Verdict: 10/10
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, personalized boxes for a loved one, or an entire team of people, and many other options. ^^

July's Box
The theme for July's Cubecrate box is Picnic! This was such a weighty box that I was quite surprised when the postman handed it to me. Upon opening the box, I found not one, but two culprits! The Aloe Vera and Oishi tea are both quite heavy!
RackunKiss makes another appearance in the box, but they're such delightful cookies that I didn't mind at all. Anyways, here's the breakdown of everything in the box!
Amora Scarlett Sunglasses
I want to start with the star of the box! This fancy sunglasses were such a surprise, especially since I have been looking to get sunglasses for my drives out in the sun since forever but couldn't find one that I enjoyed. These were delightful!
The sunglasses are kept in a luxurious leather pouch that is embossed with my name on it! It was such a surprise and really does go to show that Cubecrate personalize these boxes. If I understand correctly, these glasses were only available for those who subscribed for 3 or 6 months to cubecrate, which is very understandable since these retail for more than RM100 on the site!
Amora Scarlett is a global brand that brings in new categories of eyewear styles in affordable prices and provides eyewear pouch engraving. There's 6 month warranty with each pair and delivery on orders are made within 24 hours.
The brand will be debuting their sporty glam RTW catering to both men and women at their official launch in September 2017.
Next is the other food in the box! The assorted chocolate chip cookies from Rackun Kiss tastes like cookies from famous amos, which I absolutely adore. This is the third time the cookies have been included, but I didn't mind in the least, since it's delicious cookies.
The cookies are made from butter, brown sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, eggs, vanilla essence, chocolate chips, coco powder, and walnut.

Oishi Tea: Honey Lemon
What's a picnic without honey lemon tea? ^^ I've actually tried this particular flavor of Oishi Tea back in erm... 2016's December box! That was an incredible box as well, with a nice Christmas theme that gave me a 2017 calender from Moodooles that I'm still using! ^^
Oishi Green Tea is brewed with 100% organic tea leaves, grown on certified organic plantations. Using only natural ingredients, Oishi preserves the authentic Japanese feel and flavor while maintaining the key benefits of green tea.
Tinkerberry is a Dessert-inspired range of bath and body products. Each product is carefully crafted with the finest organic ingredients and hand-made in small batches. I've tried their chocolate face scrub back in May's box, but this is something else altogether.
The balm is chocolate flavored and is actually fairly sweet. XD It's quite moisturizing so I'm looking forward to using this to cover up the more drying lipsticks that I own.
Last but not least is a huge tube of Aloe Vera gel. I have stockpiles of these that I use on my body, since the weather here is really hot and humid, so having light moisturizers that are cooling is the best thing ever. ^^ These do seem to be brandless (even though the inner cover suspiciously says Nature Republic), but I've seen lots of brands come up with these aloe vera gels.
The scent of alcohol on this is quite high though, so I've been using this on my legs since my skin there is less fussy and can take harsher alcohols/creams/ect. :)
Overall Impression
If you can't tell already, I'm really pleased with this box overall! The these of picnic is really nice, especially since the weather has gone to hot and humid, to scorching, suffocating heat. Everything is put to good use and I'm particularly impressed by the fact that the sunglasses were personalized with my name engraved on it! Makes me feel super loved. ^^ This is probably the best box I've gotten from Cubecrate, though the New Year Box from January is a close contender.
For the unitiated, Cubecrate also carter to custom favors, birthday boxes, wedding favors, and events!
