Manuka honey, amiright? There's seemingly nothing this bad lad can't achieve - I once had a literal chunk of it strapped to an operation wound [that got a bit infected & massively grim] which totes saved the day ... it turns out that this bee-fuelled-bae is pretty darn popular in the medical profession - as well as a staple in modern day skincare regimes across the globe! It literally made my gaping open surgery wound - that looked like Halloween on steroids, heal up quicker than I'd seen it do in weeks. And for that, I'll forever be grateful & loyal to it. If it's good enough for the NHS, it's good enough for me; queens.
These lovely Manuka Doctor products, which I've been lucky enough to try out recently, totes live up to the healthy HYPE surrounding this miracle honey. With their beautiful packaging & the brand's range of useful skincare solutions, I've been impressed with what I've seen so far. As has Kourt Kardashian; who's their global ambassador [and probably my fave Kardashian, due to her straight-talking sass & scathing burnssssss.]
The brand produce naturally inspired, scientifically enhanced skin care formulations; each of which [be this their Manuka Honey or Bee Venom products] are refined, concentrated and 100% bee friendly. You can grab their products at Superdrug, Feel Unique and LookFantastic... so next time you go on the prowl for a new palette [or 12], make sure to scroll through their offerings and feed yo face with goodness, honey.
Here's a quick rundown of the goodies I've tried from the collection so far. And, naturally, approximately 3420 photos of them all because they're Instagrammable AF; let's face it.
I LOVE how luxurious this stuff is; I keep it in my handbag at all times and try and apply it [as often as I remember to] when I'm at work. My skin is a bit of a mystery / sick joke - my face is oily & shiny AF, whereas my hands can get a bit dry & crusty looking [sexy or wot] ... so remembering to keep them hydrated & well cared for is important in the constant battle to look less like a tramp's arse and more like a well-rounded member of society.
As indicated by its name, this lux oil has a beautiful shimmery, golden sparkle through it; which settles on the skin & leaves it illuminated and fit. It's not a slippery, greasy formula at all; so I can easily rub a few drops through my hands at work and not end up being unable to hold pens or slip off my keyboard, like other thick formula hand treatments can cause. None of that greasy life, baes. Just golden, honey infused goodness. I wanna coat my whole body in it, to be honest.
This moisturiser has a lovely consistency. It feels thick and luxurious, but it's actually pretty fluid & lightweight and leaves no greasy remnants on ya face whatsoever. It seems to plumpen, add suppleness and rejuvenate my grey, knackered skin when used as part of my skincare regime; and I'm all about that. Plus, the bottle is HUGE and will last me for pure time.
Another fave right here; this lip enhancer properly softens & subtly plumps up ma pout, without that intense pain some enhancers treat you to [aka feeling like a thousand tiny fires are burning all up in ya grill.] You will feel a tingling sensation as it plumps, but it's much MUCH more bearable & lowkey than others on the market I've tried [like the Know Cosmetics one I reviewed recently or Soap & Glory's Sexy MotherPucker - holy shit, someone grab the Aloe Vera cos that sh*t BURRRRNS!!]
I prefer this plumper over most of the others I've tried due to the fact it isn't pure sticky & tacky [cough*Soap&Glory*cough.] Knowing it's fuelled by the goodness of fluffy bees and their honey & venom [rather than 1000 chemically processed ingredients and fire] encourages me to reach for it more than others, too.
I've really enjoyed discovering this brand - their products have effortlessly found their way into my daily beauty routines, thanks to their clinically proven formulas & how effective they are. Their range is HUGE and there's loads more to explore, so make sure you check out their site for more deets. After all, if it's good enough for the Kardashians, it's more than good enough for me!
