How has no one reviewed this place yet? Milagros is miraculous (har, har). I came here countless times during a brief stay at Breckenridge, just to wander around the store and smell everything. They have an insane selection of bar soaps (freshly cut from the loaf when you buy), body washes, massage bars, lotions, bath salts/scrubs, soy candles, and basically any soap-like thing you can think of, all handmade on the premises and featuring unique and [for the most part] pleasant scents. There is a series of soaps inspired by the 7 deadly sins and the 7 heavenly virtues. There are soaps for your dog. There are soaps for sensitive skin, or for exfoliating, or aromatherapy, etc. etc. This place beats Lush any day. If shipping costs were not added ridiculousness, I would just order from Milagros online. With each purchase, they also throw in two "ends" (leftover bits of a random loaf that didn't make the 1/2lb cut). If you're really broke, like me, they also sell the "ends" alone in packs of two or three for something like $5-- great for sampling purposes. Beyond the unique and pretty products, the staff was very friendly (though this is kind of necessary for a ski town) and the store itself was just plain cute. As of a few years ago, there was also a giant dog roaming the space (but he didn't touch the soaps, don't worry). All of it's quite pricey at something like $8 per 1/2lb, but I have not since found a soap since that is as amazing as their Banana Bliss, Creamy Coconut, or Mitty Gritty. Besides, maybe $8 is permissible when you consider that these soaps are probably being gifted, rather than being used on your own dirty, undeserving body.
