AROMA OF COFFEE
My mom loves coffee. Since she was around 30, she would always enjoy a cup every morning, afternoon and evening until ‘WhatsApp forwards’ changed her mind eventually. Now, she has a cup of caffeine only once a day. So, when I first heard of the coffee and cocoa products from mCaffeine, I wondered if I would really enjoy them as I’ve sniffed this particular aroma for years. I was sure I was saturated.
When I first tried their body lotion a couple of years ago, it made me nostalgic. Of course, it wasn’t exactly like a steaming cup of coffee, but this was only because the lotion was cool.
Body polishing kit
Latte Coffee Face Moisturizer
The rest of them were complimentary
They have oils, shampoos, bathing bars, foot scrubs, under-eye cream, scalp scrubs, etc.
They also have gift sets but I found them a bit pricey. For example, the Coffee Beans gift kit. While the bathing bars are complimentary with some other purchases, the Coffee Beans gift kit (with 3 bars), after discount, costs Rs. 875/-. They also normally come in a set of 3 which costs Rs. 765. So, personally, I would prefer buying only the products and creating a customized hamper myself, but then, to each his own. If you like their gift box, you will definitely want to buy their gift kits.
Their products are all vegan, cruelty-free and PETA certified. They are also free from SLS, Paraben and Mineral Oil. They are dermatologically tested as well as FDA-approved.
The ingredients include caffeine which is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant rich, thereby, aiding in repair and strengthening of the skin. Shea and cocoa butter combats dryness and moisturizes the skin. Ceramide helps to lock in the moisture of the skin. Almond milk helps soothe the skin. Coconut oil helps to soften the skin. Argan oil adds a healthy glow and Vitamin E nourishes the skin.
It is pretty simple. Just browse, select all the products you want, go to your cart and order. Sometimes, they have some pretty good freebies that come along with your purchases, so, I would suggest that you take your time and browse through the website before you place your final order.
I did not find anything that needed to be improved, except maybe they could make their gift kits a little bit more attractive and include smaller versions of other products in them, so that it looks full and does not feel like the customer is paying for the box.
My stuff arrived in a sturdy cardboard box. I absolutely love their range of products and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the aroma of coffee, cocoa or caramel. When used, the skin does feel soft without making it greasy or sticky. The cream absorbs well into the skin and keeps it smooth for a long time. The scrub feels like it is cleaning every part of the skin it is rubbed on. I enjoy pampering myself with the body polishing kit during and after my shower. I have not used the complimentary items as yet but will do so as soon as my current products are finished.

I’ve heard a lot about MCaffeine products but never tried them. I’m sure I’ll love them though since I’m a huge coffee addict!
I love the aroma of coffee. And this product looks great!
I have tried Mcaffeine products earlier and just can’t get over the aroma the products have of coffee. Can’t wait to try this product Cindy.
Mcaffeine is one of my favorite skincare brands. Love using their products. Thanks for your honest review
oh wow that’s awesome Sindhu!
Coffee has so many benefits and if the same richness comes in beauty product then it is so good to use, shall check these for sure.
Coffee works great for skin and hair but only for few people. It has never suited my skin. Thanks for sharing honest review
Oh is it.. okay!
I Love the aroma of coffee. This is the first time I am hearing this brand name. I would love to try these products.
I love the smell of coffee but never used coffee products. These look like a must-try. I will surely check them out.
I don’t like coffee or its smell. I dont even drink it for that very same reason. 😀
Ouch, these products are definitely not for you then. Hehe!
I would have loved to try this out. But unfortunately, I am allergic to coffee. Even a whiff gives me a horrible migraine. I would surely be recommending it to friends who are coffee lovers.
Wow that bad ah? Stay away from these then. They do have green tea infused products too though.
I use Mcaffein soap bars and scrub. The fragrance is so coffee-licious that I start craving for good cuppa coffee;)
A good brand and I received a decent gift-pack with the Mcaffein soap bars.
True! Enjoy!
I love coffee and it’s aroma but have never tried in beauty products but because of my love for coffee would like to give it a try!
I’m a coffee lover… Whether it’s about drinking a cup of coffee or enjoying the the aroma of coffee… I really wanna use this product for myself.
I am using Mcaffeine from long and I loved their body polishing kit. The aroma of Coffee and the perfect tan removal system are the one I loved most.
Oh wow tan removal is one I’ve not used.
I love coffee too. But I have never tried skin lotions with coffee flavors. Will try these out as they are cruelty free also. Thanks for the information.
I have tried MCaffeine products and found them to be very superior. I don’t like the fragrance of coffee in my beauty products though.
Yeah some of my friends prefer just drinking coffee, too.
This body polishing kit is really good for soft and smooth texture. I’ve also received those complementary minis. I’ve kept them to use in our next holiday trip 🙂.
Hehehe yes me too! Hehe1
Interesting…shall recommend it to friends who use all such products….I stick to a suited cream for my face and trusted hand creams…haven’t used make-up till there’ a sword to my throat which was by a few close friends on the day of my book launches, apart from that I remain very much the ‘real’ me – inside out!!!😉
yeah that is good but I use kajal so I dont look sleepy and bored (for meetings)… and lipsticks…
I love coffee!! Will definately check this product out…not sure wether it will reduce my craving for coffee or increase it 😃…love the pics of u and craving sushi after reading ur profile 😇
Hahahaha oh I just ordered in sushi last week… couldn’t wait any longer!!
Living in Chennai from the last seven years has made me a die hard coffee lover. I can’t survive without coffee! I have heard about a lot of skin benefts of coffee but have never used any coffee product for my skin. This brand looks really nice.. will definitely try it soon
Did you tell me coffee!?? Ahhaaa, I always love to use things with coffee flavor. This seems to be added to my list. Thanks for sharing Cindy.
As a true blue South Indian i love my coffee. The aroma of coffee always fills me with a sense of well being. I have tried other coffee products but none by this brand. Usually coffee products cleanse very well….the polishing kit sounds promising.
Love the packaging and the look of the product but I am not a great fan of any beauty products with coffee as a base. I relish it only in food items. Very honest review.
Hahaha I’m the opposite… I dont like it in any food… on my skin its awesome… inside my mouth no no… hahaha
Yes, I, too, love the aroma of coffee. Although first time hearing the product’s name, your review shows it deserves to be tried once. Usually, I don’t switch to any product so easily, will surely check this out.
Yes, I do enjoy the aroma of coffee 🙂 I would love to use the body scrub sometime.
