What are the benefits of honey?
Honey has been a popular addition to many diets over the years, famed for its moisturising benefits. But how does honey help our complexions when it comes to skincare? Holly Ellis, national beauty expert at Guerlain, shares her favourite honey properties…
“Guerlain has been conducting research into the repairing properties of honey for almost two decades, and is the heart of its iconic skincare range Abeille Royale. Guerlain in its research has discovered that honey has repairing properties. With these findings, Guerlain has developed new technologies (such as the Dynamic Black Bee Repair Technology) that use the power of honey in skincare and makeup.”
“The new KissKiss Bee Glow Oil is a 92% natural plumping oil infused with Corsican honey, royal jelly and propolis. The Corsican honey has soothing properties and provides long-lasting comfort, whilst the royal jelly hydrates and plumps but also has volumising properties," explains Holly. "Rosehip oil complements the honey-based formulation to boost the lipids of the lip barrier, which contribute to the deep regeneration and reinforcement of the lips day after day.”
“This bee beauty secret is designed to deeply nourish, repair and plump the lips, delivering 24-hours of care and addictive, glassy shine with no stickiness.”
Which Guerlain lip oil shade is right for me?
Not sure which hue is for you? Holly’s even on-hand to reveal the perfect lip oil shade to suit your style…
- “Rose Glow creates a rosy pink tone for your lips. I would pair this lip oil with the Rose Glow Kiss Kiss Bee Glow Lip Balm – shade 258.”
- “Honey Glow creates a natural nude tone for your lips. I would pair this lip oil with the Honey Glow Kiss Kiss Bee Glow Lip Balm – shade 309.”
- “Peach Glow creates a peachy orange tone for your lips. I would pair this lip oil with the Peach Glow Kiss Kiss Bee Glow Lip Balm – shade 319.”
- “Pop Rose Glow adds a nice pop of pink, with a slightly deeper undertone to your lips. I would pair this with Poppy or Rose Glow Kiss Kiss Bee Glow Lip Balm – shade 409.”
- “Poppy Glow creates a gorgeous bright red tone for your lips. I would pair this lip oil with the Poppy Glow Kiss Kiss Bee Glow Lip Balm – shade 775.”
- “Poppy Glow creates a deep purple tone for your lips. I would pair this lip oil with the Lavender Glow Kiss Kiss Bee Glow Lip Balm – shade 809.”
What our beauty team thought...
“I’m always tempted by new lip oils – and Guerlain’s luxury formula did not disappoint! I layered KissKiss Bee Glow Honey Lip Tint Oil in shade ‘Lavender Glow’ over the KissKiss Bee Glow Honey Tinted Balm in 'Rose Glow' to create the perfect pop of colour – it’s super subtle and I love that the oil has a smooth but non-sticky texture, meaning my fine hair is less likely to stick to it on a windy day!”
"I am obsessed with this honey-infused lip oil! My lips are smooth, luscious and glossy with a vibrant hint of pinky-red. I paired the KissKiss Glow Oil with the Bee Glow Caring Balm (both in shade 'Poppy Glow'!) for the ultimate glow routine, and I have to say — I'm impressed! The colour lasted all day and my lips felt super hydrated."
