FYI: The brand recently changed its name from Ahhh Sugar Sugar to AU Sugar Sugar. Moving forward, they'll be focusing on hiring those who are on the autism spectrum and have updated their name to reflect this initiative.

Au Sugar Sugar “You're Invited To Our Tea Party” April 2020 Review
This box comes with a sheet that gives you more details about the brand.
It also comes with an info sheet detailing the products included this month.
Hand Sewn Fabric Face Mask - Listed Value $6
Hello, new best friend! This arrived when wearing masks was becoming more of a requirement, but weren’t an item I had handy. I love the different colors of the blue fabric, and this was comfortable to wear. The folds also stretch a bit, so it covered both my mouth and nose with room to spare.
The Southern Palmer Spritz, 2 oz - Listed Value $6.75
I normally love the scents created by Au Sugar Sugar, but I didn’t jive with this one. It has notes of sweet southern iced tea and freshly squeezed lemonade, but when I used it as a spray on my linens, it left a bit of a bitter scent on my nose.
Dapper Little Bunny Soy Wax Clamshell - Listed Value $3.75
These wax cubes, on the other hand, smell amazing. With notes of white tea, plumeria, and ginger, this really refreshes the space where it’s melted. Since I don’t have a wax melter, I thought I would share how I still enjoy wax melts like these.
I place the wax cubes inside of a heatproof dish (in this case, my mini Le Creuset ramekin) and place that dish in a pan with a few inches of water. I turn the heat on my stove to low, and in a little while the heat from the water has melted the wax! With this method, you have to take care and make sure to not let all the water evaporate, but it’s better than not being able to use these bad boys at all because of a lack of equipment.
Front Porch Swing Sugar Scrub - Listed Value $12
I prefer the bath frostings to sugar scrubs from this brand, but this product won’t go to waste. The scent is a blend of Earl Grey tea, juicy Georgia peaches, lemonade, and elderflower, and it’s a really refreshing, light scent. This scrub is on the dry side so I only use it about once a week, but it definitely leaves my skin feeling smooth- and I really appreciate the pretty colors peaking through the packaging.
Tub Tea Bath Soak - Listed Value $8
Anything that’s designed for me to use in the bathtub is exactly what I want to receive in a subscription box. This bath tea is made with oats, sea salt, lavender essential oil, dried jasmine, blue cornflower, and hibiscus petals. The resulting scent was very light, but when combined with oats and sea salt made for a comforting bath.
High Tea Rinse-Free Hand Wash, 2 oz - Listed Value $6
This hand wash has a scent blend of black tea, lemon, maple, and vanilla, and unlike most products of this nature it doesn’t smell overpowering with the scent of the alcohol. I don’t believe this has the high alcohol content to be properly labeled as a “hand sanitizer” (according to the brand's Facebook page the alcohol content is 62%- as always, refer to the CDC for any questions about hand sanitizer and the strengths needed), but I definitely classify this as “better than nothing” when the need arises and I am nowhere near a sink.
The Verdict: This box had a great mix of good smells and practical items, and overall I’m happy with the box contents even though I didn’t love the spritz. By the listed values, this box adds up to $42.50, which is about even with the cost of the box plus shipping. If you sign up hoping for an amazing deal, you probably won’t be happy, but if you’re looking for well-curated bath and body products in unique scents, with creative packaging, and a great mission, I think this is worth checking out.
