MY BOX

MENU

UNBOXED,

MOOSE MUG CUTICLE BUTTER,
 a gorgous thick creamy cuticle butter, i just love egg nog scents so this is a great one for me.
OK to me this is nice .quite heavy on the nutmeg,and smells like a english custard tart , quite yummy,

MELE KEKIMAKA OCD HAND SANITIZER.
tropical spiced rum,tahitian vanilla, jasmine, and woods,
This is so thick i can't squeeze it out , quite strong in the bottle once on the skin it is strong on the jasmine, then the rum ,then later on a hint of rum.

SPARKY HYDRATE ME,
this is the famous body conditioner from fcs, used at the end of a bath or shower this little solid bar melts over the skin and moisturises to the extreme,
loaded with coconut oil,beeswax,shea butter, cocoa butter,brown sugar,pumpkin waffles,whipped cream and toasted pecans.
this is very melty in the hands,love the scent , pumpkin,brown sugar ,this is deep warming and toasty for the winter months.

TIS THE SEASON TO BE MARY FCS,
the fortune cookie soap is a staple product for the company, this soap includes a fortune inside.
with sweet almond and tobacco,a warm smokey scent ,
this is nutty with a kind of woody herbal thing going on ,i actually like this for a winter scent , would make a nice bath oil,

BEND OVER & I'LL SHOW YOU. WHIPPED CREAM,
a light whipped cream body butter sinks in quickly,and no pulling or dragging over the skin.cranberry,pine and herbal spruce warmed with clove and sweet mandarin orange.
i really like this,and will buy in a shower gel for sure,herbal spruce and pine comes through,then sweet mandarin,cranberry is subtle at the end ,settles on the skin gently,

FRIED PUSSYCAT WHIPPED SOAP.
a new product this is a light creamy soap.vanilla,caramel,plum,jasmine,
I only get vanilla and jasmine through, a little plum at the end,the soap base is good it cleans and leaves no film on the skin after washing.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE AMEN  SHOWER STEAMER,
simply toss the shower steamer on the floor and let the water fall on it and do its job, bring the outside in with this fresh mint,herbs and spruce and firs ,
winter sinus cold un blocker here i come. this is a great herbal treatment, the shower was refreshing, the mint,herbal and spruce firs all come through in this ,will get more products in this scent.

CHRISTMAS BONUS, DEEP CONDITIONER.
guess the mystery scent email  to customer service@fortunecookiesoap.com to try and win $50 gift card.
this i like a lot ,the scent is cooling and refreshing, it cleans the hair and invigorates the scalp at the same time.

these boxes are a great preview to the new collections and really help you choose the scents you want to buy or don't,  it really helps you out.
i have some real loves in this box, and it is totally different to last years winter box, if you fancy grabbing the fcs soap boxes sign up .
this was a good box ,the only thing i don't really enjoy is the melee kelekimaka scent,
overall we got 8 products in the box ,and it means we can sample before we do big orders.

my Candy Aisle uk group order haul from fortune cookie soap,

I'm so happy my fortune cookie soap order has finally arrived, 
I'm part of the UK group order group that Natalie and Becky organise, usually following a new soap box comes out we all do a mass order of the goodies.

so this is my review for the CANDY AISLE summer box.

so i always get the sugar scrub and whipped creams in the scents i love the sugar scrubs are so gentle,
also i like the body wash and mist Me's for layering that scent.
i always get the odd shampoo and bubble bars or bombs in things i really want,
this time i knew i had to get popping candy bath powder, its awesome by the way.

"LOLLIPOP YOUR CHERRY,"
some fragrances just name themselves, i swear, cherries,cherries,with a swirl of vanilla, hint of orange and pineapple,
OMG maraschino cocktail cherries , and there juice love,love. vanilla after kick comes through at the end but this is serious sweet cherries 

"ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF" 
straight up grape candy,it is what it is,this sugar scrub exfoliates ,moisturises,softens.
OMG jolly rancher grape sweets. i love grape .with a hint of grape fizzy or laffytaffy,
so strong and deep fruity and yes i am inhaling the products,  ,I'm loving this collection.

"THE SWEET SPOT" 
fresh picked melon,strawberries and peaches, twisted with sour Mandarin oranges, and pineapple, all sprinkled with sugar.guaranteed to hit your sweet spot.
what i get is pure American sweets i get shipped to the UK. melon,peaches, mandarin with icing sugar ,thank god i don't get the strawberry from it,  i love it.

TOP SHELF MARGARITA LIP BALM,

oohh margarita lip balm ,in a cute tin. i love this balm refreshing and zingy,

samples, can't wait to try these out.

so i liked a few of the summer items from the summer soap box, not usually a box i love as such but these products above i really enjoyed so stocked up on,.

i will have my SUN IN THE FUN collection review coming up soon.

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.
