Unboxing: Kawaii Box June 2018 & Giveaway

12. July 2018

// PR SAMPLE / CUTE / UNBOXING //

I want to share my unboxing of the Kawaii Box June 2018 today, and as before you will have the chance to win a Kawaii Box of your own. Simply scroll down to the end of the post and you will know how to enter. Thanks to Kawaii Box for sponsoring the giveaway and sending me this box ♥

Let’s have a look inside to see what we’ve got this time :)

The box is as always densely packed and you will spot so many pink and cute colors already from this point on.

We have a total of 10 products this time, and if you love Japanese mascots you will be totally satisfied here.

Panda Bento Rice Maker

One of my personal highlights is this Panda Bento Rice Maker! I love Japanese kitchen ware for making cute bento lunch boxes and I have some supplies at home already. This was something I haven’t yet, and I love it already! Can’t wait to try this out :)

Cute Bunny Drink Coaster

At first I didn’t know what this cute rabbit is used for, but a quick glance into the booklet revealed that it is a coaster. Perfect! The white color fits nicely to my desk and computer, so I have placed it on my desk and I’m using it already :)

Salmon Sushi Boy Squishy & Kawaii Hamster Soft Bag Charm

There is no Kawaii box without either a plushie or a squishy. These two are more than adorable. I love especially the hamster charm, because it remind me of Hamtaro. The sushi squishy is supposed to smell cute, too.

Kawaii Drinking Straw Pen & Sumikko Gurashi Deco Stickers

Pen and stickers are stationary staples in Japan! They always surprise me with new designs and more cuteness. That straw pen is the perfect summer accessory to write down some sunny notes. And the characters from Sumikko Gurashi are too cute!

Moomin Memo Pad Set

The second highlight for me is this Moomin Memo Pad Set. Moomins are so cute and I love notes with characters and cute designs. I will definitely have good use for these and I love the fact that we have four different designs here in one.

Precure Grape Gummies & Hello Kitty Strawberry Marshmellows

Although there is a box that consists of sweets only too, the Kawaii box contains two candy products for us. One are Grape Gums with characters of the popular magical girl series Pretty Cure. Have you watched this anime? The second candy is Hello Kitty marshmallows. Looking forward to try both of these candies.

Neko Ears Soft Headband

Another useful item is this Neko Ears Soft Headband, especially as skin care and makeup addict headbands like this are very convenient when washing your face, applying skin care, or makeup.

This is really a “Kawaii Summer”! I think the products really make your every day more cute than ever. If you are a sucker for cute things from Japan you will love the Kawaii Box! How do you like the content of the June Box?

Cute Disney Gift from Modes4U

2. December 2017

// PR Sample / Disney / Stationary //

Christmas is just around the corner and I know that many of you will probably also look online for some gift ideas…or maybe you are looking for something to spoil yourself? I personally love to make myself happy with little cute things and since I’m a huge Disney lover everything that has to do with any of their characters usually makes me happy, although I have of course my favourites. Of course, I love the Disney Princess Movies, and I love Alice in Wonderland! I was happy to receive a bag of surprises from Modes4U and in case you didn’t know that online store I can recommend you to check it out:

Modes4U is an online retailer based in Hong Kong selling cute stationery from Japan, but also fabrics, bags, accessories and DIY clay sets. They a huge selection of kawaii products directly imported from Japan and the USA and ship to customers worldwide. In the past I have ordered a couple of times from this store when I needed cute little gifts for my sister for her birthday or christmas. Especially, since they are an official San-X online retailer they have so many products containing cute japanese mascots like Rilakkuma, Gudetama, Cinnamoroll, and of course Disney characters!

Today, I want to show you a few of their products, mainly Alice in Wonderland themed ones! Who else is a big fan of Alice in Wonderland, by the way?

Alice in Wonderland Character Pouch

I must admit that I have a slight addiction for pouches. I love having pouches in my handbag for handcream, lip balm, tissues, etc, and I love to switch them every once in a while (maybe I should make a picture of some of my favourite ones on Instagram…). Back to the Alice in Wonderland Character Pouch: This pouch has a perfect size for the handbag, and fits either make-up or pencils. It has one big compartment, and two small inner lining compartments. This product is an original Disney licensed product imported from Japan. The pouch shows the scene from the tea party with the Mad Hatter and it is so colorful to look at. It retails for 27.89 US$ (23.90€).

