Amanda, I am 61 years old and have very sensitive skin. I was afraid to change my beauty regime. When you were on air last time, you were so adamant about the results from using Risarium that I had to give it a try. You were soooo right about the products! The very next morning I noticed that my skin felt like velvet. My skin felt firmer and looked glowing. I immediately ordered a larger tube of eye cream and the double night cream. I am so happy you came up with this line of beauty product

Good Evening Skip & Amanda , Your products are so wonderful, I have started my daughter on them & she in awe. You do not put any petrolum in any of your products do you? I was amazed to learn that other companys do. I can not use any thing with that in it. I hope you can let me know, Thank you

Hi Amanda & Skip I have watched you for years on television and after taking a few trips to Italy, I was wondering if it were possible to visit your gardens. I love your products and have been using them for many years. Are there tours available there? Please any info would be greatly appreciated as we are coming back to wonderful Italy in July of this year. Fran

I live in San Francisco and have been buying the Perlier Honey starting at Saks, then Bloomingdales and finally here. Why do you continue to display the super large bottles on the air and when I try to order them they are not available. I see another customer states the same thing. And I also can tell a difference in the fragrance between the original Honey and the new organic Honey. I prefer the scent of the original and the scent stays longer. Please bring back the original Honey!

Hi Amanda & Skip! Am ordering your P.Honey after bath spray,& Silk Oil (for my personal know- ledge of honeys healing qualities- the longer it's on skin the better!). I'd love to see both w/ lavender & chamomile, & your specialties of course, for bedtime/stresstime! Also a linen spray with same calming fragrences...zzzz! WE are a very stressed-out nation, unlike your beautiful romantic country, so can use all the help we can get! You are helping though! Felis Navidad!... is that Italian?

Hi! Check my history out,I'm a nurse & looong time follower!A while back I ordered a Honey Miel duo autoship item because the flavor(s) I preferred were gone and it was my under= standing that I could change the flavor when it was available. HSN has not been able to do this for me so thought I'd go to thee source of all knowledge & capabilities! I really wanted the Honey Chamomile as my top choice! Can you help me out here?Please?!I really don't want to cancel it. Some docs use honey on bedsores

Hi! It's about Neutralene, your unscented bath products. I used them a while ago, and they were great. Only problem, they didn't come as a set. Do you think this will happen in the future? I'm allergic to certain flavors, except for the unscented, olive oil and the original scent of shea butter (I especially love the body butter.) Thanks and please see what you can do about the Neutralene.

i agree with the others regarding the shipping and handling fees. we missed out on the days of free shipping for this last show. if you order more than one item in the same day, they ship it all in the same box anyway and still charge you more for shipping than it actually cost to mail it. there is no need to charge that much to ship one box. how about giving us a day of free shipping on all ibb this visit.

Regarding shipping--actually packaging: Why can't HSN use the immediately biodegrading peanuts (made of corn byproducts, I think)? Those styrofoam ones will still be in the landfills, etc., way on down the road when the sun turns into a black hole. (Not everyone recycles these things, you know). Think about doing this, please.

My first purchase from IBB was the Oatmeal, Honey and Coriander-hand cream, shower gel and hydrating body cream. Just wanted to let you know, I can't live without it! I also purchased the Neutraline at the same time, just using the hydrating body cream on elbows, feet, etc. When the Neutraline ran out because I got it for my hubby too, the hydrating body cream became essential to my dry skin. Please, more of that hydrating cream and hand lotion. Thanks for giving me a cream I LOVE, LOVE.

Catherine in NJ, your daily posts on the loveliness of IBB are bordering on stalkerism. HSN please consider limiting posts by individuals to 1 or 2 a month. We want to hear suggestions, not just hero worship on these blogs. It was great to see the classic products featured; unfortunately it seems no one is ready to pay unreasonably shipping costs for them. It was a nice try. PLEASE CHANGE THE BODY CREAMS TO THE MOUSSE formula, but leave the treatment and soft butters as is.

