Candice S.Nobody likes dull, ashy, dry, problematic or lifeless looking skin. Especially during the winter. Yeah it may be covered up right now but baby when you take those layers off…don’t scare them! Do something about your winter skin. *the products in this post were sent to me for free by Moody Sisters in exchange for my honest opinion on their performance.
The title of this post fits perfectly with my latest review. But I can’t take credit for it. I got it from the subject line of an email I received from Moody Sisters. When they approached me about reviewing some of their products I thought, Wow! Any women that are willing to punch winter skin in the face must be pissed off enough to really do something effective about it 😀
That was late October, when I got that email. Since then I’ve been testing some products from the Moody Sisters skin care product line and I’m here to share the results of my experience.
Moody Sisters Skincare Review
About The Brand – Moody Sisters is a natural/organic bath and body brand created by 2 moody sisters, Jess & Whitney. They create skin care products made to suit your specific needs such as vegan, gluten-free, mature skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, oily/combo skin and more. Most of their products are handmade in small batches.
Price $2 – $68
My Observations – I love the way my products arrived. The shipping was fast and everything was neatly packed and presented well. My box also came with a few extra samples to try. Oh yeah!
So the products I received to test were the Mandarin Vanilla Body Scrub and the Rich Hand and Body Cream in Mandarin Vanilla.
The Mandarin Vanilla Body Scrub $28 worked great and provided excellent smoothness and moisture. I did find the grain of the sugar to be a little harder than I’m used to using on my body. But since scrubs aren’t something I’d use everyday, it’s not that big of a deal. I will likely stick to using this one on my legs and feet in the future though. The Mandarin and Vanilla scent is fresh and invigorating for those of you that love citrus blends.
The Mandarin Vanilla Rich Hand & Body Cream $24 is really nice. They weren’t kidding when they said this is perfect for winter skin. It’s rich in butters, oils and skin loving vitamins. It also has aloe vera juice in it, which is great for attracting moisture to the skin. I would recommend using this after your bath or shower. I would have preferred to try this in Mint Mocha, because me and cocoa are bae, but they were low on that particular scent at the time 🙁 Always a silver lining though, the Moody Sisters did send me a sample size to try and I’m sold! 
My absolute favorite product of the bunch wasn’t full-sized. I fell in love with the Chai Whipped Lotion $14. It’s on the list for my next bath & body purchases. That lotion smells delicious! The aroma is just like a cup of fresh hot chai. The consistency of the lotion is light and penetrates pretty quickly, so it’s great to use anytime during your day.
I also received a sample of Lemongrass & Mint Body Serum $26. The scent is beautiful. Sort of reminds me of a lemon drop. The packaging says “a little goes a long way”, which it true. This sample was enough to moisturize my arms and legs and then some. I probably would buy this specifically for my hands or to give life to dry ankles. It penetrates leaving no oily or greasy feel whatsoever.
Grade
Overall I really enjoyed these products and the prices of the products are similar to what I’m used to spending on natural bath & beauty. The packaging/shipping was excellent. I’m not a big fan of the body scrub, because I can’t use it on my entire body. But I am SUPER impressed with the Chai whipped lotion and love how well it penetrates. That is a product I plan on buying in the future. The body cream tackles any and all dry skin issues, just as claimed. So if dry skin is an issue, you need this in your life. The body serum while a bit pricey imo, does absorb quickly and the Lemongrass & Mint scent is amazing. I’d buy it as a splurge item.
My combined grade for all of these natural skin care products is a B+

Moody sisters is a great name! I haven’t heard of them but I am definitely going to check it out!
Thanks Donna! Make sure to grab the free samples for new email subscribers at MoodySisters.com/tryme and let us know what you think! xoxo
I will treat myself. My winter skin needs help.
Good for you!! We’d love to know what you think.
I don’t have dry skin, but I am obsessed with skincare for both face and body. These products sound amazing. I’ve never used a body serum. Thanks for the giveaway!
My skin stays so dry in the winter, so I’ll definitely going to try the whipped lotion for my problematic feet (lol). The mandarin vanilla scrub and lotion sound heavenly. Mandarin is my favorite.
Kirstin– the Rich Hand & Body Cream would be killer for your feet!! I use it daily during the winter on my super dry skin.
I love this box cover! I love treating myself. These products are amazing.
Thanks Tanya! xoxo
I entered this giveaway days ago because honey, I love a good scrub and cream!
Yaaassssss! Love me some body scrubbin’.
I love the name Moody Sisters, it makes me smile for some reason. I need to treat myself and my skin a lot better.
At first I thought they made products for Moody Sisters LOL….I was like, “How did they know I was a moody sistah?” 😀
Haha — I’d like to think we’re all moody sisters! Moody… a shared experience for all women that transcends generations and skin color bringing us as close as family. Am I right?! 😉
These products sound great! Winter has not been kind to my skin!
I love, scrubs. The scents are usually so amazing.
Thanks for sharing your product review with us, Candice. I love supporting small businesses that cater to those of us with ashy skin. 🙂 I hadn’t heard of Moody Sisters until now. Excellent review!
Michelle- we love small business supporters 🙂 Thanks for your encouragement. xoxo
Thanks so much for doing this giveaway! These would be great gifts
Honey, this winter is giving my skin the blues. I have been having to do moisturizing scrubs every other evening. I have never heard of Moody Sisters though. I will have to check them out. Thanks for offering the giveaway!
Good for you keeping up with scrubbing and moisturizing! It’s the only way to survive these dry winters and you just have to be super diligent about it.
I love products like these! One of my goals next year is to treat myself more often! it’s a part of my self care!
Yes, I love that goal!
I used to have my own bath and body business and I love seeing sister doing their thang! Sounds soothing.
I did too Stacie, so I really appreciate handmade or small batch bath & body products.
That butter sounds awesome! My winter skin isnt as bad in NC as it was in OH, but it still needs a little extra love!
Isn’t that crazy how different areas can be on your skin? Keep up on that hydration!
I love products like these! I need to buy more skincare items because the winters are brutal here in Cleveland.
I hear ya Carissa! Winters can be so awful with the dry air. My poor hands get it the worst so I use the Rich Body Cream on them at least twice a day to keep them soft.
I’m going to treat my friend. She’s had a stressful year and could use some pampering so she’d love this.
Carol that is so sweet of you! I love encouraging friends. Keep doing it! Even a special little note would surely brighten their day.

I would more than likely treat myself! 🙂

My skin is so dry, I’ll probably keep most of it for myself.
Mainly, I will treat my mom.
I would like to treat myself. I am always looking out for others during this time of year and I think its my turn.
I think I really want to try these products myself.
Ohhhh, I will be treating myself!!
I think I’d keep this for myself.
I’d treat myself. There’s not a lot of time for me to do spa-type stuff for me, and this sounds fantastic.
Ain’t that the truth! I am totally with you! We like to bring the spa to you and keep it simple for your busy life.
These products look amazing!!! This time of year my skin cries out for moisture! Can’t wait to win and try them out LMAO
Oh…and they have stuff for Vegans…hint, hint!
I’m going to treat myself as I need to work on my skincare!
Nothing wrong with treating yourself! I would 🙂
