack with a lip salve and a cuticle cream in!

    That's a much better pack than I got. I have sent mine back today.

    What did you put as the reason. After seeing what the last few people have got I am going to send mine back too.
  • I just put down I thought it was poor value, nowhere near £60 worth as advertised. I had to pay postage which was about £3 I think.

  • How do you send the bits back? I thought it was no refunds. I too was dissapointed the selection wasn't as good value as last year.

    even more gutted when I saw what Burts Bees US grab bags contained: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151222822352939&set=o.51334529153&type=1&theater

    Seems much better value and I saw some comments of people saying they received 12 full sized products! :eek: Apparently they were only $15 as well!

    Gonna try to get my hands on one of those next time I go to the US :D
  • From what I gather the eye cream was very expensive so probably skewed the bag.

    I just returned it in the box it came in.
    The invoice stated I could return but had to pay the postage.
    I never saw anywhere it said no refunds, where was this?
