Burt's bees -- intense hydration day lotion with clary sage.

I recieved this lovely little glass pot of moisture in this months birchbox. I have been looking for a good moisturizer for quite a while (currently using Cliniques dramatically different) but still haven't found my holy grail. 
This moisturizer was a surprise in many ways. The consistency feels and looks very thin, and a little goes a long way. I've been using this twice daily for about 5 days and haven't made much of a debt in this sample size. 
The smell is another odd thing. The smell did not please me at first, and seems like of like a herbal and citrus blend. Luckily it doesn't linger on the skin and actually wasn't unpleasant at all after a few applications. 
Like I said, a little goes a long way. My face feels moisturized all day after using this, with a little tightness remaining on my dryest area (my forehead). Right away it feels a little greasy but I have found that  that feeling goes away once the product has a few minutes to soak in. It is not heavy feeling at all.
Overall, depending on the price after I use the $3 off coupon, I will likely purchase this moisturizer. As the title suggests I will likely use as a day cream, and find a more intense moisturizer for night time.
