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!

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

(This memo is my view under my skin condition and local situation. I have between normal to dry skin type and Im living in a town with hard water.)

Avo - Calendula Soap

Eine absolute Luxusseife...

In der Seife sind Avocado-, Kokos-, Macadamianuss-, Reiskeimöl, Sheabutter, Jojobaöl-Auszug aus Ringelblume.
Anstatt Destilliertes Wasser habe ich Echte Kamillentee. 
Beduftet habe ich nicht, riecht sie aber nach Pflanzenölmischung, Sheabutter, und ganz leicht nach Ringelblumen. 
Ich liebe diesen natürlichen Duft!
 
Avocado- und Macadamianussöl sorgen für eine angenehme Rückfettung der Haut. 
Es ist für den Sommer ein bisschen zu viel wenn du fettende Haut hast, aber für irritierte und trockene Haut wird sie gut helfen.

Diese Seife habe ich vor kurzem bei einem Seifentausch eine meiner Tauschpartnerin geschickt:-) Ich hoffe, sie wird ihr gut gefallen!

Memo of "Avo-Calendula Soap"
-Soap Style : medium hard
-Aroma : lightly scented Shea butter

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:)
