Honeysuckle Solid Perfume Tutorial

Filed Under: Bath & Body Tutorials

This Honeysuckle Solid Perfume smells amazing, and is so easy to make!

Solid perfume is convenient for traveling, or for touch ups throughout the day. This sophisticated Honeysuckle Solid Perfume has notes of tuberose, nectarine, jasmine and of course, honeysuckle. The Solid Perfume Base makes this project easy to make: melt down the base and add the Heavenly Honeysuckle Fragrance Oil. Made with coconut oil, sweet almond oil and avocado oils, the base also nurtures the skin. A small amount of Rose Gold Mica adds a hint of color to the perfume. If you’re looking for sparkle on the skin, feel free to add more mica.

Each order from Bramble Berry during August includes a .5 oz. sample of fragrance oil. Heavenly Honeysuckle Fragrance Oil is the featured fragrance for August.

Argan & Ginseng Gel Eye Serum on Soap Queen TV

Filed Under: Bath & Body Tutorials

Argan & Ginseng Gel Eye Serum

I’m so excited about this Soap Queen TV because it’s a little out of the normal soap project. Surprise! It’s an eye serum that also doubles as a great eye make-up remover. Argan & Ginseng Gel Eye Serum is gentle and skin-loving with ingredients like argan oil, jojoba oil and ginseng extract. Argan oil is known for its high content of antioxidants, and is popular for a wide variety of cosmetic applications. To learn more about argan oil, click here. Ginseng extract comes from the ginseng root, which is commonly used for homeopathic treatments. The addition of cera bellina wax gives this serum a soft and easily-spreadable gel texture. To apply, use your finger to gently pat the serum around the eye area…a little goes a long way! I recommend applying this serum at night before bed.

What You’ll Need:
1.2 oz. Argan Oil
.7 oz. Jojoba Oil
.2 oz (10 mL) Ginseng Extract
.2 oz. Cera Bellina Wax
.2 Vitamin E Oil
10 Slidey Lip Tins
