Manuka Honey


Honey is completely awesome! Why, you ask? Well apart from being a sweet tooth's dream as it's good for you and is virtually kilojoule free-it's healing properties make it also very sweet to your skin! When I was younger, my chubby cheeks and I took a trip with the family to the scenic New Zealand. My only wish was to be able to experience their famous hot springs but after my parents horror stories of burning flesh and my own quick flashback to a scene in the movie, 'Dante's Peak', I settled for this wonderful body butter from the gift shop on our way out (after my tantrum of course!) It is so very rich and with added Shea butter, it will certainly soften every inch of your body. The best bit is that it has the most divine subtle smell. I remember one of my friends asked where that beautiful smell was coming from and I just had to blurt out it was me! Now I'm not armed with endless wealth to return to New Zealand just yet but luckily, this butter is available online!

Paw Paw Ointment

If your a celebrity fanatic or just love your mags: you must have heard of this wonder product. Paw Paw Ointment! This sexy tube is in vibrant shade of red, and is an accessory in it's own right-but there's more...

I've flicked through a few magazines in my time, and this has definetely been listed as a must-have in every beauty bag. So what's so great about it? Well firstly the 25g tube is cheap as chips, it usually ranges from $3-$5 and you can find it from chemists and health food stores. It has soo many benefits including cleansing and aiding in healing minor cuts, burns, cracked skin, pimples...the list goes on and on...but the best part ever-it's also one of the BEST LIP BALMS EVER.
A handy tip is put some paw paw ointment on your lips at night, wake up and exfoliate your lips by gently scrubbing them with a soft toothbrush and then put some more ointment on or some gloss and ta da: pouty sexy soft lips.
I always have a tube ready-some of my friends have gone out and bought some just because of the packaging yet I'm always being hounded for those with dreaded dry lips. This ointment is a saviour especially for the budget savvy.

Organic Rosehip Oil

Beauty Review 1#:

The House of Herbs specializes in Organic Skincare and I decided to try out a product some claim to be their 'secret weapon' to glowing skin. This secret weapon is of course rosehip oil. Now you may or may not have heard of it-or possibly might be using at the moment, or considering it. This oil is a perfect substitute for a night cream especially for young skin. I felt as I was searching for a night cream, most of it was specifically for mature skin. Rosehip oil can be used by anyone of any age with any skin type including mature skin. Apply it to clean skin in the evening and wake up with hydrated and renewed skin. If MYER is close to you, buy House of Herb's Organic Rosehip oil for just $14.95 AUD. If not, but it online for just $17.05 AUD.
This is a product that can be incorporated into your daily beauty routine, free of fuss and will leave you with baby soft rejuvenated skin every morning!