I must agree on the S&H charges. I get very excited about a new product or reordering my favorites, but this increase has to go. How about you order 1 item and then pay NOTHING for the rest of your order on that particular day. It is just a thought, but I too am on a fixed income and that really hurts the pocketbook. I agree with the one blogger who said that to return an item is much cheaper via the PO. $6.95 charged for returning an item - and only $4.95 to send it originally.

Paula, you will find the Strawberry mousse has a different texture than Milk & Fruit Apricot because there are different ingredients. Changing to mousse would ruin Avocado and Lemongrass. Those of us who love the nuances of different body creams would be devastated if our favorites became body mousse.

I must put my 2 cents worth in about the mousses. I love them, but I don't want every flavor converted. Mousses are great for summer because they are not as heavy, and I can't imagine that shea butter would even come close to being the same in a mousse version! It's perfect!

How predictably boring to have all Body Creams the same formulation, Mousse. While I like the mousse, it would ruin White Almond and many of the Classics.

Changing them over to Mousse would be a mistake as was discontinuing Cucumber Mint! Thanks for listening! MJK

Old & wise saying: Don't fix what's not broken. Please keep your Original Honey line available and make your organic line AN ADDITION TO THAT. Judging from reviews of this new honey line vs original, organic receives less enthusiasm for a whole host of reasons. Just like ethanol is not everything it's cracked up to be, neither is pure organic just for the sake of being organic. The old favorite remains the cherished AND THE BEST!

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!! 05/02/2008
I put four of the newly listed organic honey soap bars in my shopping cart, and when I got to checkout, the shipping was almost $18.00! Guess what happened to checkout? Yep, you're right, I didn't check out. The 4 soap bars were $22.00--shipping $18.00--total $40.00!!!!!!!! Outrageous!!!!!!

The Milk & Strawberry hand cream gives me a bit of that silicone glove cream feeling. Like a coating on my hands. Makes them soft, but don't know if I like that feeling.

Mousse Review 05/02/2008
I loved the texture of the mousse, but after giving it a few tries, I still like the body cream or whipped body cream better. It just gives your skin more of that like glass glide. The mousse makes your skin soft, but makes me feel like I have a very thin coating of wax over my skin. Does anyone else feel this? Like it's sitting on top of my skin, not part of it. So please keep making body cream and don't switch everything to this mousse.

So glad others are writing in for Grapefruit body moisturizer. Personally I'd prefer the texture of a more traditional Perlier body cream (such as Olivarium, White almond) for this particular scent but as long as it has the same exact scent as Grapefruit Foam Bath and is highly moisturizing I'll be thrilled!! For now I use Lime lotion with Grapefruit. Great scent and good combo but not nearly moisturizing enough! THANKS

First time trying your product. Bought the Perlier Milk & Fruit Kit- Strawberry and Elariia Gardenia flower pot set. Love the product and smell but the FRAGRANCE doesn't last no more than a few minutes. Can you make it so that the fragrance last ALL day!!! Was sooooooo disappointed when I put it on and in a few minutes you could not smell anything..the fragrance was gone. Please make the fragrance last longer.

It isn't possible that the cost ($7.95) to ship a small bottle of Pomegranate lotion is more than the cost ($5.95) to ship a 4 pc set including that exact bottle of lotion as 1 of 4 pieces!

Also in was unfair that the last month's buy one get the rest of your beauty items shipped free promotion was NOT during the last IBB visit. A lot of the IBB's newer items were not available or posted online until the free shipping promotion ended.

Please maintain the individuality of your body cream formulas. Please DO NOT change 400 of the body creams all over to the mousse formula. The mousse has it's place but, replacing all of your other body cream formulas would obliterate the individuality of your scents and make your company a snooze to buy from. Most drugstore brands make all their formulas the exact same texture and just change the scent. IBB has set a higher standard and I would like to see that standard maintained.
