[@jenXer]

Possible video idea. You buy an Amazon kit and then try and build your own version for the same amount. Might be fun to see the value or where you would prioritize spending

[@sarahbrivio4159]

This is such a good idea!

[@shesellsfish]

Excellent idea

[@juliakwiatkowski647]

Would love to watch this!

[@cakegasm9831]

That would be so useful!!

[@mir1383]

This would be an AWESOME video

[@hayleyyorke4730]

I actually got the more expensive kit for Christmas last year. While I did like it and think it's a great intro to soap making, I did have a few gripes that Katie didn't mention: The instructions don't tell you how many soaps you can make it - zero indication is given whatsoever, which I found frustrating when I was trying to determine how much to heat up/melt for the different molds. The purple rectangle flower molds also have some writing that embed into the harden soap that say "To You Health" when it should probably say "To Your Health". Also, doesn't include alchol to spray the soaps to remove bubbles, but I don't fault it for that. They may have made upgrades to the kit since I received it last year (the box it came in has an upated design) but overall it looks pretty identical to what I received last year. Just wanted to leave behind these additional thoughts in case anyone was considering purchasing it.

[@awseven1144]

I actually check Amazon more recently, apparently enough people complained that they removed the words from the floral molds in their more recent kits. That may be why she doesn’t mention it, they’ve fixed it. It doesn’t look like there were words in the purple molds

[@stephsaguudefan1753]

I was pleasantly surprised with both of these kits. The cheap one gave you almost everything you needed which is rare with the cheap ones plus the final product looked great and it had enough for you to make quite a bit of soap. The expensive one gave three REALLY nice molds, I love how the flower ones came out, plus it also contained a huge amount of soap. I'm honestly surprised the most expensive soap kit was only $80 I figured there would be ones for well over 100.

[@reverendasmus]

Did the vanilla discolor the purple soaps? As someone who is allergic to all fragrance, I'm happy to see a kit for kids without it. I wish they had that when I was a kid.

[@butterflyminder]

Oh gosh I am completely in love with those flower moulds! Would be great to see what you could create with them using cold process and your higher-end colours/scents/additives.

[@alurafox666]

This video has inspired me to make paw-print soaps to give to my clients (I'm a dog sitter)

[@nicanonymus2491]

Good idea! With a nice gift tag. 👍🏻

[@vadskamanta]

Katie picks up the fragrances and I instantly wonder if they have a vanilla scent. Katie says there's a vanilla scent and my first thought is "I wonder if it will discolor the soap". All in all, I think you've taught us well Katie xD (also is there an update on the discoloration?)

[@jessicajames2398]

I can’t explain how much I needed this. Katie’s presence is so welcoming and comforting.

[@emilyauld8622]

I'm so impressed with that cheap kit! I totally thought for that price it would be crap. That's awesome!

[@JodiLeaSnakeQueen]

OMG I want that $79 kit! Those molds did it for me 😍

[@adde9506]

I checked to see if the molds came separately. They don't. At least not on Amazon. But even if the kit isn't the cheapest way, it's worth it to have all the moving parts at the same time. I might get it when I have some pocket money.

[@captnsteaks3114]

The are available on Amazon, the each come in a pack of 2 with another mold, I found them on my Amazon (German). But in the pictures there are American instructions and measurements so I'm sure you can find dem. my comments with the links got deleted, sorry

[@lozenger8]

You are an excellent reviewer. I love how even handed you are. These soapmas videos have been giving me so much joy!

[@ravenofroses]

3:56 fun fact: the first time i tried to make soaps from a kit, my friend and i accidentally doused the flame on her grandmother's gas stove because the instructions neglected to tell us that we had to melt the soap chunks in a separate bowl on TOP of the boiling water. we were definitely old enough to figure out that part by ourselves, but alas. it was the early 2000s, and we hadn't actually seen anyone make soap from a kit before.

[@FairbrookWingates]

First time a friend and I melted down old wax to make new candles (before the internet was a thing for soap making how-to) we managed to shatter the glass w/the heat and spill the wax all over her mother's brand new electric stove top!

[@pemilystallwark]

Royalty Soaps kid-friendly melt-and-pour kit WHEN? I feel like your instructions would be SO CLEAR and make it so the kid would get a great result with a maximum amount of their own twist on the craft and a minimum amount of "this isn't working right.." or "Oh no it broke when I took it out of the mold". Idk how you would go about doing something like that, but you would make an excellent one if you decided to! I was very pleasantly surprised with both of these kits! Tbh I want those flower molds, and I was so psyched when you highlighted the flowers the way my brain wanted!

[@mandycorbett9634]

Thank you for the melt and pour tips! I like to make soap for fun a few times a year and have thought about using dried flowers sometime. Now I know not to! I would have been so disappointed to waste the materials.

[@everlastingscribe]

I loved this comparison! Thanks so much for doing both. Not knowing much about melt-and-pour and having nieces who love this channel, this is a great birthday idea (they're both born on Feb 26 and I'm always looking for something fun for them to try. And no they aren't twins, just on the same day 3 years apart. It's made for some interesting birthdays)

[@pattiemoseley8752]

That was my mom's birthday 💖💖

[@lefthandedclogger]

Hehe my kids all have birthdays in the same week but different years and it always makes for funny conversations. Ha!

