SoapRocklets – Turquoise

“Mechanical Shark”

This soap is a bizarre mystery right down to its name! It had no packaging other than being wrapped in cellophane, with the name “SoapRocklets” printed on it—packaging which I've since lost. So I'm only going by memory (and the picture I posted on Instagram (see my soap review IG for pictures of all these soaps)). It's an odd-shaped rectangle bar of soap that is turquoise at on one end, with a black stripe around the middle, and then clear glycerin soap at the other end. Through the clear part you can see some sparkly metallic, copper-colored object inside. So what it looks like is there is a half turquoise, half clear soap built around a sparkly rock, and sealed with a black band. As the soap wore away, I expected the rock to be exposed, but it never was. As it got smaller and smaller, there was less and less copper, as well—which led me to believe that it's all a magic trick—an optical illusion. Eventually, the turquoise part and the clear part separated, leaving me with a little turquoise soap that looks like a shark's tooth. It's all been very disturbing. But not bad! This is a fine soap! It's nice on your skin, and the smell is a pretty intense floral fragrance of some kind—one I love. I'm not sophisticated enough to name the floral source—but then I don't even know the name of the soap, for sure. All that not knowing never stopped me from enjoying this soap!
