The kit isn't bad, however, I'm not crazy about the scale, it can only hold 3kg. I'd much rather see you get a scale that will hold 5kg. (they're not expensive).
Also not crazy about the "blend of oils". You'll get much more for your money if you choose a recipe that has some common oils used and buy them separately (olive, coconut, shea butter, palm/castor).
Also you will certainly want a stick blender, which is $15-20. This is a must have, not sure why the kit doesn't include it.
Anyway, if you think this is something that you will stick with and want to make more, I suggest buying your own quality stuff.
Stick Blender - $15 (Proctor silex at Walmart)
Digital scale $12 (linked above)
Digital Thermometer - $9 (Taylor waterproof - look on Amazon)
Goggles - $2 (amazon)
Isopropyl Alcohol - $3 (Walmart)
Spoons/silicone spatulas/bowls/cups - Dollar store - maybe $7?
Gloves (box of disposables) $4 (Walmart)
Mold $12 (Amazon)
Lye $10
Distilled water $1 (Walmart)
Oil will cost you less per oz if you buy in quantity, but even "regular" sizes of olive/coconut/shea butter/palm (Palm oil is a bit controversial because of sustainability concerns, all you can really do besides avoiding it altogether is buy from reputable companies that state that their Palm oil is RSPO certified) will cost you around $50 (Walmart and Amazon).
All told you're still under $100 and you've got a great kit that's got a lot more in it (more oil, blender, thermometer, bowls, etc).
It doesn't come with fragrance or lavender buds, but you can add some essential oil for a few dollars more and for what it's worth, I strongly suggest your first batch should be scent-free and color-free. Get your basic soap recipe the way you want it, then add scent, color, etc.
