SWITCH PATCH ELEPHANT 3- STEP. BLACK HEAD NOSE PACK,

the  January box
this month it is  a calm down month after all the December candy.




So the January box laid out 

GIANT CALPLICO CHOCOLATE BOMBER,
this is a giant icecream cone.filled with chocolate.
made with a wafer, with fluffy chocolate,this is a limited edition chocolate bomber that also  has 2 layers of white chocolate and milk chocolate ,then covered in a hard dark chocolate shell, 
this was really tasty and the size was huge that me and my son  shared it.
it was an interesting  taste not creamy more dry, and the consistency like an aero chocolate bar found in the UK aerated, 

the packaging has popular anime and youkai characters. found in japan these are as popular as pokemon.

TOHATO CHOCOBI.
chocobi is tohato's most well known snack, made famous by the crayon shin- chan anime series,
these are crispy star shaped choco corn snacks.
these are very tasty ,crispy and the box does not last long.

POCKY MIDI STRAWBERRY.
these are pocky sticks but they shorter and fatter than the regular sized ones, 
they have more chocolate and double the amount of strawberry chocolate, 
these are sweet ,and quite sickly, i couldn't eat one of the mini packs in a session ,great for sharing,
id love to try other flavours of the midi collection.

PARIKORE GUMMY PEACH AND GRAPE .
Kano makes these are they are not the usual soft gummies, they have a unique crunchy outer layer.the inner is soft and chewy.
porikore comes from the name when you bite into it.
these have a mix of peach and grape flavours.
the texture was strange not a hard shell not a soft ,it had a crisp fine layer coating then a gummy underneath.

MORINAGA RAMUNE SODA CANDIES.
the traditional ramune bottle is filled with ramune flavoured candies,not hard candies as such they melt in the mouth , 

GASHAPON JAPANESE CAPSULE TOY,
these are going to be added each month and vary from box to box ,
gashapon are capsule toys that are available all over japan, they are high quality toys and accessories,
i received a keyring this month.

HANAKAPPA  DIY JELLY,
OK this is a make it up kit,  the candy kit is for jelly ,hannakappa is a Japanese kappa river creature.with a flower growing on its head.

this kit was easy to set up and make,
fill the cup with the powder and add with water tot he red line and stir  as it grows in size in the cup then place int he fridge to set  for 10 minutes.

HI CHEW MINI,
chewy candy with 4 flavours ,apple,grape.lemon,strawberry.
in an easy dispensing pocket pack,

TAKOYAKI TEI,
puffy corn puffs ,these are fried squid and batter topped with Norri flavoured.

PUCCHO KUMAMOTO STRAWBERRY.
 pouch are chewy fruit candies ,in various flavours,
this is a special edition made from strawberries from kumamoto,
the 2 types inside are creamy milk strawberry and fresh strawberry.

DON KOEDA CHOCOLATE 
well this is a chocolate bar features fashion celebrity don - konishi.
its made of chocolate biscuit ,rice puffs,almond,
can't tell you if it was nice never tried it ,

found empty in sons bed , he says it was nice , a chocolate rice krispie bar.

so i like that this months box has a different appeal after the December box ,of which we are still finishing off.

for value for money and the fact in the UK we don't have many stores to buy this type of snacks from it still works out cheaper to buy a monthly box.variety is always good ,the choice is always mixed sweet and savoury,we liked the box this month for many reasons, the only thing uneaten so far is the pocky strawberry ,

roll on February's box .

my bag 
all the products come in a bag each time so it makes a gift to send as well as receive,

here are the products.

inside this bag is 6 products,

HOLIKA HOLIKA  DAILY GARDEN CLEANSER,$11
this cleanser is a cream foam ,a gentle cleaner that is packed with cherry scent and it smells so great.contains acerola,multi fruit bsc,amino acids.
you only need a small amount of this cleanser as it lathers up really well,
removes sunblock and make up with ease,it lifts off dead skin cells and daily dirt and grime off the face and neck with ease, after washing the skin feels refreshed tighter and a little more plump, i used a toner pad after cleansing to see if there was any residue left and it was clean, my skin feels fine and it does not seem to be drying or itchy, the cleanser is good for all skin types 
i Will be looking into the holika holika cleanser range little more.

