Fortune Cookie Soap Unboxing Spring 2016

I got my very last Fortune Cookie Soap box in the mail today.  I am really sad to part ways with it because I am absolutely in love with it.  You're probably wondering why I am unsubscribing if I love it so much...well, my work has developed an anti-scent policy and it's been official as of this month.  So, although I absolutely love everything Fortune Cookie Soaps has given to me so far, I will no longer have many opportunities to wear their scented products, which ends up to be, sadly, a pointless purchase.  Boo!  But I'm happy to get my last box nonetheless!


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.   Here's a link to subscribe if you're interested.  This does give me referral points which can then give me money off my next order.  Please keep in mind I will not show prices for the items shown; as specified, these are samples (you do get a fair amount though).  If I can link, I will send you to items on their website.

Theme for this month is based on The Lorax movie (which I absolutely loved!)  I think the theme is well picked for a spring box!
 And just look at those colors.  If that doesn't scream spring, I don't know what does!  Who here has not seen The Lorax yet? 

First thing is FCS signature Fortune Cookie Soap in the scent Guardian of the Forest which smells like crushed bouquets of flowers and meyer lemons.  My fortune reads: "You have been warned."  seems like a bad omen lol I definitely smell the floral scent but not so much the lemon.  I like it though.

Next is their signature OCD Hand Sanitizer in the scent This Thing? which smells like oranges, vanilla and lemon as well as a bit of a floral undertone.  I really like this... it smells fresh and leaves the hands feeling soft, unlike most hand sanitizers.

And their signature FCS Whipped Cream came in the scent Disco Tree which smells absolutely delicious in fresh picked berries, lily of the valley and sandalwood scent.

This is a new product, at least to me.  It is a Pedi-bomb in the scent Unless... it is recommended to add this bomb in a foot bath to moisturize the feet  Smells like spring water, algae, hyacinths, water lilies, dirt and oakmoss, earthy woods and resins.  Wow, that was a mouthful.  It smells like a spa in my opinion.  I like it,

And I got a shampoo bar in the scent Oh Hair which smells like peach nectar, grapefruit and thyme.  I've tried their shampoo bars before and very much enjoyed them so I'm happy to get a new one in this box.  And let me tell you, this is very scented.  I love it though...kind of makes me think of the peach cocktail at Tim Hortons.

This is another new product, at least to me...it's a cuticle oil in the scent One C which smells like warm woods, patchouli and vanilla.  It is said to soften and repair dry, cracked cuticles.  I seriously need this right now so I am super happy to have it in possession.  I'm so applying some before bed tonight.  Smells a bit strong for my liking but it's all good.  If the product can heal my cracked cuticles, I'll be really happy.

Another signature FCS product is their perfume oil.  This one is in the scent Paradise Found which smells like freesia, rose petals, mangoes, strawberries, tonka bean and amber.  I'm a huge rose fan so this is a win. I won't be able to wear it often but I will enjoy it when I can.  And yes, those are flower petals inside the bottle.

 And last product is a Shower Steamer (a bath bomb but for your shower) in the scent In-Organic which smells like lemons and parsley.  I have to say, with the 10$ coupon code I got with this box, I got more shower steamers (one for colds and the other rose scented) because I like the novelty of it.

An added bonus was these confetti that grow into flowers.  I've received some of these at my cousin's wedding and really like the thought behind them.  I'm sure these can join them.

That concludes my last Fortune Cookie Soap Box; what did you think of it?
