Beauty Review: Never Grow Up Anti-Aging Serum

I have always heard that if you don't have time for a skin care regimen you should at least use a good serum at night.  It just takes a few seconds to apply, and it does wonders for your skin!  I had been using Mary Kay's vitamin C serum, but I wanted something that wasn't as costly.  I decided to try the serum that Perfectly Posh offers.  After the third night of using it I woke up looking like I had a facelift!  My skin was so tight, and my skin was glowing.  I love this serum.  It has a nice lavender/lemon scent that is perfect and calming for night time.  You can get yours HERE.

Beauty Review: Tree Hugger Lip Scrub

I grew up using Mary Kay's Satin Lips and similar products.  All of them required you to rinse them off.  So I ask you.....when was the last time your lip scrub said in the directions "lick or wipe off the excess sugar"?  Well, that's precisely what Tree Hugger Lip scrub from Perfectly Posh tells you to do.  It's so refreshing to be able to lick it off if you choose to!

Does it work?  Yes, very well.

Perfectly Posh Seas of the Day Review

Seas of the Day Chuck

Perfectly Posh has two different kinds of soap bars.  A chunk and a snarky bar.  Here are a few pictures to demonstrate the different products, and how they compare to those you would find on the market.

Here is a picture that shows the differences between the bars.  The Snarky bar is loaded with natural exfoliating beads, and is taller than any bar I have seen.  You have the basic Dove bar in the middle, and then the chunk at the end.  (The chunk shown is our Gender Bender which is like coalface at Lush).  The chunks you need two hands for. I know it doesn't look like it, but you do!

Here is a description of the exfoliating beads in the snarky bar.  They are FANTASTIC at exfoliating feet!  I have a snarky bar in my shower for just that reason!  I use the snarky bar once a week all over my body to get rid of excess skin cell build up.

Right now I have been using our Seas of the Day chunk in my shower.  I wasn't sure I was going to like the scent because I don't like cherry stuff, but it is heavenly!  The website describes it as:

"Shea butter and wild cherry extract bring a wave of beachy perfection to your skin with a splash of agave fragrance. You'll be ready to Seas the Day after every shower."

I have been using this chunk for three weeks and there doesn't seem to be any wearing showing on the soap yet.  I do feel like I get basked in lotion every time I take a shower because of this chunk!  I would expect some drying, but this doesn't seem to do that.  As an extra bonus....it works as a lovely air freshener for my bathroom too!  

Right now it is on closeout for $7.00  

Perfectly Posh Beauty Review: Smashing Good Pumpkin

First off, I am not a person that regularly suffers from acne.  When I do have breakouts they are usually pretty painful.  I decided to try the smashing good pumpkin clay skin mask to see if it would help.

The first time I used it was before an event that I had.  I had a zit pop up, and I didn't want that to be the focus during this event.  So I applied the mask.  The next morning my zit was greatly diminished to the point that it was barely there.

The second time I used it I had numerous painful zits.  I put on the mask, and rinsed it off.  Immediately the pain was diminished.

This mask is a gentle clay mask that brings out toxins from your skin.  Even though it is named Smashing Good Pumpkin it does not smell like pumpkin.  It smells like clay.  It can be purchased from my website.  Before you purchase anything be sure to sign up for the perks program.  You will get free points for signing up and for your birthday, AND for everything you buy!

Beauty Review: The Ritual from Perfectly Posh

As you may have seen in a previous post, I took the plunge to join Perfectly Posh.  I love the products, so I figured I may as well get a discount....right?  Well, when you be come a Perfectly Posh consultant, you are given this face mask called "The Ritual".  The only time you will ever get it is by becoming a consultant.  You can't reorder, you can't beg.  It's only the one container that you will ever get your hands on.

Today is National Bosses Day, so I figured I may as well pamper myself!  I love being my own boss.  I love my photography gigs.  I love Jamberry.  And I love Perfectly Posh!  So why not celebrate myself?

Here you see "The Ritual" in it's box, and on my face.  It's a pink creamy face mask that has a touch of tingle to it.  I followed with moisturizer, and my face is sooooo incredibly smooth!  The consultant kit alone is worth it! If you want to get your own Ritual follow the link!   www.perfectlyposh.com/melodypharmon

New Perfectly Posh Consultant!!!!!

If you have been following my blog for any length of period you would have noticed that I am a fan of perfectly posh.  I love that they are a more natural approach to beauty products.  Plus they don't have lanolin in them (I think I am beginning to react to it).  Since I am spending so much money on it, I decided that I would sign up!  Please support my new endeavor and place an order!  Click here for my party link!  Here are some of my favorite products.

Cackle Spackle is AMAZING!!!!  It's a beautiful blend of mint and charcoal.  Love it!  You need to buy it soon because it is expected to sell out any day now.  For good reason too!!!!!

In this photo you will see the sample of both stripper and the snarky butter.  Both I love!!!!  I'm a fan of face masks, so stripper is wonderful!  Snarky butter may my skin feel like a baby's bottom.  Then there is caramel cray cray and rah rah raspberry lip stuff.  Lanolin free!  :D  

This is Kale Face.  It made my skin so incredibly soft!  

