Manuka Doctor Face Oil 24K Gold & Manuka Honey (12ml for $24.95)
As a fellow Kiwi, I would literally buy anything that has "Manuka Honey" in it. This type of honey is so active and so beneficial for the human body, it's crazy. It's gold. By the way, did you know that "Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil" is sunflower seed oil? Yes, my immaturity got stuck on the second word. The more you know... Anyway, this face oil contains Annuus oil, sorry, sunflower seed oil; sweet almond oil; jojoba oil and others. It's a nice oil, albeit, it does take a while for it to sink in. Hence, less is more. The skin feels nice in the morning-- have not experienced any adverse effects.

Manuka Doctor Lip Enhancer (15ml for $24)
I have read a lot of bad reviews about this product. A lot of people say that it "doesn't work at all". But I must say...if you expect this product to give you Angelina Jolie lips, you are coming with a wrong expectation. For that to happen, you will need to have botox, and quite a bit of it. This product "wakens up" the lips. It doesn't make them significantly bigger. It has bee venom in it that basically creates an allergic reaction, which actually is that "plumping" effect. And upon application, you feel it working straight away. Your lips get this cold tingle, which lasts for awhile (so it doesn't immediately disappear, which means that the product has a longer span of activity). Overall, it did do something. But then again, I do not have the smallest lips to start with.
