I’m a bit late on my subscription box posts due to our month long stay in Utah for August, so I will be playing catch up with those over the next couple of weeks. I was very excited to come home to lots of fun packages to open, including one of my all time favorite subscriptions, the FCS Soap Box. If you’re not familiar, FCS stands for Fortune Cookie Soap, which is a husband and wife run handmade soap and body products company. The FCS Soap Box is a quarterly subscription service that includes sample sizes of upcoming seasonal releases and it is Fun, Fun, Fun! If you love trying new and unique bath and body products then this box is for you!
The Fall 2014 FCS Soap is described as a “wicked mashup of an old classic and a current Broadway hit.” In other words, it’s The Wizard of Oz meets Wicked. What a fun concept for a bath and body product line!
What’s in the Fall 2014 box?
✻ “There’s No Place Like Home” Fortune Cookie Soap – I love their signature product, a soap shaped like a fortune cookie complete with a fortune inside. This one smells like cinnamon, apples, and spices, which is the perfect combination for fall. I love how it is red and sparkly just like Dorothy’s ruby slippers!
✻ “Roy G. Biv” OCD Hand Sanitizer – Described as a “full spectrum of bright citrus notes and florals against a cool fall background,” this scent reminds me of clean dishes for some reason. I really enjoy the scent of dish soap, so that works for me! The OCD Hand Sanitizer is my favorite formula, hands down (and sanitized!).
✻ “No Good Deed” Whipped Cream – An amazing fall scent combination that reminds me of pumpkin waffles complete with maple syrup and whipped cream. The FCS whipped cream is one of my favorite formulas on the market.
✻ “Swankified” Walnut Facial Scrub – FCS has been working on expanding their skincare line. This new daily facial scrub smells like banana bread! I can’t wait to see how it works on my skin.
✻ “Miss Popular” Bubble Bath Powder – I love bubble baths and this powder version is a different variety than I usually use. It has a beautiful, subtle floral scent.
✻ “Hair Flip” Hair Oil – Another new product from FCS, they claim that one to two drops of this hair oil is “all you need for ultimate shine without greasy residue.” My baby fine hair will surely be the test of that! The combination of hazelnut and vanilla smells heavenly and light in the hair.
✻ “Flying Monkeys” Personal Air Freshener – Yes! I fist pumped when I saw this in the box. Personal Space is my all time favorite air freshener, and I always keep one stocked in our powder room at home as well as with out toiletries when we travel. Man and woman sharing a bathroom for a week? Let’s be honest, air freshener is not just polite, but necessary. After reading the fruity description of the scent, I expected something much sweeter upon spraying it for the first time, but the scent is actually very subtle and fresh smelling. Perfect!
✻ “The Shiz” Perfume Oil – I love the warm, musky scent of this perfume, which is just in time for fall. It’s in the cutest glass bottle I’ve ever seen and is the perfect size to test out while traveling!
