Sophie’s Soaps certainly did not disappoint and is very true to the name. My god it was luxurious.

I filled the tub half way and then I dropped the Little Mermaid truffle in. It was a magical scene. The way it danced around the bathtub, changing the water to blue, and filling the entire bathroom with the soothing aroma of wild freesia, fresh lime, and lavender, was mesmerising.

It was really pleasant to get into. It felt extremely luxurious and I was instantly relaxed. I was also blue so I was certainly feeling like a little mermaid smurfette. I absolutely loved it. It was like the whole world had melted away. I had my candle lit and my glass of wine. I even put away my phone so that I could soak it all up and enjoy so very much needed “me time”. “This must be what a bath for royalty is like”, I thought to myself.

After, I rinsed my skin, removing any residue and it was like I had a new skin. I felt amazing. My skin was shimmering and glowing. My skin was also super soft. I was extremely relaxed.

This morning, I awoke feeling totally refreshed and recharged. My skin is still super soft and shimmering.

Sophie’s Soaps Luxury Bath Truffle is by far the best bath addition I have ever tried. It is my favourite and I am looking forward to trying the other scents – Orange Creamsicle, Lavender, and Lemon Sorbet.

You can purchase these beauties here. They are reasonably priced so you can feel like royalty without breaking the bank. A box of four (contains one of each scent) is €15 or if you would prefer to buy one to try, it is €4.

Review – Sophie’s Soaps

I discovered Sophie’s Soaps on Instagram and I was instantly fascinated. Someone from my hometown was creating these beautiful products.

I do not have much money and with 3 small children, it’s not easy to splash out on yourself.

Sophie’s Soaps was having a sale on all their products last weekend and I took this opportunity to try a couple of their products.

Their products look beautiful. They are eco friendly – plastic free, palm oil free, and cruelty free. The website is also beautiful and extremely informative. When you click on a product, you get a very detailed description of the product, how to use, and the ingredients. It is a really good, user friendly website.

I purchased 2 items – a conditioner bar and a luxury bath truffle. The conditioner bar is for all hair types. It stated “Curly-haired girls, prepare to be shocked” and it is the reason I chose it. My children have such beautiful curls that I am trying to find products that will protect them. I purchased the luxury bath truffle (Little Mermaid scent) for myself, just because I love baths. Delivery was free as I live in the Mullingar Town area but if you do not live in the area, delivery charges are reasonable (from €6.50 – €9 in Ireland).

Conditioner Bar
Luxury Bath Truffle

I ordered my products on Friday and on Monday morning I received a text from Sophie’s Soaps saying they were hoping to deliver that afternoon and asking if it suited me. Around 3pm I received another text informing me that my package had arrived (all contactless due to Covid-19). I opened my door and on my doorstep was a small brown paper bag (eco-friendly). I was extremely excited and a soon as I picked up the bag, the aroma hit me. It was like I died and went to heaven. I removed my items from the bag very carefully because as beautiful as the truffle is, it is quite delicate (a couple of bits had already fallen off before I removed it so I knew I better be careful). The conditioner bar was inside an eco-friendly bag. I was a little shocked when I removed the conditioner bar (I got the sample size, I did not envision exactly what it would look like, but I knew it was not going to be massive) but it is very cute. I found it a bit odd that there was not a business card or something depicting it was from Sophie’s Soaps. Obviously, I knew where it came from (I did buy it) so I thought nothing more of it.

My order

On Monday night, I was on Instagram looking at Sophie’s Soaps Stories. On it was a picture from a customer showing off the beautiful products they received, alongside a business card with a personal note wrote on it. Now I started to question it. Why did this person get it? Is it just for people who pay shipping? Or is it for people who spend more money? Or is it just people Sophie’s Soaps know? If it was me, I would send it to all my customers or none at all. At the very least, do not advertise it and make people question why their order was not worthy of even just a piece of paper with the logo on it. I even questioned if I wanted to use the products or just leave them in that bag forever. Which, can I say, is such a pity because through the entire experience of following them on Instagram to getting my order, I have been extremely excited and fascinated.

I am definitely going to use the products and I 100% recommend following them on Instagram (@sophiessoapsireland) and purchasing at least one item. That one thing could have just been an oversight, I just recommend to Sophie’s Soaps to perhaps pay attention to it.

I support Sophie’s Soaps. I hope this business thrives and exceeds all its goals and expectations. Sophie’s Soaps creates mesmerising art that you can indulge in from head to toe. I think it’s extremely important to support each other and help each other out in any way we can.
