Perlier Shea Butter Softening Moisturizing Hand Cream with White Lily Extract Review

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

Perlier Shea Butter Softening Moisturizing Hand Cream with White Lily Extract is a thick, rich and deeply moisturizing hand cream. The texture itself, while emollient, has the protective textural quality of Shea Butter in that after it is absorbed it leaves behind a protective veil on the skin that keeps skin moisturized for hours after a single application. It is a very concentrated hand cream that will last a very long time given that it comes in a generous 6.7 oz tube. The flip cap squeeze tube packaging itself is very convenient because one can easily dispense only the smallest amount. The scent might best be described as a mild lily kissed floral that lasts for about an hour before fading into a slightly perceptible faint floral scent.

My hands look and feel unbelievably hydrated when I use this hand cream, and find it so effective that I have already decanted some in order to carry it in my purse. If you wash your hands frequently, or generally have particularly dry hands-- then this lovely hand cream is  well worth your consideration.

According to Perlier,

This luxurious hand cream is formulated with 100% organic Shea Butter and extracts of White Lily which are soothing and emollient for the skin while maintaining the skin's appearance by helping to optimize elasticity and firmness.

Perlier has extracted from the fruits of the Tree of Youth an important part of Shea Butter: the new moisturizing Hand Cream, made up with 15% of Shea Butter and White Lily extracts with lenitive and emollient properties; it grants smoothness to the most sensitive skins.

Perlier Honey Miel Royal Elixir Facial Serum Review & Pictures

Press Sample Courtesy of iFabbo and Perlier (Unaffiliated Links)

I have loved Perlier products for many years, and remember using their honey bath gel as a teenager. The moment I read about their Royal Elixir Facial Serum I knew that I wanted to try it, and I jumped at the chance to begin using it as soon as the opportunity arose.

According to the company,

From Perlier, the exclusive innovative Youth Elixir with fresh Royal Jelly, the precious secret of longevity of the Queen bee, which lives 50 times longer than the other bees thanks to this extraordinary nourishment. A natural, unique and inimitable tonic, which is capable to give the look of new life into aged skin. It is a true cosmetic prodigy, which mixes the extraordinary regenerating power of Royal Jelly, fresh as if recently collected, (never freeze dried or made into a powder) and the incredible vital energy of true Italian organic Honey for unprecedented age-defying effectiveness.

Key features according to Perlier:

• Light-weight gel formula
• Fresh Royal Jelly pearls
• Cell regeneration
• Boosts cell energy
• Helps aged skin appear renewed and more youthful-looking
• Non-irritating complex of ingredients may be used around the eye area
• Formula in which all water has been replaced by rose distillate
• Rose distillate has been shown to have moisturizing and toning properties
• Formula contains approximately 70% functional key ingredients
• Use on dull, lifeless skin for a fresh glow.

Perlier suggests that you apply it, "day and night on clean skin, under treatment cream or moisturizer, for 7 consecutive days per month."

My experience: This lightweight anti-aging serum has a very creamy consistency, but it sinks into the skin quickly and definitely leaves it feeling very moisturized. It has a very light scent that seems to be a combination of the honey and the Rosa Centifolia Flower Water, yet it does seem to fade after a few minutes. What I do find surprising is the fact that Perlier opted to include a micro-shimmer in this serum-- presumably to impart a diffused radiant glow. While it has a barely-there appearance on the skin, it does indeed give the complexion a lovely ethereal glowing quality. I almost always add a few drops of serum or face oil to my foundation or tinted moisturizer, so I thought that I would add a healthy pump of Perlier Honey Miel Royal Elixir Facial Serum to my foundation in part to see how well it performed, and to see whether I could detect the shimmer. I have to say, this is now my favorite way to use this serum-- skin is left nourished and hydrated, and my foundation now has that certain je ne sais quoi that makes it look just stunning. It's neither too dewy, nor too shimmery-- but instead it looks just perfect! It is a bit like adding a refined luminizer with skincare ingredients to your foundation, but in fact it is actually a skincare product containing some shimmer!

