Kia ora Herees my pre- use feedback on loiuses soap Initial impressions - yep, nice soap, yep would buy by the look-I like to see the soap Packaging-similar comments to ross, I think it lets u down a bit, looks like a great bar of soap, your packaging isnt yelling 'I'm a great bar of soap' and it should be! Labelling I guess if you are selling it u would need to put all the ingreds.I like the font and the ownership of the bar, neat something I have yet to do with my labelling ie put my name on it or my soapy name.. Pre shower experience I did like the look of it altho the bottom was a bit rough but not rough like u can get away with it cos u want it to be like that, rough like it was really meant to be smooth but ddint quite make it that way.very fine distinction, all in the art of it all lol! Nice size bar, thin enough and small enough to hold comfortably.. Square is a bit different to hold but it works for me I like the colour and the swirl is lovely I agree with the dreamy comments, the green is a lovely green how did you get this green? As for the scent yum when I opened the packet I really like the spearmint very much, reminded me of spearmint chewing gum yum yum Feels smooth and lovely , can t wait to use it Til the next instalment after the shower.

Packaging Nice and secure. Can see the soap. I know that Louise is relatively new to soaping and this may or may not be how soap is presented to users on a general basis. I tucked the overhanging edges of the plastic wrapping tight into the side of the soap and it looked fabulous. Just an aesthetic thing! Pre Shower Impressions I got a good blast of spearmint when I opened the packet. Mint is such a difficult oil to soap with as it is so ephemeral and can just get lost in the soap. I loved the colour. Almost a teal green and the swirl looks good - cloudy and dreamy. I think a really pale green would look great with this soap to go with the spearmint. To the touch, dry and waxy. This feels like a super hard soap. Love it! The cut is a little rough but I like that and my cutting is deplorable. A few air bubbles in the soap but nothing immediately visible. A solid bar to cut and the cut edge smells strongly of spearmint. In The Shower Crazy amazing lather from this soap. I loved it No colour bleeding and the swirls looked really nice when the soap was wet. The scent was very strong in the shower. The thing with spearmint for me is it smells like toothpaste. Not a bad thing but I would have liked a bit of a twist to the scent. It certainly smelled fresh and invigorating. I think my skin felt quite moisturised after the shower. This is certainly a hard bar. Fabulous. Overall Impressions I thought this was a fantastic soap. Hard and durable with a scent that was very present and great lathering and moisturising properties. It looked really good too and with some refinement would look amazing.
