♡ TokyoTreat: Seven Month Review ♡

みなさん、こんにちは!

So, after unsubscribing to a previous subscription box - which I loved at first, but then it turned to disdain after a while - I had my attention brought to Tokyo Treat. Annnnnd a quick note, I was originally going to do this at the six month period, but I completely forgot a month - basically, I forgot that I started this subscription in March, and thought that I had started it in April! What a tit I am...

So basically, Tokyo Treat comes across like ALLLLLLLL the other snack subscription boxes on the market these days, but to be truthful, it's better. Not only were the themes better - March was spring themed, April was the first anniversary edition, May was based on holiday treats, June was bizarre snacks/candy, July was anime characters, August was tropical fruits and September's is Mirai Suenaga x Tokyo Treat vs. Pokemon characters! So besides the interesting themes, the boxes are (literally - premium boxes get 13-17 treats, a drink and a DIY kit guarantee) rammed with goodies, you honestly get so many - with added extras! As well as the themes being interesting, they are also stuck to meticulously, so you're getting what it says on the box. No funny business whatsoever.

Before I forget - you can choose between three sizes (small, regular and premium) and get free shipping worldwide aaannnddd I believe (that this is still valid) that if you use the code: FOREVER5 you get $5 off your subscription service, for as long as you're subscribed until?! How awesome is that?!
Seriously though. This subscription service has helped me decide what treats I am bringing back from my trip to Tokyo, at the end of the year. I know some of the treats won't be in season by them *heart breaks* bbbuuuttt other pieces, hopefully, will still be around? Lets hope so... for my sake *heavy breathing intensifies*

♡ Candysan Haul // Unboxing ♡

みなさん、こんにちは!

I have, certainly, done my fair share of searching around on the internet to find the best deals on Japanese snacks - ebay, Oyatsu Cafe etc - but to put it perfectly frank... none of them have ever really compared to Candysan.

Originally, I was introduced to most of these particular snacks via my gorgeous penpal and the reason why she chose these particular snacks for me is because they were easy to get a hold of online - which is lovely of her because, in reality, I hate pestering people for things >///< A few others are complete first time tries from seeing other bloggers write about them and as I wanted to try them myself, I finally gave in and purchased them! So, without further ado, lets get on with the unboxing!

Selection of Umaibo

L-R; Shrimp & Mayo, Tonkatsu Sauce, Teriyaki Burger, Takoyaki, Yakitori & Pizza flavour

Takoyaki Tei, BBQ Cheetos and Triple Cheese Scones

Calpis Flavoured Marshmallows

Selection of Cookies & Cake

L-R; Country Ma'am Black Chocolate Cookies, Oreo Mont Blanc Soft Cookies & Koi Matcha Cake

Country Ma'am White Chocolate Sweets

Selection of Puccho & Memtos

Memtos; grape and soda assortment. Puccho; Disney, Vitamin Gold, Sweetie, White Grape & Cola

To date, this is my biggest snack/candy haul and oh my days so much! I never realised how much I actually purchased until I got to the checkout counter but even then I didn't realise how bad it would have been until I laid them all out at once... oops!

Don't worry though. I'm definitely not going to gorge my way through all these goodies! I'm going to (extremely slowly) munch through something every couple of weeks, some will be reviewed but others... eh it depends?

Thanks for reading!

♡ MEMEbox My Cute Wishlist #4 // Unboxing ♡

みなさん、こんにちは!

I rrreeeaaallllllyyy want to apologise from the bottom of my heart about how late this post is... literally three months late as that is when I actually received this box in the post D'OH. There will be a slight snail mail push out of blog posts over the coming months so pretty please (with a cherry on top) bear with me! 

Now, I have heard some pretty mixed feelings about past Memebox Cute Wishlists and I have to say, I was slightly apprehensive about purchasing but you just never know until you go for it right? Luckily I feel that I may have made a right decision in getting this particular box... even after a few months the jury is still out on this one!

