Burt's Bees - Baby - Nourishing Lotion


This is a really nice, rich lotion with a lovely scent (like baby powder meets dark honey).
It is made of 98.9% natural ingredients and unlike so many of Burt's Bees other products, this doesn't have a problem with the formula separating.
It is non-irritating and I really like this lotion.

Price: 1/5 ($11.93 for 170mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Scent - Crabtree & Evelyn - Hand Therapy - Citron, Honey, & Coriander


This smells divine!

The citrus oil scent is the strongest note and it's wonderful.
The coriander complements it so well.
The honey is barely perceptible, and I like it that way.

It is so rich and nourishing, as many of the hand therapies are.

Trilogy - Rosapene Night Cream



This rich night cream from New Zealand has rosapene (rosehip oil and antioxidants), goji berry, and manuka honey.

It smells a little like wheat, but it isn't too strong.

It applies nicely, absorbs super fast, and feels very moisturising.

The brown, frosted glass jar is also nice and adds to an apothecary feel.

I would happily buy this again.

Price: 3/5 ($46,96 for 60mL, I got it on sale)
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Masquerade! - Andalou Naturals - Fruit Stem Cell Science - Pumpkin Honey - Glycolic Mask


Gylcolic acid is used to improve skin texture and appearance, and is quite good at penetrating the skin.

The scent was a pumpkin and honey scent and it made a nice pre-shower treatment.
However, the only way I found it brightening was in making my skin a little bright pink! Hahahaha!... I'll go home.

Masquerade! - Montagne Jeunesse - Manuka Honey Peel Off Mask 


This really feels like it improves the skin!

Kiwi Manuka - Manuka Honey Relief Snaps

I know, this isn't medical grade honey, but I'm use it as such anyway.

This is a great single dose system that is easy to use and travel with.

You are meant to use it for your throat? I guess?
I used it for skin irritations and cuts.

I personally prefer to use honey on cuts rather than antiseptic cream because the later can open me up to fungal infections.

Price: 1/5 ($25.00 for 250mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

The Body Shop - Lip Balm - Honeymania


I got this out of the Advent calendar from earlier this year.
It isn't something I would normally gravitate towards, but I am glad I have it because I LOVE IT!

It is your basic waxy barrier balm formula but also adds some moisture as well.
The honey flavour/scent is a genuine honey scent and isn't over powering.

This is great to put on before bed so you wake up with lovely, soft lips. <3

Price: 3/5 ($9.95 for 10mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Scent: The Body Shop - Honeymania Body Butter


This was nice and thick, and absorbed quickly.

It smells like a mixture of honey and beeswax. It isn't overly sweet like you may think it might be.

Masquerade! - Sephora - Honey Mask

I have been looking forward to trying these since Victoria Donelda showed them on Youtube. 
And while I still love Victoria, I don't really love this.

1) It is too big for my face and touches my hair.
2) It doesn't smell of honey.

It did have a good amount of serum though.

L'Occitane - Crème Divine - Immortelle Divine cream

I LOVE this cream! If I had sufficient funds, this would be my night cream, forever!

I love the smell (flowers, lemon, honey, spring, joy), the oils in it, the texture, how it soaks in.... I love this.

The only thing I don't love is the price :(
I will confess, I purchased a full size jar once as a gift to myself, but it will be a while before I can do that again.

What more can I say? I'm in love <3

Price: 0.5/5 (rrp $145 for 50mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 4.5/5

Healthy Care - Bee Venom Face Moisturiser

This was the face moisturiser I used as my night cream when I was traveling through California.

It smells like honey (yay!) and wheat (why!?!), but was pleasant enough.

As far as feeling any effect of the venom on my face, I got a little stiffness, but nothing major (no paralysis).
The stiffness I felt could be due to my skin plumping up with the added moisture (which is also most desirable).

I liked it, I don't know if I will buy it again though, as it didn't seem that effective.

"I want bits of my face to stop moving and wrinkling up" Solution:

Xeomin (botulinum  toxin), baby!

Price: 3.5/5 (rrp $21.99 for 30g)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 3/5