[@sharonglazier2552]

The same large soap kit in Canada $180.49. Canadian prices are crazy. Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family.

[@Ducttaper4JC2]

For some reason this video reminded me that I had a melt and pour soap kit as a kid and it had a frog mold and for whatever reason I was really into making frog shaped soap. It was so random and so funny to remember!

[@sweeett8194]

I love when Katie tests and tries different kits. Great video 😊

[@gingerhowe5247]

Being a mother,wife and business owner looks great on her. Her glow up has been amazing.

[@lilmeowmeow6784]

I'm actually super impressed with that Amazon kit. I didn't expect there to be that much stuff in that box. But even the cheap one is pretty impressive. Usually kids kits kinda suck lol

[@gilded_lady]

Its so pleasant to have two good kits!

[@moo_chick8736]

My daughter's and I have used the cheaper kit and really enjoyed it- I felt the same about the glitter though.

[@one_smol_duck]

My cat was very interested in this video. Idk why, I guess she's been on Amazon looking for soap kits or something. But she was hooked, despite usually paying no mind to any KZbin videos that don't prominently feature birds or squirrels.

[@JodiLeaSnakeQueen]

Pretty sure you did the unicorn version of the YOU NIVERSE kit a few years ago and I bought it for my kids and they really enjoyed it! :D

[@kat_watson]

I’m obsessed with this ocean waves look of the soap!!!! 19:38

[@rainysunflower384]

Those round flower soap molds are so cute!

[@monicastephens7345]

PS: Thank you Katie for inspiring me to step out of the box. I use to be nervous trying new FO’s and bolder colorants,etc. and now I can’t wait for new products, ingredients, and techniques to try! Merry Christmas to you and you whole family!❤🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️

[@pattiemoseley8752]

I love it when you do the comparisons like this. I am very surprised that the cheap box had so much good stuff in it. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family

[@Rosie-yt8nd]

oh having those details stand out against the background is so pretty!! maybe for the very little ones doing just a dollop and then spreading it with a stick would get the really satisfying tiny details without filling the background too

[@user-zw5mo2kt4l]

Yayy I am so ready for this!!♡ Happy holidays everyone!✨️

[@jonni2317]

There are some cold process soap making kits on amazon now, does anyone know if Katie has reviewed those? It would be cool to watch

[@hhholly]

Thanks Katie. I’ve enjoyed watching soapmas this season

[@seofra8252]

SCENTS AREN'T NEEDED. As somebody who is allergic to scent oils, I genuinely appreciate a soap I can use.

[@adde9506]

I love these craft kit videos. You have so much fun and you are so in your element. It's great to watch.

[@SamIAm10262]

Happy holidays to you! Thank you for putting this together!

[@pammasheppard1338]

I love the bar with the hearts! I am always drawn to heart things.

[@kristinbuehrer]

I live for these comparison videos!

[@sabrinanelsen8660]

I love watching you do these kits!

[@craftykatmomma]

I just love your videos of you crafting and chatting with us!! Thanks for the stellar content!!

[@emaaleigh90]

Oh wow those flower molds are absolutely beautiful

[@ericasibley8086]

Love love love this. Thank you Katie and have a Merry Christmas with your family.

[@PrettyAliceNight]

Pretty! The blue and white loaf one looks like an ocean!

[@aicirtkciub9167]

The flower molds were so pretty 😍

[@krystalleighton]

Thank you for covering botanicals in melt and pour - I see new soapmakers do it all the time and it gives me the heebies. Maybe they'll learn from you.

[@amanda-lynn]

Merry Christmas to you all!

[@i.m.dmented3245]

I love your soapmas kit testing videos. 😍

[@SinisterXRouge]

loved hearing your thoughts and opinions! merry soapmas!

[@sharonv5353]

I’m loving your soapmas videos. ❤

[@jaydendingman3258]

This is super cool! Merry soapmas 🧼🌲

[@alb91878]

I agree with you on the larger kit particularly! Yes you could definitely find anywhere from 5 or 10 pounds of melting pour base with a few colorants and some fragrances and even a cutter for less than $80. You can probably find that for less than 40 depending on the tides that you buy. On average when I do take the time to get stuff like this I spent about $45.

[@Theworldiscomplex]

Merry soapmas

[@vidhoard]

Both kits are surprisingly good!

[@amberlysoaps8780]

They probably don't add it bc if they did it won't ship to po boxes. That's why it was hard for me to soap in the boonys lol couldn't order lye or alcohol and a few other things

[@agentverona]

I’ve done that Youniverse one! It was a good time, I used the soap in my bathroom.

[@Maggie66112]

You should make a soup soap. A soap thatblooks like soup

[@S..K_]

I love your soapmess videos! 😊

[@IonIsFalling7217]

Your hair looks so incredibly pretty in this video! Wow!

