Handcrafted Soaps by Southern Pleasures

I’m mainly a shower gel girl but there are times when I simply can’t resist soaps, especially pretty and luxurious soaps which contribute to an enjoyable shower experience. I used to pop into stores such as Lush Soaps simply to admire their beautiful soaps and bath bombs which came in delicious flavours such as Lemon, Raspberry and Strawberry which often sounded good enough to eat! Unfortunately, Lush is on the pricier side and I often could not bring myself to pay so much for just soap!

Luckily, there are now lots of great options available for handcrafted and luxurious soaps and one online store I particularly like is Southern Pleasures which specialises in handcrafted luxurious cold-processed soaps made in the prettiest colours! Southern Pleasures soaps are olive oil based and sometimes adjusted with almond oil or shea butter which are famous for their great moisturizing properties.

See more beautiful soap designs below.

I find Southern Pleasures’ prices rather reasonable as their soaps retail for approximately US$4.25 a bar up to US$23 for a variety of 6 different soaps. These prices are much cheaper than those in Lush which tend to be sold by weight.

They make great gift packs too if you are looking for a gift for a friend. A pretty little pack like the Last Minute Gift below (retails at US$10) which comes with a soap of your choice, a sisal cloth to exfoliate while showering and a rustic wooden soap dish. Simply indicate the type of soap you want and the colour of ribbon you prefer and let Southern Pleasures surprise the recipient of your gift!

Southern Pleasures does a variety of fragranced oil and essential oils soaps, some in delicious sounding flavours such as Black Raspberry and Apple Fruitasia which are simply bursting with fruity flavours guaranteed to leave you refreshed and sweet smelling after your bath.

For those who suffer from chapped lips, do try their variety of lip balms which come in a choice of Creme Brulee formulated with avocado oil, Buttercream lip balm which is a delicious sounding combination of avocado oil and cocoa butter and Black Cherry lip balm with the aroma of sweet black cherries. These lip balms will not only provide lasting moisture for your lips but have you licking your lips

There are some great soaps on sale at only US$3 a bar which make great gifts or a little luxury for yourself at inexpensive prices. Shipping information is available on Southern Pleasures’ site and they are happy to refund any difference should you be overcharged for shipping!
