[Body Products] Fortune Cookie Soaps Antici....pation products

Fortune Cookie Soaps is one of my favorite companies to go to for body creams, perfume oils and all types of body products. They are all themed and many are themed after fandoms I adore! Antici...pation was no different. I heard they were doing a Rocky Horror themed set and I wanted to check it out! So I purchased four of the products in the set and my review of them is below!

The first product I tried when I got my box from Fortune Cookie Soaps was "Janet". I love the whipped creams, they are super moisturizing and not oily on my skin so I always try to grab the ones they make for their lines. Janet really is no different. This one is 4 oz. and retails for 10.99. It smells of watermelon and grapes and is a really pretty light purple color.

At first I was really weary about trying the perfume oils, I am really picky with the scents I wear. I received the Lost Girl perfume in the summer travel set and decided to start giving a few of the perfume oils a try when they seem like scents I would like from the descriptions. Gold Shorts is a really interesting scent. It has a faint strawberry smell, with caramel and musk being the main scents. It is pleasant and would be great for special occasions. There is also gold glitter in the perfume oil too, which makes it look really lovely in the packaging. Gold Shorts retails for 7.99.

Just a Jump to the Left is a foaming sugar scrub with a lovely orange color. It smells of bananas, lime and coconut milk. It foams up really well and a little goes a long way. The sugar in it exfoliates your skin and leaves it feeling really smooth. A 3.2 Oz container is 6.99 on their webpage.

The last item I tried is the Science Fiction OCD hand sanitizer. This has an apple smell to me along with the normal slight alcohol smell you have with any hand sanitizer. It retails for $2.89 on their webpage. You can check out the entire line on Fortune Cookie Soaps webpage or by following the links I have put in this post!

[Geeky Makeup] July Espionage Cosmetics NEXUS! "Passport to Nihon"

The second month of Espionage Cosmetics NEXUS monthly subscription's theme had me really excited, and OMG! the nail wraps that came in it are AMAZING! I have no idea how I am going to choose between these two designs for their voting. The theme was "passport to Nihon" and it featured two Nail Wrap designs with a Japanese feel to them.

The Neko-Chan design features cute cats and hearts and is really colorful. This design is super cute (sadly this was not the one that won, man, if only there was a way to vote for both designs and they both win, lol.)

LOOK AT THOSE KITTIES!

The second design is titled Ukiyo-e, and features koi fish and a wave design on it. I love this design, it looks so good on my nails and I got so many compliments when wearing it. The wraps went on easy and stayed on for two weeks, and just looked overall awesome!

           

NEXUS is a monthly subscription through Espionage Cosmetics, where for $15.00 a month you get two nails wraps that are part of a theme. They have voting and the one with the most votes becomes a regular design that they sell on their webpage. You can find out more info here. 

[Geek Beauty] Fortune Cookie Soaps Fall Soap Box "As You Wish"

I absolutely LOVE Fortune Cookie Soaps as a brand. They handmake all their items and many of them have great fandom related themes to them! The Fall Soap Box wasnt any different. The them for fall is "As You Wish" and all of the items have a Princess Bride theme to them!

Each soap box always has the iconic fortune cookie soap in it! This one has the Drop Your Sword Fortune Cookie Soap, and has the smell of medieval honey apple mead, and a cute sword through it! The dread pirate Robert would be proud!

Probably my favorite item out of the box! The Mostly Dead Whipped Cream. I LOVE their whipped creams, they are super moisturizing and make your skin feel so good. This one also smells amazing! the description says it is "Golden honey drizzled over toasted almonds and pumpkin puree." And it does have a hint of pumpkin smell to it, which is probably why I love it so! 

Another item included in the Fall Soap Box was the Buttercup shampoo. I LOVE Fortune Cookie Soaps shampoos. They make your hair feel so good. The smell description on this one is "Candied run wrapped with ripe fig, bergamot, vetiver, warm sandalwood and sweet vanilla musk" This stuff smells great, and I am so happy they included a shampoo this time!

