Fortune Cookie Soap Box Fall 2015

I've been eyeing this soap box subscription for the past year and was so thrilled to finally have it coming my way that I got slightly disappointed when it got stuck at customs for a whole month!  Damn!  Customs sure knows how to thread on my patience lol  but that's no fault of Fortune Cookie Soap, I bet customs just got curious by the title on the box.  Nonetheless, I'm happy to have it in my possession, albeit one month later than expected :)

So what is this subscription I speak of?  Fortune Cookie Soap Box is  a quarterly subscription (every season) that includes 8 Fortune Cookie Soap sample products that are about to be released as well as a 10$ coupon code to redeem in the store.  It costs 19.99$ for US clients and 28$ for Canadians.  Based on what I am sampling right now, I absolutely love it!!!  Here's a link to subscribe if you're interested.  This does not give me any rewards, it is entirely up to you.

Without further ado, here's what I got in the box:  The theme this season is Old Hollywood and ooh boy, we're in for some awesome treats!  I'll follow the order on the card.

First we have the signature product, the fortune cookie soap:

Dressed to Kill - Fortune Cookie Soap valued at 3.29$ comes with a fortune inside: "Please sir, I want some more!"  and it smells like Dribbles of mulled, red wine, swirled with dark, rich vanilla and cut apples, and a dusting of spice.   If I did not already have a FCS on the go right now, I would have used it toute suite.  It smells divine!

Next with have their OCD Hand Sanitizer:

Glitz and Glamour - OCD Hand Sanitizer valued at 2.89$ smells like wet moss, polished woods, creamy vanilla.  When you smell it upfront, it smells just like any other hand sanitizer but as it dries on your hands, it leaves a great perfumey smell.  I love it and can tell I'll be using a lot of it, especially with the cold running around at work.

Next we have FCS Whipped Cream:

Tommy Guns & Baseball Bats - Whipped Cream valued at 10.99$ for 4oz. (we got 1 oz - 2.75$) smells like Grandma's hot apple pie, dusted with freshly shaved cinnamon, nutmeg and warm brown sugar, topped with rick, creamy, marshmallow fluff.  **DROOL** this smells amazing! and the consistency of this lotion is great and does not leave any greasy residue.  I'll definitely be buying myself a full-sized  whipped cream with my next 10$ coupon.

Next we have FCS Bath Powder:

Scandal - Bath Powder is valued at 10.99$ for full-size.  I have no idea what this simple size is in comparison to the full-sized but I know the packet was good for one bath, which I already took right before I did this review.  It smells like creaking woods, wind blown leaves, and twisted rose thorns.  Fall is, by far, my favorite season and this represents it well.  I loved how relaxing this smell was and also how soft my skin is post bath. 

 Next, we have FCS Perfume Oil:

Pearls & Girls - Perfume Oil is valued at 5.99$ for full-size.  I assume the sample is half that size but I am not 100% certain.  One thing is certain, this smells amazing with notes of crushed and distilled vanilla creeping with wild jasmine and a splash of juicy pear.  This is my kind of perfume.  You only need to put vanilla as one of the notes and you've won me.  But seriously, the container is pretty darn cute too and that alone was a great win for me!  I can put this sample in my purse without worries of it spilling.

Next there's FCS Shampoo Bar:

Hollywood Dreams - Shampoo Bar is valued at 8.99$ for full-sized and I am, again, guessing my sample is a quarter of the full size?  This product could be smelled right through the box before I even opened it.  I was so excited to find out what the awesome smell was I literally sniffed all the products until I landed on this one.  It smells divine with notes of brown sugar dusted graham crackers, fresh churned apple butter, sprinkled with nuts and a hint of maple.  This smell is a dream!  I'm seriously debating getting whatever I can in this sent on the Fortune Cookie Soaps website just because it's that good!  I've never used a shampoo bar before and was thrilled to find out how easy it is to use.  I may buy another of these again soon.

Next is FCS Pomade:

 American Royalty -  Pomade is valued at 9.99$ for full size and I assume, once more, this is about quarter of full size?  This smells like rose milk, thick honey and warming tobacco blossom wrapped with caramel and notes of mandarin.  I am looking forward to trying it tomorrow morning and of course, just like everything else so far, this smells fantastic!

And last product is a wax tart:

Famous - Wax Tart is valued at 2.00$ and smells like warm amber, wild orchid, fluttering white cotton, sundried herbs.  I assume this wax tart is possibly half the size of the one on the website but it does smell really good.  Looking forward to melting it once I get my hands on a tealight candle.

Let's not forget I also got a 10$ coupon code that was sent via email and I redeemed it on a sample pack of Fortune Cookie Soaps where you get 11 pieces of soaps of various smells to try out.  I'd take a picture but one has been used and two are currently in use so there's already some missing.  I'm pretty satisfied with this buy though.
I also bought this Exfoliating Soap Saver which is worth it when you absolutely want to make your soap last for as long as you can permit it.

There you have it, Fall 2015 Fortune Cookie Soap Box is the best thing since sliced bread!  Highly recommend this subscription, it is one of my faves!

As always, I welcome any comments or questions!  Have a great long weekend!
