Those look really nice...congratulations

SoapFreak has really put alot of pressure on us...

She has hasn't she?

Today 12:40 PMLivelovebathOh very fun! I too am just waiting on my micas to play with some dotted soap... Soapfreak has really steped up us soapers lol.

I love how these turned out and the thin layer in the middle of colour is very nice accent. Great job hun!

Oh I cannot WAIT until I get mine as well, hopefully today-I tracked those buggers and they are here in town so they'd BETTER be delivered today, so I can PLAY TONIGHT!

The Scent is Wildberry Musk from Peak-soaped like a dream!

Thanks for the compliments.

Yummm They look like iced lemon bars! Is that salt sprinkled on top? That's a nice finishing touch!

I really like these!

Ok, thought I would try some sort of design, but didn't know if it would work since my colored portions usually get so thick. I took Barb's advice and added a bit of water to it and it helped a LOT (thanks Barb! ).

I decided to make some polka dots, and using a a bulb syringe (the kind they give out when kids get medicine) and it worked pretty good, not great like SoapFreak's masterpieces, but it's a start!

Whaddya think?

Yummie!

I never have a problem using a big knife on my cp logs.

If they still smell, can't you just create room sprays with them?

If they're old, sometimes the scent will change/sour, and believe me you'll know it when you smell it.

Definitely don't want to use those stanky FO's for ANYTHING! *Barf*

I've never made them, but have tried one and I didn't like it.

The one I rec'd was "scrubby", I mean I could definitely feel the salt.

I can also tell you that shaving and salt bars do not go well together! OUCHIE-the burning!!!!!

And salt is drying to the skin-hence the reason one of the posters said it works wonders on her zits.

I guess I just don't see the good of them. I'd much rather use a moisturizing sugar scrub.

Sorry for no paragraph breaks in the previos post, don't know what's going on-they were there as I typed but gone after sumitting. ??Hey Vio, where the heck do you get 101oz. OO for $10.99??? WoW I'm jealous!I am in desperate need of some soaping oils myself but money is an issue for me as well right now-sucks huh? :(I really miss my babassu, I truly hope CF gets it in soon (by april 4th).I'm super jealous of all of you that can get soaping oils locally and so cheaply-not fair! I live in such a small town they never have anything and the things we do have here are not cheap since there's no competition. :(I've never used avocado oil in soap but I LOVE it in my sugar scrub!

WOW I'm learning a TON from this thread- from using different oils to how many 7lbm jugs will fit in one CF box! :DGran- thanks for that info. Especially the estimated shipping, since I'm also in CA and really need to order some oils, that is really great to know.Also, on the palm, from what I understand, if you DON'T have the no stir type, you should be stirring it each time (if it gets slushy to liquidy) b/c the stearic will separate from it.HTH

I just realized that the 23rd is Easter-bummer!

I will be out of town. I guess I'll just have to follow along to the tutorial on my own, when I get back.

That is, if I can find some place to buy KOH without having to buy a shitload of it-geesh!

Hey, do I win a bar of that soap since I named it?

Hey that looks almost just like mine! I do the same thing-coloring the turbinado sugar and sprinkling it on top!

GREAT job!

Oh, what's it scented?

Yep, you're hooked-just like the rest of us! Welcome to our cult! LOL

I want a ylang ylang soap-I just love that scent!

Just so you know Sally, you don't have to use a stainless steel bowl for CP soaping. You can use glass, which is what I use (actually mine is a glass sauce pot, so it has a handle which really helps while pouring. ).

I'm confused!

How much does it cost you to make one of these, including packaging, ink, etc. With your time figured in and without?

Personally, although the packaging would draw me to your products (from a consumers POV), I think the box is actually a waste for a votive.

I just think about the fact that as soon as someone buys that it goes into the trash (or recycle bin, if one does indeed recycle chipboard).

WOW very very nice boxes!

Aren't they expensive though especially in the aspect of being for a votive?

Did you have these professionally done or did you make them?

I see that you have the scent name and description on there also, which would add to the cost (at least time wise etc.).

I DO love them though!

The newer one is called, "L de Lolita Lempicka".

My review was for the original, "Lolita Lempicka" that WSP discontinued.

Ok cool and thanks for the review.

If you make it more of a slurry, it's going to be harder to get out of the jar and harder to keep in your hands.Have you tried making an emulsified scrub?Mine is really thick, yet ver creamy, maybe something like that would satisfy both yourself and those that are wanting something a little more "moist". ??Just curious, do your oils settle on the top so that you have to mix it into the sugar for each application?Maybe not since you said you're not using that much oil. I'm pretty sure you will get that though if you add more oils to make it into a slurry.Not sure if that would be a negative issue for YOU-I for one can't stand that, hence the reason I tried the emulsified, and loved it so much I never looked back!

It is exact.

ETA:

My comment is for the original not the newer "L" ...

HUH? What does this mean? Did they reformulate it or what? OR, are you talking about the perfume? I know they have a newer one out, but I thought it was called something else. ??

OOOOH AHHHHHH very very pretty! Thanks for finally posting it.

Love the "stone henge" set up ya got goin' on there. LOL

So, no problems with the honeysuckle huh?

I may just have to brave it myself-been hesitant b/c of so many saying it's a b*tch to work with, but it's one of my daughter's fav. scents at this time of year.

Did you use this yet? I'm anxious to hear how the "red" silk did in your soap?

Did the color actually color your soap? I would think it would since it's obviously dyed silk.

Yah, I wanna see them dang it! That's just being a big ol' tease!

I wanna see what I have to look forward to IF Donna ever gets them all divvied up!! Just kidding Donna!

Also, I had heard that honeysuckle was a known seizer, so I just HAVE to see this soap girl!

Come on chant it with me people:

We need soap porn, we need soap porn........

You can use them and/or package them as soon as they set up/harden.

Looks like you and your hubby had a very fun and productive day together!

That's MP right? Awesome swirls-especially for that medium which is not easy to swirl! WTG!

Their scents are nice but I do not use them. The prices are too inflated.

Amen!!

I've only used their scents when I purchased them here on the classies and one time when I got a GC for $20-could only afford a 4oz bottle + shipping! OUTRAGEOUS!

First of all, welcome to CT-at least I think you're new here right? :)Secondly- those are AWESOME! I love when people get creative and put a different spin on things! GREAT job!!Thirdly- am I the ONLY one who has never heard of solid bubble bath?? Hmm off to investigate this.
