[REVIEW] Unboxing CubeCrate ; July 2017 Box

Unboxing my July Cubecrate box

Hey guys, i present to you CubeCrate's July 2017 Box and this time around the box seems a little heavy. Hehe. Im a little excited this for July's mystery subscription box because i would like to consider it as my birthday box from CubeCrate since im getting it during my birthday month. Hehe. I cant believe that CubeCrate has really gone a long way from the beginning, but i see them actually going strong with orders still being as active as ever! YAY!

Here's a little sneak peak on whats inside

Now as usual, i would like to spill the details on whats the featured items in this months mystery subscription box! This month surprisingly has a really cue picnic theme box as mentioned in the pamplet and it features 4 brands namely Oishi Green Tea, Tinkerberry Natural Body Treat, Kon'nichiwa and amoura Scarlett. Looks like im ready for a picnic getaway this weekend. Hehe.

OISHI GREEN TEA

Oishi Green Tea anyone?

I dont think i need an introduction to Oishi as they've been very much well known for providing really good green tea especially when you're on the go. I would usually grab a bottle from convenient stores when im craving for one, and i appreciate that CubeCrate included a bottle of Oishi Green Tea in this months box. Since one bottle wont be enough, I'm thankful that CubeCrate actually gave me the idea of what would be the perfect drink to surprise my guest during my picnic soon to plan reunion. hehe.

TINKERBERRY Natural Body Treat

Tinkerberry Shea + Rose Lip Balm

Next would be a little something from Tinkerberry Natural Bath & Body Treats. It has been described to produce dessert inspired range of bath and body products which has been carefully crafted with the finest organic ingredients without any preservatives or chemicals. I believe that in todays era, it is indeed a trend to introduce non harmful products which im all in to support.  TINKERBERRY is a new brand to me, and i managed to check out what other items they have on their site. Psst: Price is really reasonable!

Just look at those bits of rose! I like!

I got myself a Deep Moisture Therapy lip balm that contains shea and rose as the main ingredient. A personal thought on the lip balm is that I have to say that I love the fact that it has raw colors and when applied it not at all feels sticky! #perksofhandmadeproducts. It's actually VERY MOISTURISING without leaving my lips feeling uncomfortable, and truth be told, this is now in my handbag for daily moisturizing. hehe.

RACKUN.KISS

Here's a little something from Rackun Kiss

Yummy cookies which dissapeared within seconds!

I also got myself some sweet treats from Rackun.Kiss. I believe that they bake japanese inspired desserts and im assuming that they are very new in the industry. Their cookies were surprisingly really good and im in hopes to order more for ocassions! I hope CubeCrate would collaborate with them once again for some goodness and i really hope theres a special code for first time orders from Rakun.Kiss. They really have potential. AHHH! I actually feel lucky to have a bag of cookies in being available in my CubeCrate mystery subscription box. hehe.

AMORA SCARLETT

Shades with an Engraved casing with my name on it from Amora Scarlett

Last but not least would be one of the highlighted items found in my July Box from Amora Scarlett! Amoura Scarlett is famous for their array of eyewear collection which ranges from classics to edgy desings to cater to any style preferrences. I managed to scroll through their instagram account, and im already eyeing on another eyepiece from them. LAV! So i warn you, keep your card on standby if youre planning to browse through their online store. hehe

Got myself their Yellow Lens Aviator with Gold Frame worth RM112.90 which comes with a custom leather pouch exclusively by Amora Scarlett! Never really thought this existed anymore as i would consider this design rather rare being it a classic design for aviators. Way to go by bringing back the classics into trend! Im also amazed that it has my name written on their leather pouch! THANK YOU CUBECRATE for making it possible! AHHH! But its also thanks to you, i'd be spending more on shades from Amora Scarlett.

VERDICT

Here's an extra gift from CubeCrate i assume. hehe

And here is what in my July 2017 box 

And thats about it! I personally LOVE July's 2017 mystery subscription box as it features 75% of new brands that i've never heard of, but i have imediate love for once i got a taste of it. This month's box has been really exciting and it has triggered me to plan a picnic with my friends. YAY! Time to start planning and thanks for the idea CubeCrate. I have to say that my favourite item of all in this box would be the Amora Scarlett. Hehe. Cause honey, you can never have enough shades in life. I believe that i also got an Aloe Vera Natural Soothing Gel as a gift from CubeCrate as a bonus item. So tadaa! Thank you CubeCrate and thanks to you for reading my humble unboxing post. Till my next post gais xx

Unboxing CubeCrate ; April 2017 Box

Unboxing my CubeCrate April 2017 box

Its mid-may and just in time, my April 2017 CubeCrate box just arrived in front of my doorstep! There are so many reasons why I love subscribing to CubeCrate. One, the fact that you get super random things every month. Two, getting what you need every month without you realizing that CubeCrate actually did you a favor! hehe. From the looks of it, I think this box features a medical theme box.

