I was recently contacted by blog reader (and fellow Old-Navy lover) Stacey. She is a consultant for Perfectly Posh products and she wanted to know if I was interested in trying their products, which are all made of natural ingredients and are paraben-free.
I love luxurious bath & body products – so I agreed to try a selection of products that appealed to me: no facial products since I’m on acne treatment – and no bath bombs/bubble baths/body scrubs – I’m more of a shower gel/lotion/body butter person! As always – when I review a free item, I consider it as if I paid
the retail price…and evaluate it objectively.
Continue reading to see what I thought of the products and for the chance to win a $50 Perfectly Posh gift certificate (open to US residents only, sorry!).
These are 3 versions of the same product, each with a different fragrance. This cream is full of moisturizing oils (including Coconut, Olive, Safflower, Grape, Jojoba & Avocado) yet it absorbs easily and leaves a long-lasting soft feeling. I feel like it improves the overall condition of my skin, rather than just creating a temporary silky feeling (unlike some other hand creams – especially silicone-based ones!). I’ve reviewed hand creams extensively here. While Fruits & Passion is still my Holy Grail hand cream – I would rate the PP ones above Aquaphor, Neutrogena and Kiehls creams!
Chunk Big Bath Bars & Shower Gelee
Gender Bender Bath Bar – This unisex soap is very firm yet lathers well. It has a sweet sandalwood-y smell – my children said it reminded them of my “going-out perfume” (Angel by Thierry Mugler).
Maha Satori Gelee – This wash is SLS free, yet foams up nicely. The Ginger & White Tea smell is divine BUT sadly not long-lasting. By the time I apply moisturizer I can no longer smell it on my skin.
Feng Shoap Bath Bar – I love this creamy white soap – it’s so nourishing and luxurious. It’s triple-milled and butter-based, so it’s softer than the Gender Bender soap. It has a lovely light & powdery scent. I would use this on my kids.
Cocoa Body Butter, Mood Mister & Sugar Lip Scrub
Plain Posh Cocoa Body Butter – One of my favorite products – it’s so pure and although no fragrance has been added – it has a beautiful natural cocoa scent which I LOVE. Colder weather means we’ve turned the central heating on – and this cream has been a miracle-worker on the resulting dry & itchy skin. It immediately cools our skin down and soothes it – eliminating any redness and tightness.
Lavender Mood Mister – This essential oil is for spraying on your body or surroundings. Although this product was hard to sample (since it’s a liquid placed in a jar rather than a spray) I couldn’t get over how AMAZING this smelled – I love it so much! I think this would be the perfect product to take on a long-haul flight: spray it onto your seat and blanket before settling down for a nap – it would take care of any stale smells while relaxing your body in one easy step!
Make-Out Magic Sugar Lip Scrub – I’ve not had much luck with lip scrubs before (see my thoughts on the Bath & Bodyworks one here). I had a mild case of the flu last week, which left me with dry, peeling lips. I tried my usual Vaseline + Paper towel trick, but my lips were still flaky. I applied this on my lips – and within 30 seconds, the flakes were all gone! I still had to apply lip balm after as the scrub left my lips feeling a bit dry – but I’m super-impressed at how effective this is!
MY THOUGHTS:
Perfectly Posh products are a definite must-try for any one who likes natural and luxurious bath & body products. I love how all the product ingredients are clearly listed and explained on their website. The last 3 products I tried (Cocoa butter, Mood Mister & Lip scrub) were my favorites – they are effective and unique – and I would definitely go out and purchase them with my own money.

Would love to try the Hand Cream!
I love natural products that actually work, sounds like you were a big fan of most of these. I would most likely choose the Plain Posh Cocoa Body Butter or the Lei Away Yummy hand cream. Such a great giveaway!LindsayLindsayJEveryday.blogspot.comLindsayJEveryday@gmail.com
I love your consultant, Stacey. 🙂 The products are all to die for and I love that they don't have harmful ingredients. I'd love any of the products to sit on my shelf and be used daily. Thanks!!
LOVE Stacey and her heart. And the products are all safe to use without yukky chems. They smell amazingly fab and their marketing is so darling. I'd love any of what you could give and would use them all daily. Thanks again! Shannon
I really want to try the gender bender bar soap because you said it smells like the angel perfume- love that scent. I was also just thinking the other day I need a lip scrub, so id love to try that too! Thank you for the giveaway!
I would absolutely LOVE to try the Make-Out Magic Sugar Lip Scrub. My lips get so flaky and dry in the winter weather and i'm always looking for ways to eliminate the flakiness!
