Misc | Kawaii Box Review

Hello lovelies! Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend so far  (☆^ー^☆)

A few weeks ago I contacted the lovely folks over at Kawaii Box and asked if I could review a box for them; to my surprise and joy, they said yes! Kawaii Box is a monthly subscription service, where you receive a box of adorable Japanese and Korean stationary and other cute items each month  (。♥‿♥。) Think I frightened my mailman half to death when he delivered it, I was so excited ahaha.

So, here's my box review! Be warned: super photo heavy post!





1 - Kawaii Neko Plush (Cute Cat Plush)



2 - Tin Dinosaur Pencil Case



3 - Macaron Ink Pen


4 - Cloud Memory Letter Set

5 - Korean Deco Tape



6 - Polka Dots Shoe Laces


7 - Popsicle Squishy Charm


8 - Mini Animal Spray Bottle


9 - Alpaca Tin Case


10 - Puffy Paradise Stickers



11 - Naru Naru Gumi Nomi DIY Candy Kit



Sooooooo many photos ahahaha! Ugh, everything's so cute it's unbelievable!

Since receiving this Kawaii Box I've already started using a few items, such as the Macaron Ink Pen. It's cute and colourful, and as I'm constantly trundling off to interviews or meetings with recruitment agencies, I need a pen attached to my Week by Week Diary at all times to note all of these appointments down.

I'm also using the Popsicle Squishy Charm, and the Puffy Paradise Stickers. My boyfriend broke the little keyring I was using to keep my housekeys together, so I've started using this really big H&M Tiger Face keyring so that my keys are easy to find in my rather large and cluttered messenger bag. The Popsicle Squishy Charm has now joined the Tiger Face, and now my keys are unmissable in my bag ahaha 'cause this charm is so fat! It even smells kind of sweet ahaha, but the downside is now I keep finding lots of little sprinkles in my bag that have fallen off ahahaha. Meanwhile, some of the Puffy Paradise Stickers have made their way onto the back of my phone, and so far I'm impressed with their staying power! They really cheer my phone up ♪(゚▽^*)ノ⌒☆

There are a few things I'm planning on using as well, such as the Kawaii Neko Plush which will probably join Tiger Face and Popsicle on my housekeys. Also the Tin Dinosaur Pencil Case as soon as I can be bothered transferring all my stationary from my old pencil case, the Cloud Memory Letter Set as both my father's and boyfriend's birthdays are in the next three weeks and I'm making home made cards 'cause I'm so unemployed and poor ahaha. The Mini Animal Spray Bottle too, as I want to transfer some of my perfume into it (currently using New Look's Pure Blush; actually smells so nice!! Quite sweet with a subtle floral undertone, not overpowering in the slightest) so I can have some in my bag, but I can't unscrew the top of the bottle ahahahaha (T▽T) Can't wait to use it when I finally manage to unscrew it though ahahaha!

All in all, I'm sooooo pleased with this Kawaii Box, I didn't think I'd get this much use out of all the items! I'm so happy and thankful that they sent one to me, and I'm 100% going to sign up for a subscription as soon as I get a job 'cause all the items are super cute and useful!

Stay tuned as Kawaii Box are also providing me with another box for a giveaway on my blog!  o((*^▽^*))o

Beauty | Soap & Glory The Fab Pore Daily Micro Smoothing Moisture Lotion Review

Hey there, gorgeous people!

So as you maybe saw in my earlier haul post, I recently made quite a large purchase from Boots, including a re-purchase of my HG moisturiser, Soap & Glory's The Fab Pore Daily Micro Smoothing Moisture Lotion! Honestly my favourite moisturiser to date (○゚ε^○)






Absolutely 100% my holy grail moisturiser. The moisturiser to end all moisturisers. One moisturiser to rule them all. Etc etc ahahaha (o≧▽゚)oニパッ

No, but seriously ahaha. I always avoided mositurisers up until a couple of years ago, because every experience I've ever had with them has ended up with me breaking out in spots within 24 hours of using it. Awful, awful, awful. But then... think in a movie, where the rain clouds part to reveal a rainbow and streams of sunshine, a group of choirboys singing, birds tweeting... that's what happened after I used this Soap & Glory Fab Pore Daily Moisture Lotion because, wait for it, I didn't break out!

This Moisture Lotion is lightweight and breathable, which I think is crucial when it comes to spot-prone skin like mine, as it doesn't clog up my pores. It absorbs easily within a few seconds, so there's none of that heavy, sit-on-your-skin feeling like you get with some moisturisers, but it still does the job! My skin is soft, for the most part spot-free (bad diet, whoops), smooth, and after all those bonuses this Fab Pore Moisture Lotion still does the essential task of keeping my skin from drying out after cleansing  (⌒▽⌒)☆

Have you tried this Soap & Glory Daily Micro Smoothing Moisture Lotion? Are you loving anything else from Soap & Glory right now? Let me know in the comments below!
