Fortune Cookie Soap of the Month Club

Cost: $28 monthly + $6.95 shipping ($34.95)

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Well anyone that has been here for any amount of time knows I love this company and use their products all the time (#notsponsered lol but for real no I’m way to small time for that shit).  Fortune Cookie Soap Company (FCS) makes bath and body products with all different themes and scents. Usually inspired by movies, or tv shows or other pop culture things. It is seriously really fun they stuff. I could go on and on about it but I’ll save my gushing the products are always great quality and have that homemade, made with love touch with out feeling DIY. Also for a bonus alot of their products are vegan.

The FCS of the Month Club every month will send a mix of full sized and deluxe sized products, saving you 50% off retail.  Every month is a different theme and you can skip a month if you aren’t feeling that month’s theme as long as you skip it before the 10th of the month. You will also earn points for what you spend on the box and purchases each month that you can redeem for reward certificates basically to shop on the cite which is a great plus.


This month’s theme is Unicornia and I have to say FCS got super creative this month so let’s get in to it.

You Had Me at Holo Scoopable Wax  

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $12.99

I am so glad I have a wax burner now I can’t wait to use this (just got to get a glass dish). This is like magically pretty I can’t stop opening it and smelling it and looking at it.  It is pineapple, grape and sandalwood scented. I can’t smell the sandalwood but it is probably helping to cut the sweetness. It smells so yummy. I don’t know a lot about wax prices but 5.5 oz of wax for $12.99 seems reasonable.

I mean just look at the gold and the horn.

Magical Tears Plantfusion Oil

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $14.99

This is a Sage and Citrus aromatherapy oil I am most stoked about this because I have always wanted to try one of these things but they are always so expensive that I never do. I don’t know what the benefits are supposed to be but it smells nice on and I like sniffing it. This has crystals in it that are supposed to react to your personal chemistry Idk that I believe all that but it is cool that there are rocks in my perfume I like pretty rocks lol.

In Your Glitter Dreams Body Scrub

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $11.99

So this is a glitter body scrub. Which has been a real on trend thing in the past few months so they are on trend but Idk how cool I am with being glittery all over. The scrub itself is super pretty. This is a mango raspberry slush scented but to me it just smells alcoholic.

Cosmic Unicorn Jelly Soap

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $8.99

Omg this is so fun and JIGGLY like jiggle jiggle. It smells like strawberries but is super dark almost black. I cant wait to play with this but I can’t imagine how this is actually going to work as soap.

So Cute I Could Puke Highlighter Compact

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $17.99

Well stepping into something different for them we have a highlighter palette. First the name I could die *wink* lol.  These are a little chunky and powdery.  You can build them up nicely from sheer to impactful if you put the effort in and the time. I was able to get some pretty eyeshadow looks and a really nice looking highlight that was really natural and didn’t emphasize texture but it too some work. For this price and for eyeshadow size pans I expect a lot better of quality you could pick up 5 Wet n Wild highlights in similar colors for the same price and get a better formula with more product. I have already put some serious dents in the shades I’ve used and only have used it a handful of times.

I Bleed Holo Bath Bomb

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $6.99

She is such an adorable fruity scented bath bomb. I definitely awwwed when I unwrapped this one. I don’t use these a ton but she’ll happily sit in my collection.


Total: $73.94

Percentage Savings: 53%

This was a really fun box to look through and smell but the more glittery aspect of it is not appealing to me personally. I like knowing that most of what I got I’ll actually be able to use up like the jelly soap and the way should be really easy to use up.

Everyone ready for a little bit of a story time?

I don’t even remember how I found this company but I found it about 4 years ago maybe a little bit more and until just recently they had a quarterly subscription box that I subscribed to it was my first subscription box ever It was wizard of oz themed and it made me so happy.  Getting packaged from them every season or when I placed orders really brought a bright spot into a less then positive time in my life so I really have a soft spot for them.

I never reviewed the boxes I don’t know why but you always saw the products in my empties because I always use them up.When they canceled the quarterly box I was really sad this box is quite a bit more expensive then the quarterly and that I am not particularly fond of but I can’t not have their products constantly in my life so I am ponying up and we will see together if it is worth the cost. (I’ll keep buying it regardless just FYI).

