Potion Dust Valentines Soap Box

So I have got into indie soaps. I love them. They have done incredible things for my skin, and the moisture of my skin. I have become addicted to soap boxes. They provide a sampler of all the new scents and multiple products. Which is awesome because I'm picky about products/scents. :)Being able to try random things makes me happy. :D

This one is from Potion Dust. (click the  name to go to her etsy shop.) It's her first box, and she kinda hit it out of the park with this one.

So here is the loot.

Awesome, huh? Lets get a closer look.

Oh yeah...Lets go through things line by lovely line.

Call Me Baby Shampoo bar. I found a love for shampoo bars. They are tricky to get the hang of at first, but so wonderful. My hair feels clean and moisturized and after using them I rarely need to use conditioner. It's kind of awesome. This smells soft yet so clean.  I have not had a chance to try this yet. I have high expectations, though. Dry it feels silky, and oily (which is a good thing) **EDIT**Ok, so the shampoo bar was JUST as I imagined, it is amazing. It lathers well. I do believe I will be ordering a full size bar. :)

Under a Spell Magic Mist. Basically it's just a body mist in Lovespell (From victorias secret) This scent has always overwhelmed me. It's kinda strong. It's not caustic or anything, but it's just not for me.

I Lime You Lip Balm. Ok, just what you would think. It is Lime flavored lip balm. I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!! I am not a huge fan of the lime, but it is awesome enough that I will continue to use this (I've always joked that I am such a "fat girl" that even my lip balm is cake flavored, (chapstick cake batter)) I think I will use this before my cake batter.

Lipstick Hand Sanitizer. It's nice. I used to have an addiction to hand sanitizer. I had to scale it back. This stuff is nice. It smells like cereal. (I LOVE cereal.)

First Date Lotion. Ok, this stuff is amazing. It's silky, it's soft. It smells like sugary powder. Somewhat like cotton candy.

Lips Taste Like Soap. Just typing that made me laugh. This smells like Cherry Jolly Ranchers. Again because everything is natural, this feels so nice.

My Chocolate Whipped Soap. It smells like salted chocolate. Feels even better.

Gimme Candy Bath Cream Scoop. This smells like tart sugar candy Sweettarts, Spree, Smarties. **EDIT**so I got to use this tonight. I only used half of it, and yeah, it's super moisturizing and felt lovely.

Oh, also, in the box was this tiny little packet that said squeeze here. So I squeezed it, the bag inflated then a minute or so later that adorable little balloon popped out. It scared both me and my cat. But it was all kinds of awesome. :D

She also put a code in for $10 off $20. :D That means I'll order more!!!

So looking forward to other boxes from here and others!!! :D

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Spring Soapbox

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!!!
