Freeman Beauty #BarefootBLISS!

A while back, I discovered a wonderful website called Influenster. Thanks to the wonderful people at Influenster and Freeman Beauty, I got to try out two new products from Freeman's new Barefoot Spa Professional line!

First, a little backstory: Influenster actually sent me a voucher to go pick up one of the two products from the new line at a Walmart near me. Unfortunately, NONE of the WalMarts near me carried the BSP line, yet. I contacted the lovely people at Freeman, and they were kind enough to send me both of the products in the line! A++ for customer service!

Now, I have tried some of Freeman's facial masks in the past, and I love them. So I had very high expectations for these products. So I eagerly set up a foot bath outside and slathered these products on my feet only to realize that the products are NOT meant for your feet. They're meant for your body! Granted, I suppose I could have read the directions on the back labels a little closer, but I mean, come on...The line is balled Barefoot Spa Professional. The original Barefoot line is all foot products. Hence the name. And the packaging is actually shaped like a foot. Bottom line, the packaging and branding is confusing. But onto the actual products themselves...

Barefoot Spa Professional line from Freeman Beauty (left to right): Exfoliating Polish and Moisturizing Massage Cream

The Exfoliating Polish was wonderful. It is a true polish, as opposed to a scrub, with fine exfoliating particles. While gentle, it did its job effectively, leaving my skin feeling very smooth. It also left my skin with a nice shimmery sheen, due to the mica particles in the product. The product was also very easy to rinse off, and didn't leave my skin with some sort of weird residue. The fine particles didn't clog my drain either, which was a nice little bonus.

The Moisturizing Massage Cream, however, wasn't exactly the most moisturizing. It isn't what I would call a cream, since the product itself is very light. It is more along the line of a lotion. However, the product did feel really nice to apply, especially paired with the scrub. The product sunk in quickly and didn't leave my skin feeling greasy. Again, it's not the most nourishing, but it is very spa like and feels lovely to apply. Great for massaging into sore legs!

Overall, while the packaging and branding was fairly confusing, these products are pretty on point! The Exfoliating Polish is gentle, yet effective, and the Massage Cream feels great to apply, especially when used alongside the Polish. Again, I'm sort of a fan, but Freeman Beauty is known for making quality products. At the price point ($5.99 each!), you just really can't beat this #BarefootBLISS!
