Heyo everybunny~!♥
How are you~?♪
Today I'm happy to bring you a review for the June Kira Kira crate!
I've been getting a few subscription boxes for a while but recently I thought it would be fun to review them on my new blog♥
Kira Kira crate is a subscription box by Japan Crate that contains Japanese cosmetics~! Often they contain character themed cosmetic goods too which is fun♥ I'm a sucker for cute cosme but I also have quite sensitive skin, luckily I've found that pretty much all the products I get are nice to my skin.^^ The products I've had in boxes that are skin care related are usually very gentle on skin, which is great~! I'm always impressed with the quality of Japanese and Korean cosmetics even if they're kind of a novelty or made to be cute~!
Here's what's inside the June box♪
The boxes used to be bigger, but they slimmed them down, I think it was so the contents didn't move around! As now everything seems to fit in it just nicely♥
♥Fluffy Milky White Headband♥
I already have a headband like this, but I'm happy I now have a spare while the other is being washed ahah♥ This is actually really really soft, I love it♥
♥Magic Lip Tattoo - Orange Colour♥
I think this is the only product in the box that I'm not too sure about? >< It's a lip stain that you apply to your lips and then peel off after it has dried. It's a little inconvenient to peel off and isn't super consistent over the lips, as when I tried it, it was a little patchy. I think I will try it a few more times before I judge it properly, but right now I prefer my Etude House lip stains.^^;
♥Hydrogen Spa Bath Ball♥
I'm more of a shower bun than a bath bun but I had a bath to see what this would be like and it smelled so good~! *^* This bath ball contains magnesium hydroxide and is supposed to be good for all sorts of things like your skin & relaxing muscles.♪ I'm not sure if I'd buy something like this regularly because I prefer showers, and also since I don't even have a bath while I'm at uni ahah ; 7 ; But regardless, it was a nice treat~!
♥Pure Smile Toner♥
This toner is lightly scented, it smells like other toners I've used.^^ It's a nice fresh scent, though nothing super special. It's really nice and gentle, and not oily~! There isn't a whole lot to say about this product specifically, which I don't mean in a bad way at all~! I actually like it a lot. It fits into my skin care routine quite nicely as I use an Atomy toner every other day after washing my face, and after washing my face on the other days I use a slightly more gentle toner.♪ I'll maybe make a post about my full skin care routine another time~!
♥Pure Smile Milky Essence Masks: Vitamin & Royal Jelly♥
I always love getting face masks and trying out new ones♥ I've never tried the milky essence masks before, so I was excited to try them~! Especially since my skin hasn't been very happy lately.><
Royal Jelly: This mask has anti-inflammatory & anti-ageing properties.♪ This mask had a really strong honey scent, it was so nice~! After using the mask, most of the redness on my face (I have quite patchy skin..><) had gone down a lot! My skin felt really soft too.
Vitamin: This mask is good for acne-prone skin.♪ The scent of this mask wasn't quite as strong as the royal jelly mask, but it was still pleasant~! This mask brightened my face and made my skin feel really soft♥ It also helped with redness.^^
Both masks were very hydrating and fit fairly comfortably on my face, though they were a little big haha.^^;
♥Doraemon x Hello Kitty Lip Cream♥
The packaging for this is so cute! I've been loving recent Sanrio collabs! Sanrio x Yuri on Ice~ Sanrio x Osomatsu san~
But anyway, this lip cream is really nice! The peach scent is really light and sweet. I have really really dry lips and usually I use a strong lip balm. From a moisturising point of view, I'm actually surprised with how good this is. I was expecting it to be just a cute and nicely scented lip cream but it works well as something that will moisturise too~!
If you're looking to buy cosme like these but without subscribing to a service, you could try somewhere online like yesstyle~! There are other stores that I have come across, but yesstyle is the only one I have used before. It was pretty handy for getting products quickly rather than buying from a Japanese brand store, getting it shipped to a shopping service, then getting it shipped internationally.
You could also try looking on Rakuten~! Many of the stores will ship internationally or you could use a shopping service like Tenso! After a quick search in the beauty category, I found brands such as Pure Smile, Sanrio cosme, Canmake, Majolica Majorca, Hada Labo etc..
Please remember if you want to buy cosmetics online to get them from a reputable store~!♪

♥Fluffy Milky White Headband♥
Messy freshly dried hair~!! It needs a headband ww (Sorry no make 'cept tinted lip balm..- 7-)
Somewhat tamed~!
But ofc if I'm going to use a facemask I'll pull all my hair back.. but you don't want to see that haha
