First in the box is the namesake product from the company, the fortune cookie soap, in the scent Shark Bait - sweet oranges, creamy vanilla ice cream, and juicy sandalwood infused strawberries. This smells incredible, like an orange creamsicle smoothie with strawberries. Super cute too, love the orange color.
Also pictured in the photo above is the perfume oil in the scent Whale Talk - tropical mash-up of strawberries, black currant, jasmine, grapefruit and fresh avocado. This is a super perfect summer scent, I can see myself needing to get this in lots of products, especially a lotion.
And a newish product from FCS, the lip gloss is in the scent Oooooooooh...Barracuda - juicy cantaloupe, crisp green honeydew and sweet red watermelon, a splash of lime and a sprinkle of raw cane sugar. I normally don't love anything with a cantaloupe scent, but combined with the other elements in this makes it work for me. Reminds me of fruit salad at a picnic!
Below we have a new (to my knowledge) product, a spray lotion in the scent called Aqua Scum - juicy lychee, crisp apple and mouthwatering peach nectar. This is heavy on the lychee, again not one of my favorite scents, and some note in this is bringing it to a more perfumey angle for me. It's not my cup of tea, but it definitely may work fabulously for you. I do really love the formula of the lotion though, super light and absorbs so fast!
Probably my most used product of all time from FCS is their hand sanitizer, and the one they gave us in this box is in the scent Lil' Blue - anjou pear and juicy apples, plum blossoms, sandalwood and a twist of amber. This is another fruity perfumey scent, but I think it works better than Aqua Scum. The notes all mix really well together and makes this really fresh and wearable.
Shown below is a little green turtle shaped fizzy called a pedi-bomb in the scent Fin. Noggin. Duuude. - lemon-lime fizzy pop floating with orchids and a curl of white chocolate. I can mostly smell the lemon-lime in this but there is a complexity about it which is nice. I can't wait to soak my tootsies using this cute little guy!
The body butter, called whipped cream, is in the scent Intervention! - creamy coconut milk and tangy pineapples. The quintessential beachy drink smell, very tropical! I wish I loved summer scents more in general, because this is sure to be a big hit with most people, I'm just not into that beach-type scent. I will be using this though, as their whipped cream is a holy grail product for me!
And last we see a "don't be jelly" soap in the scent Jellyman - black cherry, watermelon and frothy iced guava nectar floating with sliced strawberries and key limes. This scent seems mostly black cherry-like to me with some of the other fruits lingering in the background to make it more interesting and deep. The jelly soap is one of the funnest products FCS puts out, it's jelly but it's soap!
So this box, like I mentioned, is already sold out. They put out a subscription of the soap boxes quarterly so if you want the next one, be sure to sign up long before they come out so you don't miss it! The box costs $19.99 but they send out a $10 off code after you get it to be used on their site later, so it's really like getting the box for $9.99 which is so great!
This will not work with the purchase of the soap box, but if you are ordering from their site for the first time, you can get $5 off a minimum order of $30 using my referral link: http://r.sloyalty.com/r/u3Swp30VtTsE. If you decide to use the code the link will give you, it helps me out a little by giving me points and you save some money, win-win!
