My 1st pencil line and soap making boo boo

[terminatortoo]

I made both of these last night. The one on the left is 100% OO and I decided to try a pencil line just so it would not be just a plain white soap. My line sort of ran but I guess it's good for a 1st try.
The second one is not what I meant to make at all! It was supposed to have some chunks I had left over from another batch that were scented with Hot Fudge Brownies and then I was going to mix them with a coffee scent but when I added the FO I thought that doesn't smell like coffee! When I looked at the bottle it was actually Champagne Pomegranate that I poured in. So change of plans, I then just poured the mold full of the batter and ran and cut up some other left over unscented soap and mixed them in. Even though that is not what I was going for they look and smell really nice.
TIP: Always look at the bottle before adding it to your batter lol

They still came out good though even though they aren't what you initially wanted. Wonderful. What did you use for the pencil line? Also do you mind if I ask what kind of OO you used in that one?

Soap making is kind of like cooking dinner though. If you don't tell them what you are making BEFORE dinner, when you serve them they just think all is as intended. LOL! They came out great!

Both of the soaps turned out looking very pretty.

I used the regular olive oil that you can buy at Sam's. I used cocoa powder for the pencil line.

This one? http://www.samsclub.com/sams/member-s-mark-pure-olive-oil-3l/187715.ip#desc

That's what I have used prior to getting my OO Pomace. It's much lighter in color for your soaps than Pomace.

How much is that olive oil? I have a SAMs club membership but the mobile web isn't showing me
Prices right now

The label is a little different on my bottle but the bottle itself looks just like that. I live in Texas and it costs $10.97

 

[melstan775]

That's a good price. It's half what is in Walmart.

I know, I have to drive 45min to go to Sam's but it is worth it to save some money.

 

[melstan775]

I have to too but it's totally worth it. Do they have coconut oil?

 

[Shannon_m]

Are you really saving all that much driving that far to get it?

 

[lizflowers42]

Are you really saving all that much driving that far to get it?

Short answer I would say is no with gas prices, but if you make a monthly trip to Sam's or so for bulk shopping, then it would be a savings.

No they don't sell coconut oil, and when we drive the 45 min we always have other things we have to do in town, so it is worth it to go but we only go once every few months.

I use the same Members Mark Olive Oil from Sams Club and its such a GREAT price compared to anywhere else around here. And it makes great soap too.
