Recently I had the opportunity to receive some lovely products from Belle Butters to review. As you all know, I am a huge supporter of my fellow entrepreneurs and I cannot say no to YUMMY HAIR PRODUCTS that are made naturally! Yes, I know, I need self control. I was browsing Belle Butters site when I saw a few things I wanted to try. I tweeted the owner to see what she recommended, I was overwhelmed (in a good way) by all the choices I had in front of me. When I noticed she sold a face product that targeted oily skin, I knew I had to inquire about it. I ended up receiving the Shea and Matcha Green Tea Butter along with the Neutralizing Butter for Oil Skin. The quality of the butters are great and the owner was kind enough to send me full sized products, so I will have them for quite a while. Click the jump for the full review.
Shea and Match Green Tea Butter
Ingredients: Unrefined Shea butter, Matcha Green Tea butter, Avocado oil, Rosemary oil
My experience: When I first opened the jar I was expecting something soft and fluffy, instead I was greeted with a solid and firm butter. Honestly, I preferred that better than something super soft because I like emulsifying my butters in my hands to get them the texture I like. Over the past week or so the product has softened a lot and is now the perfect texture without me having to work it in my hands. I'd describe the butter as thick, smooth and easy to apply to my strands and body.
How I used it: I have been using this butter to seal or unravel my twists. After bathing Char and I have really liked using it on our bodies. It works great for her itchy eczema prone skin but it isn't too heavy where we feel like our skin is coated with something.
Overall: This product has been working well for me and CharBaby. I love the fact that I can use it on my hair and skin with no worries of clogged pores or heavy residue. When using this butter to take down my twists it adds shine to my strands and control frizz.
Neutralizing Butter for Oily Skin, $12/4oz
Ingredients: refined avocado butter, blueberry butter, activated charcoal powder, grapeseed oil, aloe vera gel, lavender oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E
My Experience: When I first saw this product online I was praying that it would work for me. Sadly it didn't and I know it's because my skin is just a pain in the hind parts. I have very oily skin and the older I get, the oilier my face gets. I have been holding off on going to the dermatologist but I think it's time for me to make a visit. This product has some amazing ingredients and comes with a step by step note on how to use it. I followed the directions and have used the product 3x. For some reason my skin just doesn't react well to it, my face became even more oily as the day went after using this butter.
Overall: The product didn't work for me but I plan on trying it a few more times to see if I experience any change but I am pretty sure my skin is just being stubborn and won't my results will be the same. If anything should change I will come back with an update!
