The new amenity kits do not have Burt's Bees 
It is a great loss. The new gooey Dermalogica product is horrible.

+1, I agree with this. I loved Burt and his Bees. They were always so nice and kind to my high-altitude-chapped lips.
I usually take them with me in my pocket on the outbound, but on the return home, I use them then leave them on the plane.
LH has a very stylish amenity kit recently, and I saved that one to give as a gift. AA's... that's not really that great of a gift, ha!

My wife just encouraged me to go on another international trip so I can bring her back the new Dermalogica amenity kit.

The amendity bags and the contents (I will miss the Burt's Bees) are great substitutes for a kippie bag.

+1 for donating the unused items to a local homeless or women's shelter. The one in Miami has been very happy to take them. All except the Berts Bees cream, which I keep for myself. I saw one of my coworkers using a bottle the other day and actually refered to it as "the first class cream". Gonna miss it

I carry the stuff around all the time. It's a recommended product by Cosmo as one of the best limp balm's to use.

I like Burt. I also like Murad from Delta. Their lip tube is so much smaller, and last forever. The worst lip 'cream' so far is Aesop from CX F. I know, couldn't believe it either.

This is so funny. I stay at a Westin about once a week so have tons of Bliss products. My personal favorite is the Aloft toiletries.

I have two amenity kits from DL at home yet I have never flown international F or whatever class they give these out in. I work with a number of DL employees sometimes and two of them (one flight attendant, one pilot) figured I would appreciate an amenity kit and gave it to me as a nice gesture on their behalf. Clearly the crew was not storing them. To be honest, they've been collecting dust but I finally went through them and gave the lip balm to my brother one day.

I've only seen Bliss at the W. Every Westin I've been to (domestic & intenational) have had the Westin white tea products (which I do like).