Ingredients: Rosa Centifolia Flower Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Aqua (Water), Propylheptyl Caprylate, Olus Oil (Vegetable Oil), Miel (Honey), Bis-PEG/PPG-20/5 PEG/PPG-20/5 Dimethicone, Methoxy PEG/PPG-25/4 Dimethicone, Dimethicone, Royal Jelly, Bis-PEG/PPG-14/14 Dimethicone, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Chondrus Crispus Extract (Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan), Glucose, Dimethiconol, Acacia Senegal Gum, Sodium Polyacrylate, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, PEG-7 Trimethylolpropane Coconut Ether, Mica, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polyisobutene, Phenoxyethanol, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol Alginate, Parfum, Polysorbate 20, Geraniol, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Hexyl Cinnamal, Anise Alcohol, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 77491 (Iron Oxide).

Overall assessment: A very nice moisturizing serum, but be forewarned that it does contain shimmer which may not please everyone. While it is a lovely serum in its own right, it offers the perfect boost to my foundation.

Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter: A Delicious Review!

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Link)

Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter has simply got to be the most scrumptious body butter that I have ever tried! It smells divine, and while Perlier describes it as "pleasantly scented with the sensual notes of honey and oriental woods" I do pick up a slight sweet earthiness to the scent. Interestingly, the scent seems to morph into a chocolate-tinged honey on my skin, but soon fades after application.

This "marvelous melting body butter" is formulated with the rare honey from African Black Bees that has been combined with Royal Jelly. This beautiful concoction deeply nourishes the skin leaving it supremely moisturized and hydrated. While I would most certainly argue that Imperial Honey Body Butter is well-suited to year-round use, it is absolutely and positively winter perfect! I realize that winter in Los Angeles differs markedly from, say, winter in Toronto-- but it has been getting quite cold at night here, and this body balm has been a skin-saver for my dry winter skin.

As you can probably tell from this picture, this is a rich and dense body butter, but it really does effortlessly melt into the skin. The texture is soft, creamy, buttery, but not in the least bit greasy or unpleasant. It leaves a lovely light protective veil on the skin, and the final textural presence is that of the high quality Shea Butter that was chosen for this body butter.

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.

Overall assessment: Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter is simply divine! This is yet another reason to love Perlier!

Perlier Volcanic Thermal Spa Scrub Review

Press Sample

According to Perlier, Volcanic Thermal Spa Scrub is,

"Much, much more than just a body scrub, it is a true beauty treatment for the body! It revitalizes and renews the epidermis with natural minerals with different particles sizes, and it delivers a dual rejuvenating and smoothing action. The larger mineral particles work with the Thermal water to stimulate regeneration deep in the epidermis, making it easier for new young cells to form. The finer powders smooth the skin, removing dead cells and rough areas, leaving the skin soft and velvety like truly 'new skin'. By massaging over the body, the energy of the Volcanic rocks reawakens the skin's vital functions leaving it more receptive to subsequent treatments for additional effectiveness."

Key Features:

-Complex of key ingredients contains water from the hot spring concession located in the municipality of Abana Terme (Padua).
-Helps optimize skin's elasticity for a more youthful appearance.
-Helps combat visible signs of aging such as the appearance of dull-looking skin.
-Formulated with key ingredients that are rich in mineral salts.
-Contains minerals of different particle size for dual rejuvenating and smoothing beauty action.
-Finer powders smooth skin and rough area. 
-Helps leave skin soft and velvety. 

My experience: First I have to state that Perlier Volcanic Thermal Spa Scrub has a delightful fresh and clean scent that explodes when ignited by the warm water in the shower, and this definitely helps to create a delicious SPA experience for the senses. This scrub does an astounding job removing all of the dead skin and leaving skin feeling like crushed velvet to the touch! I also really like the fact that it does not leave an oily residue on the bottom of my shower as so many scrubs will do. I also love how quickly my body oils and lotions sink into my skin after using this delightful scrub. It is a new favorite for me! If you love body exfoliating scrubs as much as I do- then you will really love this one!

Ingredients: AQUA (WATER), GLYCERIN, POLYETHYLENE, SODIUM POLYACRYLATE, PUMICE, SILICA, OLIVINE EXTRACT, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA, METHYLCHLOROISOTHIAZOLINONE, METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE, BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL, HYDROXYISOHEXYL 3-CYCLOHEXENE CARBOXALDEHYDE, LINALOOL, HEXYL CINNAMAL, CI 42090 (BLUE 1).

Overall assessment: This is an awesome scrub! I will definitely purchase another jar once I finish this one!
