Do you fear the zombie apocalypse? Do you want to have the best possible "protection" against these monsters? Then you need to check out he Fortune Cookie Soap Company's Zombie Collection!
This Zombie themed "first-aid kit" consists of bath and beauty products that at first glance may seem like the perfect weapon against a Zombie attack but is more likely to make you smell amazing and moisturize your skin.
When opening the box the first item my eyes when to was...
Retail Price: $13.99
At first I thought it was one of those bags of sour candy syrup...but no! This is a bag of liquid body wash. Although it is a bit disturbing to think of washing up with a liquid soap that looks like something I've drawn from a patient, I know that it fits the theme perfectly and I have a member of my family who will want to take his next few showers if he can use this. My nephew saw this soap and knew instantly it would be his.
According to the FCS website the wash smells like grape bubblegum which is perfect for my nephew.
The second item in the box their signature fortune cookie soap.
Retail Price: $3.99
These fortune cookie shaped soaps are what this company is known for. In this case I got what looked like a charcoal fortune cookie that had an eerie iridescence to it. The soap smelled like a strawberry's and cream muffin and had a little paper fortune sticking out of one end. As with the real life fortune cookie's, I can't wait to open this one up and see what the message inside says...
Retail Price: $10.99
This caramel apple scented moisturizer was surprisingly thick and creamy when I dabbed a bit on the back of my hand. It melted into my skin quickly and didn't leave behind a greasy feeling that I usually get when using a thicker cream. My skin did feel more hydrated after applying and the scent was sweet and not at all overwhelming. This is definitely a cream I would use prior to bed so my skin can reap the most benefits.
Retail Price: $7.99
This room spray is the perfect scent for fall. What's more is that this is the perfect size spray bottle to take with you if you are travelling. I love taking a small candle or room spray with me when I travel for work or for the holidays and this one smells wonderful. It's all of those scents that remind you of fall...apples, cinnamon sticks, brown sugar, vanilla and oak. If you've ever had a chance to smell a Bath and Body Works Leaves candle, this is the perfect room spray to match with it. Very similar in those autumn and a little fireside scent. I loved the warmth and sweetness this spray brings with it.
The next item in the box was Liquid Courage Perfume Oil.
Retail Price: $6.99
This perfume oil is very light and sweet. If you are looking for a more "fall scent" this is not for you. If you prefer the light and sweet scents...then this is DEFINITELY for you. You get a tiny bottle of perfume oil in the box and when I dabbed it on my wrists I picked up the sweet candy like scent. It's not a sickly sweet that you may expect when I say candy, it's more like a summery scent that is perfect for day wear. This is going into my travel case.
The Weapon of Choice OCD Hand Sanitizer was the next item I pulled out of the box.
Retail Price: $2.89
This is another product I've come to expect great things from when purchasing it from FCS. Their OCD Hand Sanitizers are not only great smelling but the formulation is so much better than those you can purchase at Bath and Body Works or your local drug stores. The reason I say that is that being a nurse I have doused my hands in Purell and other hand sanitizers and have found them so drying. The only thing about this hand sanitizer is that it is not at all drying. I thought it was a fluke when I received my Tink hand sanitizer in another FCS themed box but the formula of this hand sanitizer is exactly the same. Unfortunately this one didn't stay in my possession for long and was given to my brother because of his love of zombies and the scent.
The next item I found in the box was Wound Repair Salve.
Retail Price: $9.99
This product actually surprised me...I was thinking that I was getting another hand cream in this little container and was greeted by the sight of something that looked like a lip gloss. This wound repair is very similar to Burt's Bee's Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream. It looks like it can be used for the same things as well. Dry cracked skin or cuticles can be treated by rubbing some of this onto them. It feels like Vaseline but smells like chocolate cake. I'm not too big on the feel of this since I don't care for very greasy consistencies but I would use this when doing a manicure. I just hope that the scent doesn't make me want to bake a cake...
Retail Price: $5.99
Unfortunately I've never actually gotten to use this product before myself but I did give the only other Steam Me Up Scotty I've owned to my nephew when he was sick and congested. These little cubes are used in the shower out of direct contact with water and they give off a aromatheraphy scent. In this case it's coffee, caramel and chocolate. Zombies must really like the darker, richer sweets in life. LOL. I will be giving this one a try when I'm dragging one morning to see if these scents give me the lift I'm looking for.
Overall I think this was a great little themed box. Perfectly suited for the time of year.
