Today I’d like to thank all of our customers who sent us feedback on our products via e-mail or left messages on our voice machine while we were on vacation. Your feedback means a lot to us and we appreciate you taking the time to get back to us!

Here is what Janet J. e-mailed us:

“Dear Betty, 

I love your soaps! I am so glad that I found your company. They look and smell wonderful! They arrived in just a couple of days. Thank you also for the free soaps.

You have a new customer. Everything is done first class down to the free soaps and the note. I will be back for more.

Merry Christmas,

Janet J.”

Thank you! Happy Holidays!

With our Oatmeal Soap Collection, Magic Senses has combined the beauty of handcrafted glycerin soaps with the versatility of oatmeal – an ingredient providing a few moments of luxurious exfoliation that cleanses, moisturizes, and safeguards the skin. With attractive styles perfect for decorating your bathroom or filling holiday gift baskets, our Oatmeal Soap Collection is much more than a designer soap. Some of the benefits of oatmeal soap include:

Gentle Exfoliation: There’s a reason oatmeal is a common ingredient found in facial masks. Oatmeal supplies the skin with health benefits catering to any skin type – from oily to flaky and dry. With gentle precision, oatmeal doesn’t irritate sensitive skin and when paired with non-irritating glycerin and natural fragrances – you’ll see why many consumers have fallen in love with our Oatmeal Soap Collection.

Stimulating Cleansing Experience: Use Magic Senses oatmeal soap to cleanse your face and body with textured pampering that delivers the benefits of aromatherapy with natural fragrances, such as lavender, sandalwood, and amber.

Skin Protection: Create a rich lather with your oatmeal soap to deliver nourishment to the skin that lasts long after you’ve left your bath or shower. The soothing protection of oatmeal found in Magic Senses soap also helps counteract unforgiving weather conditions.

Skin Irritation Relief: Whether you’ve spent too much time in the sun, or experience seasonal rashes, oatmeal soap provides relief for people who suffer skin irritations. To best treat sensitive skin and irritation, choose skin care products that combine oatmeal and glycerin, such as our exquisitely handcrafted soap. Almost resembling a romantic sunrise on a beach, our Milk and Honey glycerin soap provides a pure bathing experience with a touch of “sweetness”.

We’re quite pleased to offer our Oatmeal Soap Collection at Magic Senses, which has already caught the eye of consumers and publications, such as the San Joaquin Magazine Holiday Issue 2009.  To take advantage of the soothing, relaxing, and healing qualities of handcrafted glycerin oatmeal soap, why don’t you browse our captivating selections that include:

• Lavender Oatmeal – Lightly scented with the fragrance of calming lavender, take in the visually inviting supply of oats contained within a nut-colored clear base.
• Oatmeal Almond – Steal away a few uplifting moments with our Oatmeal Almond glycerin soap – filled with oats and the light scent of sweet almond.
• Mystique – Supplying the body with an invigorating blend of sandalwood and amber fragrances, our Mystique glycerin soap also goes by the name of Sandalwood Amber Oatmeal Soap.

Whether you’re looking for inspirational bath and beauty products or a unique gift for the holidays, our Special Edition “Believe In You” Glycerin Soap highlights the splendor of the free-spirited butterfly.

“Believe In You” Glycerin Soap is comprised of a clear vegetable glycerin base with colorful flowers captured in the body of the butterfly. Using one of our most popular fragrances, you’ll emerge from a bath or shower completely refreshed – covered in a soft blanket of aromatic Sweet Pea. Another advantage to using glycerin-based soap is that it leaves the skin soft and accommodates sensitive skin conditions.

This year, we’re proud to have joined SheFinds.com and the “Count Me In” campaign geared towards supporting women-owned businesses. Butterflies are often used to represent change, transformation, and celebration – so it’s only natural that the perfect Magic Senses product to help promote the economic independence and growth of women-owned businesses is our Special Edition “Believe In You” Butterfly Glycerin Soap. 25% of the proceeds from the sale of “Believe in You” will be donated to the cause.

After you’re done making a difference with our ‘Believe in You’ butterflies, perhaps you’d like to sample some of our other soaps found in the Cheerful Butterfly Soap Collection. We offer plumeria-scented glycerin soap butterflies (shown to the right), which truly brings smiles out of hiding. Available in Pink, Blue, and Confetti, you’ll almost hesitate washing with such an attractive product, as many consumers decide to use our soaps as eye-catching decoration for bathrooms and guest bedrooms.

When ordering our special edition butterfly soap, please allow 1 to 2 days for handcrafting your very own creations – sealed with love and made with all-natural ingredients: vegetable glycerin, water, natural coloring, and fragrance oils. Since handmade products slightly vary in color and design, our glycerin soap makes the perfect one-of-a-kind gift for birthdays, wedding gifts, and Christmas.

This year we decided to join forces with SheFinds.com and Count Me In in their efforts to promote economic independence and the growth of women owned businesses. 25% of the proceeds will be donated to this cause.

We created a Special Edition design to be added to our Cheerful Butterfly Soap Collection. Made with vegetable glycerin base with little colorful flowers throughout, “Believe in You” Glycerin Soap smells like beautiful Sweet Pea.

Each soap is handcrafted with love here, in California, and weighs approx. 4.7 oz. It comes in a clear plastic box with a gold stretch loop bow, ready to be given as a gift!

Price: $6.50

Our latest design: Blue Musk Handcrafted Glycerin Soap!

Made with the best vegetable glycerin base, this soap belongs to the so-called “fresh&clean” category. The fragrance is mild; it almost resembles to Rain but is a little bit more perfumy.

The design: clear base with solid and clear blue swirls embracing each other. Not two bars are alike.

Each bar is handcrafted & handcut and weighs approx. 6 oz. You can buy it at Magic Senses for $6.75.

We have decided to offer a monthly raffle prize consisting of a soap sampler bag to one of our feed subscribers. Read our feed for a chance to win free samples of our gorgeous designer soap! The winner is going to be announced here at the beginning of every month.  

Two of our most popular fragrances in handcrafted glycerin soap have a new, vibrant design!

Mango Papaya Handcrafted Glycerin Soap has orange and white random ribbons scattered throughout a clear base. The fragrance is very fruity and refreshing!

Chamomile Sage Handcrafted Glycerin Soap has a playful yellow and white design in a clear base. The fragrance is very calming, yummy and long lasting. At least on our skin!!

I could not choose between the two of them… If I were to choose one, I know very well I would miss on the other as they are both fabulous! Colorful, fragrant and handcrafted with love (in California) these two new designs are now available for the Soap Subscriptions and Gift Boxes! Please visit our 2008 Collection of Handcrafted Glycerin Soap at MagicSenses.com Enjoy!
