Cloud9 Sample Box - May

Cloud 9 Sample Box

Cost: $15 plus $5.95 S/H

From Cloud 9's website: Every month our team of three family members sends a beautifully packaged box filled with a variety of sample products hand selected for its unique, delicious or purely fun qualities. We sample each and every item to make sure it meets our high standards.

 Cloud 9 Sample Box is a new subscription that offer unique items straight to your doorstep. Their motto is "Taking you away from the everyday." Such a cute name and motto for a box.Their first box was introduced April 2013 and looks like it was very well put together with care and thought as to what was put into the box. You can take a peek here. What girl wouldn't love a box every month to pamper themselves. I know I love to experience new and unique items that I wouldn't normally be able to find. I also love that they are a family business! 




I'm super excited that Cloud9 Sample Box was kind enough to send me their May Box for review. I opened the box immediately and was excited about the contents!


Burpee Seeds - Cucumber $2.49

When I was a kid I use to hate cucumbers but lately I have been loving them. They are very refreshing and right now is the perfect time to grow them. I will for sure be putting these to use sometime soon. Just need to hit up home depot for some potting soil. 


Lisa Ann Skincare - Lemon Body Lotion $4.75 

Refreshing, hydrating and ohh so moisturizing without being greasy. That best describes our Lemon Body Lotion. With a touch of lemon essential oil the scent is uplifting without being overpowering! Fair Trade shea butter adds the touch to make our lotion very nourishing.

I'm guessing on the price since I have no clue how many ounces the bottle is. I assumed 2 ounces. And oh by the way OOOO baby this has a strong lemon scent but it is pleasantly refreshing and perfect for summer!

Lisa Ann Skincare - Cloud9 Vegan Lip Balm $5.00

Our Vegan lip balm contains no petrochemicals, parabens, artificial flavors or colors. It is strickly a smooth, candelilla wax and oil based lip balm designed to protect and smooth those luscious lips of yours! Perfect for the whole family (men and chidren too).

Since this lip balm was created especially for Cloud9, I based the price off the other lip balm on her website. I used this baby immediately after opening the box (Have I mentioned that I'm addicted to lip balms and glosses) it went on smooth and the peppermint flavor was a pleasant surprise. I love that it's a Vegan Lip Balm. I try to use natural products as much as possible.



Rodan + Fields Enhancements - Mirco Dermabrasion Paste - $3.11

ENHANCEMENTS Micro-Dermabrasion Paste is a high-glide, oil-free formula designed to promote maximum gentle exfoliation. Use intermittently to enhance cell turnover and improve skin tone and texture.

My skin tends to dry out as soon as the heat hits in this hot Arizona summer. I can not wait to try this out and give my skin some much needed TLC 



Sheila G's Brownie Brittle - Chocolate Chip $5.48

One bite of our famous Chocolate Chip Brownie Brittle and you'll be amazed at how we squeeze a mountain of chocolate goodness into a wafer-thin snack. With only 120 calories per serving!

These did not last long in my house. I ate a few delicious pieces and when I came back down my roommate had polished off the rest of the bag. They remind me of the crispy edges of a brownie. Yum! Will for sure be buying some more.


Runa Tea - Mint Guayusa, Ginger-Citrus Guayusa, Traditional Guayusa, Cinnamon-Lemongrass Guayusa $1.87

Guayusa is a native Amazonian tree leaf that has been brewed like tea for thousands of years by indigenous communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Guayusa is a “Super Leaf” that offers a clear, focused energy by balancing as much caffeine as coffee with twice the antioxidants of green tea.

I feel like I can never have enough tea in my house. Thanks to subscription boxes I never have to buy any. I have never heard of this brand but I am excited to try it out. It's promoted as clean energy and as much caffeine as a cup of coffee and loaded with antioxidants. Lets face it who couldn't use an energy boost during the day.



Value: $22.70
Cost: $15.95 plus 5.95 S/H

Verdict: I'm digging this new subscription box. It has products in it that I have never heard of and I love that. I also love that some of the products are from small businesses. 

What do you think of Cloud9 Sample Box? Will you be Subscribing?
