So lately I've seen a lot of buzz about all of this Posh stuff. I'm always skeptical of these small beauty companies, many have pushy reps and drive you crazy with social media posts, it makes you wonder if it isn't just hype. Well I've met one rep in particular who sent me a bunch of samples to try and let you know my honest opinion. I love to find the good in things, but I also won't hesitate to tell you what I think needs to be changed or just avoided all together. So with that, below are a couple of items I have tried. Oh and keep your eye out, because when I said a bunch I meant it, this is only a start because I think things need to be tried a while before you can give a true opinion.
Bless Your Heart Chunk: So this is a chunk soap bar for bathing that smells like those good ole southern peaches and cream. Can I just stop and say I LOVE the scent of this soap. I'm really not a bar soap gal, I'm a gel girl all the way, but I did love this. It had a great lather (even on my sponge!) and it didn't leave my skin feeling dry. The only downside for me was that the scent didn't stay after I rinsed it off. I went out and bought a different girlie glycerin bar soap from Target that smelled like conversation hearts and it didn't leave a scent either. If you prefer not to have scent once you step out of the shower, it's perfect for you. Honestly I would give this 4.8 stars just because of the scent thing. It's actually a great soap and bottom line, it cleans!
Hunk Chunk: I know this soap is for men. I tried to get my hubby to try it, but alas, he a Dial soap fan and insists on everything antibacterial. Of course, this means another soap for me to try! I liked it. I love that manly smell, it's always robust and honestly, my man always smells amazing at the end of a hard day. I don't get it. Well this soap smells great, it has a decent lather and with this one, the scent faintly lingers after rinsing! Yay! If you're looking to surprise or gift your hubby, SO, man friends, I would definitely recommend this be added to the list. And don't wait, it's an awesome bar! A 5-star if you ask me.
Bonus: The bar is pretty snazzy for a guy too!
Lil Snarky Big Fat Yummy Hand Creme: There is nothing Lil about this scent. It's definitely one that could keep you on the fence in the scent department. My hubby didn't like it, to me it made me think of Sex and the City. When getting down to the nitty gritty, it works pretty well, although it didn't leave my hands feeling moisturized for as long as I'd have liked. The scent did last tho! Did I mention that I love the smell of this?! It's great for putting you in the mood! *wink, wink* Definitely a 4.8 stars in my little book.
Fresh Creamy Milk from the SkinDelicious Line: This stuff smells amazing! Yes, I'm starting off with the smells. It's the biggest deal breaker for me! This is a body butter. I've tried it on my hands, elbows, knees, legs and feet. A little bit goes a long way with this body butter. If you're looking for something that definitely lasts longer than 15 min. in the winter this is the way to go. I've had it on my hands for over an hour and they are still moisturized! The same went for my elbows and knees. We all know legs and feet will follow suit with the rest. It smells like fresh milk with a hint of coconut milk. It's a pleasing scent that does last. Way to go Posh, another 5 stars from me! Unfortunately I believe this is also one of the ones they took out of their spring line. So time to find me a new scent!
The Caffeinator: This is supposed to tighten, brighten and add zing. For me, I felt the zing...but unfortunately I didn't see or feel any tightening or brightening. If you're looking for a quick wake up, it will do that for a minute or two. It definitely smells like lemons in a good way tho. So I am sad to say I would only give this 1 star.
Night and Day: I'm a little iffy on the scent. However, it definitely leaves my face feeling moisturized. Something I'm starting to need as I'm *gulp* getting older. It's a thicker cream when applying but another one of those, a little bit goes a long way items. So far I would recommend this. I would write more but I'm still trying to get used to using a moisturizer on my face. This is a first for me, but this is a new path I'm venturing on. Don't wait til your mid 30's to start this routine. Go ahead and pick one of these up. Even if you only do it once a day, your face will actually thank you. Mine is swearing at me for not doing it sooner. This is definitely a 5 star since I don't feel like my face has really had a negative reaction to it (ie. breakouts).
Stay tuned ladies and gents. There will be more upon my return from sample land! Hope you are having a "Perfectly Posh" day!
