I know it's been a very long time since I last did a soap review and I thank those who have stuck by me, encouraged me to bring this blog back. This last year has been hectic, to say the least, and a lot of my soaps got damaged in a couple of moves. My fault and I should have been more mindful with packing them. I like to photograph the soaps right out of the package for this blog, just to show them off all brand new and pretty! While I had the chance to use a few soaps, they were not something that I wanted to photograph for the blog. Luckily, two soaps survived, Curly Tail and Green Tea. I hope to get back in business come the new year! I have missed this blog greatly.
Curly Tail is a light brown bar of soap, topped with cappuccino bodysafe mica. The art for the soap was created by Sigil.

This picture also shows a lot of frosting, which Con*Tact states is something that can happen to the soaps. Keep in mind, I got this soap in February 2012. Besides a bit of frosting, the soap is in perfect condition. Con*Tact's products hold up.
This is one of those soaps that you'll smell as soon as you open the box. There's chocolate. There's a lot of chocolate. Do you like chocolate? Do you like to smell like chocolate? This is the soap for you. Do you hate chocolate? Does chocolate make you rage? This is not the soap for you. It is a very chocolaty soap and the scent reminds me a lot of Palmer's Cocoa Butter or a Tootsie Roll. It's a very rich and decadent scent. Think a heavenly bar of dark chocolate instead of a piece of milk chocolate leftover from Halloween or a fake chocolate scent.
Now if you're looking for something that perfectly balances chocolate and coffee, the soap is lacking a little in the coffee department. It could have been just me, but I didn't really pick up on the espresso. If you handed me the soap and asked me to describe the scent, I would just say that it was chocolate. There's maybe a slight hint of it somewhere, but the chocolate really takes over. It's not overwhelming, however and it's a scent that will stay on your skin afterwards.
Curly Tail has actually become one of my favorite soaps from Con*Tact and I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of chocolate!
