I saw this store on YouTube and everything looked fabulous. I thought it would be awesome to order something form the U.K. Whenever you order something form her it takes a few days to give you what the shipping would be. Ms. Karen is super sweet and she only charged 3 pounds for shipping, even though it cost 10 pounds. Once I paid the invoice it took about 3 to 4 days for the package to arrive.
Here is what I ordered. —>
Everything smelled fabulous. I don’t normally like glycerin soaps but I really like hers. The lather was so creamy and hers scents awesome. Her cold process are even creamier. When I purchased her soaps, her average weight for the soaps was 100 g which is about 3.5 oz. I think she has upped the weight since then so that they are 120 g which is about 4.2 oz. I would definitely buy from her again.
I was looking for sellers in my state so I stumbled onto this seller. She had a great deal of six shea butter bars in your choice of scents for $28.50. Even though the listing said shea butter bars, you could also order sea salt bars. I ordered Asian Pear Sea Salt, Firelight Sea Salt, Passionfruit Rose, Tangerine and Ylang Ylang, Energy, Lemony Snickets, and she send 2 samples (Lemon Lime and Sweet Magnolia). I didn’t realize it but I had ordered all citrus scents. The Lemony Snickets has a licorice scent to it as well. Because I am from her state she had to charge a sales tax, but that was only about $3.00 extra. Shipping was only $4.90, so the price came out to a little over $35.
Everything came shrink-wrapped with labels with the name and another with the ingredients. Her scents are awesome. They are strong but not overpowering. I think my favorite scent so far is the Passionfruit Rose. The bars are a hard consistency but have a soft texture. The bars are very pretty and the colors are lovely. Each soap has her shop logo of a hand with a swirl in the middle. The average weight for the shea butter bars is about 5 oz. The sea salt bars are the same dimensions as the shea butter bars but they are a lot denser. Their average wight is 8 oz. I was expecting the salt bars to be very rough and exfoliating like a salt scrub. However the bars are very smooth and lather really well. They do crumble when you cut them though. So when you first use your cut pieces they are a little rough.
I liked her soaps so much that I put in another order. I got the same listing as before so I received 6 bars. This time I ordered the Mardi Gras, Lemon Lime, Cucumber Mint Sea Salt Bar, Isis, Pele, and Thai Garden. I also ordered her soap grab bag, which contains about 1 pound of soap for about $10. It contains soaps that did not come out as she expected, so they soaps won’t be labeled with a scent. It could contain small pieces of soap or full bars. My grab bag had 3 full bars of soap that smelled pretty good to me. She also sent 2 samples with the order again. One was a sample of her Black Currant and Pomegranate soap and a Ginger Fizz bath bomb. I unfortunately don’t have a bath 😦 so I am not sure what I will do with the bath bomb.