Let’s see what we have for the next product:

Alice in Wonderland Ring Binder Notebook

Do you love making notes and lists? I do! And I have always some back-up notebooks lying around. This is not only functional, it also looks pretty with the comic panel design. This notebook is hand-sized and has squared paper inside with Alice character print in the corner. The front and the back are made from hard cover, too. This is also an original licensed Disney product from Japan. It retails for 6.52US$ (5.59€).

And here comes the last Alice in Wonderland themed product:

Alice in Wonderland Hard Flake Stickers

I love stickers! Though I tend to not use them, but keep them forever…but nontheless: they are so pretty to look at (and also are a good accessories to have for picture backgrounds :D )! This package contains 15 stickers with 5 different patterns. The stickers are hard stickers with different motives from Alice in Wonderland, like the Cashire Cat, the White Rabbit, and Alice of course. The stickers are see-through and have a gold metallic embellishment. The pack of stickers retails for 7.57 US$ (6.49€).

Modes4U also offers bento box items and has a bento box shop. The last item I want to show you is this tiny bento box:

Little Mermaid Bento Box Snack Box

This tiny Bento Box with the Little Mermaid print on the lid is so adorable! I love bento boxes and all the cute items you can buy for them and if I have time I prepare a bento for my lunch time at work. It always brings me to a happier mood. The box here is really tiny, but it fits some small snacks like a trail mix or grapes for example. It is also cute to use for small things you want to keep…for example like the stickers above. There are different motives for this tiny box with either prints from Arielle, Tinker Bell, Rapunzel, or Alice. The box can be washed up to 140 degrees Celsius, the lid can be washed up to 70 degrees Celsius, and the lower part of the box can be used in the microwave, too. This item is BPA free and therefore food and child safe! It retails for 6.99US$ (5.99€).

Perfectly for the season, the delivered items came with a free Christmas-themed Washi Tape and a Christmas themed business Card *_* So cute!

Now, and for my orders in the past, I have always been very happy with Modes4U and their products, aswell as with their delivery. The items arrive really quickly and they have a good quality, too. I can really recommend you to check out their store, and if you love cute things like the items I showed you here, you will fall in love with their product range! The shipping costs are free from 70 US$ (60€), but also if you order less than that the shipping costs are not that high and calculated on a fair basis. You might also want to check out their Christmas themed products, since it might be the perfect season for it ;).

What do you think about these items? Have you ordered from Modes4U before?

Unboxing & Giveaway: Kawaii Box February 2017

19. March 2017

It’s been a long time since I did an unboxing for Kawaii Box, but here I am again and as usual in combination with a giveaway, so you can win your own Kawaii Box, too! Thanks to Kawaii Box for sponsoring the giveaway and sending me this box ♥ Here is what was inside my Kawaii Box February 2017:

I reviewed the Kawaii Box a couple of times ago and it is always filled with so many cute items from Japan and Korea, reaching from stationary, stickers, charms, and even plushies. Those of you who love these kind of overly cute items will have the chance to win a Kawaii Box for yourselves :D Simply fill out the Rafflecopter form at the end of this post. The giveaway is sponsored by Kawaii Box and we will pick the winner randomly and the prize will be send out by KAwaii Box to the winner. Please no cheating! We will check the entries ;)

As usual, the Kawaii Box came packed in a cute box with purple hearts and a pink scalloped ribbon printed on the box. It is obvious that this box will contain adorable products already from the packaging. Opening up the box reveals many densly packed products inside:

The Kawaii Box February 2017 contained 11 different products this time. reaching from plushies, to stationary, small cute accesories, stickers, and so on. The cute card lists all the items. I love that cat illustration on their product card so much *_*

Let’s start with the products that were inside the Kawaii Box: This was actually the first time I saw and heard about a phone ring holder and stand. The kawaii bunny shaped ring holder can be attached to the backside of your phone (or your phone’s case) and used to pop up your phone on the desk. I’ve been loving this, especially it gives me additional secure grip while holden the phone in the bus or train for example. I also was very happy to discover the Ghost Pop Pocket Mirror in this box, because I love pocket mirrors and I love to exchange them regularly in my makeup pouch :D A cute Ribbon Hair Clip and a Harajuku Badge were also included, as well as a Pocky Stick Ballpoint Pen. I love Pocky Sticks to eat, and every time I go to the asian grocery store I pick up Pocky Sticks, if they are available. And a pen shaped like a Pocky Stick?! What else could I wish for :D ?!

