Body Butter: c/o Perlier Imperial Honey

Perlier “Imperial Honey” is a new body butter product from Italian beauty brand Perlier. The body butter is made from the rare honey of black bees and combined with royal jelly. It is considered to be a “youth-elixir.”

I tested out Perlier’s “Imperial Honey” body butter for one week. This time of year my skin tends to get dry from the heater and the dry weather we typically have in the fall months. Perleir’s “Imperial Honey” body butter was a welcome test for my dry skin. I love how it quickly nourished my skin and left it feeling anything but dry!

Body creams, lotions and butters with a scent are my favorite to use. I have a bit of a fragrance addiction 🙂 I love the warm fragrance experience from Perlier’s “Imperial Honey” body butter. There were fragrance notes of honey, woods and soft spices which carried me throughout the day. The scent was easy to blend with warm fragrances such as Dolce & Gabbana “Desire the one” and Van Cleef & Arpel’s “Precious Oud.”

The verdict? Five out of five stars!

Perlier’s “Imperial Honey” body butter is priced at $40 and can be found online here. Use coupon code iFABBO5 and save $5 on your order! Love that!

Nail Polish c/o Dolce & Gabbana “Nude”  one base coat, two coats of color. No top coat.

Dolce & Gabbana “Nude” nail polish is a pale, peachy color which is the perfect alternative to naturally nude nails. In the current world of fashion; prints, textures and competing colors are all the rage. Due to this fact, it can be challenging to find the right nail color to take you from the office to dinner to a special event. In fact, it can be challenging to find a nail color which works with every outfit you wear for an entire week!

Thankfully Dolce & Gabbana’s “Nude” nail polish is the perfect, classic answer to the nail color dilemma. The pale nude hue matches every color and print imaginable. The soft color is close to the shade of natural nails; making Dolce & Gabbana “Nude” the perfect alternative to wearing nothing on your nails at all! I always say, you never look finished or polished unless your nails are done, so Dolce & Gabbana “Nude” is the perfect way to have natural yet finished nails. Love it!

I love the shine and peachy hue of Dolce & Gabbana’s “Nude” nail polish. I know this nail polish will be perfect for travelling (since no-one wants to fiddle with changing their nail color while on vacation or a work trip!) and it will also be perfect for the resort season. Nude nails look amazing with a tan! Now all I need is an actual resort vacation for the fashion season. 😉

Dolce & Gabbana “Nude” nail polish is priced at $24 and can be found online here and here.

 Chanel Rose Moire nail polish is a late fall 2013, limited edition color release from Chanel. This beautiful nail polish is a sweet, shiny ballerina pink which is perfect for transitioning from fall into winter. Chanel Rose Moire nail polish is also a fabulous color to be worn as an alternative to classic “nude.”

Chanel Rose Moire nail polish for fall 2013 is a pretty pink which blends well with autumnal hues such as burgundy, dark green, navy, black and neutral shades. The classic pink hue does not compete with fall 2013’s prints, patterns or textures. Rose Moire by Chanel is understated and blends into the background; making it the perfect color for someone who is enjoys wearing a different color palette and/or print each and every autumn day.

As we move into winter 2014, Chanel Rose Moire nail polish will blend easily with winter’s cooler color palette. Candy colors, pastels and holiday reds are on the horizon for the winter 2014 season; as well as sparkling and metallic hues. Rose Moire by Chanel’s pastel pink nature makes the hue easy to wear with all of winter 2014’s colors; in fact, Rose Moire will also work with resort 2014! Love that!

Resort 2014 will feature a combination of soft pastels and bright colors including cobalt, orange and yellow. Rose Moire by Chanel will easily blend with all of these shades. Since Chanel Rose Moire is a classic nail polish color, it will be easy to wear as we move from 2013 into 2014. This is also a beautiful nail polish color to keep on hand as a classic hue for occasions and times when you may not feel like being trendy.

I tested Chanel Rose Moire with one base coat and two coats of color. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping. When it began to chip, it chipped quickly and needed to be repainted. The polish may have lasted longer with a top coat.

Chanel Rose Moire nail polish is limited edition and priced at $27. You can find Chanel Rose Moire nail polish online here.
