First CP - very plain, and no, that's not all of it


Second batch - salt bars. Are those dark spots supposed to be there? I don't mind the look of them but not sure if that's what is supposed to happen (this is after being in a warm oven for 2 hours)


Third batch is still in the molds and needs to be named.
 
Those look great. I sense ANOTHER addict in the making.
 
Very pretty shade of pink. Nice job. :) I don't do salt bars so I can't help ya there. I don't recaall seeing those spots in other salt bar pictures though. Hmmm.
 
Good job!!! The ones with dark pink spots remind me of cookies with cherries in it.

Those look great :) congrats on your first soaps, very pretty :D

Soon your home will be filled with soaps...top to bottom, side to side, in every nook and cranny, friends, family, strangers will all run when they see you coming ( oh no, not more soap ) - not that I know this first hand or anything :oops:
 
Excellent soaps! Welcome to this glorious addiction. The pink spots in your salt bars may be areas of batter that didn't get any salt mixed in? If they are more than 2-3 days old try the tongue zap test on one and see if it is lye heavy. If it is okay then you are good to use them....I think they look pretty and I bet you can never repeat what you did to get salt soap like than again! One-off originals :wink:

That first one, is that a kit? I had the same one. That was my first one. I didn't like it much, the FOs it ccame with were very synthetic smelling to me. And those molds....i had to cut them to get the soap out. But the mica powder it came with is very pretty pink. I still have some.
