Kale Naturals Sport Body Repair Cream is perfect for very dry skin on heels, elbows and hands, and also for all-over body moisturizing needs - with it's intense hydration. Prevents itching and cracking while helping skin heal itself.

Contains peppermint oil to soothe and calm inflammation. Botanicals of aloe, soy, shea butter and Irish Moss help heal, soothe and replenish thristy, dry skin. Absorbs quickly without leaving skin feeling greasy. Does not contain parabens, petroleums, SLS, SLES.

This is a luxury men's body lotion, but that doesn't mean women can't use it - in fact, I've been using it more than my male product tester! This has a nice lightweight texture, but yet richly hydrates your skin without feeling greasy at all.

I love the peppermint scent - great for this time of year, but also year round if you're a fan of peppermint scents. It's not over whelming, so you won't smell like a candy cane to strangers across the room, but it's just peppermint enough to kind of wake you up and make you feel good.

My male product tester really liked this lotion, but did have a hard time justifying the $24 price tag. I think a lot of guys feel that way who don't really buy luxury products.

So far, everything from the Kale Naturals website has been a winner - not just in my book, but also to all my male product testers. I think this is a line worth checking out and this body repair cream would be perfect for the man in your life who wants to treat himself with a little tube of luxury body lotion.

Action Solutions For Men - new skincare line - pics, swatches & review on 5 items from the line!

Hello, Beautiful!

There is a new men's skincare line that recently launched: Action Solutions For Men. I had my male product testers try most of the line, which includes a cleanser, face scrub, shave cream, pre-shave oil, and after shave repair (there is also a Hair, Face & Body Wash, plus a Lip Action balm but didn't have those to try out at the time). With the holidays coming up soon, now is a great time to look into gifts for the man in your life - significant other, best friend, brother, father, etc. Anthony Logistics for Men developed the Action Solutions For Men product line, so you know it's backed by a great company - but the Action Solutions For Men is a more affordable line with price points averaging about $12 to $14. Check out their review on each product, plus all the product info, after the pics!

Face Cleanser

 

 

Action Solutions For Men Face Cleanser Info & Review:

Cost/Availability: $14.00 (8 fl oz full size). Available on the Action Solutions For Men website, at Drugstore.com, Duane Reade stores, and coming soon to Kohls, and everywhere else Action Solutions For Men products are sold.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses

A winning workout for your face. A refreshing combination of rose hip oil, echinacea, and calendula cleanse, moisturize and calm all in one easy action. A select white tea complex improves lipid production and works as a powerful antioxidant.

This cleanser has a nice creamy silky gel texture. It smells good too - like orange creamsicle! As for how it works, my male product testers thought it was a nice face cleanser that did a good job with no complaints. They noted you didn't need to use a whole lot to get the job done, so the price point wasn't bad.  They would recommend.

A gentle exfoliator that scrubs away dead skin cells, lifts beard hairs and releases trapped ingrown hairs. Removes dull, dry flaky skin. Lifts beard hairs and releases trapped ingrown hairs for a close shave.

This face scrub has a fine grit texture with a bright orange color. It has a  scent that was hard to describe - it was similar to the cleanser, but not so much orange creamsicle as much as just orange and something else.

It's not the most intense face scrub out there, but did enough to make their skin soft after use. Because it's not a harsh scrub, you could use this a few times a week or even daily if needed. Both my male product testers felt it was good and was happy enough with it that they'd recommend - although one of my male product testers did note that for the price point they're not sure they'd repurchase all the time because of how quickly they went through it (he used it daily - and probably used more than needed).

Action Solutions For Men
Pre-Shave Oil

 

 

Action Solutions For Men Pre-Shave Oil Info & Review:

Cost/Availability: $13.00 (2 fl oz full size). Available on the Action Solutions For Men website, at Drugstore.com, Duane Reade stores, and coming soon to Kohls, and everywhere else Action Solutions For Men products are sold.

Preparation is the name of the game. This blend of peppermint, rosemary, macadamia, and olive oils helps to soften the beard and works to guard the skin giving you a close and comfortable shaving experience. Hydrates and softens beard. Prepares and protects skin during shaving while helping to prevent razor burn.

