Handmade Soaps: Saturday Soap Review

Saturday Soaps Review

I had the pleasure of being a vendor at the Queens Botanical Garden's Spring Festival.  My neighbor was Saturday soaps, and this is a weakness for me.  I love handmade soaps, bath products, oils, lotions etc.  Belinda the owner was really fun and sweet making the day a pleasure.  At the end I picked up a few treasures:

Fine Lavender Soap and Body Oil (Lotion)

Rosy and Peppy Soap

&

May Chang Soap

Pricing: Soaps range from 5.50-6.00

Body Oil (lotion) 10.00

Scents:  All are concentrated with lovely natural smelling essential oils, when lathering in the shower these soaps/shampoo bars really smooth over your skin with the exact scent that you initially smell.  The may chang is very awakening with a citrus style scent without smelling articfical.  The Rosy and Peppy was my favorite with a minty burst and granules for exfoliating.  The exfoliant was not too abrasive just right.  I love lavender if you are looking for an authentic lavender soap this is for you!  The lotion compliments the soap beautifully great for someone who wants hydration without the heavyness of a body butter.

Packaging:  I love the packaging really simple eco concious and meaningful with quotes, fresh ingredients listed, and a tag line for the scent printed on the paper wraps.   Making the experience of shopping with Saturday Soaps that much more enjoyable.

All products were purchased with my own money, all photos belong are mine.

Handmade Soap Haul From Monkey Barsoaps

I recently sold my jewels at the lovely Astoria Market at The Bohemian Beer Garden In Astoria Queens on 9/25/2011.  One thing I love about attending fairs or vending is you get to meet the artists face to face.  There passion, knowledge and product truly stands out beyond any computer screen.

I met Johnny Scarlet owner and creator of Monkey Barsoaps, anything beauty related I gravitate to instantly.  He was interested in buyers wants and needs, and I appreciated his attentiveness in regards to ingredient concerns.  Packaging was hands down my favorite of any soap company I have purchased from, I have bought so many brands.  Monkey Barsoaps offers quality soaps handmade in the USA.

I purchased 3 bars of soap :

1) Oatmeal Milk And Honey - 6.00 a bar

Anything honey is my ultimate favorite this has a warm sweet smell.  If you are a lover of anything honey this is your bar, with oats for gentle exfoliation this makes the perfect bar to get smooth and clean.

2) Hoegaarden Bars 6.00 a bar

This bar smells of fresh citrus delightfulness, this bar has a really nice clean smell.  Not overpowering and pine sol like, this bar has the perfect hint of invigorating lemon like scent.  I love soap that makes me feel clean smell clean and awakens me on a overtired morning.

3) Guinness Soap: 6.00 a bar

I have always been intrigued with beer soaps, but I really never had the guts to go and purchase online with out a good ol scratch and sniff.  While I attended this event I was able to smell the dark sexy scents lingering from this bar.  This is a unisex smell I feel its not for everyone if you love sweet food like smells this isn't for you if you want something clean yet sexy this is the scent.
