Review: Kiss My Face Rosemary Melon Hand Soap

What They Say: "The calm and cleanliness of organic Rosemary and Melon in your hands."

Jen's Experience: I have always used Bath and Body Works hand soaps, but I've been trying to go a little more organic lately, and I picked up this hand soap on a recent trip to Whole Foods. I love this scent; it's the same one in their body moisturizer that I love so. The foaming was new to me (it's similar to dishwashing liquid that foams when you pump it), but it allows the tiniest bit of liquid to really work. It's been a great addition to my kitchen sink area, and I would highly recommend it for someone looking for a natural product to place beside your bathroom or kitchen sink.

Retail Price: $7.00 (KissMyFace.com or Whole Foods Market)

Sudz by Kiss My Face Organic Shower Gels

What They Say: "Kiss My Face, a pioneer and leader in natural and organic personal care products, brings consumers a joyful, creamy, preservative-free latger at the sink or in the tub with Sudz by Kiss My Face, and organic line of essential bath products. FOAM-ulated with organic botanicals and essential oils, the Sudz line includes a bar soap, shower gel and self-foaming soap in four tempting scents. Each yummy formulation, "in the pink", "sports complex", "c-weed", and "rough seas", takes care of more than just cleaning up your act. The different scents and ingredients have unique benefits to address a variety of skin care needs."

Jen's Experience: I've been trying out two of Kiss My Face's new organic shower gels, "in the pink" and "sports complex", over the past month, and I would have to say I have some mixed emotions about these.

First off, the scent. It's very strong, and I guess that's good when I am trying to wake up in the morning, but...well, they're really just not my style. On the other hand, they do smell very clean, and the scent washes clean away, so there's no lingering aroma once the shower is complete. I don't think the scents are bad necessarily, but I do think that you should smell them before purchasing.

Secondly, I didn't find them to lather easily, even when I used a bath sponge. But, that said, I did feel clean when I showered with them. (Especially the "in the pink" flavor. The alpha hydroxy acids in that one give a nice tingle.) Plus, they didn't irritate my skin a bit, and instead left it feeling moisturized even after my shower as complete.

Can you see why I'm conflicted? I think I'd be thrilled with them if I loved the scents. If you see them in your local market, take a whiff. If you're into the scent, then you may be their newest fan.

Retail Price: $7.95 (Amazon, Whole Foods, and Wild Oats)

Review: Kiss My Face Almost Butter Organic Moisturizer

What They Say: "Quench your skin's thirst with this hydrating moisturizer. The combination of certified organic jojoba oil, olive oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter will leave your skin pampered and fully satisfied."

Jen's Experience: I like using Kiss My Face products in general because of their extensive use of natural ingredients and their stance against animal testing. But this product brings my love to an all-new level. Here's a body moisturizer that is designed for dry skin that really works without leaving my skin greasy at all. You may notice when you apply it that the white lotion doesn't really sink in all that quickly, but given a few minutes, it soaked in and left my legs feeling silky smooth. And did I mention the smell? Really fantastic. Bottom line? This body moisturizer is a winner for my dry skin, and I think for anyone out there with normal to dry skin that this is a product you will love.

Retail Price: $10.00 (Kiss My Face)

ONBody Moisturizer by Kiss My Face

What They Say: "ONBody Moisturizer gets you going in the am; picks you up in the pm. Smooth it ON and feel a burst of energy."

Jen's Experience: I picked up two tubes of moisturizer Kiss My Face's new Obsessively Natural collection at Old Navy recently. I got the nicely sized sample sizes, which are perfect for your work or gym bag. The flavors I chose after a great deal of deliberation were Green Tea + Mint and their White Chocolate + Orange, which is so incredibly delicious smelling I want to eat it. I've been using the moisturizers mostly on my hands. They get really dry, but normally I hate the sticky feeling I get with moisturizers. Not this one. It soaks in quickly, leaving my hands moisturized but not tacky, so I can keep working. Right now, Old Navy has their ONBody collection on sale for 30% off, which puts these sample sizes at only 70 cents a piece! With a price like that, I may have to go back and get some more!

Retail Price: $1.00 for sample sizes

Every product contains ingredients like Olive Oil, which stimulates new cell generation, tightens and tones, slows the development of wrinkles and creases, and contains anti-inflammatory properties, and shea butter, which prevents dehydration, restores suppleness, and improves the appearance of dry skin.

Jen's Experience: It was really hard for me to find any information about this product at all, but that's okay because this is less of a review and more of a warning. This product might be a little more tolerable if I had picked up the white chocolate + orange flavor that I so dearly love as a moisturizer, but the Mango flavor that I ended up with is just terrible. It tastes like that one flavor in the pack of Tropical Fruit Lifesavers that's just weird and doesn't improve no matter how many times you try it. And it's not even a very good lip balm.

Retail Price: $2.00 (Old Navy stores)