MY BEAUTY DIARY SHEET MASK, CAVIAR.$1.99
these are my first and will always be my perfect stand by brand to reach for,
the caviar sheet mask helps with the skin firmness,and brightness, and also with elasticity.the thing with my beauty diary is they contain just the right amount of essence on the cotton mask,and i love how they even fit my small face, usually they are so big the eye holes come down by my mouth,the cotton sheet is also a thicker more luxurious quality compared to a lot on the market.
as i like these on my skin i leave on for 30-45 minutes then massage any remaining essence onto my  face and neck.my skin always feels moisturised and alive afterwards and the next day my skin still feels really hydrated.

 

BEAUTEQUE  EXFOLIATION BRUSH,$35.00
i got one in a box a few months ago and haven't looked back,
the exfoliation brush is a great tool to remove dead skin and really get into those pores to clean the skin up.
first off i use the brush over dry skin to get the blood circulating,then add the cleanser onto the brush and scrub and massage in circular movements over the wet face, i do this for 5 minutes this foams up the cleanser and lift dirt and dead skin to the surface it also pulls the blackheads and unblocks pores and brings to the surface.
afterwards you wash off and clean the brush with water then hang up to dry.
the brush is so very soft it fits in the hand so well you have total control over the pressure you place on the skin

COSMOS FACIAL BLOTTING SHEETS.$6.00
what a bright looking pack ,the pack contains 100 tissues .
on opening the pack i removed the sticker in the lid as per instructions,on opening the sticker lifts out one tissue at a time so with no need for excess handling,so all hygienic,
i have never used blotting papers  so this was new to me, i tried them out after a long hot sticky shift at work in a kitchen and couldn't believe how much oil came off on the tissue, i have dry to normal skin so this was really good to see.by simply placing over the face and lifting off i realised why the need for a better cleanser is needed at night time for me,
overall I'm now using these tissues after work before i walk home and my skin feels like it breathes rather than evidently being clogged up.
I'm converted ,now to try other brands,

MIZON  COLLAGEN FIRMING EYE CREAM.$15.00
This tube of cream goes a long way,you only need to dab a tiny amount around the eyes daily, 
loaded with collagen it helps to plump up the skin to even out lines and wrinkles, it helps to smooth the skin and give it some bounce back,
i liked the cream as my puffy eyes went down after a few days,this cream is great for smoothing,firming,softening,when used every day.
it was fine on my skin and i had no irritation which has happened with a few eye creams.

THE FACE SHOP  CHERY CHERRY LIPS MODELING GEL PATCH..$5.50
having received these in other boxes and stashed them in my box or sent to people i thought id give these a go , as they look like a gimmick .
this mask is cherry flavoured .to start with i cleansed my face,then did the face yoga as directed on the back of the packet,
(i mean if your going to try these things out you should do as instructed ).
after the yoga i opened the packaging and was met with a jelly gummy like sweet kind of mask,you place the mask over the lips and then(lie back on the bed and think of England).if not it tends to fall off the mouth, the hardest part was not to try and eat it after 15 minutes i removed the patch then massaged the lips again ,the lips felt soft and smooth afterwards,
i was surprised how well this patch worked and it wasn't just a cheap gimmick, i will be using more of these now.
lesson learnt. try everything once,or you may miss out on a holy grail product,

i really liked the products in this bag and love the cherry scented goodies .
the cleanser and brush go hand in hand and both work really well on my skin, 
the eye cream is being used night and day ,the lip patch mask was fun but also worked well enough to  make me use the others in my stash, it was quick and easy to use and was fun to wear and left my lips smooth and no dry skin around,
i learnt that blotting sheet tissues work for everyone and all skin types and are my new best friend, they are quick and easy to use and easy to throw in the bag ,pocket or locker at work,
who does not like sheet masks they are quick easy and effective and can even be used daily before falling a sleep and no need to wash off,i also like the way that the products all come in a purpose designed bag for holding the products and a menu card, the fact the bag is included means its an instant gift .
i really found this bag to be a good way to delve in to beauteque company as a whole and the types of brands and products they work with ,i can see why the bags have become popular and i can see more customers coming their way globally in the next few months,i think they had amazing fist year and the one thing i have seen month after month is that the bags are well curated and the theme is stuck to ,it incorporates the products and theme to a tee.
I've signed up for the monthly box subscription and will be reviewing those monthly for you all,
i ordered the still available milk bag which In my words was so awesome i would recommend for a gift or for yourself ,suitable for all ages review here,head to toe the milk bag.
i look forward to the first January bag soon.

disclaimer =this box was bought and paid for by me with my own money, all thoughts and reviews are my own , i was not paid or gifted by anyone else.

inside we get the intro card about the bag and on the other side are all the products and info.

