Fortune Cookie Soap 12 Days of Christmas Box

I was so excited to be able to buy this Fortune Cookie Soap 12 Days of Christmas Box!! It is now sold out, but the price was $50 (US).  There are 12 items (7 full-sized!) in previous, best-selling Nightmare Before Christmas themed scents.  Nightmare Before Christmas was the soap box subscription theme for Winter 2013.  Every item is individually wrapped, dating from the 14th of December to Christmas!  I will unwrap each item every day and add it here to this post.  Though this box has been sold out, I highly recommend their quarterly subscription box!




December 14th






On the first day, I received OCD Hand Sanitizer in the fragrance Easter Town.  It has scents of pink sugar and a little bit of black licorice.  Thankfully, it doesn't smell much like black licorice because I can't stand that candy.


December 15th






On the 2nd day, I received a Fortune Cookie Soap in Oogie Boogie (full size).  Normally I love all the soaps that I have gotten in previous FCS boxes, but this one is probably my least favorite.  The scent is decent, it includes a mix of berries and cinnamon, but it's not the most aesthetically pleasing.  It's a weird shade of greenish brown and contains a fake spider.  All Fortune Cookie Soaps come with a fortune inside which is fun!


December 16th






On the 3rd day, I received Whipped Cream in Halloween Town.  I love this scent!  Smells just like cookies!  Whipped Cream is basically FCS' version of body lotion.  It's very thick and moisturizing.


December 17th






On the 4th day, I received a Bath Bomb in Jack.  This item contains notes of lemon, menthol, woodland moss, and cranberries.  This is rather big, so I'll probably break it up when I use it.


December 18th






On the 5th day, I received Bubble Bath in Sally.  It has scents of cotton, breezes, leaves, and twine.  The fragrance, to me, smells fresh and clean.  It's pretty subtle, not overpowering.  Perfect for a relaxing bath.


December 19th






On the 6th day, I received Salve in Sandy Claws.  This is probably my least favorite item in the box so far.  It's not as useful or practical to me.  The scent is very nice, though, with a mix of chocolate and chai.  Yummy.


December 20th






On the 7th day, I received Personal Space in Lock, Shock & Barrel.  Personal Space is an air freshener.  This has scents of pine, spruce and spice.  It's the perfect holiday fragrance!  I will be spraying this all over the house.

Fortune Cookie Soap - Fall 2014 Soap Box ( Witch, Please!)

Image Credit: fortunecookiesoap.com



Fortune Cookie Soap Box is a seasonal subscription box.  Subscribers receive 8 mini-sizes of beauty and bath products, consisting of new products that haven't been released yet!  The boxes cost $19.99/every 3 months.  The Fall box is already sold out, but you can sign up for the Winter box here, shipping November 3rd!

Fall's box is called "Witch, Please!"  It's a collection of products influenced by "The Wizard of Oz," and the Broadway musical, "Wicked."



Witch, Please!



I wish this box came monthly.  Four times a year isn't enough!  Another great thing about this box is that you get a $10 off code to use on their website!






"There's No Place Like Home" Fortune Cookie Soap - This is obviously modeled after Dorothy's ruby red slippers, and it smells so good  too!  It may be hard to tell, but there is a lot of glitter in that soap!  It's so pretty, I almost don't want to use it.  This soap has fragrances of apple, cinnamon, allspice, and clove; pretty much the epitome of a fall scent!  All Fortune Cookie Soaps come with a fortune inside as well!

"Miss Popular" Bubble Bath Powder - The name of this bath powder is probably named after the song "Popular" in "Wicked."  This contains scents of honey, star anise, star jasmine, sweet orange, and blushing violet.  I need to start taking more baths so I can use this!






"Roy G. Biv" OCD Hand Sanitizer - This is probably the only item in the box where I'm not fond of the scent.  I don't use a lot of hand sanitizer anyway, so it's not a big deal.  It's actually bad for you to use this type of product all the time.  I'm thinking this item has too many conflicting scents that don't mesh well together:  bonfires, leaves, lemon, mandarin, cotton blossom, and soft vanilla.  It basically smells like regular hand sanitizer to me.