Prepare to Die OCD Hand Sanitizer. These hand santizers are the best, like seriously they smell amazing and work great, this one also has glitter in it! (which glitter makes everything better!) The scent is listed as "A warm blend of fresh baked cookie dough spiced with clove and saffron." It does smell yummy but use it to sanitize your hands not eat!

The Steam Me Up Scotty "Pit of Despair", is the one item I am really excited about trying in this set. I have not gotten a chance to try out these fizzy things for the shower. The description on their webpage makes them sound great though. "Directions: For maximum results take a hot, steamy shower. Simply unwrap & toss the shower fizzy on the floor to the back of your shower, out of the stream of water. You want it to slowly fizz during your shower, rather than quickly run down your drain. It's like your personal little aromatherapy room, the steamier the better!"

This one has the scent of patchouli and fresh cut lemongrass and tropical plumeria. So that just sounds amazing! 

The last group of items were all in smaller containers so I crammed them all into one photo you have (from left to right) Mawiage scented cotton ball, True Love Facial Cleansing Oil, Knight Cream Face Moisturizer, and the Inconceivable perfume oil. 

The Mawiage cotton ball has to have my favorite name out of all the items, it is a scented cotton ball that smells like pound cake, cardamom, pistachio and rosewater. 

The True Love Facial Clensing Oil is GREAT! This stuff makes your skin feel so good,. You put some in your hands, rub it together until it gets a milky color and then massage it onto your face, then rinse off. 

Knight Cream Face Moisturizer is a great smooth moisturizer that soaks into you skin and helps keep your face from drying out. 

And lastly the Inconceivable Perfume oil is a great smelling perfume of "fall woods, black amber and poached pears". It smells wonderful. 

There are a lot more items in this set that were not included in the soap box, and you can check them out on the Fortune Cookie Soaps webpage. A bunch say out of stock right now, but they restock regularly as they make products since all are handmade and shipped out. You can also find the link to their soap boxes as well (which come out four times a year, and cost $19.99.)

[Geeky Beauty] Fortune Cookie Soaps Summer Soap Box

Four times a year Fortune Cookie Soap does a Soap Box, it costs 19.99 each time and you get sent smaller versions of their new lines they have coming out. The Summer box for 2016 was titled "Just Keep Swimming". This was my first Soap Box and I was so excited since I have tried a bunch of Fortune Cookie soaps products, but getting smaller version of stuff I normally would not buy to try is great since it has made me want to get larger versions or try other collections with them in it.

I'll start off with the staple of Fortune Cookie Soaps, the Fortune Cookie Soap! This one is Orange with white stripes to go along with the Finding Nemo theme. It is an orange scent with vanilla in it as well. It also has hints of strawberry and sandalwood. Very nice to smell and the scent is not over powering. The design is so pretty that I almost do not want to use it.

Duuuuuude! This hand sanitizer is like, awesome! The hand sanitizer is actually the first ever product I purchased from Fortune Cookie Soaps and I really loved it. This one has a pear and apples scent to it, and the bottle is the perfect size to fit in a purse or store in a car! 

I love FCS's whipped creams, they feel so good on the skin and it is always the one product I will purchase from any of their sets, since I know if it is cream or aloe I will love it and it will feel amazing on my skin! Intervention has a coconut and pineapple smell to it, I am not a huge pineapple fan, but I would still use this anyways since this is one of my favorite products from them! 

I had to be careful with this one at first to make sure the avocado in it wouldn't break me out, luckily it did not (I have a food allergy and it occasionally bothers me in bath/makeup products too.) This has a strong jasmine, strawberry and black currant smell to it, and it smells amazing.

My favorite scent from this entire line, it smells good enough to eat! But don't do that! The main scent in this is cherry, which is why I love it so much I think, but is also has Guava and Watermelon in there too with a small hint of strawberries and key lime. This stuff is so fun, it is a jelly that you lather up and use as a body wash in the shower/tub whatever. 

This stuff is so nice compared to normal lotion bottles. It sprays on and soaks into you skin so well. You spray it into you hands or where you want to put it and then rub it in, no creamy mess or anything. It has a Lychee smell with apples (it also says peach on the card but I cant smell that.) I love Lychee so this one smelled great to me! 

