The Fortune Cookie Soap Box is a monthly subscription that offers bath and body products centered on a new theme each month. Each month FCS will create new products to fit that theme, and then will offer up the extended collection for sale later in the month.
This month’s theme is “I’m Gonna Wreck It,” inspired by the movie (and upcoming sequel) Wreck it Ralph!
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Fortune Cookie Soap “I’m Gonna Wreck It” Review
This box comes with a mini handbook detailing the products, their prices, how to use it, the unique scent, and ingredients. One thing of note: I have purchased from the Fortune Cookie Soap website several times, and all of the listed prices match up with what I have seen available for sale once the collection becomes available.
The Glitch Cuticle Butter, 0.5 oz – Listed Value $9.99
I am pretty rough on my nails and hands, so I am always happy to add a new cuticle butter to the mix. I found this to be very hydrating, but because of that, it needed about 30 seconds or so to absorb. Once it had sunk in I was left with soft and moisturized fingers, and a little bit of this goes a long way so I am stocked up for a while to come. This had a sweet scent of pink sugar with plumeria and candy orange slices, and it really made my fingers smell like I just finished eating candy.
Stay Sweet Milk Shake Bath Milk, 4 oz – Listed Value $8.99
This bath milk really smelled like a sweet milkshake thanks to notes of strawberries and tart citrus lollipops, and it is made with cocoa and shea butters to hydrate your skin while you soak. I have had some seriously dry legs lately, and this bath milk really helped to hydrate my skin while I was recovering from abdominal surgery (aka, unable to bend over and lotion my own calves).
Bad-Anon Hydrate Me, 3oz - Listed Value $10.99
This is my first experience with the hydrate me stick from Fortune Cookie Soap, but I believe they come out during the cooler months. I was a little confused with the application—it states to rub the conditioning bar all over under running warm water and then massage in, but not to rinse. How do I apply this under running water without it being rinsed away? While I figure out how best to use this hydrating stick of coconut oil and shea butter, I am able to at least enjoy the pleasant scent of wild berries and cream with a touch of cedarwood.
I’m Bad And That’s Good Perfume Oil, 1 oz – Listed Value $16
This perfume oil has notes of pomegranate and whipped caramel marshmallow, and I was pleasantly surprised that the scent isn’t as sweet as the description sounds. Overall, the scent is well-balanced with the caramel being the main scent without being overly sweet.
Regenerate Body Wash, 2.1 oz – Listed Value $4.99
This is your basic body wash - nothing too fancy but it gets the job done. I do like the light electric blue color of the body wash, and it left my skin lightly scented with notes of buttermint and caramel.
Sugar Rush Solid Sugar Scrub, 2 oz – Listed Value $12.99
This container has balls of solid sugar scrubs that look like oversized gumdrops! They are scented with raspberry, lemonade, and bubblegum, and it is a sweet and fun way to exfoliate without drying out your skin.
Lala Laffy Taffy Laundry Detergent – Listed Value $9.99
This is a brand new Fortune Cookie Soap product, and I am always excited to see new-to-me products in the monthly box, let alone new-to-the-world! This is made with sodium borate, sodium coco-sulfate, sodium carbonate, and fragrance, and the info sheet says this is eco-friendly. I would use this for a light load, but not for my heavy duty clothes washing load. I like the light scent of orange cream salt water taffy, but the scent isn't too noticeable once your clothes are done washing.
The Verdict: Fortune Cookie Soap Box is one of my favorite boxes to receive every month. I love the attention to detail in every aspect of the box, from the product descriptions and the designs of the products to the scents of the products themselves. I had seen Wreck it Ralph only once before, and I think I was able to follow along with the scent names pretty well, which is always nice in themed boxes. This month did have some overwhelming sweet scents—while they smelled nice, I am ready for more fall and winter scents!
