New scented soap sighting: Avalon soaps at Trader Joe's. $2.69 for 5.6 oz. They had Ylang Ylang, Lemon Verbena and Lavender.
I'm such a scented soap ho...I started buying them almost a year and a half ago, about the same time I stopped buying that much makeup. Soaps are more practical than buying lots of makeup, since makeup goes bad and soaps don't. Besides, you can always use them to scent your clothes drawers and closets.
All 3 Avalon's smelled really, really good (as do other Avalon products such as their shampoos). They looked kind of neat and funky also--white bars with streaks of color. I think they have glycerin in them.
I'm still working on my Trader Jacques Ginger and Almond Oatmeal Exfoliator soap. It split, dramatically enough, in half lengthwise so I got two smaller soaps out of it. I'm working on finishing the second half. Good soap; long-lasting, a little bit moisturizing. Still I am a soap ho so I'm going to try one of the Avalon's next.
