Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter Review

Hello and Happy Holidays!

Today I have something just wonderful to share with you. You may recall a review I shared not too log ago for the Perlier's Lemon Sorbet Crackling Ice Water? Well, today I have another luxurious product from Perlier up for review, the Imperial Honey Body Butter.

You can find this on HSN, and here is what they say about it:

This exclusive melting body butter from the rare Honey of Black Bees, combined with Royal Jelly, is a true youth-elixir. It nourishes the skin, leaving it pleasantly scented with the sensual notes Honey and Oriental woods. Perfect to protect the skin from cold in winter and also ideal to help sooth the skin after sun exposure.

Formulated with the honey of black bees and royal jelly
Nourishes skin with moisture
Leaves skin pleasantly scented with the sensual notes of honey and oriental woods
Perfect for year-round use
Made in Italy

6.7 fl. oz. Imperial Honey Whipped Body Butter

You can purchase this item here on HSN http://bit.ly/GT2CdC  and if you use the code IFabbo5 you will receive $5 off your first purchase of any Perlier products on HSN. 

 I have to start out by saying that I was instantly in love with the lovely honey scent when I opened it up. I immediately put some on, and I was pleasantly surprised. You start with a light creamy texture that "melts" like butter as you rub it in. You aren't left with that greasy-like residue on your hands when your finished either.  One thing I really like, it seems to do very well with moisturizing as well. I tend to have VERY dry skin in the winter, much like everything else in AZ in this time of year. I can apply this in the morning before I leave for work - and I don't catch myself having to reapply lotion to my arms halfway through my workday. My other favorite part of using the creme, the wonderful rich honey sent and that it last as long as the moisture. If you love honey, and how it smells - you would enjoy this creme for sure!

The price on this is a bit on the higher side at $40 on HSN, however its far better than on Perliers site, there you will find if for $60. Its a bummer that its been sold out on HSN for a couple of weeks now, and I am sure that price difference might be the cause! While this isn't the best of the best that I've ever tired, it is definitely high up on my list. I could definitely see myself purchasing it (on HSN) when mine runs out. I use it a few times a week and since a little seems to go a long way, which make it easier to justify the price. 

Have you tried any products from Perlier? Which was your favorite?

RJ Reviews HYD for Men Shaving Products!

Hello Ladies AND Gentlemen! 

Today I have something very fun to share that you may want to pass along to the men in you home! 

No Shave November is coming to an end with the holidays immediately around the corner. Its time to shave away those scruffy beards and mustaches that you've been able to enjoy for the last few weeks. What a better time to try something new and change up your routine! 

Ladies - Cant think of what to get the man that buys everything he wants? (I have one of those too!) Consider picking this up as a stocking stuffer! Hes going to love it!

I've brought my ever supportive husband, RJ, in to try these out and share his thoughts about the HYD For Men shaving products. 

---------------------------------------

New shaving products to try out? Sign me up! Today I have the new HYD For Men shaving products to share with you. Three simple items, a Buffer Stick (face exfoliator), the Shave Cream, and the Razor Shield (razor oil.) With these items, it really keeps my shaving routine simple.

Where can you find these? HYD For Men 
And if you use the code: SAVE20 you will receive 20% off your first purchase!

(These arrived in boxes, but RJ was so excited to try these out I never had the chance to grab them!)


First up, the Buffer Stick. With this, face exfoliation has never been easier. Just enough grit to work the skin, but not to much to cause irritation. Splash a little water on your face and go to town. Be sure to apply a little pressure to actually take advantage of the exfoliation. Rinse off with some cold water and it leaves you face feeling nice and refreshed.

Next, the Shave Cream. I really like this formula. It feels nice and light with the right amount of lather. It also has a very light and clean scent to it. The HYD For Men Shave Cream doesn't seen to go quite as far but that is expected. My shaving routine before consisted of a pre-shave oil and a more traditional shave cream. Shaving with this is nice and easy. Without using a pre-shave oil, this cream still helps the blades slide nice and smooth against the skin. The cream does not get all gunky in between the blades and rinses out with a breeze. If you are the type of person that just uses a shaving gel, you might want to give this a try. I've given up on using gel shaving creams over a year ago and I wouldn't go back. This Shave Cream would be a very nice and easy transition away from the gels.

