Review: Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter

First off, Happy Thanksgiving!

Second, review time! I'm jumping right into it this go around and reviewing Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter.

This marvelous melting body butter from the rare honey of Black Bees combined with Royal Jelly, is a true beauty formulation. It nourishes the skin with moisture, leaving it pleasantly scented with the sensual notes of Honey and Oriental woods. Perfect to moisturize the skin in the harsh winter and summer months.

Packaging: Best way I can describe this, body butter tub. The base that holds the product is a simple white, while the cap is a mirrored gold, accented with black and frosted gold. It's very sleek and elegant. You get 6.7fl. oz. of product in the package.

Ingredients: AQUA (WATER), BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER (BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER), THEOBROMA CACAO BUTTER (THEOBROMA CACAO (COCOA) SEED BUTTER), ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE, PERSEA GRATISSIMA OIL (PERSEA GRATISSIMA (AVOCADO) OIL), BEHENYL ALCOHOL, PEG-40 STEARATE, STEARYL ALCOHOL, DIMETHICONE, GLYCERYL STEARATE SE, PENTAERYTHRITYL DISTEARATE, STEARIC ACID, MEL (HONEY), SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS OIL (SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL), CETYL ALCOHOL, ROYAL JELLY, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), PHENOXYETHANOL, CARBOMER, IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, TETRASODIUM EDTA, BHT, METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE, COUMARIN. 

Texture/Formula: The formula for this is very rich and creamy. However, it sinks into the skin very fast.

Scent: This is where I think it comes to personal preference. This body butter has a very strong scent of honey. It was a little overwhelming at first, but I got used to it. It is a very sweet scent though, and it lingers. The Oriental woods scent is a under laying scent that I think the honey over powers.

Overall Verdict: I can see some, maybe not liking this due to the scent, especially if you aren't fond of honey. I'm not fond of a honey scent, but I got over it. What impressed me with this (which is why I got over the scent) is how moisturizing this body butter is! There hard water at work, which dries out my hands terribly, so when I get home, I put this on my hands, and any tightness, dryness, and any cracking; this definitely takes care of it. This is certainly something that I will be using through the winter months. Some lotions or body butters that I've used work ok, but this definitely works wonders.

Review: Perlier 8 Piece Deluxe Travel Kit

After having some issues with the banner, for some reason blogger kept loading it with a grey background, and this kept happening no matter how many times I would load it or what format it would be saved on. If anyone has any clue why that happened, let me know! Please :D?

Anywho! Another night, another review! This time on the Perlier 8 Piece Deluxe Travel Kit that includes a travel bag.

I'm extremely fussy when it comes to body washes and lotions. In fact, I could be using a popular body wash, with all the moisturizer in the world and my skin STILL comes out insanely dry. However, this is primarily due to having very hard water (yeah I'm looking at YOU town that I live in). So, let it be known, that it's very difficult for me to give a positive review when it comes to body washes.

Learn to lavish yourself with wonderfully scented, moisturizing, silky-feeling-skin products.  Each mini is moisture-rich and divinely scented. Too many superlatives? Not for this set — and certainly not for you. When you lavish yourself with these products, it's easy to learn to love the experience.

100% Organic Italian Olive Oil Body Balm & Shower Cream

Perlier's 100% Organic Italian Olive Oil line combines Italian Olive Oil and Tomato Lycopene. This active complex delivers a deep nourishing effect that provides stronger antioxidant protection to the skin. Italian olive oil is an extremely powerful, natural antioxidant.

Scent: Soft and Clean. Ever so slight herbal scent, but not over powering. A barely there scent would be the best way to describe the shower cream. The body balm though has more of a lotion-y scent.

100% Certified Italian Organic Honey Body Balm & Shower Cream

Perlier selects nature's most precious elements for the health and beauty of the skin.Honey, the ingredient, which more than any other, characterizes the natural recipes phenomenon with its richness, vitamins, proteins and minerals. 

