Beauty By Kendra C: Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter Review

I am a girl who is completely obsessed with anything that smells or tastes like honey. I think in another life I might have been a honey bee. There are very few beauty products on the market that can actual capture that succulent sweet scent correctly and I am always up for trying a new product that mentions honey in any way. So when I had the opportunity to try the *Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter there was zero hesitation. Bring on the honey!

A little background on this product before I dive into my review. This body butter is made from the rare honey of Black Bees and is combined with Royal Jelly. Now I bet you are asking what is Royal Jelly? I know I did and after doing some research found out that it is a honey bee secretion and is used in the nutrition of larvae. Doesn't sound very appetizing, but it has been shown to reduce signs of aging and has been used medically to boost the immune system. [According to webmd.com]

On to the review. I have to say after using this product over the past couple of weeks I am completely in love. I am a huge fan of body butter to start with because of my insanely dry skin. I find that they provide a better solution then the typical body lotion. What I love about this body butter in particular is that it is super hydrating, but the formula is very light and doesn't leave me feeling greasy and my skin literally drinks this up and I have noticed a huge change in the texture of my skin. It is baby soft.

I love the scent of this body butter probably more then any other body butter I have tried! EVER! The scent is described as Honey and Oriental woods and when I first saw honey I thought ok I have experienced a honey scent before. No I have not. Not like this. It smells as though you have opened a fresh jar of raw honey. You could almost eat it- although it does a have a beautiful musky bottom note. Which I would assume is the Oriental woods. This product has a sweet warm scent that is perfect for this time of year. I have received many compliments and many people asking what I am wearing. The other point to make about this body butter is the fact that the scent lasts all day! At the end of the day it smells as if I just put it on- which I love because it is such an amazing fragrance and that almost never happens with a body butter.

I must compliment this product on the packaging too! If you read my blog you know that I am a packaging junkie. I love the gold and white jar- it adds to the luxury of this product. I have used a *body scrub by Perlier before and I think that they do a really nice job of their product packaging and the overall presentation of their products. You can check out my review here.

All in all I think that this is a definite must have for the winter months. If you are looking for a luxurious body butter that will hydrate and improve the overall texture of your skin then this is your solution. Plus there is that whole it smells exactly like honey thing.

The Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter is 6.7oz and runs about $40.00- which is on the high end of body butters, but would make for a great Christmas gift for someone special. My readers can save $5.00 using the coupon code iFabbo5 when you pick it up here: http://bit.ly/GT2CdC
