Honeybee Gardens

What's one makeup step you've quietly stopped doing?

Not because somebody told you to stop. Not because it's “wrong” for your age. You just reached a point where you thought…
Yeah, I'm not doing that anymore. 😂

Maybe you stopped wearing foundation every day. Maybe you gave up on contouring. Maybe you don't bother curling your lashes anymore. Maybe you decided three eye shadow colors could very easily become one.

Makeup routines change. Our skin changes. Our lives change. And sometimes we simply realize we don't actually enjoy doing something we've been doing for years.

I think we spend a lot of time talking about things we're supposed to add to our beauty routines.

I'm much more interested in what you've happily removed from yours.

So what's the makeup step you quietly retired?

No judgment here. I may steal your idea. 😂

Apparently feeding me has become a group project at Honeybee Gardens. 😂

There is a strange phenomenon that happens here.

Food just…appears on my desk.

Someone brings something in. Someone thinks I need a snack. Someone has something they think I should try.

The other day Rachel put a clementine on my desk and then kept checking to see whether I'd eaten it. 😂

Today I apparently required a KING SIZE Peanut Chew.

I don't know when feeding Melissa became part of everyone's job description, but they take the responsibility very seriously.

Does this happen at your workplace too? Is there always one person trying to feed everybody?

Because apparently at Honeybee Gardens, I have several. 😂

So apparently I told you how to get a free Nectar Lip Mask this week…but didn't really tell you why you might want one. 😂

Lip masks sound a little fancy, but they're really not.

I think of Nectar as the thing you reach for when regular lip balm just isn't cutting it.

Before bed when your lips feel dry. 🛌

In the morning while you're getting ready. 🪞

Before lipstick when your lips need a little help first. 💄

Or sitting beside you at your desk because somehow once October arrives your lips decide winter has officially begun. 😂

It's thick, cushiony and meant to hang around on your lips rather than disappearing five minutes after you put it on.

And right now we're giving one away FREE with a $50+ product purchase, along with free U.S. shipping. No code needed — we'll automatically add it once your product total reaches $50. ❤️

Are you a lip-balm-in-every-room person, or are you somehow one of those responsible adults who can keep track of ONE?

Does anyone else get overwhelmed when there are TOO many choices?

I realize this may be a strange thing for someone who sells makeup to admit. 😂

But sometimes I don't want 47 options. I don't want to compare 16 versions of essentially the same thing. I don't want to read 900 reviews.
I just want someone I trust to say, “This one. Get this one.”

Maybe that's why I've become much more appreciative of things that are simple as I've gotten older.

Fewer choices. Fewer steps. Fewer things I don't actually need.

And after two days of Prime deals everywhere I look, apparently I needed to get that off my chest. 😂

Please tell me I'm not alone.

Okay, today I actually AM here to give you something. 😂

Starting today, spend $50 on Honeybee Gardens products and we'll add a FREE Nectar Lip Mask to your order — plus your order ships free. ❤️

If you haven't tried Nectar yet, it's our rich, cushiony lip treatment made for those times when your lips need a little extra love. Wear it during the day, slather it on before bed, or keep it nearby once cold-weather lip season arrives. (Unfortunately, it has. 😂)

No code needed. Once your product total reaches $50, we'll automatically add your free Nectar Lip Mask to your order.

And yes — you can absolutely use this as an excuse to finally try something you've been curious about. 😉

FREE Nectar Lip Mask + FREE U.S. shipping with $50+ product purchase

October 6–13, while supplies last.

Tiberius would like to know how you're doing.

Although judging by his face, you may want to choose your words carefully. 😂

Seriously though — how are you?

Maybe you had a great day. Maybe you're exhausted. Maybe something good happened. Maybe you're worried about something. Or maybe you're just wondering how it's Monday again.

No makeup question. Nothing to buy. I just thought we'd check in with each other tonight.

Give me your day in one word.

I'll go first: tired.

Tiberius's word appears to be “unimpressed.” 😂

If fall were a lip gloss. ❤️🍂

Ruby Nectar Royal Lip Elixir is rich, juicy, glossy and just looks like October to me.

It's one of those shades that looks dramatic in the tube but wears as a beautiful sheer wash of berry-red color — so you get that deeper fall look without committing to a full-on dark lip.

And the shine. ✨

Apparently my fall beauty personality isn't just brown eye shadow and hot chocolate. 😂

Are you a berry-lip person for fall, or do you stick with your usual lip colors all year?

This is one of those Honeybee products I sometimes forget is actually pretty unusual.

Our WaterColors Nail Enamel is water-based.

Yes. Water. 💧💅

Instead of relying on the strong solvents used in traditional nail polish, WaterColors uses a water-based system that forms a film on the nail as it dries.

Which also means something you'll notice pretty quickly when you open the bottle:

That traditional nail-polish smell? It isn't there.

We originally created WaterColors for people who wanted beautiful nail color without all the fumes and ingredients commonly found in conventional polish. And all these years later, there still aren't a whole lot of truly water-based nail polishes out there.

It behaves a little differently from conventional polish — because it is different. We recommend thin coats and our Endure Primer/Sealer for the best wear.

Had you ever heard of water-based nail polish before Honeybee Gardens?

I don't think we talk about this enough. 👀

Our Create Your Own Eye Shadow Palette is actually one of the best values we offer.

You choose four Pressed Mineral Eye Shadow shades and build the palette you want — instead of buying a preselected palette where there's inevitably that one color you never touch. 😂

And here's the part I think gets overlooked:

You save 44% compared with buying the shadows individually.

No sale. No coupon code. That's just the regular price.

Pick four everyday neutrals. Four colors completely outside your comfort zone. A mix of mattes and shimmer. Whatever you'll actually wear.

If you were building a four-shadow palette right now, what colors would make the cut? 👇
