Perfectly Posh Product Review: Girl Crush Skin Joy Body Butter

This catalog transition, the body butters got a facelift! Posh kept the two base formulas and changed it up a bit. They added a foil vacuum seal, which allowed us to reduce the number of natural preservatives used. 
 
Girl Crush is the shea butter base formula, which is the thicker of the two. As you can see in the photo, it is very thick and creamy! The amount I have on my finger here was enough to cover both arms! This is going to be fabulous this winter when my skin gets dried out!
 
The scent is amazing. It's described as "a blend of apricot, orange, and a tart cranberry twist." I can't detect much of the cranberry, but the blend of apricot and orange is divine.
 
After putting this on my arms to check out the scent and feel, I have to say this is pretty awesome. My skin is nice and hydrated. I don't feel greasy at all! Like all the other Posh products, this body butter soaks right into the skin, rather than sitting on top of it like an oil slick.

Perfectly Posh Product Review: Orange Cara-Mellow lip scrub


I love our lip scrubs, especially in winter. To me, they are exfoliating lip balms. You put a small amount on your lips, and rub your lips together. The granules of sugar remove dead skin, allowing the balm to penetrate deep to moisturize and nourish. Licking the excess sugar off is the best part!

Lip scrubs combine sugar granules with shea butter, sweet almond oil, beeswax, honey, cocoa butter, macadamia seed oil, coconut oil, and jojoba oil to nourish lips.

The lip scrubs this fall/winter are smaller than before, and the oval shaped tin is easy to open. The previous tins were occasionally very difficult to open.

The Orange Cara-Mellow lip scrub tastes exactly as you would think it would. Orange with a hint of caramel. I actually really like it. I thought it would be an odd flavor combination, but it's not! In the tin, I smell more caramel, but taste more orange.

There is also a Snowed In lip scrub this fall/winter, which is a nice vanilla-mint flavor. I will definitely be getting that one this winter!

Perfectly Posh Product Review: Dressed to Chill BFYHC


As you may recall from earlier posts, I am obsessed with the Big Fat Yummy Hand Crèmes. Obsessed might be an understatement, as I currently have 14 different ones sitting here on my desk. Yes, fourteen.

Dressed to Chill is the most recent addition to my collection, and I'm in love once again! They have reformulated the lotion a little bit - they altered the packaging so that they could use less preservatives. This new formula, to me, is awesome because you need EVEN LESS product, and it still absorbs right in to the skin, without leaving hands feeling greasy. In fact, now my hands have an almost powdery  feeling to them!

This BFYHC has coconut oil in addition to the apricot kernel oil the others have. The scent is amazing. It's a nice, light cranberry orange. It's described as "a wintery sweet cranberry orange," and I think that's the perfect description!

As with all other BFYHC, there is no coloring added, so the lotion is white in color. This is also vegan, and flight friendly! There are two types of BFYHC (in my opinion): one is thick, like the Lil Snarky; one is on the thinner side. This one is the thinner type, if that matters to you. I know some people prefer the thicker ones! Me? I don't care. I love them all!

Come back next week for a review of the Orange Cara-Mellow sugar lip scrub!

Perfectly Posh new products!

My transition kit is here! I got the Dressed to Chill Big Fat Yummy Hand Crème, Raspberry Beret Snarky Bar, Sugar Mama body scrub, I Love You a Whole Brunch {Chunk} soap, Immunator Skin Stick, Orange Cara-Mellow lip scrub, Giving Me Life face mask, and samples of the I'm Turning Blueberry face mask, and Boho Soul Big Fat Yummy Hand Crème.

I'm so excited to try everything, but I'm going to review ONE product at a time. This is going to take some SERIOUS willpower!!!! 

I'm a face mask junkie, so I'm going to start with the Giving Me Life tightening and brightening face mask. This mask is packed with awesome ingredients like Kaolin, Bentonite (clay), and Tea Tree oil to deep clean, Glycerin to exfoliate and hydrate.

There is no added fragrance, so the mask has an earthy scent, similar to clay. It is white, and is nice and thick. With all Posh face masks now in tube form, they are much easier to apply. (And they'll take up a lot less room!)

Unlike other Posh masks which contain kaolin, this mask did not tingle at all while I wore it. It was a very pleasant experience! I left it on for 5 minutes, but I could have left it on for up to 10 minutes. I did not notice any redness after using this mask, which was interesting because most masks make me red for a little while after using them. As always, I made sure to moisturize after I washed the mask off.

Come back next week for a review of the Dressed to Chill BFYHC!

Micellar cleansers

There's a popular cleanser making the rounds, which are called micellar cleansers, or micellar cleansing waters. Micellar water is made up of micelles (tiny balls of cleansing oil molecules) suspended in soft water. Micelles are attracted to dirt and oil, so they are able to draw out impurities without drying out the skin. So what you have, essentially is a cleanser and moisturizer in one. No rubbing or scrubbing. No water needed!

Perfectly Posh has a Micellar Toner that they are offering to brand new Consultants who join between August 1st and August 31st. This is an exclusive product not available for purchase!

As a Posh consultant, you never pay for your website, and you get paid weekly! The starter kit is $99 for over $250 in products, as well as business supplies like catalogs and order forms. You also get a cute Posh Consultant tee and tote!

There is a great 30/60/90 day training program and incentive through your back office where you can earn up to $360 in Perk Points to use towards business supplies or product, as well as personalized labels, business cards, and even a car cling!