UN BOXED,

each month the products come in a bag which differs each month ,

SECRET KEY MILK BRIGHTENING TONER. $19.00
this toner is great for cleansing and clearing up the skin, it lifts the complexion.and is mega packed with vitamins,minerals,ions.
this feeds the skin with the nutrients it needs to push moisture into the skin.
simply apply onto a cotton pad and wipe over a freshly cleansed skin,

SKINFOOD WILDBERRY MILK CLEANSING FOAM,$12.00
a lathering foam cleanser that remove stubborn make up and gunk. and opens up and cleans out the most clogged up pores.with milk extracts .

SKIN FOOD SHEA BUTTER MILK LIP CARE BALM,$7.00
i have another flavour from this brand so to get the actual milk one is epic for me, its soothing and comforting ,the stick balm is easy to apply and hygienic ,the Shea butter is great as it melts on the lips like butter but so moisturising, the lips which are dry and chapped are soon kicked into step and leave a healthy smooth look worth kissing ,or using that statement lippy on.
i found that this is actually doing wonders for my lips while working in the kitchen all day at work a balm that gently softens and hydrates throughout the day is great for me,

SOMANG MILK MOISTURE MASK,$3.00
i applied this fresh from the fridge and it made a great cooling pack, 
the sheet mask is a moisture mask for smoothing and leaves the skin soft and hydrated, it contains 110mg of milk extract.i left it on my face for 30 minutes and massaged remaining serum in to the skin and neck area.

SECRET KEY MILK WHIPPING HAND CREAM,$6.50
so i chose the whipped cream as i wanted a good moisture bounty cream but not too heavy and not too thin, so i can use as a hand sleep mask at night,
this cream is made from donkey milk ,now we have received donkey milk in a few other K-Beauty boxes lately so this is a great choice to try for me, donkey milk is rich in essential fatty acids,minerals,and is very similar to human milk,this cream is light and fluffy it smooths with ease over the hands and sinks in well with no oily residue afterwards.great scented it helps hydrate the skin deep down while moisturising for the whole of the night.it gives off that baby powder scent its quite comforting to smell,

SKINNED MILK CREAMY NAIL POLISH IN PASTEL PURPLE,$8.50
why did i choose purple ,well purple is my thing and i have too many blue polishes, and I'm so not a pink girl,
this is in a cute baby bottle ,and the colour is great even with one coat.
the colour is lavender milk,

MILK WASH OFF SPONGE ,$10.00
a double pack of face cleansing songs , I've just tossed the konjac sponge so I'm back to these ones ,
i really like these sponges and the size , you add the cleanser to it add water and lather up, then being a large sponge it allows you to really massage the cleanser into he skin to remove dead skin and dirt off. the sponge washes out well and dries quickly, 

so my thoughts on the bag are this, 
i love it ,it was well curated to the theme, the products are all very usable,shipping to the UK took 3 days and that included a weekend so its amazing fast.
I've used and heavily using all the products, i like the idea of everything packed into a travel bag ,these are great for home the locker at work, the boy for school and also for gifting presents in.
i think the price was fine for the international shipping as all the products are full sized, 
I'm interested in trying more products from the brand, and i also learnt the sponges are from the same company as dolly wink,yay.
all products also have long dates on ,i like the idea of a theme box and that you get one monthly whether this will change once the monthly subscription starts but I'm game for buying these bags .
also the parcel arrived in a large jiffy padded envelope ,totally safe and undamaged ,it even has the beauteque sticker seal totally intact,
and it sailed through customs.

my next review and UN bagging is going to be for the January edition of the new monthly subscription bag beauteque have started,I've bought the big bundle so join me for a year of beauties coming this way.