Every Kawaii Box comes with a DIY Kit and some sweets. This time Kracie Popin’ Cookin’ DIY Kit Colorful Ramune Land was included., as well as Glico Popcan Disney Lollipop. Stickers are also part of the Kawaii Box usually. Here, we have got Valentine’s Plush Stickers ( it was the Valentine’s Box, so this fits perfectly), and Twinkle Deco Jewels.

Last, but not least, the box contained some Korean Meal Erasers and a Nemuneko Plushie. The plushie was of course the highlight of the box for me :D Isn’t it adoreable?!

All in all, the Kawaii Box February 2017 was filled with many and versatile products, being cute and adoreable from top to bottom. But as usual, since it is a surprise subscription box you never know what’s inside and there will be items that you will like more, and items that you will like less. I think the Kawaii Box can be a wonderful gift for children and fans of kawaii stuff from Japan or Korea.

Did you try the Kawaii Box already’? Would you be intrigued to buy it?

asian cosmetics beauty guestpost

Guestpost: Round-up: The Cutest Cat Cosmetics

9. March 2017

Here is a guestpost by the lovely Anne from the blog Cat Obsessed. I hope you will enjoy reading it:

I love Asian cosmetics for two reasons: firstly, the quality is great. I have very sensitive skin. Most western drugstore brands make my skin react. However, I have no problem with Korean and Japanese products from inexpensive brands like Etude House and Nature Republic.

The second (less important) reason is the packaging. When I see something cute, it’s easy to get me to part with my money! Korean brands often team up with some of my favorite characters like Line Friends and Gudetama.

Given that I run a cat blog, it’s no surprise that I’m a sucker for any makeup with a cat theme. Many brands have made adorable cat items. It’s mostly just the outer packaging that has a feline appearance, but Japanese company Felissimo recently made a hand cream with the fragrance of a cat’s paw!

In this post, Fräulein Schnee has kindly invited me to share five of the cutest cat-themed makeup items I’ve ever seen.

1. Skin79 – Animal Mask (Angry Cat)

Sheet masks with animal faces have become very popular in the last year or two. Not only are they fun to look at, but they have all the benefits you’d expect in a Korean sheet mask. In the animal mask series from Skin79 there are three options – Angry cat, Dry money or Dark panda. These have different properties for various skin problems. Angry cat contains aloe and tea tree extracts to soothe irritated and troubled skin. It claims to moisturize and purify rough, flaky, dry and lifeless skin.

2. Miss Hana x Choo Choo Cat – Waterproof Eyeliner Kit

The Choo Choo cat series is a range of adorable cat artwork from Korean company Jetoy. The cats can be found on postcards, teacups, purses…and now a makeup collaboration with Miss Hana! The Miss Hana x Choo Choo Cat Waterproof Eyeliner kit contains four colors – black, brown and glitter versions of both. The pretty metal case also includes a sharpener. This is one item I’d buy just for the packaging. The blue-eyed white cat actually looks like a lot like my pet Saus (you can see my favorite picture of her at the top of this post – she’s so silly!). I found the advert for this collaboration set and it’s so adorable I melted:

3. Holika Holika x Audrey Jeanne – Dodo Cat Glow Cushion BB

Holika Holika is a famous Korean makeup brand. You can’t walk down a street in Seoul without spotting one or two branches! But have you heard of Audrey Jeanne? Probably not. She’s a French illustrator specialising in adorable cat drawings. The Holika Holika x Audrey Jeanne collab is a strange combination but definitely a cute one. The Dodo Cat Glow Cushion contains both foundation and brightener for a natural skin glow. Used together they create a natural, radiant and flawless complexion.

4. The Face Shop – Mini Pet Sweet Perfume Hand Cream

I have already mentioned Felissimo’s strange cat-paw fragranced hand cream – but other brands have created feline-themed hand creams too! The Face Shop is one of my favorite brands when it comes to moisturisers. They are generally effective while being gentle on my sensitive skin. This Mini Pet Sweet Perfume Hand Cream has a floral fragrance (maybe how my cat smells after after I’ve washed her with scented shampoo!). It’s only 30mls so it’s small enough to pop into your handbag. There are also three other animal options to choose from if cats aren’t your thing.

