South Of France Review and Giveaway
South of France, specializes in a different kind of delicious – luxurious bath products, made with time-honored French recipes using all-natural vegetable ingredients. They never use harsh chemicals and all of their products are Sodium Laurel/ Laureth Sulfate Free, EDTA Free, Phthalate Free and Paraban Free. South of France is also 100% Cruelty Free- we never use animal by-products or test our products on animals.
South of France’s dedication to creating quality products has made them one of the number one selling natural bars in the country today.
I am a major bar soap lover. If you would have told me 6 years ago, that I would stop using body wash, gels and creams, I probably would have laughed and rolled my eyes. I always felt like that was the only thing that woudl get me clean. The problem was that, I felt I needed to be stripped of all bad and good oils to feel clean. Well that just simply isn’t the case. You want to leave the nourishing oils on your skin, and only clean the dirt and grime away.
That is precisely what South of France Soaps do. Even their body wash left my skin feeling clean but not tight and dry. And with all of the scents they have, you are sure to find one you will like.
The South of France French Milled traditional soap is 100% vegetable oil based, containing soothing oils and moisturizing Shea butter in a long lasting 8.8 oz. bar. Infused with fragrances and essential oils, these rich lathering, cruelty-free bars are produced using a traditional recipe from Provence.
I tested the Honey, and it is just as the site says. Creamy, rich later, with just the right amount of scent. Because this bar is made with such amazing moisturizing benefits, make sure you keep it in a soap tray, away from moisture, or you might find it melty when you return!
I also tried out their liquid hand soaps. The South of France Liquid Soaps are a high lathering soap made with a special blend of premium vegetable oils. The soaps are kettle cooked in small batches following a traditional French recipe.
Lavender, Lemon Mint, Orange Blossom Honey, Green Tea and Shea Butter are infused with luxurious fragrances. I in my awe over the scent of the Orange Blossom Honey. It is the perfect blend of citrus and sweet. I ran out of my favorite hand soap in the kitchen and this became a great replacement. Cleans, but doesn’t leave my hands and nails extremely dried out.
I also tried out their Acai Pomegranate Body Wash and Body Lotion. South of France maintains their own special blend of premium of ingredients including all natural vegetable oils enhanced with natural anti-oxidants.
The wash left my skin nice and clean, but again, not squeaky clean. It has such an awakening scent. It smells clean and refreshing, which is exactly what it does for the skin. The lotion left my skin extremely moisturized and nicely scented. I don’t like my lotions to over power with scent, and this has a great level.

June Jacobs Spa Lips Review
October 27, 2009 by Karissa
Filed under Info You Want to Know
I have admitted to you all before that I am lip balm, lip quencher- name it anything you want junkie.
My lips are addicted. As soon as I saw this Lip Kit from June Jacobs, I just had to have it!
Paraben and preservative free, This is a three step kit. Fantastic for us addicts. Helps to contour the lips, fight wrinkles, reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and to keep lip stick from feather (with multiple uses.)
- Lip Scrub: This emollient sugar-based lip exfoliation treatment with nourishing oils and age-fighting anti-oxidants gently sweeps away dead skin cells leaving lips silky smooth. Directions: Apply to lips using a light circular motion and rinse off with warm water.
- Lip Masque: This luxurious masque, enriched with soothing botanicals and age-fighting anti-oxidants, gently soothes, hydrates and protects the lips, leaving them ultra-smooth. Directions: Apply to lips and leave on for two to three minutes and rinse off with warm water.
- Lip Renewal: A lip treatment infused with shea butter, grapefruit and vitamin E that provides instant and continual relief to dry, dehydrated, peeling lips, increases hydration and volume, and reduces the appearance of lip furrows. Revitalizing formula naturally enhances lip structure, improves contour, adds volume and defines the lipline. Active oligopeptide delivers fuller lips by naturally stimulating collagen production.
Again, here I am, trying to pick a favorite out of three winners! The Lip Scrub is great for days that maybe you slept too long? or maybe you had lipstick on all day and it has hijacked your soft lips and replaced them with sandpaper? The scrub is soft, and sweet and removed all the dead skin sitting on my lips with great ease!
The Lip Masque is fun, just for no other reason then having a mask on your lips! Really seems to do a task beyond a normal lip treatment duty!
and the Lip Renewal. This is my new clear lip gloss. It hydrates, is not at all sticky, and once the bulk of it has worn away, my lips still feel conditioned. No bad taste either!
June Jacobs has a whole lot of everything for you if you are looking for luxury, spa and beauty! And well, aren’t we all?
June Jacobs, a world renowned spa visionary for over thirty years, has redefined luxury spa. The couture was inspired by a void within the spa market. June Jacobs Spa Collection based on high concentrations of carefully selected botanical and plant extracts, recognized for their soothing and restorative powers, the June Jacobs Spa Collection marries age defying science and luxury. June’s belief in both paraben and preservative free treatments combined with hydrosol technology, which distills active ingredients to its purest form, delivers unparalleled results.

