Kiss My Face Pure Coconut Milk Soap Review

So my foray into the world of bar soaps that aren't from Dove continues! This time I spotted a delectable sounding bar soap from Kiss My Face which is the pure coconut milk soap. I love coconuts and the nourishing properties of coconut milk so I couldn't wait to lather up with this soap!

Claims from the packaging: Cleanse and indulge your skin with 86% pure Coconut Milk soap known for its hydrating benefits. Perfect for all skin types!

I bought this bar soap online at Well.ca for $4.49. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it so I just purchased one bar for reviewing purposes.

Here's the ingredients list and sure enough there is a lot of coconut in this soap! Coconut oil, glycerin from coconuts and of course coconut milk. I was intrigued at the fact that sea salt was in there as well as fragrance.

It doesn't smell like coconuts. It actually smells a lot more like lime with a hint of creamy softness. The smell is very soft, not at all overwhelming. It's not very strong which is what I expected from a naturally sourced fragrance. I like it!

Here's the bar in my hand so you can see how large it is. It's pretty big! A lot bigger then the largest of my Dove soaps.

It lathers really well. You're left with big, fluffy, creamy clouds of lather. It feels incredible on my skin. Creamy and hydrating and very nourishing. The sad part comes once I wash it off. It gives my skin that same feeling of squeaky tightness! I know that might not be a deal breaker for some, but it's important to me. I like my bar soaps to be like solid slabs of body wash, I expect them to leave my skin with that same feeling of creaminess after I rinse myself clean.

Likes:

1. It's a large bar!
2. It smells really nice!
3. It's full of coconut milk and coconut oil
4. Affordable

Dislikes:

1. The feeling of squeaky tightness it leaves my skin with!

GOOD TO GO The Body Shop Honeymania Bar Soap Review

I received this soap bar as a christmas gift and I was really looking forward to trying it. I love honey in my bath and body products (it makes me feel so luxurious!) So I had high hopes for this bar soap.

Claims from The Body Shops website: This honeycomb-shaped soap has a cute bee at its centre. It has a rich, floral scent and contains Community Fair Trade honey made from the nectar of over 1,000 wildflowers. Lather up for skin that feels silky soft.

Isn't that bee shape adorable? I just love it. It cost $4.00 for 100g. The honeymania soap is also shaped differently then the other Body Shop bar soaps and I think that it was a smart choice that makes the product stand out.

This soap doesn't smell like honey at all, it's got a light floral scent. I feel like I would have preferred it to have a more sweet, gourmand scent but the floral smell has grown on me. It doesn't linger on the skin afterwards unfortunately.

The soap lathers up easily and feels so silky and smooth on my skin. When I rinse, I encounter problems. My skin gets this squeaky, dry feeling afterward. I can't deal with that. Sure you're supposed to moisturize after a shower but I shouldn't feel as though the soap I'm using is drying out my skin. While I like the scent and the presentation, I'm not going to use this soap on my body. Like all failed soaps I buy, it's going to become a hand soap.

Likes:

1. The floral scent is light and pretty
2. The presentation of the soap is superb
3. The soap does a good job of actually getting me clean

Dislikes:
1. It makes my skin feel so dry!
