I was not a fan of both the shampoo and the conditioner. First the shampoo was far too and watered down; it was hard to keep it in my hand. The shampoo also was horrible at lathering it took 2 handfuls of shampoo to lather my hair and even that was substandard. I also needed an abnormally large amount of conditioner to make it feel conditioned. As far as color preserving goes I don’t think it worked any better than regular shampoo and conditioner to prevent color fading. With my dyed red hair it’s about 2 weeks and color has faded and these products did not seem to extend the time between colorings.  I will not be purchasing these products again.

Lemon Zing Fortune Cookie soap ($2.75)

I really like this product. It is shaped like a fortune cookie and even has a message in it. The smell of it is Just like a lemon drop candy, which lemon is my favorite smell. I have been using this soap in the shower and it leaves my skin so soft and gives that clean feeling without the tight feeling which I feel most bar soaps always leave me with. The soap is even gentle enough to use on the face without drying me out or leaving that tight feeling.

Dragon fruit Shaved Ice Bath Bomb 8oz ($6.99)

This looks exactly like a snow cone and smells like one too! You can get about 3 uses out of one bomb, but I did find it hard to break it up. I had to almost chisel it with a butter knife. I really like this product. I enjoy bath soaking products and this was a great on. It left my shin feeling soft and smelling good.

Juicy watermelon Lip Tint .07oz ($4.25)

This product goes on so smooth and leaves lips really soft. The smell is a strong artificial watermelon smell reminding me of watermelon candy. The lip tint doesn’t have any tint to it in my opinion; it doesn’t add any color to the lips. I don’t feel that for the $4.25 price for .07oz and the fact that it has no tint it’s worth it. However if it were twice the size which is the size of a regular chopstick it would be worth the price.

Cupcake Bar soap ($6.95)

This is an adorable soap, looking just like a cup cake. The smell of it is just like a baked strawberry cake. This would be one of those soaps that is too cute to use, and would be a great decorative bathroom soap. I have yet to use it just because I like how it looks too much.

Carrot Cake bath Melt 3 for ($11.25)

The carrot cake bath melts smell just like spiced carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. You put them in the bath tub and soak. They leave your skin really moisturized and would be great someone with dry skin.

Over all I really like the products from Fortune Cookie Soaps. The fact they only use safe ingredient is an awesome plus. They smell amazing and leave my skin feeling good. My only real problem was the packaging, or the lack there of. Some of the products came packaged in plastic zip lock baggies. I received the bath melts in a broken and crumbled state. Even though the website had a disclaimer saying that the bath melts may arrive either broken crumbled or melted, I think that even if it were packaged in the plastic baggie it could have been tightly wrapped inn the baggie to prevent the breakage.  I also think that a fragile this side up sticker when it was shipped would have prevented the cupcake soap from looking so banged up.
