SPRING SOAP BOX, WONDERLAND fortune cookie soap. 2015.

Hello and its the spring soap box time,
i subscribe to the American based company 
                                 fortune cookie soap.
they do a quarterly subscription box.sign up for the summer box here-buy here,

fortune cookie soap is a company that make the absolute best products for the bath,shower,body,skin,home,kids.
the products also make great gifts, the reason i like  these products is because each scent has a total collection of products for layering up.
body sugar scrub,soap,whipped cram,body mist,massage bar,wax tart, hydrate melt,bath bomb,bath melts,bubble bar,perfume oil,shower gel to name a few,
each time they bring a soap box out you get 7-9 product samples to try out, then they release the collection in all products.
the same goes for special collections released throughout the year.

so this time round we have been treated to the WONDERLAND, a bit of Alice on her adventure beckons.

the card says welcome to  wonderland,beware the bandersnatch.

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS, BATH BOMBS,
i just love my morning coffee and executions don't you,
groves of Meyer  lemons and succulent oranges,mingle with a perfectly garden of wild roses,violets,star jasmine perfumed  with bergamot,and Egyptian musk.
i find this very floral violet and rose with jasmine ,once it was in the water it was rose ,and musk with a hint of violet, i likke this ,hope this has a bath oil this time,

FUTTERWACKEN BODY WASH,

scrumptious yellow cake with rich creamy vanilla frosting,topped with white pineapple slices and garnished with a sprig of cilantro,
so so happy i don't get the cake or vanilla frosting through this, 
i get coriander and the sharp  pineapple,(reminds me of old fashioned pineapple cube sweets in the UK).

WE RE ALL MAD HERE OCD,
which truly explains a lot,
playful mint waters and natural leafy green notes,perform a masterful balancing act with musky rich ceder wood.
i really like this ,i get cedar wood, then it dies down to leave a delicate mint and fresh green garden scent.

january BB bag from beauteque,

welcome to my new 2015 new subscription box /bag for the year. 
beauteque won my annul subscription choice this year because this is a new monthly venture for them.
Beauteque started off last year and we saw an increase in well curated bags each month as the year went by, in December beauteque announced they were to introduce a monthly subscription bag , so i promptly signed up,

on the 1st of each month we get emailed a survey sheet to pick our choices of certain items , it may be based on colour,scent,flavour,etc, the bags then get shipped between the 5th and the 15th of the month.

my bag,

UN bagged,

MIZON OLIVE COCOA BUTTER FOOT CREAM,
this is a thick rich cream that spreads over the skin and softens the feet so well, it removes dry skin and callouses and give a rich moisturised foot,with cocoa butter ,olive oiled aloe Vera helps soothe dry cracked sore skin,

MIZON HYALURONIC ULTRA SUBOON CREAM,

a great highly moisturising cream thanks to the hyaluronic acid  as the main ingredient, smiths the skin and aids elasticity back into the skin, 

TONY MOLY DELIGHT TONY TINT, IN NO 01.cherry red 

this is the full size and its a different shade to the one i already have , you can add and build up layers how you like, the stain lasts very well,you can add gentle colour or full on deep pigment or go for the Korean lips look ,i really like this cherry red ,better than the red i have, this seems to suit me better.

THE FACE SHOP MIST ,IN PEACH FLORAL,

i chose the peach over the Lily due to me liking the peach, 
on spraying onto my hair it smell strongly of peach then later on the floral comes through,the mist helps keep the hair in check and softens and shines ,i really like these mist sprays for the hair ,

SUNSET DUO BLUSH AND BRONZER .IN 05 SUNSET BREEZE,
not for me ,but for a friend and i was able to choose her correct skintone  so she will love this back up ,its quite dark, i wouldn't say much pigment , but she likes the brand so she will be happy,

CHEETAH SLEEPING MASK,
I CHOSE THE BLUE , 
whats there to know you put it on over your eyes and fall asleep,

ITS SKIN NECK MASK,the first signs of ageing appear on the hands and neck. 
so start keeping it in check and slow down the process with a weekly neck patch, 
this mask is easy to use ,simply remove from the packet and remove the plastic sheet off the white mask, then it simply sticks to the neck, after 20 minutes remove the mask and massage the essence into the skin, 
in the morning my skin felt soft but taught, and the mask felt quite well stuck on my neck while wearing in that i could easily walk around,
a good mask and will buy again.

DAYLIGHT AND HUE ESSENCE SHEET MASK IN AVOCADO,
 a cotton sheet mask with added vitamin.E.from the avocado,the mask has loads of essence to the point you can wipe the excess all over your body, the mask is rather too big for the face ,i find this with he cheaper masks, this is a Korean product and brand,the smell was OK ,herbal,floral ,not too over powering , my skin did feel soft and refreshed afterwards ,a little sticky  as well, my skin felt brighter the next day.

AND AS I SIGNED UP BEFORE A CERTAIN DATE , i receive a free product each month in my bag ,
this month i received the Re'Vive  cleanser body scrub, 30ml.
this is really nice and gentle , it also smells really fresh, who can't say no to another body scrub, I'm already using it.

so now i have it in my hands and been able to play with it all I'm pleased with my first subscription bag,and look forward to the February bag now, all these products are being used and i feel it can only get better ,
i quite like the curation on the first bag.
