Do not waste your time envying this site. I looked it over and I am very skeptical about many of the claims.
First, most of the soaps are pretty ordinary looking, perfectly respectable soap but nothing to sigh over.
I will never ever buy soap from anybody who lists "love" as an ingredient. Ick
I am pretty sure that this person uses a variety of premade bases - some transparent and some which resemble CP or mixes M&P for decoration and uses CP for the balance (as others have already commented).
However, a soap that includes transparent soap topping cannot be represented as "alcohol free" to the best of my knowledge as transparent M&P typically contains some sort of alcohol. (I don't do M&P so I may be wrong here)
There is no such thing as coconut essential oil as described here. Busted!

To the best of my knowledge real vanilla (she claims she uses Madagascar vanilla in one of the descriptions) will brown soap. If she's using a stabilizer there goes her "all natural" claims.
There's a yuzu soap - anybody ever price yuzu EO? It costs the earth. She doesn't say that she uses yuzu EO but it's implied.
No way those colors are natural. Neon pink and blue do not appear in nature.
Personally, overly scented soaps give me a headache. I agree with the earlier post about solid perfume or perfume oils scented with EOs as a viable alternative to having that scent linger on the skin after bathing.
Conclusion: be proud of your own soap. There are some soapmakers whose work I greatly admire. They don't make false claims and their soaps are genuine works of art.
Rant over.
