Now I’m a big sucker for the color blue, so you know that the visual of this handmade soap by Coquette Bath and Home is enough to catch my interest – and once I got a chance to smell it, I was in Heaven. It’s a fresh, clean scent that feels like being in a spring shower, right in the bath. I couldn’t put this handmade soap down once I started using it. It had a great lather, and the feel on my skin was great. This is in my top picks for handmade soaps, and it couldn’t be made by a nicer person. Check it out at Coquette Bath and Home.

Yes, yes, I know what you’re saying ‘Oh God another Gudonya review???’ I’m sorry, but I can’t help myself – I frikkin love everything they make. Let me tell you about this soap. It’s a handmade soap with a Tahitian vanilla scent that is simply divine, with a charcoal exofoliation that leaves you with the most refreshed skin. This is one of my all time favorite soaps, and the scent is absolutely incredible. If I had to only have one body soap, I will go for this soap every single time. You can pick this and other handmade soaps at Gudonya’s Etsy shop.

This was, literally, the first handmade soap that I ever bought. I’m a longtime sufferer of adult acne, and having mainstream solutions fail time and time again, I had turned to handmade soap. SpaTherapy’s Tea Tree Lime soap was great – it left my face feeling very clean, but not dry, flaky, or red. The scent was an interesting one – I’ve never experienced tea tree oil before, and the lime had a nice, fresh counterpoint to the bar. Like most facial bars, this one also lasted me quite awhile with 4 oz – it was around 2 or 3 months before I had to start looking for some more soaps.

Ingredients: Saponified Coconut oil, Palm oil, Castor oil, Safflower oil, glycerin, purified water, goat’s milk, sorbitol (from berries), Sorbitan oleate, soybean protean, titanium dioxide (mineral), Honey, Tea Tree Essential Oil & Lime essential Oil.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading a Dirty Sanchez product description before, you owe it to yourself to get over to her Etsy shop and start reading . These are hands down the most hilarious product descriptions I have ever read. Now that that’s out of the way, the next thing you’ll want to do is get your booty over to her shop to buy some of her luscious handmade soaps. I went through her sampler over the last two or three days, and there wasn’t a soap in there that I didn’t like. The lather on all of them was so lovely and luxurious, and the scents were clean, crisp, and lovely. I loved the packaging as well, and you get paper versions of the description with each soap, along with the most awesome packing slip ever that I’ll need to scan for you. There are plenty of different soaps to choose from, so go take a look at Dirty Sanchez.

As I mentioned before, I just love Dennis Anderson’s soaps, and another thing that I love is the scent of ginger vanilla. This particular handmade glycerin soap uses a vegetable based glycerin so it’s vegan friendly, and it’s simply awesome. The lather is amazing and the scent is enough to make you wake up even on a Monday. I loved the simple look to the bar – it had a really modern feel to it with its smooth curves, and it took me a bit of time to bring myself to actually use it – it was almost too pretty to use! You can purchase this soap from Dennis Anderson’s etsy shop.
