Another Parcel Swap with Nicole – The Beauty Maniac in Tokyo

Hello!  It’s parcel swap time!  What originally started as a one off swap with Nicole in Tokyo has now evolved into a regular thing, and you can read the past posts on what I have received  here , here ,  here  AND here !  I’m once again completely guilty of hoarding this parcel.  It’s pretty bad that considering I’ve copied this paragraph from my last post,  I have yet ANOTHER parcel on it’s way to me.   I will get organised eventually…

I received two copies of Up magazine .  Take a closer look… who’s that on the magazine on the right?  Well well well, if it isn’t my sworn nemesis, Mikako Tabe.  Mikako became my nemesis after starring as the romantic love interest of Haruma Miura in Kimi ni Todoke .   From a quick skim read, Up magazine is full of all sorts of useful tutorials and articles.  I may even read what Mikako has to say… *grumbles*

Sweets!  I received a bag of Cororo 100% Grape Juice gummies .  These gummies are made with 100% fruit juice and each gummy has the texture of real grapes. Mmm!  I might need to open these soon.  I also received a box of Fujiya Milky Box sweets that regular readers will know that I love.  Fun fact – in the picture above there are about 3 sweets left in the box as I couldn’t resist!  They were all gone by the time I finished taking pictures for this post… oops!

Sheet masks!  I received a Pure Smile Essence Mask as well as a Food in Mask… mask?! (PLEASE correct me on the name if you know as I’m not too sure!)  I received two of the Food in.. Masks but I decided that trying one wouldn’t hurt and wouldn’t be noticed that much.  I think I am getting the hang of using sheet masks so I will try my best to share my thoughts with you all!   In the interests of the safety of my readers, I will not be showing you any pictures of me with it on – ha!

Make up! I had asked Nicole to send me the full size of the Maybelline Pure Mineral BB Cream  in our next parcel after I fell in love with a sample she sent me in our last parcel.  She also sent me two Canmake lip products, the Candy Wrap Lip and the Jelly Stick Gloss .  The Candy Wrap Lip looks a gorgeous shade of hot pink (as you can see!) and the Jelly Stick Gloss is of course a red shade.  I love the Canmake lip products I have from previous swaps so I have no worries or doubts about these new additions to the stash.

Sachets!  Nicole included a mixture of haircare, skincare and bodycare sample sachets .  I like having haircare samples as it means I can try lots of different varieties without weighing down a parcel with heavy bottles! The sachets came in handy when I went on holiday with some fabulous bloggers late last year (I also need to blog about that…. eek!).

Once again.. I’ve been spoiled!  If there is anything you want me to talk about in more detail, please let me know!

I will be posting about another swap I did recently soon and I think you’re all going to want to see this… it could be the swap to end ALL swaps!
