So I’ve read a million and a half great blogs in my lifetime, left bazillions of comments and never thought to claim my own little piece of the madness. Well, here we are, and what better way to kick things off than to share my thoughts on my latest (and by FAR greatest) obsession: Fortune Cookie Soap.
Fortune Cookie Soap is a company based in Oklahoma, run by bath and body geniuses, Shannon and Justin Prokop. They specialize in anything and everything that makes your skin and your bath (or shower) totally amazing. This includes everything from bar soaps, bath melts, whipped creams and of course their signature fortune cookie shaped soaps, which are hollow like the real thing and even include a fortune inside each one!
I stumbled across them through a review posted by Leesha (xsparkage on Youtube) and finally brought myself to place my first order a month and a half ago. The two that stood out to me were the Cupcake Bar Soap and the Cinnamon Rolled Bar Soap, so that’s what I started with.
As soon as I took the lid off the container to the Cupcake, I was in awe! It looked exactly like a real cupcake, with creamy white ‘whipped’ soap for the frosting (rainbow sprinkles included!) and solid pink soap for the cupcake base. The smell was amazing, I could tell a difference with the top having a sweet buttercream scent and the base having a soft vanilla sugary scent. It smelled so real, even my 17 month old son has tried to eat it a few times now! It lathered beautifully and was enough to fill my bathroom with sweet, cupcake scented steam and linger on my skin for a few hours after, but not overpowering whatsoever. My advice with this, cut it in half and put one half by your sink and one half beside your shower. As a whole, it’s too big to bring the whole thing in with you when you wash. You definitely get your monies worth! It rinsed clean with that squeaky soap feel, which I love, but was not tight or dry at all afterwards.
Next up is the Cinnamon Rolled Bar Soap. This one came in a bag and was the one I could smell through the box before I even cut the tape. It looks like something out of a Cinnabon display, complete with drizzled soap frosting and topped with real cinnamon. It’s a pretty strong scent but if you like cinnamon, you need this in your life asap! I also felt this was too big to use in the shower as is, so I cut it in half and at first the shape seemed a little awkward to hold but I soon found the angles of the soap to make for a nice massage on my skin as opposed to a soap with a rounded shape. This left my bathroom smelling like a bakery, my skin super soft and even if you decide it’s too pretty to use, leaving it on your counter unused will still give your bathroom a warm, cinnamon scent.
I can’t forget to mention how friendly and wonderful they are! They regularly interact with fans and customers on Facebook and Twitter, hold contests all the time and genuinely care about the feedback you give. I have since placed 4 more orders and can’t wait to try more! They just launched a whole bunch of amazing fall/holiday products so if there is one company to really pamper yourself (and your mom, and your sister, and your best friend etc, etc) with, this is it. I absolutely guarantee you will not be disappointed!
I’m expecting some nice smelling packages at my door in a day or two, so check back for more soapy fall goodness in the coming week. J Thanks for stopping by!