Here are some sneak peeks!

From the pamphlet, the featured brands for this box would be Whoosh eyewear, GetDoc+, the ps|love company and Yu Yee Oil. I'm familiar with whoosh eyewear and Yu Yee Oil but the other two I'm actually looking forward to going in-depth to find out what they have and the services they provide. I think on normal days, even when we're sick, truth be told that we never want to admit that we're actually not ok right? So with the April 2017 box, I think its time to step up our game by being aware of how we can take care ourselves.

GetDoc+ (clickable)

GetDoc+, your online appointment system

I've visited GetDoc+ a few times before, and I must say that some of the articles written online are a good read for people like you and me who knows nothing about the diseases and body pains that we get but sadly ignore. With over 2000+ healthcare professionals being online, GetDoc helps to reduce your waiting time by making it easy for you to make appointments with the doctors you prefer. With a few clicks, you get to choose your preferred date and on top of that save time! Psst, did you know that you can GetRewarded for your doctor visits via GetDoc+?

the ps|love company (clickable)

One of my favorite items in the box! RM7.64/pack

Some ways to use it.

Our next featured brand would be the ps|love company. For a second there I thought it has something to do with love, but surprisingly it's actually something for the ladies who are suffering from menstrual cramps. COOLIO! The brand innovated a 100% natural and portable heating patch a.k.a the MenstruHeat, that heats up almost like magic, to provide relief to ladies who fell abdominal pain during that 'special' time of the month. Will be doing a separate blog post on this cause it sounds super exciting to talk about it. Hehe. Will link it below this paragraph once the blog post is out.

Yu Yee Oil

The nostalgic Yu Yee oil.

Dont worry if you dont know how to use this as it comes with instructions

The Yu Yee Oil is usually known as most Asian baby oil, I guess. Hehe. I'm aware of the existence of Yu Yee Oil because I practically grew up with it. But if you haven't heard about it, well, its a herbal medicated ointment with sweet peppermint smell and it's used traditionally to relief winds and bloated problems that are gentle enough for babies as well. Hehe. Honestly speaking, this is one of a must-have when im at home as it does relief a lot of pain especially when you're feeling bloated and uncomfortable.

Whoosh Eyewear (clickable)

Does this give me a valid reason to shop?

And last but not least would be something from Whoosh Eyewear! I dont know about you, but I recently went to their launch in Sunway Pyramid earlier this year and I swear their collections are urban chic! In conjunction with the box being a medical theme, I'm assuming the whoosh eyewear encourages you to take care of your eyesight. In my case, I'm thinking about getting new sunnies from Whoosh Eyewear to prevent harsh UV rays from attacking directly to my eyes. hehe. WOOTS! And since I got myself an RM30 cash voucher, I guess it's time to drop by my nearest Whoosh Eyewear store to get myself a pair of proper sunnies.

Got myself some Pronspan F for emergencies from cubecrate. Thanks!

Just look at all the stock that i'll have at home #lessworries

So there you have it! As a conclusion, I would say that I actually like the idea of getting theme boxes each month from CubeCrate. Despite not being a fan in the field of medical stuff, just getting a box of it really helps me in understanding the importance of taking care of myself. Hehe. Who really knew that a subscription box could teach you a thing or two in life?

FYI each CubeCrate box is priced at RM35. xx

Unboxing CubeCrate; March 2017 Box

Unboxing  Cubecrates March 2017 box

And just to welcome April, my cubecrate for March 2017 is here! I know this may be a delayed post, but I would like to share with you on what I got from the March CubeCrate box. Surprisingly, this time around, they have turned the March box as a sleeping theme box. How exciting! I guess with CubeCrate, it's a hint for me to always get enough sleep despite working so hard. Boohoo.

Here's a little sneak peak on whats inside

So in the March 2017 box, we have 4 featured brands namely Candlenuts by Nadia (One of my favs from cubecrate so far), HowSmooth, J&E Botanicals and The Tea Republic. Now, I noticed that some are repeated featured brands, but since it's a different box, they offered something a little more different compared to getting repeated items. YAY! Now here's a tiny review on what I got.

Candlenuts by Nadia
(Click for more info)

The Special Edition Candlenuts by Nadia

I kindda think it looks pretty <3

First up is Candlenuts by Nadia! After about 2-3 boxes of receiving items from this brand, I must say that I have grown really attached as it has really de-stressed me at home thanks to its therapeutic candles that I would usually light up in my room when I'm feeling stressed. Candlenuts by Nadia are different than your usual candles because they use palm wax, which is better for the environment. I received a special edition candle in a shot-sized cup and I must say it smells amazing! I'm assuming that its special edition because it has unique shapes that pop's up in 3D to make it look fancier, thus it's no doubt to say that I love it.

