Chlobo's Closet Travel: Beauty

Manuka Doctor Rejuvenating Face Mask, bee venom and UMF 18+ Manuka.


A purchase from England I have used quite frequently, that I had to bring in my cosmetics bag.

It has been my skin saviour so far on my journey. India is highly polluted and incredibly dusty, therefore my skin has been acting up. With the addition of the sheer heat from the sun, I would quite like to keep those pesky wrinkles at bay for as long as possible.

It is a light weight creamy mask, that smells delightful. It says to apply on the area for 15-30 minutes but I leave it on for as long as I like because it feels so amazing on my skin. Sometimes I even sleep in it, although it does not look too good in the morning when it has flaked off.

After using the product, my skin feels cleaner and brighter. Plus even some of my tiny little crinkles above my nose, near my forehead look slightly fuller. I always feel better for using it as my skin is so soft at the touch and feels, much more hydrated.

I am not going to tell you that it is a miracle worker and gives you a Botox effect because no product in the world can do that, without you actually having Botox but it does give you a boost.

Please note that this does not contain bee venom, more just a replicant.

This pot has lasted my really well, for a few months and you do not need to go over board with the application.

The best part is that it comes at a reasonable price. Originally it was £49.99 but I believe it is now on offer on Amazon for £26.66. It is also the perfect compact size for travelling around with you too - which is an added bonus for me right now with backpacking.

Let me know if you have used Manuka Doctor products and tell me your thoughts.

Love and peace

Chlobo's Closet Fashion: Jewellery Pieces

As you know I am touring Asia at the moment and I wanted to share a little treasure I found. This was two days ago, at a quaint bizarre set in the village Hampi, South India. Hampi is a beautiful place and the only way I can describe it, is that it looks like Bedrock from the Flinstones. As mentioned in my blog I will be putting my journey in order when I return back to England, so you will read all the information on Hampi.

I have been in seventh heaven with all the jewels here in India, throughout. I am not a standard girl who likes dainty jewellery such as solitaire rings and small chained pendant necklaces. Not that I judge anyone who wears these but in my case, it is big beads, massive rings with precious stones - the bigger the better.

At the bizarre I found a woven gold necklace, which I intentionally brought to wear as a headpiece. I will wear it as necklace too but I love to play with accessories in different ways. I think this piece was originally 350 rupees but with the joys and art of haggling, I got him down to 150, which is £1.50 in British Pounds.

Have a look below to see what I have done with it so far.

Chlobo's Closet; Travel

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to inform you all, that I will be continuing with the blog when I return to the UK. My sincere apologies but due to lack of resources in the technological department in Asia,it is rather difficult. I wanted so very much to blog each place in order, so you could follow our trail but with the best images on the SD card it is quite hard to obtain a computer to upload them onto here. Therefore I shall be putting my journey up in order, that we have travelled, when I return home. 

Should I find any good make up finds or accessories, I will make sure to blog them, to keep you interested. Alternatively you can find some fun images on my Instagram account in the meantime; Chloe Mercer.

Stay safe, have fun and I will hopefully blog soon!

Lots of love and if not before :- Have a very Merry Christmas and New Year (that feels very odd to say when I am sat in a climate with full sunshine and temperatures of up to 38 degrees) 

Love and peace
