How I want to quickly share with you all, a fun product swap with sweet Mamiko from Japan. It all started with her telling me about the wonderful BB cream from the japanese band Nanoce. She offered to send one to me as we all know it's so difficult to get hold of things like this in Europe. I suggested to send her something back and one thing led to another, and here we are with a wonderful product swap from Japan!
In advance I'd like to apologise for the slightly bad photos. My iPhone got stolen and I had to use my old camera. Please, click the photos to see a larger version of them so you can have a proper look at the products.But I hope you'll enjoy this fun packed parcel with me!
Yes, it's huge! So cute. I picked it up before work and was exited the whole day to have a peek. What's inside?
Firs look at the opened parcel. So cute, I can see a bunny rabbit dress in a kimono. So adorable!
After unwrapping all the bubble wrap the box was bursting with cute, amazing and so exiting things!
The product that started this swap is the BB cream in the middle. Now I got 3 japanese BB creams to try and after swatching them on my hand I can already tell that I'll love each and every one of them! The colour is matching perfectly! For some reason I find the japanese BB more yellow in the tone then the korean ones, they are more pink. To me, that's great news! I can't wait to use these! I got to give a review on these, most likely film one.
Here's a Kiss Me mascara for length and curls, next to it is a mascara remover. What an amazing idea! You apply it, wait for 1 minute then just wipe it off. I can't wait to try this! And little bunny with a cookie ring. I love those rings!
Gloss, blush, nail polish and cream blush from Canamake. I have never tried this brand before but Mamiko suggested it to me. It looks adorable and I love all the colours!
I also requested few items. As many of you already know I love Lavshuca! Just the best packaging and great products, made by Kanebo! This is a duo eyeshadow, blush, lipstick and nail polish.
Eyeliner, eyeliner brush from Kate (another Kanebo favourite of mine) I requested, Sweets Sweets nail polish in an amazing orange colour with glitter (can't wait to use) and a beautiful eyeshadow palette from Visée by Kosé.
And how adorable is this! Hello Kitty blotting paper, the sweetest make-up bag with yummy berries and the amazing invention of velcro hair clips. Why are these amazing? Because they won't mess up your hair while putting make-up on, also if you have short fringe it won't make it to stand up when you'll take it off. Pure genius!
I'm not really sure what these saches are suppose to do (UPDATE! It's for exfoliation.) but I got a great explanation on how to use them. I think it's to moisturise the face. Looks interesting. A sweet card and so sweet earrings, I had to zoom in on those!
Look at these sweet origami swans! Ah, I love these! Never seen something like this before. Such a lovely present!
OK, here's something you might not know about me, I LOVE matcha candy, I love MATCHA everything!! And KitKat, PLEASE start making these in Europe, looks so yummy, I can't get enough... I'm so jealous, I want green tea KitKat here too!!
Instant matcha tea? Don't mind if I do! I love this in hot milk, it's super delicious and very addictive. I got to have a look at the date of these, I might save them for cold winter days to sooth my mind and dream myself away to Japan.
This box is huge! These nibbly matcha, crispy candy snacks, my mouth waters! I'm not a selfish person but these are mine! Ah, I'm not sharing, I'll be like Golum with his ring, my precious!
And this is it for my product swap from Japan, a box filled with popping bubble wrap and excitement to use new products. I will use them in my videos and I have a great feeling there will be a "I ❤ BB cream part 3" made on my YouTube channel. What can I say, to quote my best friend -"You might be white on the outside but you're yellow on the inside." Ok, OK, she's chinese, never the less... I have a strange love for things japanese, and I'm not ashamed about it.
Thank you ever so much sweet Mamiko, I hope we can do this again some day, this was so much fun and I hope you'll like your products as much as I love mine! THANK YOU!!
