I have been using the Jack Black First Class Five kit for about two weeks straight and I finally have a chance to write this review now that the holidays are over. Sorry for the long wait!
I will start with the body/hair and face wash. When I opened the bottle for the first time I loved the subtle scent that was kind of citrusy. I used it as a body wash and a shampoo and I would have to say I was very impressed with how well it worked as both. I felt clean and even a bit refreshed after using it.
The shaving balm worked very well even though I hadn't shaved in a few days. I didn't notice a strong scent at all when I opened it and after using it for two weeks I still think it provides a great shave--very close and didn't leave me with horrible razor rash. I have sensitive skin and tend to get razor burn easily.
When it comes to the face moisturizer, I have honestly loved it since the first time I used it last year. It doesn't take much to get the job done and it leaves your face feeling awesome.
I always have dark circles under my eyes because of my job; it's just a fact of life. I started using the eye balm the day I opened the kit and have used it almost every day since. I think it's a great product. It didn't burn or sting when I got it in my eye once--not intentional just to be clear. I feel like the dark circles under my eyes have started to go away more so than with any other eye product I have used. I wouldn't say they're gone, but there's definitely a subtle difference--I always find it kind of hard to judge a product like this though.
I have saved the best for last. The lip balm is truly amazing! I have never been a real fan of using lip products as a guy since I can't stand the feeling of wearing something on my lips. However, I have used this daily since I tried it because it doesn't leave your lips feeling greasy like a regular chapstick might. It is mint flavored (they do offer other flavors as well). The mint isn't overpowering and makes your lips tingle just a bit at first, but leaves them hydrated and smooth after a few minutes. This is a great product to have, especially during the winter!
Overall, I give this kit 4 thumbs up. I am now a very big fan of the Jack Black line. I really want to try out their muscle mend set and see how that works. If I get the opportunity to I'll definitely report my experience here.
Cost of the kit: $49.00 retail
