2nd batch of soap - mens soap

[scrummysuds]

Here is my 2nd batch of soap, made with men in mind.

This was my first attempt at swirling two colours and also my first attempt at the lyn top. Could be better but Im quite happy for my first try.

I used bergamot essential oil and eucalyptus essential oil which makes a refreshing fragrance, I also added blue poppy seeds in the top layer as an exfoliant.

Hoping to give these away as part of a gift basket for christmas to my dad, father in law, uncle, brother etc

they are so pretty! such an amazing job for your 1st swirl. love the colours too

 

[scrummysuds]

Thank you
I was a bit worried how the colours would turn out as I added avacado oil into the mix of oils which has a dark green/brown colour.

2nd soap and first at swirling and lyn tops? I don't believe it, you've been at it much longer I'm only teasing, they just look so good, it looks like you'd had lots of practice!

Looks terrific! Anybody would be thrilled to get these beautiful soaps as a gift.

 

[scrummysuds]

Thank you so much that's very kind

I think I messed with the top a bit too much and should have waited for it to thicken more before trying the Lyn top

Absolutely gorgeous! Very appealing to the eye. And spot on for a 'Man Soap'

Great job

Very pretty, you look like you have 3 colours in the swirl - blue, green and metalic gold.

 

[scrummysuds]

my colours were just a plain blue and a plain green (non bleeding) from a website called soaposh.co.uk

The third colour you think you can see is actually where I hadn't mixed the colour in thoroughly at the side if the bowl hehehe so that is just the normal soap colour without any added. Quite a nice mistake
