Let’s not waste any more time. We have two winners for this giveaway they they are:

I will e-mail the winners tonight and they have 2 days to get back to me or other names will be chosen.

If you didn’t win this time, stay tuned as we have another giveaway coming soon! And you don’t want to miss that one! :)

 

Once in a while, we like to let our lovely fans take a look at what we do behind the scenes. Today, I want to show you our color swatches. These are basic colors we use in our glycerin soap. Dozens of variations and shades can be obtained by combining any of them or by simply adding more or less color. They are skin safe and vegan friendly. We have 12 more swatches that are not included below, mostly because we don’t use them very much. :)

Magic Senses color swatches

When creating a new soap, we make at least a couple of loaves in the colors and design we think would best fit the fragrance and theme we are working on. Each batch is then given the test of time and, amongst many other things, tested for color bleeding, discoloration, etc.

Sometimes, it is really hard to choose the colors for a new design, that’s why we ask our customers for feedback (especially during our craft shows).

To view our designer glycerin soap, please visit MagicSenses.com.

It is a gorgeous summer day here in Northern California, and we are getting ready for a new soap design! Stay tuned! And don’t forget to enter our Watermelon soap giveaway that ends on June 30th!

Love,

Betty @ Magic Senses

 

This week our beautiful Mardi Gras glycerin soap is back in stock. We decided to give it a small “confetti makeover”. We hope you like it! Here are pictures BEFORE and AFTER:

Before

After

For those of you who haven’t tried our Mardi Gras soap yet, we can tell you that it smells citrusy, refreshing and delicious at the same time. We used Yuzu fruit fragrance, one of our most loved citrus fragrances. Other soaps in the same category: Lemon Drops, Lemon Lavender, Lime cooler and Sex on the Beach. All made with our vegetable glycerin soap base. Vegan friendly. Tested on friends, not animals.

We have just made this batch of Mardi Gras soap; get yours while it lasts! Visit us at MagicSenses.com!

Chamomile Oatmeal Handcrafted Glycerin Soap

Chamomile Oatmeal Handcrafted Glycerin Soap

We have great news! We are, finally, releasing a new soap design we’ve been working on for a while: ♥Chamomile Oatmeal Glycerin Soap♥! You can find it under our Harmony Collection.

The Chamomile fragrance is one of the most calming fragrances out there and the healthy supply of oatmeal makes it a little sweet.

The oatmeal will help you get rid of that dry skin by gently exfoliating it while the glycerin will keep it moisturized.

As you can tell, this is a new shape for us and we hope you’ll find it much easier to handle than our standard sliced soap bars. Each soap weighs approx. 5 to 5.5 oz and comes in its own clear box with a stretch loop, ready to be offered as a gift.

The really nice thing is that we can offer it at a great price: $5.75!

The beautiful soap dish is for display only and was made by our friends at BPR Designs.

Here are more pictures of our ♥ Chamomile Oatmeal Glycerin Soap ♥. Enjoy!

I have excellent news, my friends! Magic Senses has been featured in The Globetrotter’s Get-Gorgeous Guide! Here is what Ms. Debbi Kickham has to say about us:

Belly Up to The Bar

You’ll not only belly up to the bar – but you’ll cover your entire body – in any of the superlative scented soaps from Magic Senses. Here’s where I get on my soapbox – to tell you there’s no reason to suffer with tiny hotel soaps, or even a plain old white soap. Magic Senses, a family owned business, offers an irresistable array of beautiful handmade glycerin soaps that you can pack in your bags – so you can scent your entire suitcase just like you scent your drawers. Take the Orange Clove, for example – and please do. This smells just like a pomander ball (or Agraria potpourri) and is unique to the market. Other fragrances include luscious watermelon, lovely lime cooler, glorious gardenia – as well as plumeria, mango papaya, raspberry, green apple, grapefruit and so many more. These beautiful soaps definitely raise the bar on getting clean (www.magicsenses.com).
