AWESOME! AMAZING, WOW!!!!

"Call of the Wild"!!! LOVE them!!!!!

I like the look. It reminds me of nougat candy :-)

Absolutely stunning. Well you said it was a feminine scent so I would call it "Venus" and then make another with perhaps the same type of look, different color and in a man's scent and call it Mars :-)

I have an idea to share for those looking for something for kids. I make a milk bath for adults so I thought why not for kids. To make it appealing to them instead of bubble bath I thought of making it "Magic Powder" and scenting bubble gum or monkey farts or some fruity scent and adding sparkles to the mix. I find you can color the milk bath, just color the fine sea salt of epson salt seperately and throw into the baggy you have your other ingredients in and knead and the entire thing will color nicely. Add cute little instruction/story about magic powder, the little ones will love it. You could add some citric to the batch so the kids see some action to it and truly think it is magic

Having said the above I like the look of them though, sleek and modern and wonderful colors. Since I am in my 50s I don't care what people would think if I dropped that container out of my purse. That is one thing about getting older

I know a perfect name for a perfurme creation that would go in these containers, "Good Vibrations" :rolleyes2:laugh2:

Okay, my future daughter-in-law absolutely wants the bath cupcakes (made purely of soap - not bombs) for her favors. The problem is she bought the wilton mold (not the cake size one) for this. First off they are QUITE LARGE and we did a test with melt and pour and I hate the look of them - they look like plastic to me. Has anyone tried making these with CP soap and this mold and if so do they look more natural? I was thinking of making the top part (icing part) as whipped soap and pouring that into the mold (top part) and then for the bottom part it I would pour the soap at light trace. Also, if you have tried this did you have any problems getting the soap out of the mold? Thanks for any help with this.

Citrus is my most favorite scent!!!!! It just awakens all the senses and I can imagine how that smells :yay: . I know the cut pics of this will be awesome. Wish I could smell them

I absolutely LOVE the colors and the amazing swirl. Absolutely stunning!

That looks AMAZING!!! :yay: Something else to put on my list in my spare time, lol.

Oh yes forgot to say, if you try making this DON'T pour the yellow mp soap for the pineapple in a plastic frozen juice container, lol, without inserting something to make the hole in the middle almost immediately. I used a piece of pipe when I realized I needed a hole. It was good I did because pulling on that pipe helped me dislodge the darn soap, lol. Also don't forget to score the yellow piece like a pineapple is scored sort of in sections otherwise it just looks like a round with a hole in the middle for your soap cherry. I used clear glycerine soap for the cherries, poured the red colored clear glycerine soap in a container and when it started to get somewhat set, removed some with a spoon and started rolling the soap into small balls. I then pushed the cherries into the middle of the pineapples. I poured a bit of clear glycerine at the bottom of the pan and placed the pineapples, let is set just a tad, and then poured by soap cake batter on top. I held my breath when I unmolded it.

I get my mp from K&W Specialties here in Canada. Ingredients are: Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Castor Oil, Safflower Oil, Glycerine, Water, etc. Go to their website and look at page 37 of their pdf catalogue. I have seen this same base sold also in the U.S. I do add some shea butter to the base or a bit of avocado oil, or whatever you would like (sweet almond oil). Forgot to mention that also add some aloe vera powder some times as well. It's a great base.

Just wanted to let you know I keep coming back to the picture of these, they are so beautiful and the colors are PERFECT!

Thanks for the compliments, it was my first time trying to do something like this and it was fun . I felt bad cutting it today in wedges, lol, but this was more an experiment for me as I would make it again just a bit different. I would put more pineapples on the top, I would put 5 of them aound the centre one so that it would be more even looking and I would omit the almond slivers too. But all in all it was a good learning experience and it gives me the confidence now to try some other looks. Next I would like to try a black forest cake. Wish me luck

No, as I mentioned I used red and yellow (regular, non neon) to make the dark orange. I put more red than yellow and this is what I got. The mp I used does not have glycerine as the first or water as the first ingredient, it has coconut oil, palm oil first and I find a difference in the mp you can buy that don't have those two ingredients as the first ingredients. Perhaps that is what makes the difference in the coloring of the soap. I find this mp base more like a cp soap

Thank you all for the compliments on the soaps. I like doing melt and pour when I want to soap but basically don't have the energy or patience for cp, lol. I was going to do some cp the other night, that was my intent anyway, but by the time I got everything done around here (dinner, feeding my 8 horses, mucking stalls, dealing with my cats, the feral cats, the ducks, the dog, lol, eeeeiiiieeeeiiiioooo) I had no energy left and it was already past 10 p.m. sooo I put it off to this weekend. The color in the Margaritaville soap is a neon green/yellow and the orange soap is just a mix of red and yellow together so I could get a dark orange. I find melt and pour most time take color really well, less is better not like cp, depending on what you are using. I also find that the m&P hold scent much better as well but I do love cp, it's my first love so to speak.

and the last one that smells like CHOCOLATE Truffle Rhaspberry Dessert Squares

Orange Maple Medley and Margaritaville. Just noticed the Margaritaville label missing the name, lol. Better change the label.

I have been playing with MP for the last couple of days, until tonight. Planning to make some CP tonight but in the meantime, anyone for a piece of Pineapple upside-down cake? It smell AMAZING!!! Next time I would not put the almonds on the top because in the pic it looks like soap that didn't mix but in person you can tell it's almond slices.

Yes New Directions is where I get mine as well. I did try a few years ago others they have but I was not as keen on them as this one. This one is truly a keeper and very versatile.

I purchased a bubbling butter base and have been having a blast to say the least. I am TOTALLY hooked. I have made a bubbling brown sugar/coffee scrub which is do die for and oooooooooooo so very nice on the skin that I won't be making any more of the non-bubbling scrubs because I find them too oily to deal with For the bubbling brown sugar/coffee scrub I used the pre-made base and added of course some ground coffee, unrefined (light brown sugard granules) some oils and aloe vera gel. I won't give out what oils I used but suffice it to say you can use sweet almond oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, apricot kernel oil, or a combination of oils you prefer. To scent it I used Maple FO and combined with the coffee grounds it smells like a cafe latte!!!!! For the blubbling salt glow I also used the pre-made base and used a combination of oils, aloe vera, dead sea salt (not the fine salt), honey powder and scented with Morning Mint FO. I am in heaven and so excited. The bonus to all of this as well is the bubbling body butter base is "Paraben-Free and Propylene Glycol Free"

Well you are a better person than I am because my french temper would be kicking in here. I would just for the heck of it call my lawyer and have him send a letter of demand asking for a copy of the letter and proof of delivery. There is no way I would allow this not to be answered and I would threaten legal action for "slander". They sure as heck would think you were an angel after dealing with me. Glad you said something as I refuse to purchase supplies from a company that treats customers, any customer, like this.

I also have a soap that I sell called "The Orient Express" but it is brick red in color and it a special blend and also very mysterious . It's one of my top sellers and it's my personal favorite. Geat job!!

Amazing swirls and love the colors. What about calling it "Age of Aquarius". Now I have that song stuck in my head!!!!
