Fortune Cookie Soap “Just Keep Swimming” May 2020 Review

Here is the info sheet for this month’s box.

Aqua Scum Whipped Cream, 1 oz – Estimated Value $2.75 (Buy the 4 oz version for $10.99)

I love the whipped cream lotion formula from this company, so this sample is already gone. Along with leaving my skin soft, smooth, and non-greasy, this had a really lovely scent of lychee, apple, and peach nectar.

Jellyman Scent Diffuser – Retail Value $12.99

I love these scent diffusers- they come sealed with a plastic cap that can be hard to pry off, but once you do that this makes a great scent diffuser for areas like sock drawers, closets, or cars. The scent profile for this includes notes of black cherry,  watermelon, guava, strawberry, and lime. I love watermelon in literally any format, so this smelled like a summer smoothie and I am happy to have it adding smells to my life.

Whale Talk Deep Conditioner, 0.5 oz – Buy the full-size version for $12.99

I forgot how much I love the FCS conditioner formula until I used this. It has a very thick texture and feels heavy when you’re applying it, but it rinses away to leave soft and smooth hair that was noticeable after one use- and I use deep conditioners almost every time I wash my hair. This has scent notes of  strawberries, black currant, jasmine, grapefruit, and fresh avocado, and I honestly am tempted to purchase more of this deep conditioner while I write this review.

Shark Bait Toilet Bombs, 2 ct – Buy a full-size jar for $11.99

These are a bit of a miss for me simply because Duchess would throw a fit if I left the only toilet in the apartment closed for the night for this to do its thing (the queen must have multiple water sources- who am I to tell the cat what to do?). I left it for a few hours and appreciated that the scent of oranges, vanilla ice cream, and sandalwood-infused strawberries was actually pretty subtle. This + a toilet brush made me feel like a domestic queen, which is the furthest from the truth but sometimes it’s okay to lie to ourselves (trust me, I’m a lawyer).

Intervention Fortune Cookie Soap – Retail Value $3.99

This soap is small but mighty. It smells delicious with notes of coconut and pineapple, and even though I didn’t use it every time I showered it didn’t disintegrate into mush from the shower steam. It doesn’t dry my skin out, and I enjoy the overall novelty of this.

Fin.Noggin.Duuude. Shampoo Bar – Buy a 3.5 oz bar for $9.99

My hair dries out from shampoo easily due to my curls, so I didn’t love this- but don’t let my incredibly picky hair keep you from trying this if you’re curious and don’t have temperamental curls with a dry scalp. This had a scent of lemon-lime soda, orchids, and white chocolate, and while separate they may sound strange but together the scent was pleasantly unique.

The Verdict: Alright, who’s ready to watch Finding Nemo with me? In all seriousness, I loved this month’s box. It gave me two of my favorite FCS products in the whipped cream and deep conditioner, and as a whole, this box gave me great nostalgic vibes. I always appreciate the fact that this is a low-cost monthly subscription that brings me joy while still also providing useful products, and my bath-and-body-loving heart has a definite soft spot for this subscription.
