Product Review: Keranique Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner

It's time for another beauty review with iFabbo and this month it's Keranique's Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner. It's been awhile since I've done a product review since my last one for T3Micro Twirl 360 Motion Sensing Styling Iron was not my favorite. I was ready for a product that really worked, especially since I have hair that is constantly styled with heat and product on a daily basis.

Here's what I thought of the product:

Description of Product via Keranique:
The foundation for thicker, fuller looking hair. The Clean & Condition Set is specially formulated to gently clean and stimulate the scalp to nourish and rejuvenate the hair follicles.

• Protects against cuticle damage.
• Healthy way of keeping hair fuller and thicker looking.

Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster Review

It's time for another beauty review with iFabbo and it's the perfect one for me to try out: Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster. If anyone has dry skin, it's me. From all the travel I do to winter climates, my skin is always dry. It's hard to keep it moisturized no matter how many glasses of water I drink or how much I slather lotion on my face.

Here's what I thought of the product:

Description of Product via Dermalogica:
Skin hydrating booster:

Hydrating fluid concentrate relieves dryness and fine lines. Help lift moisture levels and minimize fine lines by mixing into your prescribed Dermalogica Moisturizer or applying directly to parched skin. Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, Glycolipids and Algae Extract help restore moisture balance. Formulated without artificial fragrances and colors.

Benefits:
Hydrates tissues to smooth and minimize fine lines.
Use as a spot treatment or all over to revitalize skin.
Non-greasy formula is suitable for all skin conditions.

Ingredients:
Water/aqua/eau, Glycerin, Panthenol, Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Glycolipids, Hydrolyzed Algin, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, Sea Water, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Linalool, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil.

Does It Work?: For me, it wasn't a winner. I still had dry skin. In fact, I had to add an additional moisturizer booster to keep my skin hydrated. I used this product for a full six weeks to see if it was the type of product that took a reasonable amount of time to get going. My skin just never adjusted to this product.

Cost: $56

Where Is It Sold?: You can buy it directly off of the Dermalogica website where you can get a 15% discount off any booster purchase through May 31, 2014 by using the code BOOST at checkout.

Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter Review

It's another beauty review for you! This time, it's Perlier's Imperial Honey Body Butter that was given to me by iFabbo to test drive. I've really enjoyed Perlier's product line this year, it's been one of my favorite beauty discoveries. Did I like this product, too? Find out…

Description of the Product via HSN:
Luxuriate in pure bliss. Perlier's imported beauty treatment makes you feel like you've spent the day at the spa!

Key Benefits:

• 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

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.

Does It Work?: 

I found this product to be extremely hydrating especially on my troubled areas like my elbows which are very dry all throughout the year. It made them soft and smooth, so I love that aspect of the product. One caveat, I hated the smell. I think they were going for a honey fragrance, but it just smelled off to me. Since I am sensitive to smells, I wouldn't use this product again.

Cost: $40

Perlier Shower & Bath Cream Kit Review

It's time to take a look at another beauty product that was sent to me via iFabbo. I have to say I was a little disappointed in last month's pick because of the presence of Parabens in the product. This month's pick is Perlier's Deluxe Travel Kit and I was in heaven. Given the fact that I am an ingredients reader from the beginning I was happy to see some of the products were Paraben-free.

Here is what I received:

1 oz. Honey Body Balm Mini
1.6 fl. oz. Honey Shower Cream Mini
1.6 fl. oz. Olivarium Bath & Shower Cream Mini

Ingredients:
The list was so long with eight items, so I encourage you to head here to see the list. I was pleased with what I saw in the shower creams, but the body creams list Methylparaben. Sigh. It is frustrating to see beauty companies still use this sketchy item in their products.

Does It Work?:
I loved the fresh scents and smells of the shower cream. It was hydrating to my dry skin and it is definitely something I would purchase again. I also think the 8-piece set is a great gift item. If Perlier can figure out a way to eliminate the Parabens from their body creams, I would give this a double thumbs-up.

Cost: $19.95

Where Is It Sold?:  HSN--which you know I adore. In fact, Perlier is offering my readers a $5 discount code. Click on this link here and then add the code "ifabbo5" at checkout.
