New! "Kiss My Face Organic Skin Care Line" Review and Give-Away

Hey girls (and guys)!!  It’s give-away time here at Gathering Home.  Just send us your top five skin-care rituals by April 30, 2009 and you could win the full line of Potent and Pure, the new organic skin-care line from Kiss My Face (12 products!!), along with six Lip Shimmers and six Lip Shines from the new SOS (Sheer Organic Shimmers) by Kiss My Face. The winner’s name will be picked out of a sun hat (gotta protect that skin, right?) on May 5, 2009. Good luck everyone!  

Kiss My Face has been in the natural body care business for the past 25 years.  I’ve been using their products for about 15 years and loving the Lime Moisture Shave, Organic Filthy Rich Moisturizer, lip balms, foot scrub, the amazing aroma of their Grapefruit and Bergamot self-foaming soap, and the comforting and clearing aroma of their Cold and Flu shower Gel, among other products.

I jumped at the chance to offer my readers the full line of Kiss My Face Potent & Pure – an organic facial care system that I’ve been using for about a week. (Thanks, Sarah!) These products make skin care an experience to be enjoyed.  The Creamy Face Cleanser felt like velvet going on, the aroma of the Under Age Moisturizer took my breath away – it is just so soothing.  I’m already a big fan of Ester –C and it’s use in skin care products so I know I’ll be happy with the results of Ester C Serum.  My girls are working with the Exfoliating Face Wash, the Deep Cleaning mask, the Botanical Acne Gel, and the facial Crème with Sunscreen. They report great results from all. I’m on to the Brightening Day Crème and the Intensive Repair Night Cream next!  I don’t think I’ll be disappointed.
