So back in March I mentioned that I am going to be a part of a soap swap organized by a fellow crafter. Well, yesterday I received my box!! I am too happy. I am so greedy that I didn't bother to take a group shot after I took the individual pics. Well, that being said let's jump right on in!!
Coconut, Castor and Grapeseed Oils; Lard, Kaolin Clay, fragrance and Natural Mica Colorant
Victoria Spain in the genius behind
maitri Bath & Body LLC and the organizer of the swap. I have to say that Cucumber Melon is not a fragrance that I often wash with thanks to Bath and Body Works inundating us with it back in the mid to late '90's. However, I am now rethinking my stance. The Cucumber Melon is gentle and alluring. There is a hint of some floral underneath that causes me to continue to bring the soap back up to my nose. The gentle pastel colors and glitter add to the overall softness of the bar. Of course I showered with this first thing this morning. The bubbles are immediate and the lather is thick and creamy. I lathered twice with this soap and after the rinse there was no lingering stickiness to my skin. My skin is not overly dry or tight. A 'job well done' is much deserved here. You can find more of these goodies at Maitri Bath & Body LLC

Next is
Tallulah Soap's Garden Mint Soap by Tina Barb Weldin.
Coconut, Palm, Olive and Castor Oils, Cocoa Butter, Aqua, Sodium Hydroxide, Coconut Milk, Essential Oil, Tussah Silk, Titanium Dioxide, Mica and Vegetable Colorants
Right off I can smell the mint. I am guessing Spearmint, Tea Tree and Peppermint. I could be wrong but my nose is saying, "Whatever combination, it is so right!!" I can feel my sinuses waking up!! I haven't even had a cup of coffee yet. Strange I know!! The blue does tint the bubbles a very cool sea green for some reason but doesn't stain. This is a nice firm bar to use after a hard sweat, playing in the garden or just when you need a "Wake the 'F' up!!" I love the colors. Reminds me of the ocean and sand. Thank you so much Tina for this wonderful gift. You can contact Tina for more lovely goodies: Tallulah Soaps

Thanks so much for the review! I should add that my labels on the cucumber melon were out of date and my new website is: http://maitribathbody.com.
ReplyDeleteI also loved Tallulah Soaps's minty bar! She did multiple layers with the brown layers having exfoliant scrubbies in them. Love it!

I am thoroughly enjoying the bars. I am so glad that I cut them into 4ths so I can space them out over the next couple of months. I am going to surprise my mom with a slice of Tina's soap since she has been gardening since yesterday but NOBODY is getting my Cucumber Melon. Well, maybe my daughter but she is in the same house so I can always take it back. ;)
