Fifth CP Batch - Dreamy Coffee & Cream Bars

[topcat]

Hi all,

This is my first batch in a Nizzy 12 bar mould and my first two-layer soap

I used Turkish Mocha FO in the brown layer as well as coffee grounds, fresh liquid coffee and cocoa powder added at trace. The top creamy layer has no added fragrance, just buttermilk powder mixed into aloe vera juice. Then I brushed the tops with Cappucino Mica. They smell divine!

Thanks for all the kind comments guys

Just wanted to let you know I used a bar for the first time today and I am in LOVE!!! Smells just like a mocha coffee double shot espresso and the top (creamy) layer smells like buttermilk too - lots of bubbly and creamy lather which lasts for ages and the bottom of the soap is scrubby.

I am so loving this CP soaping thing.....could I be addicted? :wink:

Thanks Bunny. I gave several of these out as Chrissie presents and everyone who received on just kept on smelling it and saying "ooh" and "aah" a lot

Don't think they want to use them as soap - one said she will keep it in her underwear drawer!!!

I really do have my "use it" soap and collectible soap. I have one from Tab and Deda in my collectibles. They are also inspirational. And I have the Geisha soap from Zaja. I do have a bar I treasure 'cuz it smells marvelous!!! The creator made a blend that is soooooo dreamy, I keep the bar shoved up my nostrils. That way noone will touch it.
