MBP October Spotlight Sponsor

Isn't sort of frustrating that when you become a mom, simple things like washing your face before bed become a luxury? I certainly miss my nightly beauty routine, and now that I have much less time to take care of my body and skin, I don't take the opportunity for personal 'mommy time' for granted. My husband has been encouraging me to steal a few minutes for myself every evening, which I so appreciate. Since I can take five minutes or so each night to really care for myself, I need a quick routine that will offer maximum results.

Our good friend and MBP Spotlight Sponsor, Carrie Green, is an Independent Consultant with Pink Papaya. Carrie knows how important it is for women- moms and non-moms to take care of themselves- particularly their skin. When Carrie and I were chatting about what we might like to feature during the month of October (you'll notice it's now November- oops!), I suggested the Facetini Set, for a few different reasons. Carrie was on board with my choice, and got it ordered and then sent it right out to me.

My package from Carrie is here! It was all wrapped up in pretty tissue paper!

When I unfolded the paper, I found the Facetini Set, a hand written note from Carrie, and an extra surprise!

The Facetini Travel Kit from Pink Papaya is a wonderful, generous set! It's one of many Pinktini Travel Sets, and is absolutely worth having! This set features several of Pink Papaya's top products.

This set includes:

botanical facial wash(2oz.)

botanical facial toner(2oz.)

daily moisturizer (.25oz)

facial mask with papaya extract(.5oz)

Two application/facial brushes

Convenient travel pouch

I'm in between travels right now, but will be hitting the road again soon, so I know this will come in handy. I'm tempted to not use all of these great products up before my next trip, because I know I'll want to have these skin care products with me, because they're fantastic!

Carrie checked in with me to find out my skin type before sending me the Facetini Travel Set. I told her that I tend to have oily skin, and she said that I would be considered 'combination skin.' Knowing this is actually helpful to me, because when I hear 'combination skin,' my mind immediately thinks that means 'normal to dry skin'. 

Facetini Travel Set from Pink Papaya

I love both the Botanical Face Wash and the Botanical Facial Toner that come with this set. The face wash is just a nice cleanser, and it didn't make my skin break out- which is wonderful, because a lot of cleansers do, meaning that I have to be pretty selective about what I use to clean my skin. The toner is a beautiful, light and refreshing toner, which tightens the skin, reduces pore visibility, and controls oil, naturally. I use the toner in the morning and in the evening. I have only been trying out the moisturizer at night time, but I am pleased to say that I have woken up each morning (after use), with soft, hydrated skin that did not appear oily or greasy. Huge plus! The facial mask is a once a week treat for my face. The mask contains papaya extract, which helps to absorbs and control excess oils- again, something I love and look for in my skin care products!

The Pinktini Travel Sets from Pink Papaya are great to have. This is my third set- I have also reviewed the Toetini and Aromatini Sets, and have loved them both! These are perfect to have on hand for when you're going to be traveling, because all you have to do is toss the travel pouch into your carry on or suitcase, and you're good to go! No packing tons of different bottles that take up a lot of extra room!

Carrie also surprised me with an extra little treat! She sent me a sample of Exotic Creamy Body Butter, which I so appreciated, because this time of year, my skin is definitely starting to dry out! Luxurious moisture that firms the skin, helps stimulate cell regeneration and improves skin's appearance. It's a must-have, especially during these upcoming cooler months!

I have never been disappointed with any of the products I have tried from Pink Papaya. I have lots of favorites, and would absolutely recommend them to family and friends- even those who have to be cautious about trying skin care products. Carrie is so wonderful to work with, too! She always asks me what I'd like to try out, and always sends surprises! Carrie really cares about others, and in her note, she let me know that  a Facetini Set was donated to a woman in need, thanks to her purchase of the set that she sent me to review. I love that Pink Payapa gives back!

Pink Papaya products are wonderful for anytime, and they also make wonderful gifts! I think the Pinktini Sets would be a great gift for college students with limited space, folks who like to travel, busy moms, etc. Pink Papaya has great products for both men and women! Don't forget about Pink Papaya with Carrie when you start your holiday shopping!