So the theme is Princesses and Villains, all themed after Disney Princesses and Villains is that not so adorable. I am a total Disney Freak. The only problem is that alot of the stuff sells out and you can’t get it and once a collection is gone it could be gone forever.

Sea Witch Bath Bomb

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $4.99

 

Ursula themed bath bomb! The scents are always so awesome this is strawberries, salt, driftwood, and pink sugar. I don’t take alot of baths so I actually haven’t used their bath bombs personally I usually gift them to friends when I make up gift baskets and they have all given them thumbs up.

Part of Your World Sea Salt Hair Spritz

Full Size: 4 oz

Full Size Cost: $9.99

Sample Size: 4 oz

Value: $9.99

Water Lilies, sandalwood and marine notes? not quite sure what that means this pretty much just smells like water lilies to me. But you can’t have Ursula and not Ariel. Their hair products usually work well for me but my hair is so so dehydrated right now I can’t even attempt salt in my hair but I love their tip for using this when you braiding your hair and I completely plan on doing that when I use this. I know I will never use this up completely because I don’t use sea salt sprays on my dry hair but I’m down to try it at least.

Shadow Man Charcoal Whipped Soap

Full Size: 3.2 oz

Full Size Cost: $8.99

Sample Size: 3.2 oz

Value: $8.99

Who doesn’t want a silver grey whipped soap? I love charcoal anything I cheated and only used it on my hands but it felt nice and soft I can’t wait to use it on my blemish prone skin on my chest and shoulders charcoal always helps me out there. This is red velvet scented but I don’t smell it but that’s ok you had me at charcoal.

Briar Rose Pillow Spray

Full Size: 2.1 oz

Full Size Cost: $12.99

Sample Size: 2.1 oz

Value: $12.99

Of course Aurora a.k.a. sleeping beauty has a pillow spray. This is bergamont and orange two of my favorite scents with roses. Now I’m really allergic to roses but I couldn’t smell them at all and haven’t had a bad reaction to it so fingers crossed I’m same. This smells so gooits like a lighter sweeter version of happiness from Bath and Body Works if you have ever smelled that. I love their linen sprays and have used up two or three bottles of them. Having them to spray on my sheets before bed really helps me sleep a little better.

Glass Slipper Exfoliating Foot Stick

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $14.99

 

This is vanilla hazelnut and I was not expecting this to work at all. My feet are rough they are bad my callous are so bad they hurt and get really dry some times. This didn’t get rid of them or scrape them as much as a pumice stone or blade would but it did really soften them I could see this helping if I use it every day but it is going to go really fast which is a big down side to this product.

Sorcery & Seduction Walnut Body Scrub

Full Size: 2.2 oz

Full Size Cost: $8.99

Sample Size: 2.2 oz

Value: $8.99

So is this Jafar themed? Jasmine themed? Just Aladdin in general themed? Not really sure, but it smells like I think the movie would.  Jasmine, nectarines, amber, and walnuts. There was once a walnut face scrub and it was magical I wish it would come back. I am hoping this will have the same kind of effect

Mistress of All Evil Body Frosting

Full Size: 1.2 oz

Full Size Cost: $9.99

Sample Size: 1.2 oz

Value: $9.99

Woah this is costly $10 bucks for an ounce that’s a bit much.  This is supposed to be antioxidant rich and make your skin moisturized soft and smooth so lets see but I’m reserving judgement for now but that is a lot for lotion. This is pomegranate, marshmallow, maple wood, and amber scented. Very Maleficent. It is also the coolest looking thing look at those swirls.


Total: $70.93

We received all full sized products this month which is awesome.  At $70.93 you are paying just under half that half is $35.47, which means you pay only 49% of the cost of these items. That is a good value for an indie company and receiving these products to try but granted not the best subscription box value around. You have to want these types of products, and want to only get from one brand.  I will say you won’t be disappointed if you give them a shot even if you just shop instead of subscribing. I really recommend them time and time again. Plus the themes are just so cute.
