Check out all of our SugarBash reviews!

Each box comes with a fold out card detailing the items included.

It starts with a letter from Shirley.

The theme this box is "In Support Of" - many of the items come from brands that give back.

Now, on to the items!

Brass and Unity Onyx Bracelet – Value $55

Twenty percent of all proceeds from each bracelet sold help provide service dogs for returning vets!

This bracelet is made with a real, previously-fired brass shell casing, and onyx beads. Here it is on:

The quality of this bracelet is excellent. I was surprised by how little give the elastic band has, though. My wrists are on the smaller side, and I was just able to get this bracelet on.

Sorme Brow Lift - Value $19

This is a creamy, matte pencil designed to be used beneath brows and at the corners of your eyes. (Swatched in lower photo.)

Sorme Smearproof Eyeliner in Black Jade - Value $13

Since this is an eyeliner pencil, you can control how intense you want the look with pressure.

There is a subtle green color to this eyeliner, but really it looks black to me once it is on. Here it is swatched above the brow highlighter:

Sorme Brow Comb/Brush - Value $9

 

Gingiber Owl Tea Towel – Value $18

Twenty percent of the proceeds from sales of this towel in this box go to the Red Cross relief fund for Hurricane Harvey victims.

This towel features a  screen printed design made with water-based, eco-friendly charcoal ink on 100% cotton. And it's so cute!

Starboard Alchemy Cleansing Grains – Value $22

(Subscribers will either receive these Cleansing Grains or a mask. All are $22.)

I'm on a bit of a mask overload at the moment, so I'm happy that I received the cleansing grains. If you aren't familiar with this type of product - it's a gentle exfoliator. Mix 1-2 teaspoons of the grains with water, form a paste, then use it as a cleanser. (And I love that this formula is just made with a few natural and organic ingredients.)

Moorea Seal Pen – Value $24

I love a fancy pen, and this one has a nice weight to it!

The rose gold color is very on-trend, too.

Most importantly, the ink glides smoothly on the page.

Mable Brush - Value $10

These brushes are made from sustainably-harvested bamboo, which is naturally antibacterial, water-resistant, and biodegradable.

And the toothbrush is painted with a plant-based paint on the stand-up base.

Verdict: This box has a value of about $170! I think that is fantastic for a $40 box! I'm going to miss this subscription! (And I appreciate the in support of theme this month, too.)

So, just to clarify…this deal is for current subscribers only, there are no deals for prospective members? Which I guess doesn’t matter, because I don’t see an option to subscribe anyway:(

I loved the charitable aspect of this box, and was exactly why I purchased the box. I was sad this subscription ended. They have excellent customer service.

I love the bracelet. I actually swapped for another to give to my sister for her birthday. Her husband is a disabled vet and they have two service dogs they take to the VA so I know she will love the charity behind it. It is small but small wrists run in the family so no problem there. I have worn mine almost daily since I got it and have noticed that it gets a little easier to take off and put on as time goes on but I don’t feel like it is stretching out.

This is the only Sugarbash box I’ve purchased, mainly for the bracelet. I just love it. I personally didn’t find it difficult to put on and I don’t consider my wrists small by any means. The pen I unscrewed and couldn’t figure out where the other end was (stuck in the cap), a real “duh” moment for me. The rest is just nice add ons that I appreciate and will use. Look forward to seeing where this box goes in the future.

I was about to sign up for this sub, when they cut off new customers. I’ll have to see what the new cost is. If they are giving current customers 25% off the new pricing, I’m sure it won’t be in my price range,

I was quite surprised how hard the bracelet was to get on. I wore it and it did not leave marks so that is a relief. I don’t have super huge wrists either.
The pen is awesome too.
