My DIY Pedicure with Pink Papaya Products

I was recently sent some Pink Papaya body products to try, and I was really excited to try out this new brand.  I had actually never heard of it before it was brought to my attention, but now I’m so glad I discovered it!  Pink Papaya was started by sisters Susan and Karen with the goal of offering quality products that women would love.  They also give back to the community through three Pink Papaya philanthropy programs that you can read more about here.  


I received their toetini travel set which includes a foot scrub, foot creme, pumice stone/foot brush (not pictured), and foot spritz (close up of this is pictured where I review it further down in the post).  On the far right is their Creamy Body Butter in Samba Nights, which I received in addition to the toetini kit.

Retails for $28

Blackberry Fig Foot Scrub
This foot scrub smells SOOO good!  Oddly, it kind of reminded me of a Burberry perfume that I have smelled before – maybe it has similar fragrances/notes?  I have to try and look into that some more.  
The scrub contains brown sugar, blackberry seeds, sweet almond oil, sesame seed oil, and Vitamin E.  

I applied it in the shower by taking a small amount (Pink Papaya’s instructions say a quarter-sized amount for each foot, but I think I even used less than that – because of the oils, a little seemed to go a long way).  I did one foot at a time, starting on the top of my foot, and working my way to the bottom of my foot.  I then took the pumice stone/foot brush that comes in the travel kit, and used the pumice side on the bottom of my foot, and the brush on the top, to really try and exfoliate and remove any dead skin.  After doing both feet, I rinsed off the scrub, and my feet felt really clean and refreshed – I loved it!


Fig Leaves Sweet Almond Oil Foot Creme

After my shower, I actually decided to re-polish my toes, to really give myself a full-on at home pedicure.  After my polish dried, I applied the foot creme that comes in the toetini kit (it smells very similar to the scrub, AKA amazing!).  

This creme is so rich – a little goes a long way with this product as well.  It uses golden jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, and aloe vera to really soften the skin, and bilberry, yucca, and meadowsweet extracts to detoxify and refresh.

White Lily & Sage Refreshing Foot Spritz

For the finishing touch, I applied some of the refreshing foot spritz (I received the travel size that is included in their toetini kit, but I believe they sell this in a full-size bottle as well).  It’s 100% natural and uses menthol to cool, while propolis, sage, thyme, and white lily calm and soothe.

Creamy Body Butter 
I also received their Body Butter (a separate product, not part of the toetini kit) in the scent “Samba Nights”.  I’m  big fan of body butter, and there’s did the trick. 

Retails for $23.50

It’s really rich and silky, as a body butter should be, but it also claims to firm skin and help stimulate cell regeneration.  It has a soft, kind of floral/powdery scent.  It uses shea butter and sunflower seed oil to moisturize, and cucumber and ivy extracts to tighten the skin.  I fell in love with the way this body butter felt on my skin, and really loved how my hands felt after I applied it to my body.  It left such a silky powdery feeling on my hands.