HowSmooth
(Click for more info)

Packaging on point HowSmooth

This is my favourite item to use before i sleep

Next would be something new as this is my first time hearing about HowSmooth. What is HowSmooth you may wonder? Well, HowSmooth specializes in handmade soaps and body care products. Upon first impression, I'd say that the packaging is rather impressive, the fact that it's sealed. BRAVO HowSmooth! In my box, I received a sleepy rub and it contains coconut oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, essential oil of lavender and frankincense. I managed to give it a try, and just a few rubs of the product around your nose, I have instantly relaxed that it made me felt like sleeping.

Ps: good to use when you have troubles sleeping / bad to use when you need to get work done. Hehe.

J&E Botanicals
(Click for more info)

Body Lotion by J&E Botanics anyone?

Loving its water based texture btw

Next would be something from J&E Botanicals where the brand believes in providing a better lifestyle without toxic and synthetic chemicals. Got myself one of their handmade body lotions which I currently love to use when im indoors. It's cooling and therapeutic to calm the soul and mind. This is safe to be used at any time of the day, and I admit that it works well as a de-stresser too. Once my tub of 20gm finishes, I might be getting more of it from their store perhaps. Hehe.

thetearepublic
(Click for more info)

Tea ball by thetearepublic

Some instructions on how it should be served

And our last featured brand for this post would be from thetearepublic. After my first item I received from thetearepublic, I definitely knew that theterepublic will never disappoint. From the quality of their tea's to the taste of it, it's all maintained to be served to perfection! I still have a pack of tea bags from thetearepublic, and for the March 2017 box, I received tea in form of tea balls! New to you? Well, I'd say that these tea balls are rather rare in Malaysia for people like me to find, so I'm excited to test it out! Did you know that tea balls will bloom like a flower once it's placed in hot water?

OH lookie, a panda sleeping mask which i think is super cute!

And there you have it! 

And when I thought that's over, I also received myself a panda sleeping mask from CubeCrate  Malaysia. How sweet. Teehee. Thank you CubeCrate   So it looks like the March 2017 Box is all about pampering thyself and encouragement to give yourself a break. Just thinking about getting a break, I swear it has been a while since I pampered myself. (Workaholic issues). Thankfully with CubeCrate, I could skip the shopping experience drama. hehe. Till my next post gais xx

Unboxing CubeCrate; February 2017 Box

Unboxing my February 2017 CubeCrate Box

How time flies. It felt like it was just yesterday we were celebrating new years, and now its already Mid-March. Can someone stop time already? I need a moment to appreciate my youth. LOL! Haven't gotten the time to share with you my CubeCrate haul for February, and who appreciates you better than CubeCrate by surprising you with mysterious gifts? Teehee. CubeCrate is one of the most affordable mysterious subscription box in Malaysia, so if you're excited to find out whats in my 'Valentines Edition' CubeCrate box, than lets wait no longer and find out!

A little peek on whats inside

Upon unboxing, I found little bits of cut-out hearts in the box which I assume its because its the month of love. I'm sure it took a lot of effort for the team to individually cut out these heart shapes to be added in each of the individual CubeCrate boxes to be sent off to the subscribers. And as usual, the box includes a little note that shares a brief description of where the items in the box are from. This month's mysterious box features Bathday, Candle Nuts, and Aly's The Bakerland.

*Psst, if you havent noticed, CubeCrate has recently started an offer where you can collect 6 of the pamplets to claim an additional mystery box. How exciting! 

Bathday  | Handmade

Bathday Rose Geranium Whipped Body Butter

First up for review would be an item from Bathday Handmade. Bathday is an online store selling handmade bath and body care products that's based in Malaysia. All products are carefully formulated to ensure an accurate balance of ingredients and are freshly hand made with natural and skin loving ingredients. Just more reasons to love their products! You can also check their facebook page by typing out BathdayHandmade.

The texture is like whipped cream

Despite looking sweet, its not at all sticky upon application

Here i got myself a Rose Geranium Whipped Body Butter which is something very new to me. I've heard of body butter's but never 'whipped' body butter. Im surprised that the whipped body butter had a texture that almost like whipped cream, which made me felt like a birthday cake when i was applying it around my body. Hehe. I was expecting it to be more buttery, but surprisingly it was very light and it didnt leave any traces of grease. I also love the fact that it made me smell like roses too!