#1 TonyMoly Apple Red Tox Honey Cream

Product description; made from vitamin-rich red apple and deeply nourishing honey, Tonymoly’s famous Red Appletox Honey Cream is a daily facial cream with a unique honey-like texture. The bouncy, hydrating gel cream stretches when patted on, giving the skin a massage effect as well as a silky finish

First impressions; yyyeeesss! This is a product that has been on my "to purchase" list for-like-ever and I finally have my hands on one! I do love this product, it helps with my combination skin so much that it's one of the best facial creams I have used to date. 

#2 Etude House Sweet Recipe Candy Stick

Product description; enriched with bilberry, sugar cane, sugar maple, orange and lemon extracts, the Sweet Recipe Candy Stick is a gloss type lip tint that moisturises and plumps up your dry, chapped lips for a long-lasting radiance.

First impressions; it doesn't surprise me that there is something Etude House in this box as this particular brand is the ambassador of cute things... I'm quite happy to receive the orange version as I'll just use this as a typical lip balm to combat my dry lips. 

#3 Yadah Vita-Whitening Aqua Gel + Puregreen Moisturizing Cream

Product description; the most perfect pair of facial creams to pop into your pouch for travelling. The Vita-Whitening Aqua Gel is made from vitamin-rich rosehip extracts for softening and firming, niacinamide for brightening, and cactus extracts for moisture boost. The Puregreen Moisturizing Cream, on the other hand, is enriched with royal jelly extracts, cactus extracts, bean oil complex, sea buckhom berries, and birch tree sap for delivering rich moisture surge deep down into the skin.

First impressions; how much for a travel sized product?! Slight heart attack-like feelings happened at the sight of the pricing in all honesty... and the creepy pictures on the packaging doesn't exactly scream "cute"... miss, miss, super miss!

#4 ddung Liquid Eye Liner

Product description; a liquid eyeliner with a formula that offers a remarkably defined, feminine eyes with a long-lasting, waterproof and non-smudging wear.

First impressions; errr... how is this doll thing cute exactly? The liner seems quite usable and easy to apply so this would be a good back-up in case I run out of my favourite liquid eyeliner at any given time.

#5 Holika Holika Pig-nose Clear Black Head Steam Starter

Product description; this gel type starter helps to open your pores while reduces dirt from the pore. Its pink clay ingredients helps absorb excess sebum and soften stubborn blackheads.

First impressions; YYYAAASSS! This particular line from Holika Holika is another thing I've had on my list for absolutely ages! I haven't used this one yet as I'm going to get the sugar scrub one as well... and maybe all the others from this particular line also!

#6 Pure Smile Choosy Lip Pack Milk

Product description; pamper your chapped lips with Pure Smile’s Choosy Lip Pack abundant in milk protein extracts for strengthening the moisture level and reviving the juicy glow of your lips. This easy-to-apply lip patch will help maintain healthy, silky smooth lips!

First impressions; interesting... I looked up about Pure Smile and I never knew that the brand is made in Korea yet it is Japanese... so technically it does count as a Korean product? I have used this lip mask and it, honestly, the weirdest thing I have ever used.

#7 Pure Smile Snail Hand Cream Milk

Product description; this moisturizing hand cream is literally packed with nourishing natural ingredients such as snail mucus extracts, milk protein extracts, grape seed oil, olive oil, macadamia seed oil, shea butter, green tea extracts, aloe vera leaf extracts, and even collagen extracts! Plus, it has a very nice nutty, milky fragrance.

First impressions; another Pure Smile item, this time a hand cream (which is something I have desperately needed for the winter) so I am pretty chuffed with getting this in the box. 

#8 Tonymoly Egg Pore Nose Pack

Product description; this blackhead removing Egg Pore Nose Pack is made from charcoal and egg complex which effectively treats enlarged pores and excessive blackheads and whiteheads, smoothing out uneven skin texture to resemble the rounded smooth surface of an egg.

