Au Sugar Sugar “Oh Baby!” July 2020 Review
This box comes with information on the box lid that gives you more details about the brand.
It also comes with an info sheet detailing the products included this month.
This month's theme is "Oh Baby!," inspired by the newborn son of AU Sugar Sugar founder Haley Szymouski.

Milk Drunk Bath Frosting - Listed Value $14
Okay, this smells just like baby powder with hints of coconut milk, which are literally the only two scent notes. I can’t say that baby powder is a scent I usually reach for in body products, but I kinda love it here in this soap. For those who are new to reading my AU Sugar Sugar reviews, bath frostings are a whipped soap with scattered sugar granules to gently exfoliate and cleanse your skin without leaving it stripped of moisture. They’re my favorite soap and I have been using them consistently in one scent or another for over a year.
The Hendrix Soy Candle - Listed Value $14
I am all about the candles- I can't walk by a Bath & Body Works without picking one up, even though I have a literal mountain of candles at home. This one has a lovely earthy scent thanks to the notes of oakmoss and amber, and it has enough throw to fill my bedroom when I have it lit.

Go The F To Sleep Dusting Powder - Listed Value $16
Dusting powders aren't a product in my arsenal that I currently use, but I was willing to give it a shot. While I really enjoyed the scent (it has notes of lavender, chamomile, and vanilla musk), it wasn't packaged securely so some of the powder kinda got everywhere. I had to use some elbow grease to get the lid as secure as possible, and even then it isn't a perfect fit. That technical aspect aside, I did enjoy the way it felt on my skin when I was fresh out of a bath and getting ready for bed, so in the end, all was not lost.

Softer Than A Baby’s Bottom Face Mask - Listed Value $16.50
I have a bad habit of using implicit bias when trying face masks from indie brands rather than well-known skincare brands- I find myself judging them more harshly than I do most commercial brands. That is something I am working on, and that aside, this mask blew me out of the water. It is a clay-based mask that has a creamy texture, and the only fragrance is the lavender essential oil that is very last on the ingredients list. I wore this for the listed 15 minutes, and when I washed it away my skin had absolutely zero redness or irritation, and my skin felt much softer and more smooth. I would easily pay double the listed price for a mask with this same formula from Sephora or Ulta, so I really applaud AU Sugar Sugar on this one.
The Verdict: The baby theme this month was pretty unique (baby powder-scented soap?) but I actually really enjoyed it. That mask is a definitive favorite, but all of these products are winners for me. I've had baby on the brain all month since my boss actually gave birth at the beginning of July, so this box was especially on point for me. By the listed values, this box adds up to $60.50, which is about $15 more than 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.
