Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish Stick

I can't think of anything worse than getting an unattractive, gross, large pimple right around the holidays.

Oh wait, yes I can.

Getting that unattractive, gross, large pimple as a 30 year old woman.

(Aren't we supposed to have grown out of that stage by now?)

Of course, said pimple flared its ugly head when I'd already left the city for the holidays and had packed only the bare (3oz!) travel cosmetic essentials, thus I had no ammunition in my cosmetic clutch. Desperate for an end to the madness, I grabbed Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish Stick while out buying last minute stocking stuffers with the hopes that I'd get my own little superficial, facial Christmas miracle.

Sure enough, I did. The stick acts as a roll-on and each morning and night I'd re-apply around the dreaded pimple area. It stings a bit when first applied but within a day, the redness was gone and after another day all unflattering damage had been undone. Thank goodness for that. Now I just need to figure out who I'd like to meet under the mistletoe.
