I am back with more pictures of previous soap challenges. September's Soap Challenge was to create a kiddie soap but without using food fragrances or essential oils. I shot myself in the foot with that one because a vast majority of my FO's are gourmand. So, I had to reach back and use cartoons as inspiration. I thought back to a favorite slice of life anime that I really enjoy and have watched more than once. Lucky Star immediately came to mind. These young ladies are hilarious!
I tried to capture the purple, green, white and pink of the characters. Unfortunately, the pink turned salmon. I used Violet FO, True Lilac FO, and Jasmine FO.
One would think that all of those florals would have called the soap batter to rice at some point but they didn't. This was the easiest pour ever. The colors stayed pretty much true except for the pink.
One of my favorite pictures to take is when the loaf comes out of the mold. It is divine!!! I am always filled with anticipation.
October's challenge was Welcome to Autumn! It was supposed to have been representative of what Autumn looks and smells like in your area. I chose Alpine Frost from and Cardamon Cedar Blossom The Chemistry Store. The bottom is scented in the Cardamon Cedar Blossom because I knew that the soap batter would turn a light brow like the dirt and trees here. The top I scented in Alpine Frost since it doesn't discolor at all. I used Emerald Gel Lab color for the top.
I only took one picture because I was so disappointed.
I did add on a few cupcakes at the end of my YT cutting video for last month if you want to see it.
Overall fragrance review:
True Lilac, The Chemistry Store - Fragrant, soft no A or D.
White Jasmine, Rustic Escentuals - true jasmine scent, no A or D.
Violet, Bramble Berry - true and fragrant, no A or D
