Price: RM35
(Given a free in exchange for an honest review by cubecrate.com)
Verdict: 9/10
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. ^^
Disclaimer: I received this box in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own, as usual. ^^ You can also check out:
March's Box
This month's Cubecrate box arrived just in time for Earth Hour, which means the candle was put to good use! ^^ The giant panda eyes staring at me the moment I opened the box was a nice surprise. The theme for the month, if you can't tell already, is Sleeping! XD I like it. Everything in the box is calming.
Tea Tea Republic: Blooming Tea
The highlight of this month's box is definitely the Blooming Tea by The Tea Republic. I've never had blooming tea before so I'm definitely looking forward to this one! At first I thought these were mushrooms and I was confused why they would include mushroom of all things. XD This combination of white tea and green tea can help increase metabolism. White tea is supposedly an antioxidant while green tea is known to help in calming as well as being delicious. ^^
J & E Botanicals: Body Lotion
Another thing I really enjoyed is the J&EBotanicals body lotion. This is made from water, cold pressed kernel oil, sodium acrylate, hydrogenated polydecene, and essential oils which smells a bit like mint. The minimal ingredients means it's unlikely to break people out.
I really like the glass jar they used for this. It makes it look super luxurious. There's 20g of product and the lotion is gel-like and when applied, it leaves a cooling sensation that reminds me a bit of aloe vera gel. ^^ It absorbs surprisingly well and leaves faint hint of mint.
You can find them on Facebook or Instagram.
How Smooth: Rest & Relax Body Oil
A new brand that #cubecrate is introducing this month is How Smooth, which provides natural and organic handcrafted soap, bath, and bodycare. green bottle houses a Rest & Relax Body oil, which is made from an assortment of oil. It smells nice and absorbs fairly well too. ^^ It does leave kind of an oily film though, but it's minty and is ridiculously calming. I applied this after having a shower and wanted to go to sleep immediately. Lol.
You can find them on their Official HowSmooth Website or Instagram.
Candle Nuts By Nadia: Green Tea Candle
Last but not least is the candle is by Candle Nuts by Nadia, though I can't quite figure out what fragrance this is supposed to be even after setting it alight. Candle Nut's IG account kindly informed me it's Green Tea though. ^^ Thank you!
Overall Impression
Overall, I really enjoyed this box and give it a 9/10. ❤️ I really enjoyed the theme of the mask and am finding good use of all the products. I'm docking 1 point because there's been a lot of repeats in the box as far as brands goes. As much as I love the brands, I'd love it if there were new local brands, especially since there's so many of them in Malaysia. :) I understand that it's hard to source and find new brands every month though. I just wish there local brands more generous with their portions. :P
For the unitiated, Cubecrate also carter to custom favors, birthday boxes, wedding favors, and events!
