Perfectly Posh Fall/Winter catalog is coming!

Posh comes out with a new catalog twice a year, in February and in July. Posh likes to keep things
seasonal! In July, it's HOT! It's time to start thinking of cooler days, so we transition into fall/winter scents. And in February, it's high time we start thinking spring, so we transition back into the more spring/summery scents.

The new Fall/Winter catalog is being revealed on Friday night around 9pm EST! Follow @perfectly_posh on Instagram for live reveals of retiring products and new products, Check out the Posh Facebook page for live reveals, or "like" my Posh page on Facebook to see all the new goodies! Websites will be down until around 10pm EST while the new products are added and retiring products are moved to the closeout section of the site.

The retiring products have been announced. If you missed seeing the list, all the retiring products can be found here. Complexion Perfection and the Hot Pepper Shabang! body butter have already sold out and gone into the vault.

With that being said, DON'T FREAK OUT!!!!! Just because a product retires, doesn't mean it's gone forever. Posh consistently changes with the seasons. And I've seen popular products return many times. And if it doesn't come back, it is replaced with something even better!

So, what does this mean for you? I'm glad you asked! New, awesome things are coming, and I get to share them with you!

As a consultant, I had to opportunity to order what is referred to as a "transition kit." This is a package of 7 new products, catalogs, and 2 packs of samples (I don't even know what I'm getting!) which will ship out on the 29th. I will try out all the new products, post reviews, and even send out samples! If you would like to be on the list of people to receive samples, please comment on this post, or send me an email with your mailing address to mrichards@bex.net.

Perfectly Posh Ingredients 101 - Charcoal

Charcoal is an amazing ingredient!

Charcoal draws dirt, bacteria, chemicals, and other impurities to the surface of the skin, absorbing over 1,000 times its weight in free radicals and pollution. Charcoal is great for treating/preventing acne. It is also great for relief from skin irritations like insect bites or poison ivy.

Charcoal is the key ingredient in the Gender Bender {Chunk} soap. This soap is, as you might guess, black. It has a nice piney scent described as "woodsy amber and soft citrus." It lathers nicely, and leaves skin soft and smooth. This soap is great for helping prevent acne because the charcoal draws out impurities in the skin.

The Whole Lava Love volcanic ash face exfoliator pairs charcoal and volcanic ash for a fabulous home spa facial experience. Paired with natural exfoliating beads, this product will give you a "microderm abrasion" removing dry, dead skin, to reveal young, healthy skin while helping to prevent fine lines. This has a tea tree and mint scent.

The Love the Dark black salt body scrub is amazing. It's just what it sounds like - a body scrub with black sea salt and charcoal. It's great for all over body exfoliation. With a sea breeze scent, this will leave you soft and smooth from head to toe.

The Stripper Body Mask is packed with charcoal. It was recently re-formulated with 2000% MORE charcoal. This mud mask is designed for use on the body, and has a spiced vanilla scent. It is great for areas of the body that tend to get "stinky" like feet! The charcoal will pull the bacteria out of skin, leaving you with a deep clean. The Stripper is GREAT for bug bites, or rashes from poison ivy/sumac/oak. Apply a layer of the mask over irritated areas, and allow to dry. It will pull the toxins out of the skin and leave you less itchy!

The Cackle Spackle detoxifying face mask is also packed with charcoal! This is a gentler version of a charcoal mud mask, formulated for the face. This mud mask smells like spearmint, and gives a nice tingling sensation when used. This mask is a great one to use to draw out impurities, and help prevent acne.

Perfectly Posh Ingredients 101 - Caffeine

Caffeine actually has great benefits for your skin! No, I'm not suggesting you bathe in your morning cup of coffee. In small, topical amounts, caffeine can do a lot of great things for your skin.

Fights Free Radicals: Free radicals are responsible for causing premature skin ageing. This results in the appearance of wrinkles, sun spots and loss of elasticity. The antioxidants contained in caffeine can attack these free radicals and eliminate them. This will improve the overall look of your skin.

Soothes Inflammation:  Caffeine possesses anti-inflammatory properties that make it effective in reducing inflammation and redness in your skin. It can reduce and prevent inflammation and redness and give you beautiful, even skin tone.