First impressions; the smell is overpowering on this, I could smell the product without even taking it out of the box. Blurgh. But I have heard good impressions about this particular item and hopefully it should work on the blackheads on my nose (constant bane of my life)

At the end of the day... this box is certainly not cute. The items sure are useful and are at the lower budget end of pricing - for a payment of $23.99 + $6.99 for shipping the whole box of products comes to a total of $69 which seems like you don't really get your moneys worth but... if you need to purchase things on a budget then it is certainly helpful. Cute though? No... not at all. Part of me is disappointed with this box because I was expecting a little bit more and I know that there are cute budget items on the market but another part of me isn't as disappointed as I got items that I have been meaning to get for ages, so it was partially a win but partially a lose at the end of the day.

Thanks for reading!

♡ MEMEbox Princess Edition #6 Cinderella // Unboxing ♡

みなさん、こんにちは!

The second of my three day MEMEbox un-boxings is the Princess Edition #6 Cinderella! I was going to get all three boxes released (Tinkerbell was the other one) but I decided against it at the last minute for a reason I honestly cannot remember for... aish my memory ;n;

My favourite thing about this particular box is that that it's a face / hair focus box... I'm not really a body cream / lotion / wash enthusiast as I know what my body is able to have and I just stick with it - Radox bubble bath, Original Source Lemon and Tea Tree Shower Gel, Garnier body lotion... end of. So, to have a box with make-up in makes me a very happy person!

#1 ECLAIRE Color-Blast Lip Cream in #06 Santorini

Product description; sophisticated and vivid in colour, completely waterproof and long-lasting, and leaving a silky matte finish, the Color-Blast Lip Cream is a must-have for lovers of all lip products! Its vegetable oil based formula is gentle and moisturising, and it prevents dehydraion of your lips by creating a moisture lock-in layer. Plus, it's free of paraben, benzophenone, alcohol, mineral oil and phenoxyethanol. 

First impression; I would have preferred the red colour than the pink......... but it seems like a nice pink colour all in all. It's interesting to see that this is made with vegetable oil and have no parabens or benzophenone or alcohol in it like a couple of other products from the previous box... recurring theme happening? 

#2 Color World Setting Powder in Orange

Product description; An extremely lightweight, sheer setting powder which is silky and fine in texture and leaves skin with a flawless finish. Smooth away fine lines and imperfections as it sets your makeup in place for the whole day. Add a velvety finish to any makeup or for that extra colour and coverage when applied alone.

First impressions; oooooh setting powder! I've heard of setting sprays and certain setting powders like MAC and Kryolan so this should be interesting for me to use as I go through powder like you'd never believe....... bye bye shine! Also... I was a little bit unsure about the orange colour at first but it turns out that it's more like a translucent powder and changes to appeal to your skin colour and tone... double boom!

#3 ECLAIRE Color-Blast Blusher #Santorini Coral

Product description; a soft and sheer coral, pressed powder blush. Designed to be worn alone or layered together for more depth, it'll bring out the healthy, peachy glow from any skin tone.
First impressions; there's a lot of ECLAIRE products in this parcel but I like the theme... and I love peachy / coral blushers to create that "healthy" glow... I prefer it any day to the OTT pinks or reds even though that style is starting to grow on me these days. It will be intriguing to see if this is a colour build up type of blusher or a "oops too much in one go" kind of blusher.

#4 Tonymoly BCDation All Master SPF30

Product description; this multi-functional BCDation from Tonymoly is a makeup base, a BB cream, a CC cream, and a foundation all in one. It not only correct, blur, and balance out the skin tone but also moisturises, lifts, and adds extra volume for a silky smooth 3D complexion.
First impressions; I am honestly glad that this is the only product that wasn't full sized as I have purchased BB creams in the beginning (of my cosmetic downfall) and have been bitten badly by the wrong shade so I'm happy with the fact that I can test this out, check it against my tone and complexion etc and see if this actually WORKS before I go and get a full sized product!

