Price: RM35
(Given a free in exchange for an honest review by cubecrate.com)
Verdict: 7/10
Cubecrate is a surprise subscription box that costs RM35 per month and includes a variety of locally sourced products ranging from beauty to decor and handmade items that you wouldn't think to try out on your own. For three months, the subscription is RM90. They also have a wine subscription if you're into fine wine. ^^
February's Box
February's Cubcrate Subscription box is Valentine's themed. It arrived actually sometime early March but it's taken me awhile to get the review done since I wanted to have some time to write about the items individually. ^^
Bathday: Rose Geranium Whipped Body Lotion
Bathday is a local online store selling handmade bath and body care products. All items produced are free from paraben, sls and fragrance (for now).
This small tube of Rose Geranium Whipped Body Butter is lasting me a surprising amount of time, considering it's only 10g. I fully expected this to be finished in an instant. I've actually been using this nightly for a few weeks now and am only about 3/4 of the way done.This whipped body butter has a light and airy texture that spreads wonderfully instead of being too creamy and thick. The texture reminds me of whipped cream, which is pretty nice. ^^ It is enhanced with Vit E and can be applied on the body as well as nails. ^^ I do feel like it leaves behind an oily film, but that's absorbed fairly quickly.
It's unfragrance and the smell puts me off somewhat. Bathday was kind enough to respond to that complaint (sorry!). They explained that they use natural essential oil instead of artificial fragrance since that has the advantage of adding skin benefits. I do understand why fragrance isn't added though, since some people may be sensitive to fragrance. Personally, I like a little fragrance in my product. They do plan to launch more and might produce a range with stronger scents so I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on them.
Because of my disdain towards the scent, I've been using this as a foot cream along with my giant tube of Vaseline. The consistency of vaseline is too thick and this is just creamy enough to help spread that somewhat. I suffer from pretty bad cracked toes/soles (think bloody and cracked soles eww), and this has been keeping that at bay, which I really appreciate. :) Overall, I'm really surprisingly pleased by this cream! My only complaint is the scent, but everything else about it is fairly perfect!
You can find them on Facebook here or on Instagram.
Candle Nuts By Nadia: Aroma Beads
The pink pouch is from Candle Nuts by Nadia. It contains rosy lemonade scented aroma beads, which is a new product they're carrying. The scent from the pouch is fairly mild and but really pleasant. It made the entire box smell like roses. It smells really good and I've since given this away to a brand new friend in a box I packed for her. ^^
Alys The Bakerland: Cornflake Cranberry Cookies
This bag of Alys The Bakerland bestselling cornflake cranberry cookie is just delicious and disappeared within moments of reaching me. Lol. No regrets. The cookie is made with organic ingredients and are free from preservatives, flavourings and refines sugars. I really wished there were more though, since five pieces was not nearly enough. There was also a severe lack of cranberries. >< I had one piece in the five cookies. But it's delicious shit.
Mediheal: N.M.F Aquaringer Ampoule Face Mask
My favorite and most surprising addition in the box is the Mediheal Line Friends N.M.F. Aquaringer Ampoule Face Mask. I've been curious about these slightly overpriced (RM13.90 in watsons) masks and am ecstatic that I get to try it. I haven't gotten around to trying this yet cause it's so precious, but I promise I'll get to it eventually. ><
Overall, I really enjoyed this box and give it a 7/10. I'm a bit disappointed by how little there is in the box, but the past few months' boxes have been filled with goodies and the quality of the product in the box is pretty satisfactory. :)
