Brand: Trust Fund Beauty

You don't need to be a trust fund beauty to enjoy this brand of nail polish. With flirty high-end names like a neutral metallic called "Boozy Brunch" and a hot pink "Non-Disclosure Agreement", this polish is fun for the high-powered city woman, but the price is quite average at $10-15 a bottle. I'm currently wearing the "$12 Latte" shown below. (I'd show you, but guys, my cuticles!)


Here's why I'm enjoying this polish: It's vegan and cruelty free (no animal testing), and they are "10 free", meaning they avoid harsh or questionable ingredients.

This polish is quality; you get great coverage with 1-2 coats. You don't even miss all the extra chemicals! :) 

It also has a sweet back story: founder Samara Granofsky was inspired by her mother, whose chemotherapy treatments made her nails brittle. Her polishes are an homage, both through a safe non-toxic product line with fun colors, and as a nod to their shared sassy sense of humor.

Brand: Perfectly Posh

I discovered Perfectly Posh through my friend and neighbor, Abbie. It's a pampering brand - think bath, body, and spa for men and women. 

It's one of those home party, independent consultant businesses, which I have a love/hate relationship with. But, I saw this ad, and was intrigued to learn more: 


Affordable, natural, and guilt-free? Sign me up! 

Abbie was generous enough to give me several samples so I could try a variety of the products, and I was beyond impressed. Here were some of my favorites: 
  • BFF Face Wash: the featured ingredients are aloe, grapefruit oil, and peppermint oil. Being oil based, your skin feels refreshed not stripped, and the strong peppermint is a great way to wake up in the morning!

  • Night and Day Moisturizer: the featured ingredients are aloe, olive oil, and lavender oil. This is a thicker moisturizer that I thought would be too heavy for daytime, but it soaked in to a silky finish after just a few minutes, leaving my 30-something skin feeling plump again. The subtle lavender smell makes you feel like you're in a spa. 
  • End Mend Shampoo and Conditioner: These were the most impressive. I have brittle hair with a wavy/frizzy texture. I don't know what sorcery this is (well, we do - it's *all* the oils and seed butters), but my hair was soft and smooth after a single wash. Without products, my hair was drying into nice, frizz-free curls! You see commercials promising results after trying something just once, but this was a product that delivered
  • Hello Sweetie BFYHC (Big Fat Yummy Hand Cream): a subtle vanilla scent and a formula that soaks in to be non-greasy. 
I have never been so pleased with a natural pampering products company before, where the fragrances are light and pleasing from essential oils, and the products seem very effective.
