Fortune Cookie Soap Subscription Box Review – November 2020

Well put! Definitely agree with everything you said.

You get an emailed credit for $10 off a $25 purchase good for a month. If you join their loyalty program, you get points for the purchase of the box and anything else you purchase from their site. For me, I absolutely love some of their products (aloe-me, shower smoothie and hand sanitizers) and scents – so I look at the subscription box as a sampler to try their new scents and different products. Another bonus is that I am allergic a lot of perfumes and scented things and I have never had a bad reaction to any of their scents.

You get a $10 coupon. I usually buy something most months. With the discount and getting to smell most of the scents before purchase, the monthly box is worth it to me. I gift the products and scents that aren’t for me and am able to know which items I want to purchase (all the deep conditioner!)

Joy-not-the-other-one – this was a response to you ☺ it should have appeared below your comment!

The rollerball is a highlight of the box for me.

I appreciate the “homemade” and small biz feel. I don’t want everything in my life to be made in China, tbh. But I do agree with the rollerball point–I’d rather have their diffusers in each box instead.

I think you received that response because you offered to ship the box back at your cost. That gives the impression that you didn’t want the box at all instead of the defective body frosting. .I believe all business owners what to know what they did wrong to make it better for not only you but for future customers.

An Act of Congress! How hilarious. I was kind of upset at them as well since I purchased a subscription in October, was billed then for November (second charge,) and had to wait until almost Thanksgiving to receive my very first box. Then the items were pretty puny, but I bought this for someone, she was happy, so I was content. For 16.95, there’s not too many subs that cheap.

Indigo thank you so much for saying this! This was my second box and I felt the same exact way about my first one last month. When I first saw the box I thought it was a mistake. Everything was so tiny and doll sized.

I was also super disappointed in the October box’s contents. I kept waiting for it to be reviewed on here to see if the review would help me gain some excitement about the box but I guess since they reviewed the special edition Halloween box for October they are not going to review the regular October box.

I’ve been reading the reviews of this box forever and I absolutely understand that it is a mixture of products but last month had a tiny package of laundry detergent, a facial toner, a lotion stick, and an itty bitty bottle of hair oil. I just wasn’t interested in any of the products. Last months theme was also based on my favorite movie EVER (Moulin Rouge), so I was really hoping for some bath products which I understand is a personal preference. I did love the little sticker that came with it since it had a movie quote on it!

Like you, I decided to give it another month but after this month I just don’t think this subscription is for me either. The body frosting took FOREVER to absorb into my skin. I had to finally put on socks and put a towel on my sofa in order to sit down and not get what seemed like straight coconut oil on my carpet and furniture. The scent of the hand sanitizer was SO STRONG and it was an odd choice in my opinion. I haven’t used any of the other products yet because the scents are just really really strong although I did think the fortune cookie soap was super cute and I loved the sparkles.

I forgot to cancel in time so I’ll be getting the December box but I did cancel after I was charged for it so hopefully since there is a waitlist someone else who’s been wanting to try this box will be able to take my spot.

I did use this months $10 credit towards a purchase in their store of things I actually wanted. I bought 4 different bath bombs, a bubble scoop, and 2 hand sanitizers in scents that both got rave reviews-In The Loop (Fruit Loops) and PJP. I searched the site but couldn’t figure out what PJP stands for (if anyone knows please tell me! LOL 😂) but it seems to be one of the most popular scents as there is an entire permanent line dedicated to it. I can see why, it smells amazing.
