I love trying out new beauty products. I think that is a “weakness” of mine. I’ll never pass up the opportunity to try out new products. In fact, many of the products I use on a regular basis were once products I received to review. I loved them so much that I purchased them again (and again…).
When I was younger I honestly didn’t give much thought to my skin and keeping it healthy. I even went out without sunscreen on – something I would NEVER do nowadays. Because of my lack of care with my skin I am dealing with issues now such as wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots. I know these things come with age, but I know people OLDER than me with less wrinkles. Sigh… If only I took care of my skin sooner.
Are you familiar with the brand L’BRI Pure n’ Natural? L’BRI is derived from the names Linda and Brian, founders of L’BRI Pure n’ Natural.
L’BRI is a line of aloe based products that natural, safe to use, effective and affordable. I’m not too sold on the “affordable” part. Their products are a bit out of my price range – but – compared to other “designer label” beauty products, L’BRI is certainly more affordable than those.
L’BRI was kind enough to send me a nice assortment of product to try out. Here is what I received to review and my thoughts about each of the products.
Aloe Nourishing Shampoo & Conditioner
Formulated with a unique blend of aloe, botanicals, proteins and amino acids, Provitamin B5 and natural extracts of willow bark, nettle and vitamin E to rebuild worn and damaged hair. The shampoo helps to remove buildup from hair styling products and environmental damage while the conditioner protects the hair shaft from blow drying and styling. Aloe Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner do not contain sodium lauryl sulfate or parabens. Suitable for all hair types and safe for color-treated hair.
I really like the shampoo. I like how well it rinses from my hair. I have thick, course hair and sometimes rinsing out shampoo and/or conditioner is a huge chore. This shampoo rinses out well.
Combined I like how the shampoo and conditioner makes my hair feel. It feels soft to the touch and it looks healthy and shiny.
The conditioner does not help with knots. I’ve noticed that I get more knots than usual, but once I comb them out everything looks and feels good.
Gentle Cleanser
For normal or dry skin. A mild, creamy Aloe Vera based cleansing lotion leaves skin feeling clean, supple and soft.
Daily cleanser that gently lifts away all traces of makeup, pore-clogging oils and environmental pollutants. Easily removes eye makeup without irritation.
I LOVE this cleanser! It’s perfect for me and my skin.
I really dislike it when cleanser leaves my face feeling dry, sticky or really taut.
This cleanser leaves your face not only clean, but also moisturized. I feel like I don’t need an extra moisturizer. I do add one, but I think I could get away without any. This cleanser does it all.
Gentle Moisture Lotion
For normal and dry skin. A nourishing, hydrating lotion that replenishes and protects the skin against moisture loss, and minimizes the appearance of fine lines.
This is the perfect follow up to the Gentle Cleanser. The lotion makes my skin feel oh-so-soft and it doesn’t weight it down like other moisturizers tend to do. It absorbs quickly without leaving your skin feeling greasy or sticky.
Daily Cleansing Liquid Hand Soap
This unique formula thoroughly, yet gently, cleans your hands leaving them feeling silky and smooth. Your hands will feel soft and nourished without leaving any sticky residue on your delicate skin. After washing hands, follow with L’BRI Daily Moisturizing Hand & Body Lotion for complete hand care.
I wash my hands a lot – and I do mean A LOT. I work with children and I have to wash my hands frequently to protect not only my health, but their health too (not to mention the health of my family). Many soaps can be very drying to the skin, which is why I find it necessary to moisturize my hands just as often as I wash them.
The Daily Cleansing Liquid Hand Soap from L’BRI washes and rinses well and does not leave my skin feeling dry, sticky or greasy. I do follow up with a moisturizer (out of habit). If I forget to, or don’t have time, it’s OK because this soap does not dry out my skin.
Facial Masque
Versatile product recommended for all skin types. Tightens, tones, aids in clearing blemishes, and helps to exfoliates dead skin cells.
Enjoy tightened and toned skin while minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. As the masque tightens it clears dead skin cells and restores the skin’s natural smoothness. An excellent addition to the skin care routine for those with dry, blemished skin by leaving on overnight to spot treat blemishes, drawing out impurities in the pores.
