Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned the magic of Con*Tact Caffeine's Twilight Sparkle/Black Magic soap!
I'll admit that I love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Every Saturday morning I wait until it's uploaded onto YouTube then head down to the dining hall at school and watch it on my iPad over a bowl of Lucky Charms. Needless to say, I was so excited when Con*Tact came out with My Little Pony soaps. I was lucky to be able to score a "Mane 6" Pack for my birthday (thank you very much, Rourkie!).
The first one that I tried was Twilight Sparkle / Black Magic, 'mane-ly' (hah. See what I did there?) due to the fact that my boyfriend bought one for himself and I thought it would be cute if we tried them together.
Yeah, I'm that kind of a girlfriend. LDRs aren't easy and I like little connection things like sharing soap experiences over 3000 miles.
I also wanted to grab his opinion on it.
The soap itself is a purple bar, topped with purple mica with a thin stip of pink mica down the side to look like Twilight's mane.

The label was created by the extremely talented Anuvia
The scents in the soap are a pretty magical blend, consisting of sandalwood, ylang ylang, and patchouli with base notes of baby powder and vanilla. Sandalwood alone is a very grounding scent and one of my favorites. Ylang ylang on its own is an exotic floral scent but blended in, it didn't make the soap smell flowery. I disagree slightly with the 'base note' description of the powder and found it to be more prevalent than I thought it would be. That was the first scent that I picked up once I opened it. The vanilla scent can be likened to more of a natural vanilla scent, rather than something such as vanilla icing. While I would certainly label it a bit musky, I haven't found it to be truly masculine, though compared to the rest of the Mane 6 set, it's the most masculine. Boyfriend, who isn't a huge fan of patchouli but still enjoyed the product, found that the scent lingered on his skin after use but wasn't extremely strong. He would certainly use it again. He did want to point out that, in comparison to the other caffeinated soaps from Con*Tact that he's tried, this one gave him the greatest jolt. We realize that there can be a few explanations for this but he thought it should be worth mentioning.

While it's a 'magical' scent brought out by the ylang ylang and sandalwood, it's also a very clean scent, brought out more by the scent of powder. Overall, I really enjoyed this soap.
Your faithful student (and clean wuffie!)