Finally, the Razor Shield. Now, I've never used a product like this before but I love the idea of it and the science behind is something that I can really get behind and support. After every shave I've been applying this to the blades. I started off with a new set of blades about four weeks ago and to me, the blades still feel and look like new. My Razor doesn't seem to have very much, if any build-up on the blades at all. Take into account that I only shave about twice a week, but I usually start to feel some pull by this time from dulling. As soon as I’m done shaving, I rinse off the blades a final time and then apply the product to them.

Overall, this is a great line up. I would recommend the HYD For Men line to anyone that is looking into changing up their routine with better products. The ease and quality of these products makes for a great combination that is very hard to pass up. If you’re still using a gel shaving cream, it might be time to toss that can and get your hands on the HYD Shave Cream at the very least. Your face will thank you.

Perlier Lemon Sorbet Refreshing Ice Granita Review

Hello Lovelies!

Today I bring you a very fun product! Perlier brings us something a bit out of the norm with their Lemon Sorbet Refreshing Ice Granita!

It's a "refreshing crackling ice body water." Now, I know you're thinking, "what the heck is that?" I did too, but it's just that! 

You spray it on your skin and you're immediately greeted with a cold crackling feeling. It's almost like a light fizzy sensation, and when you touch it or rub it on it crackles more. It dries within a few seconds leaving your skin cool and smooth to the touch. It lightly moisturizes as well, but I wouldn't use it to replace my daily lotion. 

Now, the crackling and cold feeling is really neat, but my favorite part about Perlier Refreshing Crackling Ice Body Water, is the scent! It really does smell like Lemon Sorbet. It has a light sweet scent of lemons, and that stays on your skin for a few hours. 

The whole experience is perfect after your out in the heat, or feel a little run down. The cold crackling along with the yummy lemon sorbet scent cools you off and really helps you feel refreshed. It was suggested to store the can in the fridge for an even cooler experience. You don't have to do this, but if you want to try it please do! It amplifies the cooling experience!

This is really a fun product! While its not something I would use daily - it is a nice refreshing pick me up after running errands in the Arizona sun, or even a long tiring day. I would reach in the fridge and spray it on my neck, chest and arms for a quick refresher.

I was given this special offer for my readers! You can receive $5 off your first order of Perlier on HSN.com by using the code iFabbo5 at checkout!

A designer jewelery try and buy? RocksBox Review!

Hello Beauties!

While I was away I had the opportunity to sign up for RocksBox. If you're a subscription box junkie like I am, I know you're already interested! This one really is awesome!

With Rocksbox you receive 3 pieces of designer jewelry, averaging over $200 per set. These pieces are matched, so you can wear them all together or individually. You get up to 60 days to wear your jewelry, decide if you wish to purchase them, or send them back for a new set!

I think this is a very fun subscription to try out. I find that I tend to get bored with my jewelry, I will wear it constantly for a couple of weeks, and then I am looking for something new or different. So Rockbox is a much less expensive option for someone like me. If I do find something that I cant live without, as a member, I can purchase that item 20% off of the retail price.

When you open your envelope you find this super cute box!

These are the pieces I received in my last box!

GorjanaTaner Bar Small Necklace in Sterling Silver
CC Skye Double Header Pave Spike Bracelet in Silver
Lucas Jack Geometry Earrings in Rhodium

What makes RocksBox so fun, is that you can easily send your current box back for a new one anytime, up to 60 days. When you get your box, it comes with a prepaid postage return envelope. SO you just pack everything back up and withing a couple of weeks you have something fresh and new! They have a email notification system that is very handy as well, and you only get emails to let you know whats going on, such as; when your returned box was received, when your new one is on your way, and when you are near your 30 and 60 day marks.

The details? www.RocksBox.com