This is a nice masque. It does tighten the skin without making it feel dry or too tight. It defiantly does tone the skin, but I’m not sure about wrinkles (I haven’t noticed much of a difference on them).
My skin feels super fresh and clean after I remove the masque. I use it 2-3 times per week at night after I wash my face. It makes my skin feel like I just stepped out of the shower. I love that fresh, clean feeling.
I can’t comment on blemishes because I haven’t had one in a very long time (thankfully).
Intense Body Butter (Cucumber)
An intense body cream with exceptional ingredients that work together to restore softness, hydration and elasticity to even the driest skin. Light, clean Cucumber scent.
L’BRI body butter is formulated with aloe, mango seed butter, grape seed extract, and Shea butter along with Japanese green tea, cocoa seed butter, evening primrose oil, and vitamins A, E and C. Apply after bathing with L’BRI Body Wash for complete body care.
I LOVE this body butter! Love it! Love it! LOVE IT!!! I use it every time I step out of the shower, as well as throughout the day to “spot” moisturize areas like my elbows and hands. This is a fabulous all over body butter.
I have the cucumber variety. I don’t necessarily think it smells like a cucumber, but it does have a very fresh, clean scent to it.
This stuff is amazing and probably one of my most favorite products from L’BRI. With the winter months fast approaching I’ll need this stuff by the gallon. LOL!
Body Wash (Cucumber)
Gently cleanse away impurities and pamper your skin with vitamins, botanicals and softening moisturizers.
Our body wash is sulfate free, and is so safe it can be used even on the delicate sensitive skin of babies. Features a fresh, light and clean Cucumber scent.
This is a great all over body wash (I wouldn’t recommend your face). Even my son and husband have used this body wash, so its “OK” for men too. It has a fresh, clean scent (not a “girly” scent).
*Both the body butter and body wash are available in different scents.
Rejuvenating Facial Peel
A unique exfoliator, made with natural fruit enzymes of green papaya, calming pineapple, and stabilized Aloe Vera gel.
Rejuvenating Facial Peel work to dissolve dead skin cell naturally without acids. Helps to dramatically improve skin tone, clarity and texture for a healthy, vibrant complexion. Excellent for all skin types including those with rosacea, sensitive and acne-prone skin.
I was reluctant to try this product at first. I have sensitive skin and I have used peels in the past that have made my face look red as a tomato. To be on the safe side I only applied this to a small area of my face the first few times I used it. My face did get a little red, but not that bad, and the redness dissipated quickly enough.
My skin does look and feel really nice once I remove the product from my skin. Just like with the masque, the peel makes my skin feel fresh and clean. I guess you can say my skin tone looks a bit better. It doesn’t look as drab and “washed out” as it normally does.
Smooth n’ Firm Eye Repair Gel
Dramatically reduce puffy eyes while enhancing skin elasticity and smoothness.
Our clinically proven formula contains a superior anti-aging tetrapeptide which works to dramatically reduce puffy eyes while enhancing skin elasticity and smoothness. In addition, we have added our own proprietary blend of active botanicals that work to reduce dark circles and wrinkles, improve microcirculation and strengthen the skin’s collagen and elastin while reducing the presence of free radicals. Safe for even the most sensitive of eyes.
So far I haven’t noticed too much of a difference since using this product. It does feel very soothing and refreshing to the eye area. I do like that feeling.
I have not had any reactions to it as far as my sensitive skin is concerned, so that is a good thing.
I still see wrinkles and dark circles under my eyes, but I think the puffiness has been reduced (I don’t sleep well at night so I look a wreck in the morning).
I like how it feels on my skin and it’s a part of my routine now so I’ll continue to use it. Maybe in a little more time I’ll notice a difference.
I may be missing a product or two in this review. The brand sent me A LOT of products and they are all over my bathroom closet. Things get moved around (compliments of my kids), so I might have misplaced something in the shuffle.
Overall I am extremely pleased with the L’BRI products I received to review. I especially love that they are better for you than other products on the market that are made from hard to pronounce (and understand) ingredients and chemicals.
A few of these products are now personal favorites of mine and I plan on purchasing them again (and again) when what I currently have is used up.