Pevonia Neck & Bust Duo! Review and Giveaway
I actually realized how much sun damage I have gotten on my chest after Craig and I’s trip to Fort Whalton this past May. More Freckles yes, but worse then that, just icky wrinkling, and rough skin.
Well the timing is perfect right now to mend any sun damaged skin! The sun tanning season has left us, and now it is time to repair! (I am not endorsing getting fried over the summer, and then trying to fix it in the winter!)
I was able to try both of these, and I was pleased with the results. I have only been testing them out for a short 2 weeks, but I can already see and feel how much more moisturized my neck and chest are becoming. In fact, I thought it was doing such a good job, that I decided to let my mom take it over. She has always worried about that area, and I thought she would see some pretty great results.
In the short time I used it, I did feel like the wrinkling that has been starting was looking more plumped up. In just two weeks!
The great part? It is a duo, and you only have to use it once a day! Pick your poison, morning or night, makes it so simple!
Restore Neck & Bust Concentrate & Restore Neck & Bust Cream firms and tones your delicate neck, bust, and décolleté/chest. A potent blend of Kigelia Africana, Elastin, and Vitamin E, reduces visible signs of aging, smoothes texture, and improves elasticity for a visibly, youthfully restored neck and bust/chest.
Benefits
- Intensive anti-aging treatment
- Fights against premature skin damage
- Hydrates and firms
- Proven visible results
- Tones and Firms
- Strengthens Elasticity
- Smoothes Lines
October starts tomorrow, and with it brings Breast Cancer Awareness Month, for this Pevonia is offering a 20% discount off their Neck & Bust Cream, and their Neck & Bust Concentrate! Head over to Shop Pevonia, and then enter code: Supportbca1009 to get your discount!
And you know Pevonia! They want to give one Prissy Green Reader the chance to try this out for herself! You will get both, Restore Neck & Bust Concentrate & Restore Neck & Bust Cream. A $130 Value!
To enter, go to Shop Pevonia, and tell me another product from the line that you would like to try out and why.

Mermaid’s Purse, Natural Organics Review and Giveaway
How cute is the name Mermaid’s Purse? I just love it. Quite fitting too! Measha owner and founder of Mermaid’s Purse, has got the ticket just right!
Here is a couple things Measha has to say about her gorgeous shop:
I come from Native American roots, where you learn to use all parts of what you are blessed with. My grandmother used to make soap
with her own grandmother, so naturally when I was interested, she taught me first the homesteader method, with suet or animal fats, and then showed me how to use plant and vegetable oil alternatives. My grandmother was also a certified massage therapist and worked with essential oils for aromatherapy. I decided that if I was going to make something, I wanted it to be natural, using only plant-based ingredients. Where would I be without Grandma?
In 2003 I used my skills to develop a business and sold my soaps at arts and crafts shows. My mother used to do shows when I was growing up, so I wasn’t at all afraid of trying this for myself. It actually made me feel right at home. Here I was in the same environment that I enjoyed so much as a child.
It was during my first pregnancy that I would develop my first ever non-soap beauty care product. My inspiration came from being unable to find any all-natural products to prevent stretch marks. My first product would be my “Belly Butter”. From there, Mermaid’s Purse has grown into a full product line including, natural soaps, body butters, shampoos, massage oils, natural deodorants, salves and mineral soaks.
We’ve now been in business officially since 2003 and I believe our success can be attributed to a couple of things. One, all-natural products really work. We enjoy what we do and put a lot of focus on making quality natural products. We not only make them, we also use them because they are so effective. Secondly, because we do make all of our products, we can customize them based on a customer’s preference. After all, we’re all individuals, who can enjoy the same benefits of natural products – just to the beat of our own flavor! Try Mermaid’s Purse today, and find your own beat.
She carries a wide range of products from home grown natural loofah, to dried herbs, and essential oils. But the shopping doesn’t stop there! She also has shampoos, soaps, Dead Sea Mineral soaks and so much more! It is a shop you can definitely get a little lost in, so don’t forget to tether yourself with a rope, in case you need pulled back out! =)
I sampled a few items, and have to say, they are as good as described! The Mini Dead Sea Mineral soak was the first item I tried out. This mineral rich bath soak is a blend of Dead Sea Salt, Pacific/Atlantic Sea Salt and Epsoms Salt combined for their curative powers. For centuries people have soaked in salt baths to facilitate wound healing, to smooth and soften skin, and to ease muscle aches and swelling.
You already know how I feel about bath soaks! I used this on my feet and ankles one day, and wow, what a difference. My feet felt recharged and ready for the day all over again! I don’t really ever take the time out to just soak my feet, and usually when i am in the tub soaking, I have me feet up, so I can fit better. I need to start doing this more often!
Craig is a huge soap lover, and reviewed the Goat’s Milk Soap. I never even realized it had been opened! Imagine my disappointment, when i found the wrapper and asked him if he liked it? His response was that is was really creamy and left his skin soft. He isn’t a huge lavender fan, being a dude and all, but he said that the peppermint and lavender had a nice scent, and seemed to mesh pretty well. I appreciate that fact that they offer 50 Cent samples, or their full 6.5 oz bars for $7.00. Samples are great for traveling, or for test driving which you want to buy bulk of!
I also was treated to s sample size bottle of her Orange Blossom Shampoo/Body Wash. Most of the time you only see these for kids, I always figured it must be hard to get it right for adults! Well MP has done it correct, as this was nice on my hair, as on my body. It left my hair soft and manageable, and left my skin clean, with a slight fragrance of Jasmine and Orange.
100% Natural and Organic ingredients! Our Shampoo Body Wash is PH balanced for all hair types, and is loaded with scalp benefiting essential oils! Botanical extracts leave skin and hair clean and nourished!
Mermaid’s Purse has some well thought out gift sets. If you are looking for a new product line to try out, or a gift for someone, i highly suggest checking them out!
Mermaid’s Purse would like to offer one Prissy Green reader their choice of two special spa packs!
Pack 1:Large Dead Sea Mineral Bath Soak with your choice of an Essential Oil to go with it
Pack 2:assortment of 5 soaps and 2 samples of what ever products you would like to try
To enter to win, go check out Mermaid’s Purse Natural Organics, and tell me at least one product and scent if applicable that you would like to try!