5. White Cat – Super Berry Silky Eye Balm

Another Korean brand which I hadn’t come across before is actually named after a cat – White Cat. This brand is known for using nature-friendly and hypoallergenic ingredients. Not all of their products are feline themed but many of them have leopard print packaging. One such example is their Super Berry Silky Eye Balm. This product claims to provide moisture and increase elasticity in the sensitive eye area. It also improves wrinkles – I’m sold! And look at the lovely fluffy pet in their promotional image:

I would buy anything that this kitty is selling!

I hope you enjoyed this round up! If you’re not a cat lover, these items would make a good gift for a friend who is. Crazy cat ladys are easy to buy for. I would certainly love to receive them!

Where to buy?

Skin79 – Animal Mask (Angry Cat)

Miss Hana x Choo Choo Cat – Waterproof Eyeliner Kit

Holika Holika x Audrey Jeanne – Dodo Cat Glow Cushion BB

The Face Shop – Mini Pet Sweet Perfume Hand Cream

White Cat – Super Berry Silky Eye Balm

asian stationary beauty beauty boxes home PR sample TokyoTreat

Unboxing: YumeTwins Box November 2016 “Breakfast”

2. December 2016

TokyoTreat also offers a subscription box for Japanese cute things called YumeTwins. I received the YumeTwins Box November 2016 a couple of days ago and I’m happy to share its content with you today. The topic of this months YumeTwins Box was “Breakfast”, the most important meal of the day, as it is said!

YumeTwins Box is a monthly subscription box service located in Japan and delivering cute and kawaii stuff from Japan. They state that it centers around the terms Yume Kawaii, which is a new Kawaii movement that has developed, being a mix of cuteness, fairytale and darkness.

Each YumeTwins box contains 8-10 items reaching from plushies, squiechies, collectible keychains and figures, stationary and accessories. The box can be either subscribed monthly, or in packages of 3, 6 or 12 months. The YumeTwins Box November 2016 contains exactly 8 items and revolves around the topic “Breakfast”, since breakfast has an important role in Japanese culture. Traditional Japanese breakfast is very hearty, serving fish, rice, eggs, pickles and miso soup. But of course there is also western breakfast available in Japan.

The box was packed to the top, mainly because it contained a HUGE plushie this time: the Shinada Baby Nature Plushies are suuuper soft and fluffy and there were different types available in the boxes. My box contained a baby alpaca *_* Isn’t it adorable? The plushie is not really related to breakfast, but still it is so adorable..and maybe it can be part of a tea party instead ;)

Another Hit-item in the YumeTwins Box November 2016 were the Re-ment’s Sailor Moon Sweets Mascot. These are blind boxes containing one out of 6 cute and tasty looking Sailor Moon themed charms. In my box the Tuxedo charm was included. Since the charms are designed as sweets this fits nicely into the breakfast topic.

Another charm was also part of this month’s box: the Sumikko Gurashi Sushi Rubber Keychain Charm! In Japan you can have Sushi for breakfast at fish markets, although it is not really a typical breakfast food. Still, the key charms are so cute and I love the rubber material they have.

Japan is known for their adoreable stationary and of course the box needed some notepads, too. My box contained a Obento Mate Mini-Notepad, illustrated with cute pandas/bears and typical food which is part of a japanese bento (onigiri, bunny-apple-slices, octopus sausages…). I love these kind of mini-notepads!

More stationary of course: the Sanrio Kirimichan Post-Its and Sanrio Gudetama stickers! I know you guys love Gudetama and lately there have been so many fun beauty product collaborations with this egg mascot. Egg is the key breakfast product in most countries all over the world, so it is super fitting into the breakfast theme. Kirimichan is not so well-known as Gudetama, but it is also a food themed character from Sanrio, depicting a salmon piece. Fish is very important in traditional Japanese breakfast, so this one fits in perfect, too!

I fell in love with the Rilakkuuma Tea Party Darjeeling Tea Bags at first sight. These adorable teabags have a cardboard Rilakkuuma illustration which acts as a holder for the teabag on the same time. So adorable and perfect for a tealover, especially for breakfast!

