my fortune cookie soap haul via uk group order.

so the spring soap boxes got sent out, they arrived and we sniffed and sampled away.the thing is these boxes also mean a UK group order is looming.
we wait till Shannon and the guys at fortune cookie have got over the release of the products and have got themselves together and restocked and we all send out lists either to Becky or Natalie depending whose turn it is to collate and organise.usually between 15-20 peoples orders not an easy job so we love them for it.being part of the group order is great as it means the shipping is cut as we all have it split fairly between us all, then split the customs , then we only pay for the girls to ship to our homes how we want.
YOU CAN FIND THE SPRING RANGE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL HERE.

fortune cookie soapbox spring, 2014.



The spring soap box has arrived and i have been so impatient waiting for this box since the last release.whoops.
so the theme is
                                  THE GOOD AND THE BAD
you can sign up for the summer soap box now ,you will be charged at the same time just so you know, you can fins out all about the great products here http://www.fortunecookiesoap.com/pages/the-soap-box.
there are 4 boxes a year and each one is designed around a fantastic theme,
so here is my box peak,
my box didn't have the usual card and voucher in it .oh nooo.



                                      THE GOODS.
rainbows!butterflies!fig leaf bikinis!we're not gonna lie.
the goods gave us a run for our money.
the garden of GOOD JUSTICE,there are 3 fragrances.

NATIVE NECTAR- body wash- fresh cracked coconut.
(i love this so freshly opened coconut.)


AFTERNOON DELIGHT-ocd-pink watermelon,fresh apricot,white floral.
(as what it says watermelon,apricot,fresh and fruity.)


MARSHMALLOW DREAMS-cuticle butter-lavender sprigs,sage,basil,vodka,and a dollop of marshmallow fluff.
(i get marshmallow,sweet with a gentle lavender coming through)


                                              THE EVILS.
Yeah baby!its the strangest thing,but once we started on the evils,they just came naturally.
we don't know what evil smells like but we hope it's like this.

MAKE IT RAIN-whipped cream-grab your umbrella !sparkling droplets of citrus,jasmine,musk,cedar wood,
(i get that fresh laundry scent jasmine and cedar wood,)


FORBIDDEN FRUIT-fcs-soap-dusty verbena,fresh blueberry,lemons.
(blueberries and floral comes through for me)


ME SO THORNY-steam me up scotty-me love you longtime,citrus,lavender,french vanilla,with dark shadows of patchouli,sandalwood.
(i get woody patchouli and sandalwood)


THE BLOOM BLOOM ROOM-bath fizzy-a strip club for flowers,sweet jasmine,lilac,lily of the valley,darkened with fresh peach,citrus,spun round sugar.
(gentle floral from lily of the valley but then peach comes through)


VENUS FLY TRAP- perfume oil-bergamot,narcaisse,musk lurking under water orchid,sparkling lemon and pink jasmine.
(flower power, with a hint of musk this settles on the skin after a while and smells great)


so this has been a totally different soap box for me ,very floral but not over powering.i quite like this collection and love some things more than others.
roll on the summer box as i think that could be sweeter by the looks of the spoiler,i just hope not too sickly sweet.
