Review: Perlier Italian Sorbet Limone Refreshing Crackling Ice Body Water


So today I have something brilliantly awh-mazin' and interesting to show you.  It's Perlier's Italian Sorbet Limone Refreshing Crackling Ice Body Water, which I received from iFabbo for review purposes.  When I first heard about this product, I was instantly curious and excited to try it out.  Let me tell you, it has been hecka hot lately in SoCal.  So getting this product was so helpful in keeping my family and I nice and cool right away.

Features:
  • 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

They suggest you place this product inside the fridge to give it that extra coolness when it touches your skin.  I first tried it as soon as I received it, and found that it still felt really cold.  I then shoved the Cracking Ice Body Water into the fridge so I could take it to my family day picnic.  As we were sitting near the lake, I took out the product from the cooler and spritzed some on my skin.  I was instantly cooled down and it felt so refreshing that my husband and son asked if they could use it as well.  They instantly fell in love with the product and were fascinated with how it felt cold.  My son loves the crackling noises that it makes when you apply it to your skin and massage it as well.  


It comes out super foamy and then starts to bubble up and you will begin to hear it start crackling.  The above image is how it looks when it bubbles.  My son calls it acid lol.  


The only real issue I had with this product was the nuzzle for it.  There were times when it wouldn't come out at all, and it seemed iffy when you pushed it down for it to come out.  But I overlooked it mostly cause it is an interesting product and it seriously helped my family and I keep nice and cool.  

The Perlier Italian Sorbet Limone Refreshing Crackling Ice Body Water cost $24.50 for a 150ml which I can understand is pretty pricey for how it is used.  But this product has been abused so much in my family, and there is still some of the icy water within it.  Not to mention if you love nifty skin care products it would be fun to grab this up.  

You could find this item on HSN.com and they have a discount on your first order of Perlier products you get $5 off by using the code iFabbo5.  

So take a risk.  Cool yourself down with Perlier Italian Sorbet Limone Refreshing Crackling Ice Body Water.  Check them out on Twitter: #PerlierOnHSN #CoolestBeautyProductEver.

Review: RMK - Ingenious W Powder Eyes 04 & Gloss Lips N EX-06


Hi Darlings!  Today I have two products from RMK, that I received from LookFantastic for review purposes.  They are from the company RMK, which has some of you may know are a Japanese brand, and it is their Ingenious W Powder Eyes in 04 (gray), and a Gloss Lips in N EX-06 (limited edition Gold).


The packages on these were a sleek silver box that has embossed lettering of "Take me.  Open Up.  Choose me."  I think this is totally eye catching as you walk down the aisle looking at the makeup.  If something told me to choose them I'll stop, look, and wonder why I should do so.

Review: 3 Concept Eyes Lip Paints in Shade 7 & 8



Today on my blog I would love to share with you two lip paints by 3 Concept Eyes, that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  These lip paints are the latest edition to the lippie line that BornPrettyStore carries.  I was excited to review these because when I first saw them they reminded me of OCC Lip Tars and Sleek Makeup Pout Paints.  Well in that concept at the least.

Out of the eight shades, I decided to pick #7 and #8 since I wanted something that I would be able to wear both of them at separate times.

Review: MISSHA Complexion Coordinating BB Cream SPF43/PA+++


Hello Lovelies!  How is everyone doing?  I hope you are all having a wonderful summer thus far!  Today I have one of the new MISSHA Signature Complexion Coordinating BB Cream that hit the US market just last week to share with you, which was received for review purposes.  MISSHA Cosmetics is a Korean brand that appeared in the US market back in 2009.  They carry a wide range of beauty products: lipsticks, nail polish, BB cream, blush, etc.

**This product was sent to me from MISSHA US for review purposes.  This is based upon my own experience with the product.

MISSHA-US carries two types of Signature Complexion Coordinating BB Cream SPF43/PA+++:

  • No. 1 Pure Complexion: is a skin brightening white cream that is designed to adjust to a natural tone for a clear and glowing skin.  Which is basically for those who prefer a very sheer coverage for a more enhanced natural skin rather than the cover up type.
  • No. 2 Flawless Complexion:  is a flaw correcting beige cream that is designed for a clear and smooth skin.  This one is for those of us who are looking for some coverage.
The one I will be sharing with you is the No. 2 Flawless Complexion.  Can you believe a CC Cream and BB Cream in one?  Simply awwwhhh-mmaaazzing!


I was attracted by the package so much, that I actually saved it and put it with the rest of the packages that I thought were too cute to throw away.  Am I the only one who does that?  I thought the combo of black and gold was always pretty ever since I was little.  My mom use to have a coffee and end table that was black and gold.  So this packaging instantly reminded me of those days when I was young.

Review: Tribal Dazzling Gold Glitter Nail Polish


Today I would like to show you another glitter polish from the company Tribal Colours that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  If you have not checked out BornPrettyStore, you are totally missing out with some of their wonderful products that they carry.  It is honestly one of my fave shops online to purchase products for nail art and fashion accessories, among other products.


I love the shapes of the Tribal Colours' nail polish bottles.  I am such a sucker for cute packaging.  It helps, right?

Review: Ardency Inn PUNKER World's Baddest Eyeliner


Oh darlings have you heard of the eyeliner Punker from Ardency Inn?  They hit the shelves at Sephora back in February and you could find them in the featured eyeliner section.  A while ago they were kind enough to send me one for review purposes.  I have been messing around with it to see how well it would last.

Ardency Inn is a new company that is deeply rooted in the downtown music scene over in New York.  They are aiming to put the power of makeup artisty into the hands of every woman.    Later on this year they will be releasing a full line of color cosmetics in Fall.  So keep an eye out on that!

So guess who is the Director of Artistry & Education for Ardency Inn!  James FREAKIN' Vincent!!  He has such creativity!!


PUNKER makes it easy for anyone to take their look from boring to bold with one slash across the lash line.  It literally takes the fear out of applying liquid liner.  Keep it simple and sexy with a cat eye or create dramatic shapes of your own that let everyone know you're not a girl to mess with.  - James Vincent