#5 Anis Double Act Curling Essence

Product description; enriched with grape seed oil and various natural moisturisers, this Double Act Curling Essence not only delivers moisture surge, nourishments, and firmness to hair but also works as a hair styler for the strengthening your curls and holding them in place all day long.
First impressions; oh a hair product... I don't normally go to hair products in an instance unless they are shoved right under my face and as this is here I will try this one. I also never curl my hair... always straighten as my natural hair is some weird frizzy... lion mane... fuzzball

#6 Macqueen Concealer Dual Veil 

Product description; this dual concealer consists of a cover stick on one end for erasing red spots and blemish scars and a liquid concealer on the other end for evening out unbalanced skin tones or highlighting T-zone and under eye area.
First impressions; awesome! I won't really use the liquid concealer as a brightener though as I tend to use liquid concealer more than stick concealer but I'll be using this one that is for sure. Kind of bummed that I got the darker #23 shade of this though and not the lighter #21 shade but hey, you win some and you lose some.

#7 LadyKin At The Party Long & Perm Mascara 

Product description; a smart dual brush mascara with two different types of brush attached for 24 hour long, voluminous lashes. The round ball-like brush works as a 2nd step volumizer which allows you to create varieties of look by adding extra curl and volume to different parts of your lashes.
First impressions; needed a new mascara and boom... got one. How awesome is that?! I've heard things about ball shaped mascaras so it'll be interesting to try this out and see how it works (and trust me it does work as I have been using this since I got it) the ball shape at the end also helps split your lashes apart so you don't have that spider leg look.... perfection! An amazing addition to the make-up collection.

All in all... I like this box. I've seen a few bloggers not happy with this particular box and I can understand their points that they made but for a $139 value for $25.99 (plus the p&p) isn't that bad. Maybe in future if there is another Princess Edition box they need to consider other options so instead of throwing in a random hair care product into a whole make-up box is take away a make-up product and add a skin care product or just throw away the hair care product altogether and have just kept this as a make-up box like the Snow White box was skin care all in all... get it? I am happy with this box and I will certainly be using all of these products... guarantee that.

Thanks for reading!

♡ MEMEbox Princess Edition #4 The Little Mermaid // Unboxing ♡

みなさん、こんにちは!

Aish! I am a little behind on what I originally had planned but I wanted to get these unboxings done and out of the way more than anything! I'm not going to lie, I hate waiting for things. Especially for things that I have purchased and you don't know what will be in them. At the MEMEboxes HQ, I think that they have some twisted fetish about seeing people squirm and wait for their products... ugh so mean!

Anyway, after months of waiting... three boxes turned up on my doorstep all within the space of a week huzzah!! The first one I had unboxed was the Princess Edition #4 - The Little Mermaid.

#1 Pureplus+ Bentonite Cleansing Soap

Product description; this cleansing soap brings together Bentonite clay from France and cocoon silk for optimizing its skin perfecting results as a deep cleanser. The Bentonite clay is packed with over 66 different kinds of natural minerals such as calcium, magnesium, germanium, and selenium which effectively yet gently removes unnecessary dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from the skin. Together with the cocoon silk - known to be the most similar ingredient to our skin's innate protein - this clay soap leaves skin soft and moist without causing dehydration.
First impressions; I'm actually allergic to most soap bars (and many soap products) over here in UK - I can't remember the ingredient but my searches are limited - and so I'm a little cautious about trying this product, especially as it is meant to be a face cleanser, as I don't really want to have a burning red rash all over my face... we'll see, I'll have to do a skin test first and hope for the best!

#2 DD'ell Extra Vitalizing Serum

Product description; This extra vitalizing serum is formulated with algae extract and galactomyces ferments both rich in  various minerals, vitamins and amino acids. Algae is also known as a miracle natural ingredient from the ocean because it boosts great life force and power growth, for it grows over a meter each day. Nutrition-rich extracts from the algae act as strong antioxidant, anti-allergic, and moisturising agent. Its formula is also free of 12 chemical ingredients such as paraben, artificial colouring, benzophenone, formaldehyde, paraffin, BHT, and triethanolamide.
First impression; this does seem interesting. At first when you look at the product, you will think that it's some highly chemical produced product from the top end of the market but the fact that, yes it is a little high in price ($42) but it's got the main known chemicals out of it. It's hard to keep looking around for a product without paraben in it and even though I'm not as aware of it as I should be.... I do try my best. It'll be interesting to see how this particular product turns out after a few weeks of using in my daily routine.

