Review: Resvology Age Corrective Eye Cream



Review time! Fair warning, there's two sorts of photos in this post. Two different cameras. I was given a "new" camera and I'm still trying to figure out the settings on it, which is why some pictures may have a pink tint to it. Haven't figured out why that's happening. If anyone has any tips for a Canon S3 SI (why I put new in quotes before because it's an old model) new user, leave a comment please! 


Through a campaign via Brand Backer, I was sent a sample of Resvology's Age Corrective Eye Cream. I'm all for eye creams, especially if they say that they help dark circles. So lets get to it!

Eye of the Day: Retrograde Pixie Dust


Yeah, no, not dead yet! Just overly distracted by new TV Shows. I don't know if that's bad or not. Sleepy Hollow, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Once Upon A Time... Plus I've also taken to Modern Family, which I never watched before until recently. WHY HAVEN'T I BEEN WATCHING THIS BEFORE?!

Ahem, other then that. If you follow me on Instagram, then you know last Saturday I wore a dress to work. Out of my comfort zone. But I did it, and I'm doing it again this Saturday. Truth be told, this dress is actually a dress that I wanted as soon as I saw it in Target. I have NEVER wanted a dress before, but it's the type that I was just drawn to, I think because from afar it looked like a matte leather due to the embossed fabric.

Enough of that though, the main purpose of this post is an eye look that I have been wearing rather often. It was actually one of those "lets see if it'll work" and I get nothing, but compliments when I do wear it.

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.

Perlier 8 Piece Deluxe Travel Kit
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.


Perlier 8 Piece Deluxe Travel Kit
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.


Perlier 8 Piece Deluxe Travel Kit
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.
