They did it AGAIN folks! Just when we thought the ever-expanding line of Fortune Cookie Soap products couldn't get anymore to die for, they went above and beyond to create a fun, fresh, fruity and highly addictive summer collection.
In an ideal world, I would purchase the whole she-bang, let my cellphone bill rot and close the curtains when the landlord shows up, but it's just not a pretty situation if ya get my drift. BUT - I did have the chance to get a nice assortment of brand-spanking-new goodies and I'd love to share them up close and personal with you guys!

You know that distinct scent you get when you open a full box of FCS stuff? That needs to be made into a signature scent!
3 new Whipped Cream Body Butters!
'Private Beach' - A very soft, subtle jasmine fragrance with just a touch of barely-there pineapple.
'Pool Party' - Sugary-sweet meets aquatic, with barely a hint of refreshing mintiness.
'Pinky Swear' - Girly and sweet! Strong notes of banana & cotton candy, with a finish of not-too-sweet sugar candy.
Solid Shampoo Bar in 'Pool Party'
Expecting an ocean-y blue colour, I was shocked to find it comes in a dusty charcoal-gray!
Nevertheless, it smells absolutely incredible. So fresh, sugary sweet with a minty kick.
Bubble Bar in 'Pool Party'
If you couldn't tell by now, I harbour an unhealthy obsession with this scent in particular! No surprise it went from underdog to crowd favourite! This bubble bar is about the size of my hand, is definitely heavier than I thought it would be and in your hand feels like a straight-up bath bomb. It smells fan-freaking-tastic, and I'm looking forward to seeing how easy it is to crumble under running water due to it's dense/solid nature.
Hydrate Me! in 'Pool Party'
This scent & I are currently planning an elaborate pool-side wedding (too much? hah) but in all honestly.. HOLY CRAP, it made it all the way here to Canada UNMELTED! It must be a work of magic, and I'm ecstatic to receive it with the gorgeous design still intact. This bar is buttery-smooth on the skin with just a single swipe, SUPER moisturizing and when used after shaving, leaves you with the most unbelievably soft, glowy summer skin.
Gelato Fizzy in 'Wish You Were Here..'
Another stunningly adorable bath fizzy shaped like a gelato ice cream. Packed with moisturizing and softening ingredients and scented in a deliciously girly fragrance. Exotic, tropical flowers and fresh mango give this a super sweet, candy-ish scent. They say to break it up for 2-3 baths, but I honestly drop the whole thing for an especially indulgent bath. Enough fragrance to scent me, the entire upstairs of my house and left me with calming, milky pink water.
Gelato Fizzy in 'Summer Sweet Tea'
I was expecting a yellow colour for this bath bomb, but I actually really like the green. It's a soothing, deep mint colour and smells just like the name! I get notes of sugar, lemon, sweetened green tea and just a touch of zest. It smells almost overpoweringly strong out of the container, but is relaxing and mellow in the warm bath water. Leaves a pale, milky green shade in the water.
Bar Soap (with loofah) in 'Pinky Swear'
I've been seeing loofah soaps popping up everywhere and was ecstatic to finally see my favourite brand release some of their own! My camera doesn't do justice, this soap is a SUPER vibrant, almost neon pink with the real, natural loofah imbedded inside. It has that same sweet banana, sugar, cotton candy scent and will be amazing to say bye-bye to rough, dead skin and leave your brand new skin sexy, smooth and smelling amazing!
Fortune Cookie Soap in 'Pinky Swear'
Besides the intoxicating scents, the fun colours used in the summer collection products are a stand-out hit for me! Done in a neon pink with cream coloured patches and also scented with sweet banana, cotton candy and a hint of sugar. These are the ones that'll get the most 'ooohs and ahhhs' if you splurge on a bunch for your friends and family. (Let's be realistic, if you only buy one, you aren't going to share. I guarantee it.)
Fortune Cookie Soap in 'Road Trip'
A pale, creamy yellow colour, this may be the most normal/muted of all the new signature soaps. It smells like soft honeysuckle flowers and a touch of fresh lemon. This will be a great pick-me-up in the morning, enough zest to wake you up but the perfect blend of florals to leave you clean and feminine. It's also very complex, the scent really evolves once you get it wet and later it up. Must try!
Fortune Cookie Soap in 'Pool Party'
As far as visuals and scent combined, this one wins me over hands down. The gorgeous pink to blue to purple swirls/vein design is so stunning and unique! This is one of those scents us girls will find excuses to wash with, and the fellas will find it hard to keep their noses of us. ;)
Fortune Cookie Soap in 'Wish You Were Here'
A pretty peach shade, drizzled with baby pink and scented with tropical florals and juicy mango. It's bright, fruity, sweet and addictive! I swear the soap formulas get richer & creamier each time I buy more. These clean even the dirtiest of us, but don't leave skin dry or tight.
Fortune Cookie Soap in 'Sugar Britches'
Wasn't sure I would love this, but I definitely need to purchase more in this scent! Coloured a gorgeous pinky-purple with whitish-cream veined throughout, it smells like juicy, sweet watermelon and soft, feminine violets. I can't stop smelling it!
Fortune Cookie Soap in 'Private Beach'
This soap is a creamy-white colour with hi-lighter yellow drizzle and has the most subtle of all the new summer fragrances. Soft jasmine, a hint of pineapple and although not in the description, I swear I get faint notes of creamy coconut. I'm saving this for the disgustingly hot days when the stronger scents can be too overpowering!
Sample Bath Bomb in 'Private Beach'
Yayyy for freebies! I haven't opened this but I'm sure it's going to be lovely and force me to go back and order the full-size bath bomb. :)
OCD Hand Sanitizer in 'Pool Party'
These clean my hands so well (especially important having a 2 year old who catches colds like they're goin out of style!), the alcohol scent dissipates in seconds and I'm left with germ-free, sweet ocean-y scented hands. :) It's also the perfect gel/serum consistency. Nothing worse than chasing drips of runny sanitizer down to your elbows!