"The Shiz" Perfume Oil - It's hard to see in the picture, but the inappropriately-named perfume oil is that tiny bottle in the middle.  This stuff smells so good; it contains fragrances of balsam, maple leaves, dawn blossom, laurel, and sweet clove.

"Flying Monkeys" Personal Space Air Freshener - I'm so happy to get one of these.  I love these sprays.  This has scents of peach, watermelon, neroli, jasmine, and bananas of course!  It's very fruity and I like it.






"Swankified" Walnut Facial Scrub - FCS has been trying to expand their skincare line so they included a new face scrub!  I loved the one they scent before so I'm happy to receive another one.  The scrub contains fragrances of bananas, cake batter, and walnuts.  This smells good enough to eat!

"Hair Flip" Hair Oil - This is a new product for them and I'm excited to be able to try it out.  It's a custom blend of oils that's supposed to repair dry and damaged hair.  Only 1- 2 drops are needed.  I can't wait to have hair smelling of hazelnut and buttery vanilla cream!

Subscribers had a chance of getting 1 of 4 whipped cream scents.  I received...

"BFFs" - Whipped Cream - I want to eat this, it smells so good.  It contains blueberry and pumpkin scents.   I smell the blueberries more.

I love the Fall box and I will probably wait to use these products when it's actually Fall.  This is always such a fun box to get so don't forget to sign up for the Winter Box!

Fortune Cookie Soap Box - Fall 2013


I am so happy I signed up for this box!  Everything smells sooooo good!!  The Fortune Cookie Soap Box is a quarterly box that costs $19.99.

The Fall box is not available, but you can sign up for the Winter box which is a "Nightmare Before Christmas" themed box that starts shipping November 15th.  I'm not a fan, but this still sounds like fun!  Sign up before they sell out!!!


Fall 2013 Soap Box

This is what came in the box...

"Pick of the Patch" Personal Space

1.  "Pick of the Patch" Personal Space - This is an Air Freshener that smells like pumpkins.  It really does freshen up a room quite well.

"<Insert Cookie Cutter Name Here>" Bath Oil

2.  "<Insert Cookie Cutter Name Here>" Bath Oil - Oil for your bath.  Smells like cookies and vanilla. Yummy.

"You're Insecure, Donut What For..." #fall Milk Bath

3.  "You're Insecure, Donut What For..." #fall Milk Bath - Smells like cinnamon sugar donuts.  I have got to start taking more baths...

"'I Yam What I Yam, ' said the Marshmallow" Whipped Cream

4.  "'I Yam What I Yam', said the Marshmallow" Whipped Cream - This is body butter infused with scents of yams, pumpkin pie, and marshmallows.

"Leeeaaf Piiiile" Bath Fizzy

5.  "Leeeaaf Piiiile" Bath Fizzy - Mini bath bomb with notes of acorns and apples.

"Cranberry + Apple = FTW" Wax Tart

6.  "Cranberry + Apple = FTW" Wax Tart - Similar to a candle with no wick, you place it on some sort of warming device I think.  I don't have anything like that, so I have to figure out how I can use this.

"Autumn Daze" Fortune Cookie Soap

7.  "Autumn Daze" Fortune Cookie Soap - This is so cute.  I don't want to use it, LOL.  This is infused with apple, cardamom, and pecan.  There are little leaves inside the soap and it comes with a fortune.  Mine says, " Hard work never killed anyone, but why risk it?"

"Indian Summer" OCD Hand Sanitizer

8.  "Indian Summer" OCD Hand Sanitizer -  There are scents of blueberries, woods, and musk.  I'm not a big hand sanitizer user, but this smells so good I definitely will be using this.  I know that using a lot of it is actually really bad for you, as some people are addicted to it.  This is going straight into my purse.

I am very pleased with this box.  It also comes with a $10 off coupon on a future order that I will probably use sometime soon.