This has a silky oil texture and smells a bit like peppermint. Only one of my male product testers tried this one out and unfortunately didn't find it to be anything amazing but it wasn't awful either. It was just an average, good product. He didn't feel it really prepared his skin/beard hair in any way, compared to shaving without it. He does have very coarse hair, so maybe if you don't have as coarse hair this would be more effective.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!

A seriously close shave. The richest, thickest cream that helps make your stubble soft and your razor glide. With vitamins B5, A, E, C and aloe to help your skin feel out of this world. Promotes a smooth close shave. Makes razor glide - not drag - over the skin. Rinses off razor easily.

This shave cream has a whipped creamy texture and a light scent - but it was hard for me to describe the scent. I wrote down a faint smell of peppermint, but I had a question mark next to it which means I couldn't fully decide on what the scent was lol.

Both my male product testers really liked this shave cream. They had no complaints and would definitely recommend!

Action Solutions For Men
After-Shave Repair

 

Action Solutions For Men After-Shave Repair Info & Review:

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses

No need to get irritated! Cool it. This greaseless, quickly absorbed emulsion moisturizes, soothes, and calms razor burn. Instantly soothes skin after shaving. Cools on contact. Reduces minor razor burn and redness while restoring skin's moisture.

This after-shave repair has a thick, creamy gel texture that has practically no scent at all. Feels cooling and refreshing when you apply, and does a good job at reducing redness. Both my male product testers were happy with this product and would recommend. On a side note, doesn't my one swatch look like a hand giving a thumbs up?

Adidas Men's Body Care: 24H Anti-Perspirant, Deo Body Spray, Hair & Body Wash - pics, swatches, reviews

Hello, Beautiful!

You can find Adidas Body Care products for men at Walmart and Target. They're really affordable at $3.47 each, and there is a good selection to choose from. They also have some for women, which I'll show you in another post coming up soon. In this post I have three Adidas Mens' Body Care products: their 24H Anti-Perspirant in Dynamic Pulse, their Deo Body Spray in Pure Game, and their Hair & Body Wash in Deep Energy. Check out my full review on each product, including all the product info, after each set of pics.

Adidas Dynamic Pulse 24H Anti-Perspirant

Adidas Dynamic Pulse 24H Anti-Perspirant Info & Review:

Cost/Availability: about $3.47 each, depending where you shop (2.8 oz full size). Available at Walmart, Target and everywhere else Adidas for men body care products are sold.

My Rating: 3 out of 5 Kisses

A solid 24-hour anti-perspirant. The Dynamic Pulse scent is a clean aromatic fragrance. Developed with athletes.

The male product tester who tried this really liked the scent of this, but if you put too much on he said it could become too strong. It did keep him dry for the most part - but his arm pits and even his arm pit hair became super dry.

He recommends applying this to your arm pits right after you get out the shower, so your arm pits are bit moist. Then again, I should mention he has really sensitive arm pits and has reactions to a lot of deodorants.

He thought this was alright, but isn't something he would pick up again only because it didn't work for his arm pits (a lot of deodorants don't). However, this may work great for you and I can also chime in and say I loved the scent!

Adidas Pure Game Deo Body Spray

 

Adidas Pure Game Deo Body Spray Info & Review:

Cost/Availability: About $3.47 depending where you shop (4 oz full size). Available at Walmart, Target and everywhere else Adidas for men body care products are sold. 

My Rating: 3 out of 5 Kisses

Feel and smell good all day with the new Adidas Body Sprays. Formulated with 24H fresh power technology, they provide an immediate cooling sensation, strong efficacy and intense fragrance experience. The bottle has a cap-free actuator, so you can just pull it out of your sports bag and spray. Developed with athletes.

The scent Pure Game is described as a green woody fragrance. To me, it smelled fresh but also was a manly fragrance - if you know what I mean. To my male product tester he felt it smelled like something from Axe - it was a bit strong, but still wearable if used sparingly.

