Fortune Cookie Soap now has a monthly subscription box in addition to their quarterly box! The FCS of the Month Club features full sized products including past scents making a revival, current releases, and at least one brand new product for us to be guinea pigs with! I love FCS’s products and I am so excited to see what they have chosen! The box is $28 a month and shipping is calculated at check out based on your location.

Each month the FCS theme is revealed for next month, and you have the option to skip it if the theme isn’t your cup of tea.

The packaging for the month’s items is redone to match one another, so they’re lacking the fun labels of the original. Makes sense, since some of these scents are from older collections and have been brought back!

The info booklet includes details on all the products as well as scent descriptions.

Eat Me Shower Oil ($10.99) Something smelled so good when I opened the box, like pina coladas, and this is what it was. Pineapple, vanilla cake, and buttercream. It smells soooo yummy. This is a light sesame oil to spray on shower-damp skin.

Honey Dew Me Shave Oil ($10.99) Melon scented oil for shaving. It’s a blend of grapeseed, olive, and neem oil. The pump for this is finicky and jammed repeatedly for me. The first squirt was very fragranced but the rest was drowned out by the natural scent of the oil. This was a miss for me. The scent isn’t available on the FCS website but I’m sure it will be soon.

Bravery Deep Conditioner ($12.99) A deeply nourishing and repairing conditioner. The Bravery scent is juicy nectarine with leafy and woodsy undertones. My hair is far too fine to survive deep conditioners so this is going off to a friend.

Don’t Drink Me Shower Jelly ($9.99) This reminds me of the shower jellies from Lush, only this one is much more firm and dense. The scent is a deliciously yummy citrusy scent worthy of Alice herself.

Tink Sugar Scrub ($10.99) Tink is another great scent — cherries, toasted coconut, and sugar. The scrub is hard and exfoliating but it is crumbly and small pieces will break off if you’re too vigorous.

Poisonous Fog Shower Steamers ($5.99) I was hoping these would be included in the box and they were! Shower steamers are fizzers you put in the shower out of the direct spray of water. As the water hits it, it fizzes and releases scent. Poisonous Fog has a woodsy scent to it with coconut and marshmallow in it too.

Pool Party Body Wash Infused Sponge ($5?) This is a new item for FCS, and I’ve always wanted to try one of these. The sponge is huge and soaked with Pool Party body wash; it’s a sweet minty scent. I really enjoyed this, and it will last around 10 washes before the body wash is all gone.

This month’s box had a value of around $70 — I guessed on the value of the body sponge — which is consistent. It wasn’t my favourite FCS box, but I’m excited about the shower oil, shower steamers, and sponge. The other items will be used or gifted as well. May’s theme is PEDI and June’s theme is NAKED. Both the May and June boxes are sold out, so if you are interested in the FCS monthly box, maie sure you check for when July’s box goes on sale!

    What a great looking box! I love i when shower steamers are included. Subscription boxes should include them more often. The Eat Me Shower Oil sounds amazing!

      The shower oil is definitely the hero item for me – I could smell it from inside the box as I was carrying it home from the post office. The shower fizzies are also great and I like that it’s one of their permanent scents so I can redorder!
