Alright I finally managed to get my first order in for fortune cookie soaps and I am not disappointed. I love, seriously LOVE, small family shops like this. I had heard nothing but good things about this company. The first thing I have to say is that the shipping was incredibly fast! I got this in 3 days, which was crazy. With processing time and all, I thought that it would take longer, but I was wrong. Not expecting this to arrive for at least week, I was shocked to find it on my doorstep this morning. I ordered a lot of little things so this review is going to be broken up into two posts since I haven't used all of the products yet and it's pretty hard to review something before using it.
Hydrate Me- Tiny Tribute
This is a hunger games inspired scent for Prim. Not too sure why I picked this one but it just called to me.
It arrived melted, but I am in Florida and it is spring so I'm not too stunned. The website does have a warning about it melting in higher temps. Anyways this is a hydrating bar! Because of it's molten delivery, I haven't been able to use it as a bar yet. The site suggests to freeze it to get it into bar form again. I honestly prefer scooping a little out of the tub it came in and rubbing it on to my body. For five minutes or so, it is a bit oily, but soaks in eventually. Essentially I've been using it like a lotion thus far, so I threw it in the freezer today to see how I like it in its intended bar form. As a lotion, I love this! Even after one use, you notice a suppleness to your skin. The real downfall of this application, is that I feel like I'm using way more than I should. I think that I'll use less and it won't be so greasy when I use it the way it was intended to be used haha. But either way I do love this.
The scent to be frank, reminds me of Downy detergent. While the actual scent is "jasmine, some rose, some lily of the valley and some fruit notes too!" I just smell detergent. I'm not sure if I love or hate this aspect of it, I mean, I am using it...But I do feel like I'll try another scent. I do like the product so much that if I don't find another scent in a "Hydrate Me" bar that I like I'll continue to grab this one.
Shower Oil- Eat Me
This smells like pineapple upside down cake OMG
Okay now that I have that out of my system. This is incredibly scented and moisturizing. What I do is spray this on after my shower and then put some of my Hydrate Me bar on my rough patches. This leaves me so soft and the scent lingers for hours....tho it does make me hungry. NOM NOM NOM
Fortune Cookie Soap- In The Loop
Okay so I TOTALLY use this as a body soap even though its a hand soap, is that terrible? I don't know it just smells so good and I didn't get the full body bar, haha. It smells exactly like fruit loops, it's so spot on it hurts. I don't know about how it "hydrates" my body as a body soap since I use my shower oils and such after but it does make me smell like breakfast.
Fortune Cookie Soap- Unicorn Farts
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS SMELLS LIKE. They don't have any hints on the website and to me it smells of old lady perfume?! Maybe I have to use it to smell it properly...I haven't used it yet because the odor is a bit offensive.
Out of everything I purchased this was the only product I wasn't wild about and I don't think I'll like. I bought it only because of the name, UNICORN FARTS, who could resist? Though it is really cute...
They just released a new mothers day collection today and it hurts...I want to make a new order now...
Also whoops I posted this prematurely and unfinished hopefully no one caught that....
Part 2 will be up within the week.