Other scents are available; in fact I think there are 8 scents avilable.

As far as how it performs, he felt it was okay - nothing extraordinary, but also better than just average. It did feel cold to him when he sprayed it on, but didn't find it extremely refreshing. It does spray out kind of fast, so it's easy to over-do the scent - so he warns you to be careful and use a light hand when spraying this on.

He recommends using this more as a body spray and not as a deodorant spray - something more to use to freshen up throughout the day, if needed. He also recommends using it to spray in your shoes or clothing.

Adidas Deep Energy Hair & Body Wash

 

Adidas Deep Energy Hair & Body Wash Info & Review:

Cost/Availability: About $3.47 depending where you shop (13.5 fl oz full size). Available at Walmart, Target and everywhere else Adidas for men body care products are sold. 

My Rating: 4 out of 5 Kisses

A concentrate of energy feeling for a passionate man looking for vivifying sensations. The Deep Energy scent is described as a woody ambery fragrance. Enriched with ginseng and developed with athletes.

Use on your body and your hair - making this a great travel product for guys who don't want to pack a bunch of stuff.

My male product tester thought the scent was okay - a bit strong, but for a body wash it was okay. The scent doesn't stick around for long after a shower, so you'll be able to apply whatever other cologne or something you want after it without mixing fragrance.

Other scents are available; I believe there are 9 in total.

He felt you needed to use a lot of this to get yourself clean; between himself, his father and his son they used up 75% of the bottle in under a week! But I guess that also means they liked it. You do get a bunch in here - you get 13.5 fl oz.

However, he did specifically mention it dried out his hair and he did not like it for his hair and wouldn't recommend. Keep in mind everyone's hair type is different so it may work perfectly fine for you! He has coarse, curly hair that is a bit dry to begin with.

I think 2-in-1 products are great for travel and I think this is a great choice for guys who want to smell like a guy and save time!

Kale Naturals Foaming Face Wash & Bamboo Face Scrub - pics, swatches, reviews

Hello, Beautiful!

I've recently discovered a really great men's skin care line, called Kale Naturals. I got a few products, two of which are in this post, and they are all minty fresh in scent. All their products are vegan and free of harsh chemicals, and made entirely in the USA! They also perform beautifully too, at least from my male product testers I've gotten nothing but glowing reviews. Check out their reviews below, including all the product info, after each set of pics!

Kale Naturals Foaming Face Wash

 

Kale Naturals Foaming Face Wash Info & Review:

Cost/Availability: $19.00 (3.4 fl oz full size). Available on the Kale Naturals website, at Nordstrom, at select Neiman Marcus locations, and everywhere else Kale Naturals products are sold. Click here to find a retailer near you.

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses

Light, calming cleanser designed for daily use. Formulated with Lycopene to enhance skins ability to produce collagen and fight the signs of aging. Oat, white tea and rhodiola provide anti-oxidant benefits. It has a Wild Mint Scent.

This has a nice mint scent that smells refreshing and feels refreshing on your skin. Gets skin feeling clean without over drying. It has a liquid-gel texture that foams up nicely.

My male product tester said he felt it got his face clean and the scent was invigorating, especially when used in the shower; helped to wake him up in the morning. He liked it and would recommend!

Kale Naturals Bamboo Face Scrub

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!

Natural, sustainable bamboo scrub and cleanser exfoliates and reduces fine lines. Vitamin E provides anti-aging and replenishing benefits. Jojoba and aloe soften skin. Wild Mint cools, refreshes and revitalizes.

This has a really nice mint scent that smells refreshing and my skin felt refreshed when I used this -- and yes, confession: I totally used this for myself, even though its a male skincare product. I couldn't resist the scent, texture and even the color -- it all pulled me in and I loved it!

But let's hear from an actual male user on what he thought...

He liked that the scrub was gentle with a fine grit and the natural bamboo. Said his face was soft and smooth afterwards and he loved the mint scent.

We both felt it looked like melted mint chocolate chip ice cream, which made us hungry and now just typing that out I'm craving a scoop of it!

Overall, we were both impressed with this scrub and would recommend!