#3 Grinif Collagen Aqua Peeling Gel

Product description; Multi-action enzymes along with cellulose effectively peel and help uncover a smooth, fresh, new complexion without drying, irritating, or causing undue stress to skin. It removes impurities and de-congests clogged pores for a youthful, radiant look.
First impressions; This is one weird container for a peeling gel... but there must a reason behind it to use such a design? I'm always interested in products to try that don't dry out my skin and it says in the description that it doesn't do that so this one shall certainly be put through the test to check out that theory.

#4 dearberry Pure & Popular White Clay Pack

Product description; Amazon white clay deeply cleanses sebum and skin impurities piled up in the pores and tightens up enlarged pores while organic aloe vera extracts soothe and moisturise the skin. This gentle wash-off clay pack will leave your skin feeling silky, soft and flawless.
First impressions; YAY CLAY PACK!!! Clay packs are my life savers and after running out of my recent one (Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Clay Pack) this is a godsend to me! I suffer from very large pores around / on my nose and in certain areas around my chin so clay packs honestly work for me and I'm excited to see if this one will do the job like my previous one!

#5 Mizon Hyaluronic Ultra Suboon Cream

Product description; moisturises, nourish, relieve, and firm up dry, dulled complexion with Hyaluronic Ultra Suboon Cream. This facial cream consists over 30% hyaluronic acid otherwise known as 'moisture magnet', effectively pulling and locking in moisture and nutrition. Various natural ingredients, oil and ceramide also work to hold in the moisture and to soothe sensitive, stimulated skin. Its gentle formula is free of paraben, artificial colouring, and artificial fragrance.
First impressions; I have heard of Mizon products and have only dipped my toe in with a couple of things but I'm excited to test out this one as it is, again, paraben free as well as low in artificial products. I just hope this definitely lives up to what it's saying and will help keep my skin balanced in the moisturised section as well as not irritating my sensitive skin!

#6 Pure Smile Original Mask Sheet in Seaweed

Product description; pamper your skin with an essential mask sheet enriched with a blend of hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, collagen, and seaweed or pearl extracts straight from the ocean.
First impressions; a Japanese mask product amongst Korea products? Uhhh ok? But, I did just find out today though that Pure Smile may be a Japanese product but it is made in Korea, hence the linking of these products... interesting right? I love Pure Smile anyway and it definitely does what it says on the packaging and I have never had a bad product from them before so I'll be enjoying this mask one day that is for sure!

Now interestingly again, all products were full sized which was quite a nice surprise... I just wish I'd felt the same way about a couple of the actual products given though. First off, I am happy with about 90% of the facial products involved in this box but it's just the bar of soap... super random to me and it just feels a little... I don't know thrown in there? I like the theme of having products from the ocean and ingredients that help keep your skin soft and moisturised but I was expecting a little more pizazz from this box? Princess..... Mermaid.... hints there?

♡ MEMEbox Princess Edition #1 Snow White // Unboxing ♡

みなさん、こんにちは!

This is my first ever Memebox and I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised. After months of seeing some of my favourite beauty bloggers post their boxes - some with amazing products whilst others being a little naff, but you can't always have something great - I thought it was finally time to dive in and get something and the Princess Edition boxes were a great way to start.

I only could get the one box at the time but I think I made the best choice out of the three. The first being Snow White - it's based around skincare / whitening products, the second box was Sleeping Beauty - this one being sleeping packs and other pieces and the third box was Rapunzel - hair products mainly. I like that they give a mixture of body and face products so you're not just stuck with a particular product based on a certain part of your body... But for now, onto the goodies from this particular box;

#1 Nella Fantasia One Day Whitener

Product description; this is a magically whitening body lotion that instantly moisturises and brightens up dry, coarse, and darkened skin tone for a lasting glow all day long. It's also non-sticky and strong against water and sweat.
First impressions; ok so I have (of course) heard of whitening products for you face but, a whitening product for your body?! Somehow, a part of me is surprised yet another part of me isn't as the Koreans seem to have pretty much every thing made cosmetic/beauty/skin care wise for every part of the human body... this will definitely be an interesting product to try to see if it does work. I think that if I do use this, I'll be using it on my neck slash collarbone slash shoulders slash arms region more than my whole body as those are the only part of my actual body - besides my face obviously - that have been on show for the general public to view the most.

