Fortune Cookie Soap “As You Wish” August 2020 Review
Here is the info sheet for this month’s box.
Mostly Dead OCD Hand Sanitizer, 1 oz - Retail Value $2.49
Hand sanitizers are making a much more frequent appearance in the monthly boxes since we’ve started living in COVID times. I’ll take all I can get, especially ones that smell like honey, toasted almonds, pumpkin, and amber. Can you feel that? Fall is in the air, and it’s almost here!
Inconceivable! Perfume Oil - Buy the full-size version for $9.99
I don’t usually use perfume oils so these products are a bit of a miss for me- I am all ears if anyone has any suggestions for non-traditional ways to use them. This has a scent blend of fall woods, black amber, and poached pears topped with whipped cream. This gives off the same fall vibes as the hand sanitizer, so I may actually add a few drops to some warm water on the stove to scent my apartment (did I just come up with a non-traditional use while I was typing this review?).
Drop. Your. Sword. Scent Diffuser - Retail Value $12.99
I like using these scent diffusers in my car, but they also will work in other small spaces like closets and drawers. The scent of this is described as “medieval honey apple mead,” and I need to go find myself a meadery if mead tastes as good as this smells.

Mawiage Whipped Cream, 1 oz - Estimated Value $3 (Buy the 4 oz version for $11.99)
I am a big fan of the whipped cream lotion formula from FCS, so I am never unhappy to see it in the monthly boxes. I thought I smelled cinnamon when I applied it, but I think that smell is actually the cardamom that is blended with rose water, pistachio, pound cake, and buttercream. It almost reminds me of a cinnamon breakfast pastry, and it smells delicious while giving my dry legs the moisture it craves.
Pit Of Despair Shower Steamer, 1 ct - Estimated Value $2 (Buy a set of 3 for $5.99)
I love aromatherapy in my shower- I actually have a shower spray from FCS (this one!) that I use almost every time I shower. This little steamer was a delight- I put it out of the direct stream of water and experienced a relaxing shower that had fragrant notes of patchouli, lemongrass, and plumeria.

Prepare To Die Fortune Cookie Soap - Retail Value $3.99
Every quarter this box will send their signature fortune cookie-shaped soap! This is scented with cookie dough spiced with clove and saffron, and the design of this makes me feel like a teenaged-boy could really love it (I don't mean that in a bad way!). The soap itself lathers nicely, and it holds up in my shower pretty well even though the soap is thin.
The Verdict: FCS is one of my favorite affordable beauty boxes that I look forward to every month- I can always expect unique scents and fun products. My favorites in this box were the shower steamer and whipped cream, but I thought the scents on all of the items included this month were lovely.
