Verdict: 4/10
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. ^^
Disclaimer: I received this box in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own, as usual. ^^ You can also check out:

September's Box
Cubecrate's October box was very aptly Halloween-themed. ^^ I actually scared myself a little opening the box at first, since they've decorated the box with spiders. lol. I actually closed the box again when I first opened it cause I thought actual spiders got in.
Oishi Tea: Black Tea
The Oishi black tea contributes to the black and orange theme nicely and #oishi is never too sweet so I can enjoy it without worrying about my calories intake. XD
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.
The orange candle is from Candle Nuts By Nadia, which smells really good. Cubecrate informed us that the candle is meant to be loose in case we'd like to remove it to use it as decorations elsewhere (or have a nice and spooky case for it). This smells pretty amazing and I've been slowly using it up the past few days.
Savee Mask
An unexpectedly addition here is the Savee Malaysia face mask. These are locally made masks that, according to my West Malaysian friends, are found easily in markets. I've never seen them in stores here, but online prices start from RM1, which is fairly cheap. I'm actually quite excited to try these out and see how well they do! The ingredients list looks decent enough, and the charcoal mask is meant for detoxifying sensitive skin.
Savee Mask: Website
Cubecrate has also included a few pieces of Halloween tissues that are pretty fun. They suggest using it for treat tables. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with these. They feel too pretty to be used up as tissues and too flimsy as decorative pieces. XD
Anyways, this month's box has a nice combination of fun items and brands, though a little lackluster in terms of price. especially given that the oishi tea is only RM2 in supermarkets, the savee masks are RM1+, and the prices for the candle and the tissue papers aren't exactly substantial. But, it sort of makes up for it in the 'surprise' halloween factor, especially since the spider got a good scare out of me. Hopefully, next month's box will make up for this month's performance, I suppose. :)
For the unitiated, Cubecrate also carter to custom favors, birthday boxes, wedding favors, and events!