The last item of the YumeBox November 2016 is the Enogumasan 2-Way Marker. Enogumasan is a bear character from popular japanese stationary maker Kamio. The marker has two sides, a thicker and a thin side. And of course it is super cute. Not necessarily a breakfast themed products but still I love it!

YumeTwins Box made me totally happy and I love the concept of this subscription box. If you are a Japan stationary and cute stuff lover you will adore this box. I love how they have a theme for it and try to find products that fit to the theme. In the magazine which is included in the box you will find the descriptions from the products but also some more information about the topic, which also gives you more insight about japanese culture. The YumeTwins Box retails for 29.99 US $ including worldwide shipping. The 3,6, and 12 month plans have a discounted price. EDIT: I just read the news that they made a Makeover for YumeTwins Box. The new YumeTwins Box will contain only 5 items, but they will include in EACH Box high Quality plushies, lifestyle goods and premium character goods worth over 50 US$. The new YumeTwins Box changes are based on a survey among their subscribers. For their launch there is a Grand Renewal Sale, where subscribers can get UP TO $60 DISCOUNT on the YumeTwins plans until Dec 8th, 2016 using coupon NEWYUMETWINS! Don’t miss your chance to try it!

If you are interested in TokyoTreat and YumeTwins Box visit their webpage, their instagram, or their facebook page.

asian fashion fashion Froomer PR Sample

Floral Beads Patchwork Blouse from Froomer

28. April 2016

// PR SAMPLE / FASHION //

Instead of some nice and warm spring weather it has been even snowing again these days, so no way to wear some sun glasses in near future :/ but instead I have a more appropiate clothing item for these chilly days: a Floral Beads Patchwork Blouse from Froomer…actually, it is like a thin pullover/sweater type of blouse…

Froomer is an online retailer available from Amazon.com. They have a selection of women’s apparel, too, were I spotted this Blouse. I was looking for a blouse like this for a long time, since I saw an asian girl in the train one day which had a similar blouse with patchwork on the shoulders and some beads sewn on top of it. It just looked so cute in the combination, making a regular sweater much more unique.

The material of the Floral Beads Patchwork Blouse from Froomer is thin, but still okay from the material. I do not know exactly what it is made from, probably polyester. It is made in China, as you can see from the label. The patches are sewn loosely on the shoulders showing a flower pattern and they are decorated with the beads. The right sleeve has more beads on the patch than the left one somehow (I do not know if this is done on purpose or not), but still it gives that extra bit of cuteness to the blouse. The color I chose is called “dark blue” but the blouse is also available in red. There are some overlong fibers which have to be cut at the sleeves but the sewing looks okay all in all.

I would say that you won’t do anything wrong for the price of around 13 $. It is a nice and cute blouse with some pretty flower patches and if you have been ordering from taobao once in a while you will be familiar with the smaller asian sizes, too. I ordered the Floral Beads Patchwork Blouse from Froomer in M and I think that it has a nice fit. Maybe the sleeves are a tiny bit too short and L would have been fine as oversized blouse aswell.

Lapel Blouse with Cat Print from SheIn

24. April 2016

// PR SAMPLE / FASHION //

I have a weakness for cat prints and cat themed fashion products and recently I spotted a Lapel Blouse with Cat Print on SheIn matching exactly my taste. Cute prints on a blouse make it look much more girly and soft, although blouses are usually elegant and grown-up.

SheIn, formerly known as Sheinside, is an online fashion retailer since 2008, providing affordable fashion targeting women. Apart from clothing like dresses, tops and bottoms, you will also find accessories, shoes and jewelry.

This white lapel blouse with cat print is made from polyester and has a thin material, suited for spring or fall. The blouse is printed with cat faces all over. The material is soft, but there are some stray threads on the buttons of the sleeve. The other seams are well sewn. The material slightly see-through, typical for most white clothes.

Since it is a long-sleeved blouse you can either wear the sleeves down or pull them up. There is a lug to fix the sleeves in the latter case. The blouse fits perfectly to my Luna bag and my cat-eye sun glasses, which I hope to be able to wear soon…

At the moment the Lapel Blouse with Cat Print from SheIn is available in only one size, which is “S”. Luckily, it is a perfect fit for me. It retails for 25.29 US$ at the moment since it is on sale.