Beauty Review: Cackle Spackle

I've you have been following my blog for a while you may have noticed that I am quickly falling in love with Perfectly Posh.  I love face masks, but never had a good track record of finding ones that I liked.  So far I have liked each mud mask that I have tried!  

This one is Cackle Spackle.  It's a mix of peppermint and charcoal.  It is WONDERFUL!  It is so refreshing!  AND it made my skin soft as a baby's bottom!  I can't say enough how much I love this stuff!  This is a holiday exclusive item, so you might want to get yours before they are gone!  www.perfectlyposh.com/melodypharmon

Perfectly Posh Review: Snarky Butter

I got this sample in my box from a previous order from Perfectly Posh.  Normally I don't like body butters.  They are too greasy.  However, this sample was a pleasant surprise!  It absorbed quickly, and smells lovely!  My skin feels super soft after use, and stays that way for a while afterward.  This is definitely going to be my next purchase from Perfectly Posh!

It does contain Almond in it, so be careful if you have someone in your family with a nut allergy.

Perfectly Posh: Lil Snarky hand creme

I was given this sample from Chrissy Poust at Perfectly Posh.  I love Perfectly Posh.  It's a paraben free company, and their stuff is amazing!

This hand creme works really well!  It makes your skin feel like silk.  It has a very nice scent as well.  It used apricot, and I am assuming that's what the main scent is (although I would have guessed rose).  I am not a person that wears a lot of scented things, so the scent was a bit much for me.  However, it is very nice.

Perfectly Posh Pink Putty

My final product that I purchased from Perfectly Posh was Pink Putty.  It's a peppermint foot mask.  I have never done a foot mask, so it was a little unusual for me.  I was afraid to move with it, and afraid if I walked around after it dried I would have foot prints everywhere.  That wasn't the case those.

It is a very nice cooling sensation when you put it on.  It was a nice peppermint scent, and wasn't at all overpowering.  It was a lot like what you would expect from a facial mask, but for your feet.  I loved having the mud on my feet!

When it was completely dry it because a chalky color.  It didn't take long to dry at all.  I left it on for about 10 minutes.

At first it seemed to dry out my feet.  However, the next day I did notice that my feet didn't feel as rough.  So, I guess it worked, but it isn't my favorite product.  I probably wouldn't buy this again, but it is nice for the moment.

Perfectly Posh: Apricots Overnight Face Mask

With my last order from Perfectly Posh I was given a sample of Apricots Overnight face mask.  I have never tried an overnight mask before, but I love face masks!  I figured it wouldn't hurt.

 I loved the smell.  Apricot smells wonderful to me, so if you don't like the smell of apricots you won't like this.

very unflattering picture....oh well.

One thing that I hate about Posh products is that their directions are a bit lacking for their products.  At first I put too much on my face.  I ended up wiping a lot off.  It wasn't sticky, but I was worried that it would ruin my pillow case, so I couldn't go to sleep without a towel under me.  I had a hard time sleeping with the towel under me, so I noticed that it sort of pilled up (like a wool sweater would pill).  In the morning my face felt nice, but then by the end of the day it felt super dry.

Not my favorite product.  I don't do overnight masks, so I am not one to judge whether this is a good product or not.

Perfectly Posh

When I became a Jamberry consultant, I decided to join a consultant of the month group of Facebook (I know of a fantastic one if you are looking for one).  This group is fantastic for networking, but it also introduces me to new companies and products that I have never heard of before.

One of these companies is Posh beauty products.  Everything is under $25 and they pride themselves on offering alternative options to normal beauty products on the market.  According to their website they are:

• Pampering products made in the USA
• Gentle, natural ingredients
• No parabens, paraffins, sulfates, lanolin, or fillers
• Lots of natural butters and essential oils
• Many vegan options
• No animal testing

I had entered a raffle (and lost), so I needed to purchase some items from a Posh consultant.  I chose a face mask called Seawitch, and Play Footsie Fabulous Fizzies.

I was super excited to try the clay mask!  It is made with kelp and algae.

This mask smelled like the ocean!  

It was a very calming, and cooling mask.  It was pretty wonderful.  When it came time to wash it off I ended up being concerned.  As you can tell from the picture below.....it turned my face VERY red!

As it turns out this is normal.  It just means that the toxins are being pulled out of the skin.  The redness lasted about ten minutes before it went away.  It left my face feeling like a baby's behind!  Super soft!  Loved the product.  Will be buying more when I use this up!

The next product that I tried was the Play Footsie Fabulous Fizzies.  (Love the name!)  These are super easy to use.  You just drop one into warm water.  It fizzes around (basically a bath bomb).  You soak your foot in it as long as you want.  It had a refreshing raspberry smell mixed with peppermint.  The peppermint I think made it give my feet a cooling sensation.  It was very relaxing!

My feet were pretty scruffy after the winter.  After I soaked my feet I used a stone to help get the dead skin cells off, and they just seemed to slide off.  Now I have silky smooth feet.  I am not sure if I liked this product enough to buy it again, but they were still very nice.

All of my products were purchased off of Christine Poust.  Her site can be found by clicking here.