[@iseetheWAYVision]

The round soaps are so pretty

[@CL-we8tn]

Thumbs up, great to have comparisons.

[@willardjames2685]

Love all the videos!!!

[@ghosty8193]

The flower molds are super cute! I'd love to see you do some more soaps with those molds but with your own colouring and scents.

[@katieprice4201]

That blue and white looks like a glacier.. makes me wanna make some like it

[@elsaaziz9112]

Absolutely love this video, great comparison, LOVED your opinions, personally definitely agreed with all of them, great work!

[@angel_vii]

Anyone else hoping Katie does a collab with Brambleberry or someone in the future for a Royal Soap Kit?

[@Kirby69420Litty]

This was such a fun video! Also the makeup is amazing, you look great

[@dinibo]

Great video! I really enjoyed the format of the video and it was really fun seeing you make a new style of soap! Really great job!

[@silverliningma]

I would love another video of soap maker reacts! Those are so fun!

[@AlexandraFallenQ]

it's been so long since i've watched your videos (i go in phases. lol) now i'm gonna knit and watch all yours...and ponder if i wanna try soap making lol!

[@SamSpen]

Just as I got some evening popcorn, perfect timing.

[@rachelleh5237]

Thank you for this, so fun! Katie love your hair, look so cute today. Love your shirt too. Merry Christmas

[@Mykasan]

it just makes me want to buy a mold to makes soap. it looked so good.

[@iseetheWAYVision]

That rose one was my favorite

[@heatherbrumfield1406]

I love these kinds of videos I could watch this all day and night lol love your videos!!!

[@heatherbrumfield1406]

P.S. my 3 year old loves watching you too lol

[@nariu7times328]

yay soapmas!

[@mojosbigsticks]

I really enjoyed that. Thank you.

[@brendajackson294]

Katie you look marvelous on this one. Hair and make up woo hoo. Love the comparison on the kits.

[@jessicaderstine4061]

I'm grateful to know the cheap kit is fragrance free!! My kiddo drools over those kinds of kits and we can't bc of fragrance

[@Kiley665]

This was very fun and interesting!

[@TheJim6226]

This is useful to know as I've researched on Amazon

[@kellyy8735]

idk why but this video entertained me more than it should have

[@merandagee154]

Thank you so much for creating this video! It has inspired me to get the rainbow kit to try with my daughter. I also got fragrances. :) Your instructions are always super clear and helpful. I am hoping to try more melt and pour projects in the future. I've always wanted to try it.

[@geniej2378]

Wow it's been a minute since I watched this channel (happy new year!) and the audio is amazing now!

[@waywardgypsy]

You’ve inspired me to use up my melt and pour for holiday gifts. 😂🤣

[@tweetthang96]

The kids’ kit is pretty and I’d have loved it as a kid. I just want those floral molds from the expensive kit now though lol

[@KennyCaretaker]

When I got the more expensive kit a couple years ago I got way less soap base and more contained to melt the soap base in I love Decorating the melt and pour soap it is so easy and fun

[@schellsc]

That big kit is pretty cool! I don't do well with the miter box-like cutter either lol and the bars end up wonky looking lol.

[@LikaLaruku]

Something familiar looking about that brown box. Kinda gives off "Kroger Private Selection" vibes.

[@jadedbelle4788]

I'm guessing its easier for companies not to include rubbing alcohol due to safety issues around transporting and storingand who might access the alcohol

[@BecTries]

XD how much of a rebel of a kid would they be if they were making soap on the regular? "CHELSEA YOU BETTER NOT BE MAKING SOAP UNSUPERVISED AGAIN!"

[@KarmaDash]

That tiny spatula would be cute to make a mould out of to make a little embed

[@mamaof3kids5keets28]

I actually like the cutter, as I can get my soaps cut straight. My cutter is lacquered wood. I also bought mine with 2 loaf molds on Amazon for cheaper than I found anywhere else. Perhaps I got lucky. I do purchase my melt and pour and other supplies elsewhere. Unfortunately, I am too scared to do cold press. I have a narrow airway and do not have a well ventilated place in my apartment to mix it.

[@amyrisseeyw1203]

If you use ice to mix it I’ve noticed I don’t have any fumes!

[@corneliastreet2491]

I was literally going through all the soapmas vids when you posted this 😂

[@michellesmith702]

Hey! The loaf soap totally looks like the Outback Mate soap from Lush!

[@zeusathena26]

When using the batch cutter box, slide the cutter angled backwards so it slides down the back of the cut it is in. I recommend it be sanded so it won't snag on splinters.

[@lburton874]

First kit… just adding a little bit of glitter…. Dumps most of the pack…. On point Katie on point.

[@kofeebeanz]

Great review!

[@monicastephens7345]

This is a fabulous video! 😎😎😎

[@kanadiangurl]

I think that is a good idea for another video. Take expensive soap kits and shop separately to recreate them cheaper.

[@KristenZianourry2015]

I had gotten the rainbow soap kit for a Christmas gift in 2019 it was very fun to make

[@RockstarWarriorLady]

22:53 The blue on the package looks similar to the blue you made. Maybe it the camera making both look green
