Mandy's Soap
Cinnamon and Orange
A small but fairly thick rough cut bar.
Packaging
Again, secure and can see the soap. Label gave good information but was a
little difficult to read. I love the warning for sensitive skin. I also
love the properties listed next to each of the oils. Resealable!
Pre Shower Impressions
Packaging was easy to open and resealable. The soap was fairly hard and
waxy with a slight oily feel but still dry.
The colouring was uneven giving a marbled effect. Not sure if this was
deliberate or not but it is quite nice.
The cinnamon was very strong and I get a faint orangey note. I think the
paprika may have influenced the scent a little as well. Overall smells
spicy.
Moderate hardness when cut.
In The Shower
I thought there was going to be some colour bleeding but none!
I was initially a bit disappointed in the lather but once the soap got going
it was really, really good stable fluffy lather.
I thought the scent might have been overpowering in the shower but it was
actually quite a nice level. Some vanilla would have taken the edge off the
cinnamon a bit (IMO). No irritation from the cinnamon but then my skin is
very tolerant. The scent lingered very slightly on my skin afterwards.
A moderately hard bar.
My skin felt great after using this soap
Overall Impressions
This soap performed really well and was interesting all round. I liked the
colour and the feel of it. The scent was a little raw for me but actually
really invigorating in the shower. I really liked it and it had personality
