Hello! I thought I would share with you a lovely parcel I received a few weeks ago now from Nicole in Tokyo . Nicole and I have done a few of these swaps now but I have to say she really spoiled me this time.
Nicole very kindly sent me two magazines this time – Maquia and VOCE . VOCE is my favourite Japanese beauty magazine as for me, it ticks all the boxes! I could sit and read it for hours. As well as the main Maquia magazine, I also received a small booklet featuring new beauty releases.
FOOD! It seems that the Pretz sticks are the savoury cousin of Pocky “with a similar texture to pretzels” – mmm! LOTTE Toppo is again similar to Pocky, but in that it is “reversed” – there is a filling inside the stick rather than coating it. There is also a bar of LOTTE Crunky Chocolate , but as I get the urge to shout LETS GET CRUNKY when I see it, I’m not sure I can bring myself to eat it. I also received the cutest apple tea sachet which is the bottom left picture. It’s so adorable I’m going to have to leave it untouched. She also sent me two rather “grown up” food items which I will have to find a way to use (I think I may have to learn to cook… *gasps in horror*)
MAKE UP! I could have fainted when my eyes saw the Dollywink Mascara and Cream Eyeshadow – Dollywink is such an iconic Japanese brand and I’ve always heard amazing things about their liquid eyeliner. I also received a Canmake Essence Rouge Lipstick (which I have had a sneaky try of!), Lilly & Kelly Hair Conditioners, Ichikami Hair Serum , an Estee Lauder lipgloss and some individual false eyelashes. I’m not sure why I included it in this picture as it isn’t make up, but the stripy tube on the end is actually cola flavoured toothpaste – yummy!
SAMPLES! I received 3 sachets of haircare from the brands Noz and Diane . I like how it is a sachet of shampoo and then a sachet of a deep conditioner. I also received some bath salts and a Korean nail mask; I’m not sure what that will be like! And finally, I received two sticker sheets; I LOVE stickers! (I’m easily pleased!).
As you can see, I wasn’t exaggerating when I said I had been spoiled. I need to up my parcel game! *stalks Nicole’s blog for gift ideas*

I did! :) it’s been in the works for a while :) you should do a swap! Maybe if you looked at products you wanted and let them know, then there would be no surprises. I’ve subscribed to OyatsuBox so I can try some Japanese food if that’s what you want to try :) x
Super loving the Dolly wink makeup ! ^__^ Such a awesome swap !
I’m going to make sure the next parcel I send her is AMAZING! x
