- Scent: The Pineapple Enzyme is my fave scent of course, but I also really liked the Cool Cucumber one. As for the Honey & Rosehip- I was not a fan at all! However, I did get it in my mouth somehow, and it does taste like honey (IDK, don't ask LOL).

- Verdict: I loved that all 3 of these scored a BIG FAT ZERO on EWG's Skin Deep (woo-hoo!) and also that I could get these as a sample set to compare and see which worked best for my skin. As for now- I didn't like the Honey & Rosehip one at all other than the taste (ha ha) and the fact that it makes your skin feel like velvet. I just feel like it didn't do anything for me as far as cleansing. I think that may be a better choice for people who like something along the lines of cream cleansers. Maybe it will grow on me. I will keep using it and update if my feelings change. I'm still torn between the Pineapple Enzyme (smells so yummy) and the Cool Cucumber (so very soothing). I really like both and love the way all three made my skin feel afterwards! I do have to admit though that I was a little disappointed- none of them completely removed all of my makeup by themselves (including the Honey & Rosehip one). It did get most of it off including conventional liquid eyeliner and mascara- but left traces of my eyeshadow and foundation behind :( weird, right? So I tried using organic Jojoba or Olive Oil to remove my makeup first, then washed my face- and worked like a charm! I hate having to use makeup remover though, natural or not. One, it adds an extra step to my beauty routine, and two, because if I have to put my contact lenses back in afterwards it really bothers my eyes! Overall, I would purchase either the Pineapple Enzyme or the Cool Cucumber one again. Keep the new products, sample packs, and trial sizes coming Bubble and Bee!