ColoreScience Pro Review and Giveaway
ColoreScience Pro is a innovative skin care and cosmetic line that has made huge strides in the camouflage, color and sunscreen categories. Their products are not only portable, but extremely easy to use and convenient. Yet they maintain a luxurious status and product. Each product does at least double duty, but usually more.
I was able to try out a few of the items from ColoreScience Pro. Their Suncanny Foundation Brush, is your mineral makeup, sunscreen and brush all in one! it is even water safe for 6 or more, plus the great 20 SPF that is contains, leaves you not needed to reapply sunscreen at the beach or pool!
It has fantastic coverage, less is definitely more. The only problem is, it can be quite tricky since the minerals automatically come out, to learn how to apply evenly and with a light stroke. But once I mastered that, i was set to go!!
And make sure you store it upright, so more minerals don’t start falling forth overnight!
I also test drove their Bronzer Brush. This also has an amazing 20SPF and brush and makeup all built right in together. So completely convenient. It is also a little tricky to get the coverage down, but once you learn the skill of applying with a light hand, the application is a piece of cake, PLUS the color is stunning. Very natural, and believable for a sunkissed dewy look.
Colorescience also has these super cool Achromatherapy Gem Spritzers, that contain a crystal for extra love and energy. Combines color, aromatherapy and crystals to give you a three in one punch! Use as a toner, mister or to set your makeup.
Small disclaimer. I didn’t realize until after I had tried the products, that some contain Bismuth Oxychloride. That is usually a mineral ingredient that I shy away from. I will let you decide for yourself!
I have THREE prizes to give away to THREE lucky winners. Yep that is 9 products in total. The winners will each receive their choice of Foundation, Bronzer and Primer! This is a value of up to $200 for each winner! To enter, head over to ColoreScience Pro and tell me which product and color you would most like to try.

Pure Anada Mineral Cosmetics, Review and Giveaway
I have been struggling for at least the past two years to find a natural, healthy mascara. And finally someone delivers, and that someone is Pure Anada. It lengthens, adds great volume, and does all this with no clumps, or flaking!
It is so ironic, as a couple months ago, a reader asked me what the one thing I had not changed over from traditional products might be. I quickly replied MASCARA! I had tried several, MiEssence, Physicians Formula, and a couple more, and they either flaked, or didn’t give my eyes any vroom vroom! I am utterly shocked at how much the Pure Anada Natural Mascara compares, to my old mascara. It might even be better at providing a clean rich black color, as well as more volume with out clumps.
Pure Anada also carries 100% Pure Mineral colors such as blush, eyeshadows, color correctors and of course foundations! Plus eyeliners, bronzers, finishers and so much more!
Pure Anada only uses the most natural ingredients to create their color formulations, no talc, bismuth oxychloride, artificial colors, synthetic preservatives or Carmine. You can read what they do use here.
They have a huge selection of colors for all skin colors including ethnic skin and African American.
Pure Anada has offered a $50 gift certificate to one Prissy Green Reader! That is a lot of color!! To enter, head over to Pure Anada and tell me one item and color that you would choose if you were to win the $50 Gift Certificate! (don’t worry you can change your mind later!)
