Soaps from "Die Selbstrührerei"

Ich habe gewonnen!!! :-)*

Am Juli habe ich einen Gewinnspiel von BananaBee bei Die Selbstrührerei teilgenommen und doch habe ich den erst Platz gewonnen! !!

Wenn du ihren Blog noch nicht kennst, schau doch mal : Die Selbstrührerei.
Dort findest du sehr viel Informatives zum Thema Seife und Kosmetik selber herstellen. Auch siehst du ihre Leidenschaft so wie ihre grosszügige Art (Meistens teilt sie uns die Rezepte ihren Produktes mit!).

Für den ersten Platz habe ich ihre 3 wunderschöne Seifen bekommen!
Hier, was ich bekommen habe:

◆Kiwilicious◆

◆Lavendelseife◆

◆Universe◆

Diesen blauen Kügelchen finde ich mit heutigen heissen Sommertage gut  passen:-) Deshalb habe ich zuerst diese Seife auszuprobiert.

Grosser Schaum kommt sofort und frischer Duft verbleitet sich in ganzem Badezimmer!

Jede ihre Seife haben sich intensiv Dufte. Kiwi- und Lavendelseife habe ich im Kleiderschrank und in der Schmuckschublade liegen gelassen. Jedes Mal wenn ich öffne, kann ich den Dufte geniessen.

Vielen lieben Dank, BananaBee!
Ich geniesse deine Seifen:-)

Soaps from "Mabel Savonnière"

I have participated in the Japanese Soap Swap hosted by the other Mika(SAVON de MIKA).
For the Swap I was also paired with Mabel from "Mabel Savonnière" and her package has arrived safe:-)


Here's what I received! :

Isn't the wrapping lovely!? :-)

*  *  * 

◆Frosted Brownies(Dark Chocolate) 

　　　　　　　　　　　　　and Energize(Salt Bar)◆

Even I have not opened wrappings, I could smell both of soaps intensive.

"Frosted Brownies" smells like real chocolate and I can't believe that a soap is  inside.
"Energize", the Salt Bar, smells wonderfully citrus and it reminds me of plenty of lemon trees by the coast in Naples where I spent for holiday last year.

*  *  * 

In the meantime, I straightaway chose her "Tranquility" for the first trying.

◆Tranquility◆

....Why? 
Because I definitely cant make soaps with THE ingredients, which in this soap. 
The Soap is made with... Breast Milk !!!

Yes, she is breastfeeding her son. It is very interesting and I wonder how it is.

I've been using this a couple of days and It feels wonderful on my skin. 
It has rich bubbles and creamy lather:-) 
The scent is a esential oil blend of sandalwood, neroli, lavender and chamomile, and altogether became somehow pretty oriental! I like it.


You see that her soaps have wonderful names and I think all those names go together well with each soap. 
I really admire that she has full of creative inspirations!
I can't wait to try her another 2 soaps!


...and it is not all. She sent me a great surprise!! 
Her handmade Hair Balm:-)
Look at this :

◆Coco Shea Hair Balm◆ 

It smells mainly Coconut, very asian!
This Balm makes my dry hair quite moistured:)

I see her professional works from her soap face, wrapping and cosmetic products.

Thank you Mabel! It was great to swap with you!!

*  *  * 

.. And this is what I sent to her :

I have 2 soaps which are made with japanese ingredients : Red Shiso Soap(Red Perilla) and Matcha Soap(Pure Green Tea), the other 2 are : Herb Soap(Chamomile and lavender) and Skin Friendly Soap(Avocado-Calendula)

She already did a review of my soaps on her Blog!

If you are interested, the review can read HERE !

Memo of "Tranquility"
-Soap Style : medium hard
-Aroma : exotic oriental
-Lather : creamy lather easily comes out, small and soft bubbles
-After feeling : mild and moistured

Soaps from " Los jabones del bosque"

I'm taking part in a Japanese Soap Swap, organized by the other Mika(SAVON de MIKA).
It is my first soap swap and I'm very excited.
Lucky me, I have 2 swap partners!  Thank you, Mika!


Today I will show you the wonderful soaps by Silvia from Los jabones del bosque .


These are what I received from her!
Lovely wrappings each soap..

◆Herbal Soap◆

I love this wrapping topped with dried lavender.

Amazingly aromatic. 

* * * 

◆Rosemary Shampoo Bar and Wild Flowers Soap◆

* * * 
What a surprise! She sent me some extra gifts.

Look at this heart-formed soaps above!  She says, one is made with hemp oil, the another one is with coffee. 


Also her handmade accessory, it is made of hemp rope decolated with shells from her favorite beach in Spain, which has crystal water. How wonderful!
I've already put this accessory with my house keyrings.


* * * 
Ok, let's beginn to review one of her soaps! 
I've tried her "Rosemary Shampoo Bar" first.

Because of the hard water where I live, it needs a bit time to make big lather, but once the lather comes out, it stays good during shampooing.
As she gave me a tip, I rinsed with vineger in water afterwards, then I got smooth hair.
Also my husband is using it, he said that this bar made his hair sleek. 
(With his short hair, he doesn't need to rinse anyway;))
Thank you very much, Silvia!




I'm very happy about this soap swap.
It is not only fun exchanging soaps each other, but also I enjoy talking with my partners via email.

.... and this is what I sent to her.
I hope she likes my soaps:)

Memo of "Rosemary Shampoo Bar"
-Soap Style : hard
-Aroma : Wild, like freshly cut grass
-Lather : small bubbles with slightly sticky texture
-After feeling : refresh and refined

Soaps from "Naturalmente Mediterraneo"

Recently I bought soaps by Jennifer, 
from Naturalmente Mediterraneo

Since I started making soaps, I've been reading blogs of a variety of sorpers.

When I found the Jennifer’s blog, I was impressd! In any case, I see her passion for making soaps and skincare products, but what I really like is, that she is carefully choosing the ingredients such as oils, herbs or colorants. They all come from mother nature.


Why this thing is so special for me is just because I believe that "what you put on your body is as important as what we eat" , so as she thinks it exactly the same!
I feel that her products content full of natural energy, and of course her love too!


Here are 3 soaps I bought :

◆Wild Lavender Soap◆ 

Above all things, I love lavender scent!

Gently aroma..:)

◆Lemon Soap◆

It smells so fresh!

I think it's nice to use it for comming summer. 

Well... it took long which soap I should try first, and at the end I chose the "Rose Hip Soap".

◆Rose Hip Soap◆

This soap contents a pink clay.
I'd never used soaps with a clay before, because I'd thought that my skin was dry and the clay took too much fat from my skin, but I was curious how it worked on me actually.

I've been using this for 1 week, then I feel my skin is something refined!
I don't feel my skin so dry, but I have a little bit tension around my nose after a couple of minutes later. I think I use this once a week for my face as a special washing, and for body, ANY TIME!    


I already look forward to try another one..;)) 
Thank you very much, Jennifer! I love all your soaps!! 
Everytime when I wash myself with your soap and feel aroma, thinking of coast of Andalucia..:-)


Let's visit her blog and see her works!
