Review:

This product is supposed to be” A perfect styling product for feathery fine straight to medium wavy tresses. ”

So obviously I do not fall into this category, but I enjoy light stylers from time to time so I went for it.  This has an extremely light hold for me. It was more like putting on a heavy leave in conditioner than a styler. It tamed my frizz some, but not great.

It did provide some moisture to my hair however, something I really wasn’t expecting. I like this a lot for twists…it aids in definition without leaving the hair hard the way a gel would. When I say “aids” I mean, not a whole lot, so I wouldn’t expect miracles if you normally use a gel.

Of course the smell is almost enough to make me want to use it just for that.

Will I buy this again? Probably not.

Review:

This shampoo bar from KBB comes in two forumulations: Juicy and Charm. For drier hair, Juicy is recommended. For oilier hair, there is Charm. Of course I went with the Juicy. I won’t be trying Charm( if anyone out there has and wants to provide a review, let me know via email).

I’m not generally a big fan of shampoo bars. I hate lathering them up, I much prefer to just pour whatever I need into my hand or scoop it out of a jar. However, I do have to say it lathered up easier than I thought it would. I imagine that this would last long as it didn’t take much for the 2 times that I used it.

This  is not  a product like,  say the Amla Rinse from Hairveda. It does not  leave as much moisture. Though, the Amla Rinse is not super cleansing. The shampoo bar leaves the hair feeling clean but not devestated (that’s the only word I could think of to describe how my hair feels after a shampooing LOL) like with a hard core shampoo. I like it and I think I will keep it in my rotation. It’s not something I feel I can’t live without like a lot of the other KBB products, though.

Price: 16.00 8 oz

Consistency: Buttery, solid at room temperature but easily malleable

Scent: Many to choose from

Purchased from: Karen’s Body Beautiful

Review:

Am I ever going to run into a KBB product that I don’t like? Doesn’t look like it anytime soon.

This butter absolutely melted into my hair once applied and left it incredibly moisturized. I used it on my edges which can get dry sometimes, especially when in a bun, and this was the cure!

I also used it on twists and they came out very nice. I do warn that not much is needed to get the desired effects. I went a little overboard at some point and ended up with some greasiness, but I tend to be heavyhanded at the best of times.

The KBB website says this works best on dry hair. I do prefer it on dry hair, though it wasn’t bad on wet hair, just a bit much.  It’s got all the good butters in it, especially shea butter, my fav. And aloe butter? Never seen that before. I will have to do some checking

Anyway, KBB once again has earned my love for this product.

Product Name: Body Splash

Price: $14.00 80z

Consistency: Liquid

Ingredients: Purified Water, SD Alcohol, Aloe Vera, Fragrance and/or Essential Oils, Natural Enzymes

Scent: Many to choose from

Ordered from: Karen’s Body Beautiful

Review:

I think a lot of KBB users have a favorite scent. I know I do! So after ordering many different hair products and the lotion of the same scent, I ordered this. I use it if I am in a hurry and don’t have time to put my KBB lotion on or if I used it that morning or the night before and the scent has kind of faded. I don’t know if I will be reordering this again. Really, you could do the same thing to make you own body splash by using water and a few drops of essential oil.

If you are interested in it, here are all of the scents to choose from:

• Chamomile Sage
• Cocoa Lime
• Cranberry Cocktail
• Creamy Cocoa Mango
• Egyptian Musk
• Hibiscus
• Honey Oatmeal
• Lavender Vanilla
• Luscious Pear
• Pomegranate Guava
• Sultry Sandalwood (my fav!)
• Vanilla Latte
• White Tea

Product Name: Olive Oil Body Lotion

Company Name: Karen’s Body Beautiful

Scent: Choose from many

Price: 12.00 8.5 oz

Ingredients: Purified Water, Olive Oil, Aloe Vera, Vegetable Glycerin, Vegetable Wax, Fragrance Oil, Vitamin E & Natural Enzymes

Review:

Love, love, love this lotion. Especially the scent of sultry sandlewood. In fact, though the lotion leaves my skin sooo soft, the scent isn’t overpowering like a lot of lotions. However, I can smell it lightly and I get compliments all day on my “perfume”.

It’s a little too much for my face, but my body loves it!

Will I buy this again? Yes, I’ll keep it in my rotation.