Scent: The Shower cream as a distinctive scent of honey. Definitely stronger than the body balm. The body balm itself, has a very soft scent to it, I can't quite put my finger on it, but it has more of a sweet scent to it than the shower cream.

Pure 100% Certified Organic Shea Butter & Citrus Body Balm & Shower Cream

Perlier has extracted the precious Shea Butter from the fruits of the Tree of Youth, pure 100% certified organic Shea Butter, with intense and long-lasting moisturizing properties. 

Scent: While both are described to have soft notes of citrus, I don't smell it! These two are probably the only two out of the set that I can't smell any scent to. While they have that "clean" scent, I just don't smell any citrus to them.

White Almond with Cold Pressed & Pure Almond Oil Body Balm & Shower Cream

Perlier's White Almond line contains sweet almond milk and white almond oil, both are richly concentrated in natural emollients and nutrients. Ideal for dry or delicate skin types, White Almond offers moisturizing protection while its natural softening agents leave the skin smooth, fresh and supple.

Scent: A light almond scent, especially with the shower cream. The body balm is actually lighter in scent than the shower cream.

Overall Verdict: I do like certain pieces to this travel kit. My favorite shower creams is both the Olive Oil and the White Almond. Both seem to add some moisture back to my skin after taking a shower. While all the body balms work wonders, some with more lasting effects than others aka the Shea Butter body balm seems to take its time working into the skin and stays on the surface longer, it's also the thicker balm of the four. My favorite of the body balms is the Organic Honey. There's just something about it that works best for me, plus the scent is more comforting. It reminds me of a scent from childhood. All four body balms do leave the skin feeling supple, so it really depends on which one you prefer.

Review: Perlier Lemon Crackling Body Water

Next up on the review block is something that has been long awaited for! Ok, maybe not, the product has been waiting though!

I received via, iFabbo, Perlier Lemon Crackling Body Water. What attrached me to this is simply the word, crackling. How can water possibly crackle? Not to mention it's suppose to moisturize the skin? Huh?

Through HSN though, this is actually referred to Perlier Lemon Sorbet Refreshing Ice Granita. So, hopefully there's no confusion. It's the same product, just different names.

It's summertime. You're sweltering. All you want is a cool, refreshing sorbet. How about indulging in a little sorbet sweetness — for your skin? Exuding an exhilarating scent, this granita is the perfect summertime skincare refreshment.

• Sparkling and crisp
• Moisturizes and refreshes in one step
• Makes your skin pleasantly smooth and scented
• Crackles when applying to skin
• Provides sudden and strong cooling effect
• Formulated with food ingredients, just like a true fruit sorbet
• Fresh and light texture gives a sorbet-like effect on the skin
• Made in Italy

 via hsn.com

Product: The product comes in a white can that has the green and white striped label that runs almost the length of the can, and wraps around. The cap itself is a frosted plastic cap that fits snug on top. The amount of crackling ice or water you get inside is 5fl oz. or 150ml. The nozzle itself under the cap is what I like to call a combo of a spray nozzle and a pump nozzle, with a wide, square opening for the product to come from.

Directions: This is actually simple, I for one never put it in the refridgerator to chill it as it remains cool enough for me without. But all you do is squirt a little bit on to your hands, arms and/or legs and watch the magic!

Product: The product itself is interesting. It comes out much like how hair mouse does. It foams up, but it continues to crackle. The liquid part does run though. When you start to rub the product in, that's where the fun starts! The product, crackles even more. Think pouring water into a VERY hot sauce pan. It sounds like it sizzles.

Scent: Lemon-y. There is a definite lemon scent. At first it reminded me of lemon pledge, but not quite. The lemon scent doesn't linger long on the skin though.

Overall Verdict: While the whole crackling is just awesome, this is definitely a product I would reach for when the weather was overly hot. It is definitely refreshing as it remains cool in the can. Once the product is rubbed into the skin, it has a slight stickiness to it that slowly disappears into the skin. It could just be me, but I do feel an ever so slight residue from it. I couldn't see myself forgoing my hand lotion for this though. It is definitely fun and truth be told, the sound drives my dog mad.
