Sorta random journal, but I'm not sure where else I can probably get a good wide net for this haha. I've never bought their soaps before, and am thinking of doing so since I have some extra money to treat myself right now. :3 I wanted to ask about how well the caffeine actually works, ie does it actually feel after like you've drank a cup of coffee, an energy drink, not as strong as either of those?
I don't use caffeine too often really, maybe a few times a month, so I'm trying to decide if it'd be better to just do decaf or if the caffeine experience is worthwhile without being too intense.
And secondly I wanted to see if anybody has tried some of the scents I'm interested in, and how well they linger on the skin since that's what I mostly want out of them and not the caffeine haha.
Scents I'm thinking of getting: Applejack/Apple Orchard, Supermint, Tiki Giraffe, Creamsicle, Blackberry, and Yuzu if I do the 6 pack one. I might just stick with three though for now so its not as costly a purchase. c: The only one I've heard good things about so far is Blackberry, so that's a definite one on my list.
Any help with this is appreciated~
Edit: Placed my order earlier, decided to go decaf since I'm mostly wanting the nice scent feature, and also managed to find a discount code for it too. I think I'll pick up a caffeinated one to try out in a couple of months at FC '13 since I didn't get one this time around. I chose creamsicle, blackberry, and supermint! :3

My only real complaint about the soap is it feels like there is not enough moisturizer in them, and it often leaves my skin feeling very dry after the soap is washed off. My boyfriend felt the same way.
BUT they do work and the scents are nice. I haven't personally tried any of those, but the ones I have were really nice.
I wonder if the caffeine is a part of what makes it dry out the skin a bit, due to the absorption process? So maybe decaf wouldn't have the same issue... /hmm
I've tried Sugar Candy, Butter cream Cupcake, Root Beer, and Pineapple Paprika. I have a few unopened, Painted Dog Pumpkin, Chai, and Mr Pepper that I still need to use up but I like the scents :3 My boyfriend has the Creamsicle and Maple Sugar.
I use Contact soaps for the skin benefits rather than the "pick-me-up." I do feel more awake after I use the soaps but with me it's hard telling whether it has to do with the shower or the soap in particular. My favorite scents that I've tried so far are Sapphire Dragon and Restoration.
Quick set of my thinking.
1. Yes you feel the caffeine but not every time, but more often then not. This also depends on if you lather up your body/how long it sits on you/how hot the water is.
2. USE A SHOWER POOF! (Look it up!, makes your soaps last longer and helps spread the soap much better!)
3. Pick a Scent that you are going to want to smell like for more then 3-5 hours because they do work and work well! (Happiest Husky here!)
4. Shower with hot water for a better/stronger caffeine, the hotter the water the more your blood pumps,pours open, ect.
5. I stand by them and the product they make and think everyone should give them a try.
6 Final thing, even non-coffee drinkers will enjoy the soap and the clean feeling it gives you. (not slime/oily feeling)
Try them out and tell them Hallet sent ya!
