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.

I really liked it and it had personality Ross Spencer 24 Ocean View Place Rakaia Huts RD3 Leeston Check out my soap and jewellery <http://wild-hybrid.co.nz/> No virus found in this incoming message.
