The Music Box was generous enough to send me a box to review.

I got a variety of goodies in my box. A sticker, shades, wristband and business cards (MP3 downloads) from artists.

The only think lacking is a note cared givng more in an insite of the contents and why they were picked.

3 CS frum up an coming artist.

I’d wanted to get the Soap Box from Fortune Cookie Soap since I first learned about them on MUT. They seem so fun and whimsical, not to mention they are cruelty free. I signed up for their newsletter and screamed with glee when I found out the theme for their fall soap box. Witch Please! It’s a mash up of Wizard of Oz and Wicked. I am a Wizard of Oz fanatic!!

Fortune Cookie Soap is based in Oklahoma. The Soap Box is a quarterly subscription box, centered around handcrafted, bath + body products.

Price: $19.99 with free shipping. Ships internationally.

All subscription boxes will include 8 exclusive FCS products in adorable mini-sizes. You will also receive a $10 FCS gift code with each Soap Box, that can be redeemed online or in their retail store. So basically this box is $9.99!

Here is the inside of the product card. It’s so glossy, shines and vibrant. I love it!

Here are my treats!

“Roy G. Biv” OCD Hand Sanitizer ~ Notes of lemon, mandarin, cotton blossom and vanilla.

“There’s No Place Like Home” Fortune Cookie Soap ~ Smells AH-MAZ-ING! Curled Macintosh apple peels with cinnamon, allspice and clove.

“No Good Deed” Whipped Cream ~ They made 4 different flavors of this. IMO I got the best one. I want to eat it!! Pumpkin puree, cinnamon, Vermont maple syrup, run, french vanilla and caramelized sugar. *head explodes* I will be buying several of these when they release the full size version.

“Flying Monkeys” Personal Space Air Freshener ~ A breezy blend of peach, watermelon, neroli, jasmine and bananas!

*NEW PRODUCT* “Hair Flip” Hair Oil ~ hazelnut and vanilla cream. YUUUUUUUUM

“Miss Popular” Bubble Bath Powder ~ Sweet honey nectar with hints of star anise, star jasmine, sweet orange and blushing violet. Not my favorite. I’m not a fan of star anise.

*NEW PRODUCT* “Swankified” Walnut Facial Scrub ~ Ripe bananas, sugary cake battery (how am I not supposed to want to eat this!) topped with walnuts and baked to a golden brown.

“The Shiz” Perfume Oil ~ Top notes of maple leaves with laurel and sweet clove.

I am beyond impressed with this box. At first I thought the samples were small, but they are perfect for trying product out. You get just enough to want more. 🙂 You really must check out their website. They have lots of yummy interesting flavors. I can’t wait to try them all!

I GLADLY paid for this box and all opinions are mine. ~D

Birchbox wants us to keep cool and laugh our way into fall. Nah, I’m going to go kicking and screaming. 🙂 Anyway, the theme this month is “Lighten Up.”

LAQA & Co ~ Sheer Lip Lube Pencil in Menatour (Purple) This is supposed to be sheer. Purple is my favorite color but I’m to chicken to try this.

Neil George ~ Shampoo/Conditioner The smell reminds me of Pinesol. 0.O

Dr. Jart + ~ Dis-A-Pore Beauty Balm LOVE Korean beauty product.

**BEAUTY EXTRA**

Benefit Cosmetics ~ Total Moisture Facial Cream X2  OH I love the smell of this. It goes on so smooth too!

This month’s box was Ehh but I’m still happy.

It’s IPSY time! This month’s theme is Beauty Schooled.  Not impressed.

I knew it was going to be bad when I opened my pink envelope and the bag was smooched small. At first I thought it was empty!!

Manna Kadar Cosmetics ~ Sheer Glo ($7.83) I got this in another bag recently and it did not blend well on me. So bummed.

Lord & Berry  ~ Silk Kajal Kohl Eye Pencil. This is soo tiny. Not even going to attempt to use. Seriously?

Jersey Shore Sun ~ Mongongo Lip Conditioner ($5.50)

Urban Decay ~ Perversion Mascara ($5.50) meh

GLAMGLOW ~ YOUTHMUD® TINGLEXFOLIATE Treatment  ($10.87) 15 g. The only thing I like in this bag. I love this actually. I think I’m the last person on earth who hasn’t tried GlamGlow.

The value is high, but I still feel I got hosed. 🙁

I sadly paid for this bag and all opinions are mine. There are referral links in this post. ~D

Nanacoco ~ Lip Gloss in Secret Crush ($3.99) Another full size product! Not sticky so it’s a keeper! There is a light shimmer, but it’s not crazy.

Style Essentials ~ Nail polish in ?? I can’t find a shade on this. ($4.99)

LA  Fresh ~ Travel Lite Facial Cleansing Wipes ($2.50) I love these wipes! I never complain when I get them. I have some in all my go bags. They don’t dry out my skin, or break me out.

Totally happy with this months’ box. I’m also thinking about getting another subscription to take advantage of the FREEBOX. This is the second month that nothing is going in my swap pile. 🙂
