ok since this thread is going on i will ask in here, anyone use french vanilla to mix in with lavender ?

and with lavender and vanilla and lavender and eucalyptus how do you typically mix it ? like ratio wise ?

LOL you are right i just looked at the description and no cherry in it, hmmmm what the heck am i smellling then? it is such a soft smell almost like a soft cherry...ok what in here would smell like it ? LOL i swear it smells like a really soft cherry

An exotic fragrance is a blend of Japanese cherry blossom, vanilla rice, oriental woods and delicate mimosa petals. Top Notes of Asian pear and Fuji Apple with Mid Notes of Japanese Cherry Blossom, Butterfly Lily, Kyoto Rose, Mimosa Petals and Hedione, base notes of Vanilla Rice, Imperial Amber, Silk Musk, Cinnamon Incense, Himalayan Cedarwood and creamy Sandalwood ...

and why ?

goat's Milk or Silk and Shea ??

i have goats milk now and i am wanting to try the silk and Shea both from WSP so if anyone uses both or has used both which one do you like the best and why ....

thanks yeah i dont leave the soap in the water, it just seems like one bar only lasts maybe 5 days using it everyday . when you use the olive oil, does it really seem to help with hardening the bars up ? i will have to look into the beeswax.

LOL thanks, we are done for awhile now... i got everything i wanted to soap soaped plus some lol...

as promised here are pics from last nights soap me and hubby did...

Mango Mandarin

Japanese Cherry Blossom

Strawberry Rhubarb ( i love this one although the color looks like cranberry haha )

i have to get more dye's the red i had never turned red, i could only get almost a neon pink... ugh...

ok so the one thing i dislike about MP is how quick the bar goes from it being so soft, i have read about using olive oil for hardening ??? is it 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon per pound ? and the castor oil what does that do ? help with the lather ?

anyway i really wanted to know about anything i can do to harden up the bars a bit so they dont dissolve to quickly in water lol

From Gelluminations .. has anyone every tried these ? i just got them in yesterday and i soaped them last night. but with the JCP and the mango mandarin im not sure how they smell from bbw .. i think i am going to have to go to bbw's this weekend and sniff them lol...

the strawberry rhubarb is nice, it has a good strawberry scent with the sour rhubarb which isnt to overwhelming, i actually like this scent...

the JCB you can smell the cherry it seems a little light, and you can smell the japanese flower ( or at least something floral ) it seems to me that the floral is the top note followed by the cherry scent.. it is a very smooth scent not too overpowering with the floral scent..

Mango Mandarin wholly cow can you say very citrusy smelling..i can smell more mandarin than i can mango but maybe that is how it is supposed to be...nothing really light about this scent..

i will update more when i use the soaps. and one of my good customers daughters uses the JCB from bbw's which is why i got it she had requested it, so i am going to give her a bar of soap to try and she can also let me know how true the scent is compared to bbw's ..

has anyone else used these from gelluminations, or have tried them from a different supplier ? can you tell me your thoughts on the scent's ?

thanks everyone !! we did more last night i gotta get the pics uploaded to the pc then i will post them...

hubby says thank you to everyone for all the nice compliments he recieved !

LOL when i said sorority i meant it as the excitement and anticipation to see if you get it or not, i didnt mean it as like the forum being a cllique or anything.

hmmmm i still havent heard back yet.. this is the longest i have ever waited lol usually it is instant or you just have to confirm your email addy...

almost feel's like it is a sorority i am trying to get into LOL

thank you very much ... i am sure when hubby gets home and i show him all these great reviews he will want to soap the new oils i am getting in today haha

LOL thanks everyone, i know i told hubby to not expect a paycheck hahaha...

he is so proud of what he did though and how they turned out.. this was him all night ------>

Yep they are all MP soaps !!

and yes we did have fun, which we needed to we havent had alot of time together lately so we both enjoyed our day yesterday!

i have been working on swirls for awhile now.. i think i almost got it lol still have to work on it some more lol

thanks i will tell him, of course i kept telling him he did a great job lol, i think he is addicted i just hope he doesnt get a big head and try to take over my business haha

the molds are the tray molds from WSP's they were only i believe 5.99 per mold i really like them, they have bigger ones too for bigger batches but these hold 2 pounds and i dont need anything bigger yet... i also got their guest tray mold small rectangles i figured would be good for sample's when i start handing them out !

he wanted to help so yesterday i let him make a couple candles and then soap, of course he loved doing the soap and we ended up making 6 batches hahaha... here are some pics

Pomegrante ( looks like a rose i think )

Polo for men

Cucumber Cantaloupe

Lick me all over

Mango Papaya

Drakkar

too bad i have to cut them up lol they are so pretty, and Dh is very proud of the soaps he made lol .. of course it might of been funner for him if i wasent watching every movement haha

do we have a * this thread is worthless without pics * emoticon lol

i would loooove to see pics !

no it did not bother his hands, he also said the same thing that hands are tougher than the rest of the body he got half way up to his elbow and nothing, and i did the same and nothing either.. i am going to have him try the bath again... lol my poor little guinea pig hehe..

and i tested the love spell bubble bath with the love spell soap and nothing as well...

i will post again when i have him do the bath test either tonight or tomorrow

ok i did the sink test with the drakkar and nothing happened, had hubby wash his hands with the drakkar too and dip them in the sink still nothing.. after some moving the water around the bubbles ended up going away but that always happens....so it must have been a fluke..

i hope no one has to vouch for you, cuz where it asks if you have any friends here i said i dont know if i know anyone there cuz i dont know who all is members...

i just registered over there and sent in my introduction email, so i hope to hear back soon

thanks i will do that ... i know i have used the love spell soap when in the bath tub using the love spell bubble bath and all was ok..

i will keep you posted..

ok i have the bubble bath base from WSP and i made some love spell which i have been using and testing... my hubby took a love spell bubble bath tonight ( hehe ) and before he got out he grabbed his drakkar soap ( melt and pour base from WSP ) ( both the drakkar and love spell F/o's are from NG ) anyway he washed with the soap and sat back down in the water and heard a noise, he said all the bubbles dissapeared and he got tingly and really hot...

he has used the drakkar many times and has been fine and i have used the bubble bath many times and have been fine, now would he of caused a chemical reaction by mixing the 2 fragrance oils together in the tub ???

that is what i am thinking cuz of the noise and all the bubbles dissapearing and him getting tingly and really hot ...

what do you guys think ??

i got the card and tried twice and it came up saying payment processing error, i dont know why i believe i entered everything right, so i just ordered it from gelluminations so i will try theirs.. i dont know what bbw's smells like so i dont know how to compare hahah, looks like i will be going to bbw's..

ugh i cant order from just scent cuz they dont accept paypal, so it looks like i will be ordering it from some where else...
