The Beauty Dust Packaging
My first impression was that the packaging isverysmall,being about3 X 3 inches big and containing only 1.5 oz.It comes ina sleek blackjarwith a simple pink wrapping and doodle reading "Beauty Dust", its simplicity is very appealing and goes hand in hand with their vibe.I'm notsure if I amused to containers being the same size as proteinpowder packaging BUTfrom the photograph and for the price tag($38) I was definitely expecting the jar to be much bigger.
My next thought was well maybe the serving sizes aresmaller because it has greater potency,butstrangely enoughit only contains 14 servings per container. So, if this is something you plan on keeping upin your routinejust know it could quickly get a wee bit pricey with buyinga new dust every two weeks.
All of the ingredientsare extremely potent and organic but, to me,it does seem a bit overpriced for the amount of product you receive.Of course, if it does work you could totally throw out all of your beauty products and rely on theBeauty Dust but, as a college student (and a 100% penny pincher) forking out $38 every two weeks probablyisn't going to fly(unless this stuff is seriouslyTHATamazing).
What Does theDust Look Like?
The dustitself is afine light pinkgritty powder with specks of brown. It does seem to stick together easily as my container had a few large clumps, but theyareno problembecause you can easily separate the chunksby crushing them.
What Does It Taste/Smell Like?
First and foremost, the smell. We havegotta talk about the smell because it is pretty earthy to say the least; as soon as you open the container you get hit with a whiff of....ehhh dirt?Seriouslythough, Iwould compare the smell assweet or sour dirt (with a hint of horse) that packs such a punch that it sticksto theinside of your nostrils.The second I smelled the dust,I couldn't help to think,Ohhhhh the things I do for clearskin.
Personally, I did not enjoy the flavor alone, but itdefinitelywasn’t the worst thing I've ever tasted in my life!The taste isthat ofasweeter-musty-berry mixture, pretty similar to thesmell but there wasn't a bitter flavor that stuck with you after.I found that when mixed into a smoothieor flavored tea thetaste isbarely noticeable but, whenalonein waterit can be a bit overpowering.
Does it Live up to the Hype?
Yeah, this stuff is seriouslyTHATamazing. I don't think itnecessarily made me more beautiful in three days but it did give a nice glow to my skin, didn't causeany new spots, and gave me a great positive energy throughout the day. I think maybe because I was drinking the beauty dust I thought I appearedmore attractive and that confident energy radiated to others who took notice.
When I drank the Beauty Dust the first day of mythree-day trial I wasn't really sure if I liked how it made me feel. Within 30 minutes I felt really sleepy and my stomach wasirritated;realizing that I needed to eat, as soon as I did I felt completely fine. After that Ihad an extreme amount of energy for the rest of
the day and decided that this supplement is something I will have to make sure I am taking with a good amount of food.
On the second day of drinking theBeauty Dust my husband toldme "you look extra cute today" for no apparent reason; this stood out to me because he'ssimplynot one to dish out compliments often. Another classmate, whom I've never spoken to before told me that she liked my hair. Was it the dust, or justcoincidence? ThatI'm not totally sure of, but I can say that I felt more confident, empowered, driven, and creative. Despite myinitial doubtfulness of it being nothing more than anotherInstagram trend, I really do think it works.
On the third day I cleaned my entire house top to bottom, finishedmy homework for the week, got my workout in, and did a little bit of meal prep all before noon. I feltmuchMUCH more energized than normal and that energy didn't seem to die down. I had crazy consistence energy until about 10 pm, which is unusual for me; I normallyhit alowaround 2 or 3 pm and stay that way for the rest of the day.I also got my "beauty sleep" all three nights bycompletely sleeping througha solid eight hours and waking up even before my alarm clock went off.Pretty amazing stuff.

My Final Thoughts on Moon Juice Beauty Dust
I am going to continue using theBeautyDust until the container is empty before I make a finaldecision on repurchasing. Sofar, Ilovelovelove the positive energyand the wayit helps my body to cope with stress.I get a calm relaxed feelingall day and it also gives my skin this amazing super glow from within.At this point I no longer feel like it is the placebo effect and that it really is working to make me feel great from the inside out. I've noticed way too many positive benefits,like a calmer complexion, amazing glow,andgreater creative energy- that can't just be coincidence.Moon Juice, you really hit the jackpot with this one.
