Grandma Stelle’s Hand Wash March 23, 2012

From March’s standard Birchbox I bring you Grandma Stelle’s Hand Wash. It is  a green gel that has a similar texture to nearly any other hand soap out there – think softsoap. This smells kind of neat, like minty apple – and it cleans fairly well too.  I don’t think it is far superior to a generic hand soap that you can purchase at any grocery store, but it is nice and does its job.  If you particularly like the scent of it, then it might be worth getting the soap.  For me, it is not enough of an improvement over my normal soap to make me interested in spending $20.00 on it.

Sample Size 2.0 oz

The Soap Box – Fortune Cookie Soap in Spring Break in Cancun Review March 17, 2012

Here is another product from my Soap Box from Fortune Cookie Soap.

 Fortune Cookie Soap in Spring Break in Cancun is a hand soap. This is the original soap shape that gave the company its name. There is nothing extra special, it is a soap, in the shape of a fortune cookie in an neat fragrance. It cleans just as well as I expect from any soap, not leaving my hands particularly dry or particularly moisturized – but I do love using it mostly because it is sooooo cute.

The scent is nice, it is light and makes me think of the beach. It almost has a little bit of a fresia scent too, but mostly ocean and “just after rain” scents.

This was full sized. The normal product sells for about $3.00 depending on the variety, the value of this sample was $3.00.
