Mintilla (aka Sweet Mint)

I promised you cut pics! And I deliver! But I decided a nicer name for this soap was Sweet Mint - my husband said Mintilla sounded a little too much like a Japanese Mint flavoured monster (Mintilla - Godzilla - get it?!).

So, for your soapy visual delectation, cut pictures of Sweet Mint:

Just straight out of the mould

Cut Picture No. 1 - cool white and minty green - perfect Mint & Vanilla colours

Cut Picture No. 2 - I love the swirls but the crumbly-bum annoyed me (yes, I'm very picky!)

I love this - so white and minty coloured - perfect colours for the fragrance blend

Bubbles!!!

I love this fragrance and it'll be interesting to see how it lasts during cure.  The recipe was mostly hard butters/oils which is why it set up so quickly (nearly ended up with soap in a bowl!) and why I got the crumbly-bum on the end of the slices - no matter, I know how to remedy that. 

Hope you like the cut pictures - really loved making this soap and the fragrance is just beautiful!

    You're right the colors could not be more perfect for a mint fragrance. Sweet Mint goes hand in hand with the soft mint green color. Just perfect :)

    Such a refreshing green! I think it goes especially well with your minty scent!

    Lovely, dear! I will soap up and -with your permission- review it on my blog. Silly me, I was under the impression that you are States side but you are far closer than that. Perfect!..this is begging for a soap swap.
    You can find my addy on my blog, among the tab About.