Visually this was my favorite thing in the box! I LOVE turtles so a pedi bomb shaped as one is awesome! It has a lemon limey smell with a hint of orchids in it. My feet are looking forward to this little guy when I get a chance to use him! 

The last item is a lip gloss. this stuff smells amazing and feels amazing on your lips as well. It has a lovely light pink tint to it when worn with a wonderful shine to it. It smells like watermelon and honeydew. It can be a little messy in the small container they put it in, but other than that it is really nice.

[Geeky Makeup] Espoinage Cosmetics June 2016 BOOM Box! Naturally Awesome!

 

June's BOOM Box is my second box that I have gotten from Espionage Cosmetics, and I LOVE it! I wear their nail wraps all the time, so getting more nail wraps to add to my collection to choose from when I put new ones on is always awesome! This months theme was "Naturally Awesome" and came with a lot of really amazing items 

 

First off the nail wraps, this box had two designs in it, Pretty Poison and Turquoise. Pretty Poison is a leaf and vine deisgn with a venus fly trap on it. It is a clear design so you can wear nail polish under it, I decided not too when I wore these.  

 

I really loved how this design looks and  the earthy tones went with basically everything I would wear while I had these on!

 

The next item in this months box were three color sheets and a set of 12 color pencils. The sheets have the Espionage crest on them, a Fern Gully page and one with the word Powers on it, and who doesn't love to color! 

 

The next item is one of my favorites from the box, a fun "Feed Me" candle from Boozy Arts. I LOVE candles and use them all the time, so a new candle is always welcome in my house. This one has a pine/tree/earthy smell to it and it pleasant.

 

It also looks awesome lit!

I love Espionage's everything shadow.  So getting three colors that are meant for highlighting but could also be used as eye shadows and lip colors, so having so many options to use them for is great! I love versatile makeup! These colors have really fun names too! The bronzer color is called "Terrafirma" (bottom), A white highlighter with a hint of pink in it is called "Thermosphere" (left side), and the last highlighter is called "Cryosphere" (right side).

 

The final item in the box is absolutely my favorite out of all the items in it! Treestar Hair Pins!!!! The Land Before Time is one of my all time favorite movies. I LOVE dinosaurs and still have my Little Foot stuffed doll that my parents bought me when the movie came out, so I may have made some happy screams when I saw these after opening the BOOM Box! up. 

 

The stars are made fro wonderful quality and the hair pins fit tightly into the hair.  Such an amazing item to have in this box!!!

So far I have had nothing but good things to say about Espionage Cosmetics, and recommend them to all my friends who love geeky makeup! Want to check out the BOOM Box! or their monthly NEXUS? Check them out here!

[Body Products] Fortune Cookie Soaps "We're All Mad Here 2.0" Whipped Cream

 

In spring of 2015 Fortune Cookie Soaps released their Wonderland soap box. Now they are back doing a 2.0 line, and have sent out some samples of their whipped creams. I was lucky enough to get the "We're All Mad Here 2.0" in a recent order and I love, love, love this stuff. I have almost used this entire sample because it smells so good!

 

I was so intrigued by the whipped creams when I started looking at Fortune Cookie Soaps products last year. I wasn't sure at first if it was like Lush's  body conditioners or more like a lotion. It is a lotion or body butter style thick cream that is super moisturizing! (they also have some with Aloe in them!) The webpage describes this fragrance as "Playful mint waters and natural leafy green notes perform a masterful balancing act with musky rich cedarwood." for the original run, and the 2.0 Also has hints of watermelon in it!. This stuff smells amazing, funny enough with the scent description this would not have been one I would pick up based on the fragrance description, but I do love this and hope to get some once it is released

 

The cream is a two colored swirl in the container, the bottom being purple and the top being pink. And this stuff is super moisturizing, it is thick and soaks into the skin without a residue or oily feeling, which is great! 

 

It reminds me a lot of a mixture between lotion and body butter, it isn't runny but it isn't that super thickness you get either.  It, to me, is the perfect blend. You can check out Fortune Cookie Soaps here, and the Wonderland 2.0 line will be out eventually (no actual date from them) so keep an eye out for it and the other fragrances they will have!
