Brad's KBeauty Box "My Cute Box" Unboxing & Review


Hi everyone!

Have you heard of Brad's K Beauty box? It's one of the latest to hit the Australian market, alongside K beauty by K. Both of them are awesome awesome people and super friendly!

But I digress. Today I'm unboxing "Brad's My Cute Box"! This is the first official box that has been received in the general public!

This box was $30 + $10 for shipping. With a 10% off discount coupon code (that was available in a promotional time period upon release), I paid $37. (I'm going to have a discount code of my own for you guys at the end of this post! Stick around for that!)

Without further ado, let's get into the items!



The contents~
1. Tonymoly Fruit Princess Gloss in Peach (7USD on KoreaDepart)
2. Tonymoly Latte Art Cacao Pore Pack (11USD on KoreaDepart)
3. Etude House Wonder Pore Mixing Bowl  (4USD on EtudeHouse)
4. Etude House Help My Finger Pink Nail Ampoule  (2.50USD on EtudeHouse)
5. Tonymoly I'm Real Mask Sheet in Tea Tree ($1 on KoreaDepart (5 for <5USD)
6. Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch ($2 on KoreaDepart (5 for 9USD)
7. Tonymoly Red Cheeks Girl's Patch ($2 on KoreaDepart (5 for 9USD)

+ Samples;
♥ The Face Shop Mango Seed Heart Volume Heart Butter
♥ The Face Shop Herb Day Cleansing Foam
♥ Face It BB Cream Power Perfection SPF37/ PA ++


Let's discuss the box!

Value ♥ 3/5
Unfortunately that comes about to $37 of value if you round up with exchange rates and such. $28.50USD becomes almost $37AUD exactly says a quick google search, Paypal exchange rates are more expensive though, and thus using those that 28.50USD might have cost more in AUD to buy.
You must also keep in mind these prices exclude shipping from KoreaDepart. So with $37, you can't actually afford to buy and get shipped to Australia every single item in the box.
Regardless, on paper, you are paying $37 and receiving back literally $37 in things shipped free to your door. =) Again, excluding shipping and time for research etc. Not necessarily a good or bad thing, just saying it like it is.

Theme ♥ 5/5
Everything is definitely cute! I'd have to comment that the gloss is the cutest thing there. The only thing I'd say that isn't "cute" there is maybe the bowl, but even then the colour is cute, it's small, and it's a bowl specifically for mixing products we don't even have. ie. probably useless = cute. I was discussing this with my friends this day - cute things are either small or useless once you think about it. :P Just kidding guys, I know I'll use the bowl and the material is kind of nifty and unique. The website describes it as "rubbery" and thus perfect for modelling packs. Hmm!


Curation ♥ 4/5
Slightly different to theme - this box's curation is pretty decent. Most things in there are fairly useable for everyone - lip gloss is definitely appealing and a makeup staple, even for those who don't use too much makeup. There's skincare and even nail care. The masks are different sorts for different areas!
The only thing keeping the curation from being a 5/5 is that everything is from two brands - Etude House and Tonymoly. And even though those two brands are two very well-loved brands (heck they're my two favourite Korean brands, I'm just going to come out and say it) - these boxes should be about trying new things, and although the nail ampoule is new to me, I'd like to be discovering new brands too. I know that to kbeauty newbies these of course will be new, but I know some veterans who will want to be buying these boxes too!
This might just be too close to a "My Cute TonyMoly Box" rather than just a "My Cute Box".

Presentation ♥ 4/5

Look at the cute bag everything came in!



Even a tag with a handwritten note - aww! I didn't notice that while I was unboxing in my video, oops. Everything was neatly inside, and there were even some official looking K Beauty by Brad stickers sealing the bag and the package on the outside. Really nicely done!
An information card and an actual BOX is coming soon too for future boxes so nothing more to say on presentation :D But when these things come, I'm sure I'll give the whole box a 5/51

Overall ♥ 4/5
Definitely a box I would recommend for kbeauty lovers and especially people new to the kbeauty world! I know a lot of my friends would definitely be impressed with EVERYTHING in this box.
I think I got some great items I'll definitely use. I can't wait to see my friends react to this little gloss, and Snapchat my friends with those masks on (even though I always Snapchat them really crazy masks... Who knows, maybe one of these will surprise them, haha!)
The coffee latte art is just LOVE and I can't wait to try it. The box hits all the nails and it's only just come out from a very new company! It's crazy and it's only going to get better and more amazing. ^^ I know soon it will be hitting that 5/5 =DD
