I hope you like these - please let me know if you see anything you don't like or notice something I should have done differently. The stars are castille soaps.

Minty Shea Butter:


Mocha:


Lavender:


Peppermint Swirl (I forgot to add the FO at trace & had to add at pour so the FO stayed at the top and turned brown :( )


Green Tea:


Acai Berry:


Oatmeal Milk and Honey:

Really pretty. Love the stars. Have you ever tried putting the stars in the soap? If you need any help with doing embeds into your loaves just email me at the store. I'm always happy to talk techniques!

They are really beautiful...love the colours.
 
Thanks for the nice replies!

I wished the peppermint one came out more red, obviously I didn't use enough colorant. The first time I used color I used too much so now I'm afraid to use more!

The mocha bar is great, but I used waaaaay too much coffee grounds in it. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY! I started putting the grounds in the bowl and said to myself "Stop....Stop!...STOP!" before I actually stopped putting them in. But live and learn...

I just made those little stars a few weeks ago. I had these silicone molds that I was afraid to use, so when I had too much batter a while back I used them. After a few tries I finally figured out how to use them w/my recipes. I will definitely try embedding them in some soap! I think for winter soaps they'd make a nice embellishment!

ETA: @ Bean13 - acai berry is a fruit that is said to be very high in antioxidants and omega fatty acids. Supposedly it helps your skin stay moisturized and "prevents aging" although I've never seen it myself & would never claim it does. In the US there was/is this "Acai Berry" Diet kicking around that claims to be the best-est diet ever - all by taking this pill that sheds the weight off. Someone really made a big buck over that one! Regardless, I just liked the FO from WSP and also ordered the Acai Butter Blend (acai berries, shea butter & jo jo butter).
 
I like the nice fine swirls you got! Lovely And, just my opinion, but I like the color of the peppermint. True, it does not look like a candy cane colors, but it is so pretty.