#2 original raw First Essence (Vitamin Essence)

Product description; both the Red Essence and the Vitamin Essence are combinations of a skin toner, an essence, and a lotion all in one. Also, they're both enriched with various vitamin nutrients and dragon's blood extract from the dragon tree and work to instantly rejuvenate and brighten up the damaged or sagging skin.
First impressions; as I am not 100% sure what the Red Essence or the Vitamin Essence actually have difference wise... I'm pretty happy with getting the vitamin version. Even though in the description, it says that this product is a lotion it's more like an oil based cleanser instead and I am totally down for that as I have been into using oil cleansers more recently as they are super beneficial for my skin. I'm definitely going to do some more digging around to see the differences between each essence and see if it's worth getting the red essence as well in the near future.

#3 FACEFLUX Anti-Wrinkle Revitalizing Cream

Product description; enriched with ceramide, hyaluronic acid, lemon verbena extracts, shea butter and portulaca extracts, the Anti-Wrinkle Revitalizing Cream works to brighten up dulled complexion, to relieve stimulate or sensitive skin, and to treat signs of fine lines and wrinkles for a younger and healthier-looking complexion overall. 
First impressions; wrinkle cream............. I'm not even 25 yet and I've got wrinkle cream. Well, I can either get ahead of the game and use it or I might just go and give it to my mam to use instead, I'm sure she'll be happy to have a new wrinkle cream to use!

#4 Daltokki Whitening Essence

Product description; all you need is a single drop of Daltokki's Whitening Essence mixed with a facial cream for a whitening and moisturising effect, with a sunblock for creating the naturally brightened skin tone, and with a BB cream or foundation for creating the fully covered and perfectly toned up complexion.
First impressions; taking away the whole creepy little rabbit... man... thing on the bottle, this product is the one I was to use the most. The fact that it has multiple uses and you only need a drop or two each is something that I like because it means that you're not wasting a product so quickly for one effect. I'll definitely try this out with the options listed in the product description to see what pans out with it.

#5 Ipsennature 5 Seeds Apple Water Brightening Scrub

Product description; made from apple water, apricot, raspberry, walnut, rice, and corn seed powders, this Brightening Scrub is a cleansing scrub which works to gentle peel away all dead skin cells and skin impurities and deliver skin replenishing and brightening effects all in one!
First impressions; I guess you can never have too many facial scrubs in your skin care routine! It's lucky that I've recently run out of my favourite facial scrub and was about to purchase a new pot but I might as well put it off and use this one instead.

#6 Morningtree Revitalizing Whitening Deep Spot

Product description; excessive melanic pigmentation is responsible for darkened spots over your body - face, hands, arm pits, busts, elbows, knees, heels, and even the Y-zone. This high concentrate, gel-type essence will soothe,, cool, brighten, and repair such dry and darkned spots, and its suitable for all skin types and for both men and women.
First impressions; interesting. Most roller face products I have seen tend to be used for around the eye area and use only one roller per tube, the fact this one has three small rollers must mean that the product will be distributed easily and less pulling of the skin? I have no clue really but I'm interested that's for certain!

All in all, I love all the products I received in this beauty box (yes, even the wrinkle cream!) and I honestly now believe that Memebox is amazing value for your money. I have to admit, the biggest surprise of this box was the fact that every product was full sized. I know that you can get a mixture of full size and sample products but to pay $30 (plus shipping) and receive six full size products worth well over the $100 margin is just... wow, it is definitely worth the money. I even went ahead and purchased a few more boxes when they came out - I won't reveal which ones until I receive them!