Candle Nuts By Nadia

A little something from Candle Nuts

Presenting their latest addition, the aroma beads

Next up would be Candle Nuts by Nadia, which i've previously received some items by them from the previous CubeCrate boxes. I honestly loved their collection of scented palm wax candles, but in this box i received their new product called the Aroma beads. I cant exactly determine what it smells like, but it does smell fragrant. The minute i found out that its aroma beads, i went straight to my closet to hang this up in my closet in hopes that it makes my closet smells nice. Hehe. Check out more of their candles by checking out their instagram at Candle Nuts By Nadia.

Aly's The Bakerland

Cornflake Cranberry Cookie by Alys The Bakerland

A close up shot of the yummy cookies

Alys The Bakerland seems to be a new addition to the CubeCrate family and apparently Alyson (the founder) is a food lover! She believes that there are healthier ways of having snacks thus leading her to create yummy snacks with organic ingredients which are free from preservatives, flavourings and refined sugars. And here we have some of her bestselling cornflake Cranberry Cookie to try out. YUMS! The only regret i have after getting a bite of her cookies would be that i wished i had more of it. I love how its just melts in the mouth and the cornflake bits and cranberry just adds texture to the snack. Find more of her heavenly snacks by checking out Alys The Bakerland on facebook.

A little gift from CubeCrate, a Mediheal Line Friends mask

And since this didnt have a feature in the pamplet, im assuming that this is a little gift from Cube Crate Malaysia! Thank you so much CubeCrate  I'll take it as a sign that you want me to pamper myself with the very popular MediHeal Line Friends Aquaring Ampoule Mask. Its just what i need after a long month of getting myself out and about (and i admit that it was exhausting). Thank you!

Unboxing CubeCrate; January 2017 Box

Unboxing CubeCrate January 2017

And just in time to celebrate New Year, my CubeCrate January Box has made its way to my house just before Chinese New Year. The year started pretty messed up for me, but thankfully that I subscribed to a CubeCrate box to cheer me up each month. To greet the new years, I'm pretty sure CubeCrate has some exciting things featured in this months box, and if you're as curious as i am, lets find out what's inside!

Do you feel the Chinese New Year vibes?!

Brands featured in this months box!

Upon unboxing, i can already sense the Chinese New Year spirit! What's there not to love? Being in malaysia, I absolutely love the culture that we have here, and to be a part of such a massive celebration really means a lot to me. Thank you CubeCrate or giving me a feel of the Chinese New Year spirit! Hehe. So from the list of brands featured in this month's box would be from J&E Botanicals, Potsie Pottie, The Tea Republic and Feather Gifts Shop.

Sugar Scrub in Candy Cane *My item of the month!

Sugary scrub goodness! 

First up would be something from J&E Botanicals, where i got myself a candy cane sugar scrub! Just in time to scrub away my dead skin from my body. Teehee. Got to try this out and it smells just heavenly. I sensed a very strong scent of peppermint and i really can't wait to scrub myself with this candy cane sugar scrub. Extra points for its lovely glass packaging, it would look like a decorative item when put it on my bathroom shelves.

Earring from Potsie Pottie

How cure are these earrings?!

Next thing i got would be an earring from Potsie Pottie. I remember getting a few earrings from Potsie Pottie months back, and surprisingly i still have it with me still in perfect condition. Looks like I'll be adding another item to the collection that i have from Potsie Pottie. Being a versatile pair of earrings, i absolutely can't wait to see what kind of look i can create with these earrings. YAS

Some Tea from the Tea Republic anyone?

Looks so good! A sucker for tea's like these.

The aroma really relaxes me.

And guess whats next in the list? I got myself a tea sample by The Tea Republic. This actually gave me a nostalgic memory of my last visit in China where tea is really an important tradition in the chinese culture as back in the olden times if im not mistaken, it resembles wealth. So without hesitating, I decided to boil hot water and instantly try the tea out! The tea flavor that I received was actually a blend of lemongrass and ginger (Way too obvious), and despite not being a fan of ginger in my tea, this tea somehow tasted pleasant. Since I liked it, I decided to head over to The Tea Republic's website just to be amazed at the variety they had. So better check it out and see if any of their collection got you craving for tea. hehe

A decorative item and a magnet from feather gifts shop. 

Its now on my fridge! 

Last but not least would be something from the Feather Gifts Shop. The Feather Gifts Shop mainly sells Chinese cultural and educational related gift, but in this months CubeCrate box, i got myself a decorative item in a shape of a money bag, and a fridge magnet that resembles so much of antiquity. I'm hoping that the money bag i received is actually a symbolic gift that I'll have a wealthy year this year. Hehe.

Whats in my January 2017 CubeCrate box
