 Fortune Cookie Soap “The Force” May 2018 Review

This box comes with a mini handbook detailing the products, how to use it, the unique scent, and ingredients. New to the handbook is pricing details for each item! One thing of note— I have purchased from the FCS website several times, and all of the listed prices match up with what I have seen available for sale once the collection becomes available.

Sky Walker Spray Lotion, 4.5 oz

Sky Walker Spray Lotion, 4.5 oz - Listed Value $9.99

I thought this was really nifty! The spray lotion is a very fine and clear mist- it almost reminds me of sunscreen, only this is way more moisturizing with a better scent. This is packed with aloe and coconut oil to be hydrating without being greasy, and I loved the slightly sweet fruity scent from the lemon, mango, and tea leaves! This is perfect for the summer where I don't want dry skin, but it is so humid outside I don't want to slather on thick lotion.

Rebel Princess Restorative Hair Mask, 4.5 oz - Listed Value $19.99

This mask is reallyyyy thick— it reminded me of the thick gel people use to form their hair into a mohawk. I actually liked how thick it was, because I felt like I was able to use less and still coat my hair. This is recommended as a 5-7 minute mask, and I left it in for about two hours while I went around my apartment doing chores (I guess I was embracing the rebel part of this theme). When I finally washed it out, my hair felt so soft and silky— I really loved the texture. My hair is due for a trim to snip off dead ends, but I hate haircuts and always put them off. This mask left my hair feeling like I could continue pushing off that haircut (I am still traumatized from a bad cut I got in the winter of 2014 from someone who promised they knew how to cut curly hair).

The Droids You're Looking For OCD Hand Sanitizer, 1.5 oz - Listed Value $2.89

The Droids You're Looking For Travel Hand Lotion, 1 oz - Listed Value $3.99

This combo is perfect for storing in your purse and using on the go! Lime and cilantro is mixed with coconut milk and sandalwood to make a really refreshing scent. I love the convenience of this hand lotion - I have already attached it to the inner strap of my purse, and I found it to be hydrating and non-greasy. I love the OCD hand sanitizer line, and this glittery orange is no exception. For those of you who are unfamiliar, here is their explanation for why their hand sanitizer is named OCD:

Although we love being witty, cheeky, and poking fun in general, we chose to name our hand sanitizer, OCD, to bring awareness to OCD itself. We donate a portion of the sales from that product to the OCD Foundation to further research on it. We chose to use the product OCD since that is the product that the people generally will jokingly say they have OCD when the use hand sanitizer a lot, so we believe it is the most recognizable to people.

The Darkside Red Clay Face Mask, 2.45 oz

The Darkside Red Clay Face Mask, 2.45 oz - Listed Value $14.95

I loved how soothing this mask was— it reminded me a lot of this mask from Origins. It left my skin feeling healthy and calm, while also having the oil production controlled. I appreciated the light scent of almond milk and shea, as it smelled like a natural face mask here to sooth all of my skin worries.

Hidden Rebel Base Fabric & Room Spray, 2.5 oz

Hidden Rebel Base Fabric & Room Spray, 2.5 oz - Listed Value $8.99

It is through the Fortune Cookie Soap Easter Box that I learned cyclamens is one of my favorite scents, and since cyclamens are on this scent list (along with sea salt air and black plums) it is no surprise that I absolutely love it. Two spritzes left my living room smelling refreshed like I had just blown out a lovely smelling candle.

Smuggler Sugar & Spice Body Polish, 8 oz - Listed Value $15.95

This body polish is magic. The scent combination of cardamon and rosewater really creates a spicy and sweet scent that I have no problem rubbing all over my body, and it provided an awesome exfoliation without leaving my skin feeling dry. It is a little unwieldy to use, but I do appreciate the plastic scoop to prevent wet hands from ruining the entire scrub.

The Verdict: I love the creativity you see in Fortune Cookie Soap Box, and this month, in particular, had some really stellar creations. I am not the biggest Star Wars Fan, but this may be my favorite creation yet— the products are incredible and the scents are just divine. Every month I am more than happy with what I receive, but this month feels like FCS looked into a crystal ball to see what exact products I needed in my life.

I am a staunch believer that pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza and when I’m not working as a family law attorney I enjoy hiking the Louisiana trails (alligator sightings are a favorite!) or relaxing with Duchess, my cat. I’m a sucker for anything labeled a mystery box and I’ve never met a bath bomb I didn’t like.

Jessica has curly hair so naturally that is what she is going to write about. It’s not like she’s doing it just to annoy you.

I think a rotation of the reviews which include hair products would be a very good thing. That’s all I meant. I apologize.

Hey I get you! That’s a good idea, too 😊

This isn’t available as a monthly box anymore but all the items will be available for purchase on May 25 (plus other items from the extended collection). Items sometimes sell out quickly though and will be priced at normal retail vs the monthly box savings.

I ADORE this box so much. I love the formulas and scents they were really clever to combine. There’s not a single note scent in the bunch, and I appreciate the time spent to curate unique products to a Star Wars theme.

I WOULD like to read less about curly hair in my reviews, though. Probably more of us have straight hair than curly and it’s really getting old.

That is incredibly rude. This isn’t the only place you can find reviews of this box. If you really need to know how it works with your hair type, you can find that information easily. Why should Jessica miss out on all the boxes she really likes just because you want to see some variety in hair types and find it annoying to have to read about her curly hair?

I doubt Jessica pays for this box. I thin that all the subscriptions reviews need to be passed around and reviewed by others once in a while.

Snowhitetwin

You want to read less about curly hair that’s funny! Hey Jessica, I hear you about being traumatized by a bad haircut (I unfortunately have had more than my fair share.) I still have nightmares!!!

why you hating on curly hair? lol I hope your day/situation improves. 💜

I’m not hating on anything. I think the beauty boxes should have some rotation in the reviews to keep the outlook fresh. Just like the clothing subs should have a variety of reviewers as well… the reviews will speak to a wider variety of subscribers or potential subscribers. 🙂

Kristin

I don’t mind curly hair stories. Actually wavy or curly hair is more common than straight hair around the world.

Ive been getting their monthly sub for several months now and these scents and the products they chose this month were a perfect fit for me! Love this box!