Treatment of Under Eye Dark Circles: Under eye dark circles can be caused by various factors such as dehydration, allergies, lack of sleep or genetics. Caffeine cannot cure hereditary dark circles. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it beneficial in reducing puffiness and inflammation associated with dark circles. Caffeine also reduces the accumulation of blood under your eyes which contributes to dark shadows.

Reduces Cellulite: Caffeine present in skin care products can dehydrate fatty cells. This results in the water disappearing from the surface of your skin. This minimizes the appearance of cellulite, thus providing you with a smoother skin.

Treatment of Rosacea: Caffeine constricts blood vessels to reduce redness. This makes it an ideal treatment for facial flushing and rosacea. When applied topically, caffeine works as a diuretic, aids in circulation and is also a powerful antioxidant. Thus, it has the ability to calm irritated and reddened skin caused by sun damage and rosacea.

Tightens Skin:  Another added benefit of caffeine is that its topical use can tighten fine lines and smooth puffy skin. Caffeine used in creams is absorbed by your skin to firm and tighten its appearance. It also inhibits the growth of skin cancer cells.

 

Caffeine can be found in our Moisturize 911 caffeinated face cream, Caffeinator skin stick, Good Morning Beautiful chunk, Impish Eyes de-puffing serum,  and Never Grow Up anti-aging serum.

Spooky Posh!

Every year, Posh offers three exclusive holiday themed items for Halloween. Here are this year's!

The Cackle Spackle mask is an intense, deep-cleaning mask with a strong spearmint scent. This mask is nice and light, and you only need a little to cover your entire face. The mask left my face feeling quite refreshed, with a slight cool tingle.

The pumpkin scrub is FANTASTIC! It smells exactly like pumpkin pie! It is very scrubby, and left my skin incredibly smooth afterward.

The body wash is very nice! It has a light lavender scent with a hint of mint. This sulfate-free body wash will last for months!

You can find the Spooky Posh items under the Specials section here

Skindelicious Body Butters

Have you ever used a body butter that left you feeling kinda like a greased pig? It's awful, isn't it! Perfectly Posh has a line of body butters called "Skindelicious" and that's a pretty good description! These body butters are free of fillers like soy and lanolin (that's what makes most body butters just sit on the skin), each of which are specially blended with the most on-trend and nourishing ingredients. Cocoa butter is the main ingredient in the Portalandia, Brazillian Bombshell, Snarky Butter, and Moon over Sedona. Mango Marshmallow's main ingredient is mango seed butter. Fresh Creamy Milk uses shea butter as it's main ingredient. All of the Skindelicious are free of dyes. They are sulfate-free, and contain no petroleum.

These body butters are simply amazing. You only need a little bit, and it soaks into the skin right
away. My skin feels so incredibly soft and smooth when I use them!

Portlandia has a VERY light fragrance of jasmine, green melon and meadowfoam.
Brazillian Bombshell smells of sweet jungle fruit and sugar cane. It makes me think of the beach.
Snarky Butter is a light floral scent with sandalwood. It's my favorite of all the scents.
Moon Over Sedona smells like desert lime and sage.
Mango Marshmallow is a sweet, whipped candied marshmallow. This is a great one to use as a facial moisturizer to help clear up acne scars and dark spots. (Read more about mango in this post)
Fresh Creamy Milk is the thickest of them all. The scent is described as whipped milk with sugared lemon. It is a very light scent. I like to use this one on sunburns.

Ingredients 101 - Mango

Mangoes are great for your skin! They have the ability to reduce dark spots, blemishes and acne, thus imparting a natural glow to your skin. Vitamin A and Beta carotene in this fruit restore, rejuvenate and revive your skin with vigor as well as add shine to your skin.

The antioxidants present in this fruit delay the onset of skin ageing and pigmentation. They also protect your skin against the harmful free radicals which can cause skin cancer. Vitamin C helps in curing pimples and acne. When applied directly, it smoothens out your skin and acts as a natural moisturizer.

Mangoes are packed with vitamin A which is a vital nutrient for maintaining a healthy skin and complexion as well as the integrity of mucous membranes.

Mango is found in our Mango Marshmallow Skindelicious Body Butter, End Mend products, Man Balm (lip balm for men),  and Apricots Overnight moisturizing facial mask. I use the Mango Marshmallow as a facial moisturizer, and I really have noticed a difference! My skin tone is a lot more even after a month of using this instead of my usual moisturizer!
