Fortune Cookie Soap Box: Old Fashioned Family Christmas

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

Fortune Cookie Soap box is a quarterly box for $19.99.  This box is now sold out but you can sign up for the spring one here.  Please note they will charge when you sign up, not at the time of shipment.   The nice thing is this box includes a $10 coupon to use on their site at the launch of the new season. 

"I Pledge Allegiance, Amen" Shower Steamer - this smells overly minty but not in a good way.  It is definitely on my just okay list for this box.  This might actually help your sinuses if you steamed with it. 

"Moose Mug" Cuticle Butter -   I was very happy to get a cuticle butter in my box.  I want to compare it to my Posh one.  Rich cream, egg and nutmeg - as in egg nog!  It is a nice aroma and so far I like this cuticle butter. 

Christmas Bonus - Deep Conditioner -   This is fun!  It's a little guess the fragrance and win a $50 gift certificate.  Unfortunately, my sinuses have clogged up my sense of smell.  

"Jello Surprise" Whipped Cream -   There were four selections that could have been in your box this month.  I was really hoping for the Jelly of the Month club that smells like strawberries and vanilla sugar.  I might actually get that with my $10 off coupon.  This says festive plum with a zesty curl of citrus. 

"Sparky" Hydrate Me -  This is a cute, little, light bulb soap smelling of vanilla pumpkin waffles and pecans.  This is a tiny little soap that hydrates your skin.  

"Fried Pussycat" Whipped Soap -  The title on this one is hysterical - and exactly what does Fried Pussycat smell like?? According to Fortune Cookie, it's juicy plum and whipped caramel wrapped in artisan bourbon vanilla and jasmine blossoms.  WOW!  I really like the smell on this one - it is the Plum that is overpowering.  NICE! 

"Mele Kelekimaka" OCD Hand Sanitizer -  This one is described as tropical spiced rum, jasmine florals and woodsy.   I do not know that this smells very Hawaiian but it isn't an unpleasant odor. 

"Tis the Season to be Mary" Fortune Cookie Soap -  Every box includes one of these and they are my favorite thing in the box!  The aroma is sweet almond and tobacco - yes, tobacco!  Not really a scent I enjoy but it does not take over the almonds. 

Taking into account all things, it was not a bad box - some of the smells were not my favorite but I like the variety of items.   It did put me in the mood for Christmas!  So excited to decorate this year!  

Fortune Cookie Soap Box Fall '14

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

"Soon you will feel nothing at all, except beautiful wickedness"

Fortune Cookie Box is $19.99 and ships quarterly.  It comes with 8 samples of items from their store and a $10 gift card to spend.  Great deal! 

The Theme this month was Witch Please - from Wizard of Oz.  Their cute little return label clued you in on the theme of the box.  

First look!  Could not wait to move that card and see what goodies my box had. 

These boxes come with a very detailed card; it tells you what each item is with a photo and how to use.  I was very impressed with their info card!  On the back is the code to use in their store for the $10 off.  The names of these items are super cute too!

"ROY G BIV OCD HAND SANITIZER -   It took a little while for the alcohol smell to go away on this but after that it smelled woodsy and the outdoors.  

"Green is the New Black" Whipped Cream -  There were four different variations you could have received in your box and this is the one I got.  And am I glad I did!! WOW!! The pumpkin pie smell is amazing!   I think all of them had the pumpkin smell included but I got the really sweet smelling one which is perfect for me!

"Swankified" Walnut Face Scrub -  How cute is that name??  It smells like bananas and walnuts!  YUMMY!  Better not eat it though!  Cannot wait to try this scrub!  

"Hair Flip" Hair oil -   This smells like hazelnut and vanilla - loved it on my hair too - I used it on the ends and liked the way it made my hair look.  Plus the smell is amazing so now my hair smells that way!  It says just two drops is enough so this will last awhile.

"The Shiz" Perfume Oil -   This is probably my least favorite item in the box - it is a woodsy, floral scent that made my allergies go crazy.  I am sure some people would love it and I will be passing it on to a friend.  

"Flying Monkeys" Personal Space Air Freshener -  This was my favorite item in the box, next to the cookie soap, because of the great fruity smell!  Bananas, watermelon and peaches with a touch of jasmine!  Love this little guy!

"Miss Popular" Bubble Bath -  This bath salt was a bit too floraly for me so I will pass it on to one of my sisters who likes florals.  It smells like violets and jasmine.

"There's no Place Like Home" Fortune Cookie Soap - My favorite thing in the box!  It's a cute little fortune cookie soap that smells like apples and cinnamon.  My fortune said "Wasting Time is an important part of living."  I do a lot of that kind of living!  Pinterest is my favorite way to waste time!

I was extremely pleased with the value of this box!  And on top of that, I have another $10 to spend in their store!  

If you want to join this, do not wait - these sell out very quickly!  I actually joined the subscription in time for the summer box but it was sold out already so I had to wait for the Fall box to ship.  It looks like this box is already sold out but do not wait too long to sign up for the winter box that ships November 2nd!  You will be sad if it sells out!  Their Christmas boxes are amazing and I cannot wait to see what is mine!
