HYD for Men Shave Cream Review

Hello Lovelies!



Some of you may be wondering why I decided to do a review on a men's skincare line, well I chose to review the products from HYD for men, because not only did I receive the products from iFabbo, but I love getting my boyfriend involved and we are always looking for products that work well for him. I am going to be breaking down the review of the HYD for men skincare products into four different posts so that I can give you guys a thorough review of each product, starting today with the HYD for men shaving cream.
Aaron's skin at neatly its worst.  
For starters let me introduce you to my boyfriend, his name is Aaron. Aaron is not the typical man and he does pay a little more attention to his skincare, but he doesn’t have a lot of time to dedicate to using products. Aaron also is a little different than the typical man because he suffers from psoriasis on his face and scalp, which means he has very dry, irritated, sensitive skin, which makes it a little harder to choose products that work for him. When it comes to shaving cream he has tried a couple different brands, but nothing has made much of a difference for him so he had settled on using Barbasol Brand Shave Cream with aloe paired with his Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor, which gets the job done, but he is always struggling with ingrown hairs. Now that you guys know what Aaron has to deal with, and you guys kind of understand how difficult it is to find a quality product that also happens to be in our budget I am going to just go ahead and move on to what Aaron told me he thinks about the product.
The first time he used the HYD for men shaving cream I stood in the bathroom with him and watched him open the package, listened to his thoughts, and continued to watch him shave so I could fully take in his initial reaction to the shave cream. First thing he looked at was the packaging, Aaron is a graphic designer so nice packaging always stands out to him, and we both loved how manly and simple the design is. Aaron didn’t really read what is on the box itself, just like most men, but I skimmed through and loved the fact that the shave cream is infused with oils to help moisturize, it is paraben free, and they do not test on animals, which is definitely a plus.
So Aaron went ahead and wet his face with warm water like the directions state, lathered and applied the shave cream and quickly noticed that this particular shave cream felt like nothing he has ever tried before, because it has the consistency of a lotion. Before he begun shaving he also noticed that the shave cream has a pleasant and rejuvenating light citrus scent, and that scent does linger even when the face is shaved and dried, and I absolutely loved it. Aaron continued to shave in his typical manner and when he was done revealed a smooth cleanly shaven face. Normally when Aaron is done shaving his skin looks red and pretty irritated because of the ingrown hairs, but this time it was just a tiny bit red, and looked 20x better than normal.
Aaron's skin about a week in, as you can see there is less redness, and irritation.
Aaron's skin a couple days ago, pretty much no redness or irritation. (This was taken during a video shoot.)

Aaron has been using the shave cream paired with the three other products from HYD for men for about a month now and absolutely loves them. I have noticed quite the difference in his skin, and it seems to be much more hydrated, and less irritated than normal, which makes us both happy.
A lot of times when I receive products to test we use them up if we like them, but never purchase again because typically the products are quite expensive, but this shave cream from HYD for men is only $12.99, which means we will definitely be ordering this when he is done with this package.

I also happen to have a coupon code for my lovely followers to get 20% off of your first purchase at HYD For Men, just enter SAVE20 in the coupon code section of the cart before purchase.
Next up is my thorough review of the HYD for men Buffer Stick, which is also quite amazing, so stay tuned!

Perlier Lemon Sorbet Crackling Ice Body Water Review

Hello Lovelies!
 
Today I bring you a review of Perlier's Crackling Ice Body Water thanks to Ifabbo. This product is unlike anything I have ever seen, and as soon as I opened the package and checked out the product I had a million questions run through my mind.
 
The first thing I noticed was the design of the container, I know some people don't care what products containers look like, but I do, it helps me decide if I want to try a product in the first place. The container for the crackling icy body water makes the product appear fresh, and fancy, and makes me even more excited to test it out. Before Ifabbo nicely sent me this I had never heard of Perlier and now after seeing this I feel like I would like to try more products from them.
 
At this point you may be wondering what exactly is crackling ice body water? Is it a food? Is it a drink? What is it? I was wondering the exact same thing so after my first glance at the container I read through all the information (well the info that was in English) to attempt to figure out what exactly I was suppose to do with it. Unfortunately I believe the container doesn't give adequate directions, although Perlier was very good at making the product desirable.

 This is the exact words that the English description states:
 
Sparkling and crispy like a fruit sorbet. It moisturizes and refreshes in one step and turns your skin pleasantly smooth and scented. Ideal in the morning for a splash of "freezing" energy or at night to remove tiredness and the heat of the day. Not a food product. For adult use only.
 
After a little research I found out that Perlier is a well known Italian company that creates bath and body products. The company prides itself on using natural products and their on-going commitment to research.
 
Even after doing a little research I wasn't 100% sure how exactly you are suppose to use the product so I decided to just squirt a bit on my arm and see what happens, and now I understand what the crackling description comes from. Here is a video to demonstrate...
 

 
As it crackles it feels very refreshing and cold, and slightly tingly, but I noticed that it doesn't really absorb on it's own so I decided to rub it in. After the crackling stopped and it was rubbed in it left my skin feeling cool, soft, and lemon scented. Although I am not a fan of the scent of lemon, this scent is quite refreshing.
 
Overall this product was quite exciting, and is definitely refreshing. If you would like to try some out on your own you can find it here on HSN.
 
I also have this lovely coupon code to get $5 off your Perlier purchase on HSN's website:
