And more Soap!

 First a re cap on the lemon soap- I dyed it a pale lemon and tried to swirl the colours into the bar - unfortunately - the colours just stayed on the top but I still like the look and the soap has a lovely delicate lemon zest smell ( I might use more essential oil next time )
***
The lip balm got a good revue from my tester :) I think its still a little hard So when I make my next lot, I will add more butter and oil.
***
The poppy seed that I put on top of the Coconut soap bar, all fell off as I had suspected and the ones on the bottom , mixed in the whole bar but worked quite well.
***

While this soap doesnt look much, - I need to work on my decoative abilities- It smells HEAVENLY!
Dyed a pale purple - usining red and blue dye - I have no purple (yet).
The essential oil is Violet- Yummm.

Lip gloss and more soaps

 Last night I made tinted lip balm - I have sent one off to be tested and will let you know what my tester thinks.

 Tonight its Coconut scented goatsmilk soap with blue poppy seeds.
I put a tea soop on the bottom of the first mould but as you can see, theyt all mixed in - I dont mind as it will give a nice texture to the soap for scrubbing. The second one has the seeds pressed into the top but I guess quite a few may fall off when I take it out of the mould.

Lastly , I made some lemon scented goastmilk soap to slice up when set. I have swirled some yellow colouring in the soap so , hopefully it will look good when sliced- We shall see!
