I have not had a subscription box in about 6 months.
Birchbox got boring, Beauty Army never had any openings, I’ve heard more “meh”
than “yay!” about Ipsy, and Julep…lets not even start with that…
Anywho in one of my make up groups, I heard about
FortuneCookie Soap Company. They have a box. It’s $20 every 3 months, and you get a code for $10 off your next order (which really makes
it the cheapest box out there) I wanted to try it. I like baths, why the hell
not…
This is my first ever Fortune Cookie Soap Company Soap Box.
I plan to buy as much of this stuff as my poor little wallet will allow… THAT
being said, let’s get down to business. I’ve finally tested/tried everything in
the box so I feel confident in my review.
The Soapbox comes with a card like Birchbox (and I am assuming
others) that tell you what everything is.
First off let me say how much I love the good/evil theme
they had going on.
Let’s just make it easy and go down the list, because there
REALLY was not a bad product in the box. I wish I would have smelled everything
before I read the descriptions, though. Just so I wouldn’t be told what to
think. Anywho…
Native Nectar Body Wash: just like it says, it smelled
exactly like you would think a coconut would smell, it was softly fragranced. Not
in the least bit heavy or over powering. It felt so awesome on my skin. It was
soft (which is odd to say about a liquid) but sometimes you know how you can
get some body wash or soap and when you get it wet it feels kind of harsh? Yeah,
this is not.
Afternoon Delight OCD: Ok, I will say I am one of the people
addicted to hand sanitizer. I know how horrible it is to over use it, but I can’t
help it. I can’t walk into a B&BW without walking out with at least 5 hand sanitizers.
This one was on par with those…however, there was glitter in it. I could see it…I
couldn’t feel it. In B&BW I can feel the glitter, not in OCD.
Marshmallow Dreams Cuticle Butter: THIS is going to be one
of those “holy grail” items. I will reorder this over and over and over again.
Remember how everyone freaked the hell out about Lush’s Lemony Flutter? Yeah,
this is about 800 times better. Try it, I promise you will not be disappointed.
It’s a solid, but has a very, VERY low melting point my hands were freezing and
it still melted in wonderfully. The smell…oh my gosh, the smell… I hated using
lemony flutter, the smell made me sick. This smells like marshmallows on a
campfire. It says sticky sweet, but it’s not as sweet as you think. There is a
musk that tamps it down; it has to be the basil.
Make It Rain Whipped Cream: From the first second I put it
on, it felt so smooth and silky. It lasted a good while. The scent dissipated
quickly, though. It was not my favorite, but it was very pleasant and soothing.
Not overpowering.
Forbidden Fruit Fortune Cookie Soap: TBH, I thought I was
going to hate this. I’m not a fan of blueberry. And the smell was overpowering
when I opened the box. This was the absolute last thing I tried. It’s not bad. The
smell was tolerable once it got wet. I used it as a shaving medium. My legs
were so soft and silky, it was almost ridiculous. I will try other fortune
cookie soaps, probably not this scent, though.Waking up the next morning, my skin was still extraordinarily soft. One of those "WOW, THIS is what soft, hydrated skin feels like?!" feelings.
Me so Thorny Steam Me Up Scotty!: I hate, HATE patchouli. It
makes me nauseates me. The sandalwood and vanilla cover it nicely so it’s not
too bad. I had to take it up out of the shower, though. I know my fiancé won’t
care for the scent.
The Bloom Bloom Room Bath Fizzy: I need the cuticle butter
out of this scent. It is very, VERY floral such a feminine smell. It made the
water incredibly soft and luxurious. It smelled amazing, but the smell did not transfer
to the bathwater. I was a bit disappointed.
Venus Fly Trap Perfume Oil: I LOVE Bergamot anything. It’s
one of those smells that makes me instantly happy. I was OVER THE MOON EXCITED
to get this. It smells like gardenias. I love gardenias. I put it on at 5am when I left the house, and could still smell it when I went to bed that night. It smells wonderful!
All in all I am stupidly happy about this box and can’t wait
until the next one!!!
