MY BOX



UN BOXED 



MENU INFO CARDS,



NADU SKIN THE FIRST LOVE PACK.
OK this is a ladies pack and a men's pack ,these are masks for well you know down there.i mean it doesn't matter how many times you tell memebox we don't use perfumed products down there ,they just hit us with another thing.the info says to treat your y zone definitely not for facial use.these masks moisturise and treat the most sensitive uncared for part of the body. formulated with lavender water and nutrients,
so the women's one is like a giant sanitary towel you wear for 20 minutes.and the men's yo just slip it on over for 10 minutes.
still not sure what to make of this yes it did get us all going omg when we opened the box and read up.
the ladies pack is pomegranate scented and the men's is black raspberry scented.
i can find no information on this company anywhere .so i can't tell you anymore.




ABALONE CRYSTAL DOUBLE EX CREAM
now i know abalone is a real hit and miss as many people are against the use of it, i know huge cries were given out when the soup got fashionable again the other year and to be fair it is tasty, but such good nutrients and things are in abalone.
so the abalone crystal double ex cream is made with fermented abalone, black bean extract and watermelon extract.that benefits the skin the abalone comes from  the southern coast of  of Korea.with the rich sources of minerals,proteins,fatty acids, amino acids this will be great for ironing out wrinkles and fine lines ,help revitalise skin and add some colour back in to tired ,drawn skin.
the cream is a soft gentle smoothing cream ,it sinks into the skin with ease and makes the skin suck in every bit of moisture it can grab.the skin felt silky soft and plumper.,used day and night after a week my skin was benefiting, so this is my night cream now. for a few months.




PUREPLUS +COCOON RETURNING TONER.
i love a good toner i do ,i wish we would get more in boxes to be honest.
so the pure plus is designed to replenish and control excess sebum,remove dead skin and brighten up crap skin.i like how the witch hazel  and vitamins in the toner pepped the skin up ,removed all traces left on the skin from my cleanser and made my skin feel clean ready for me to add essence and cream on to the face.


SHARA SHARA SECRET MAGIC LIPSTICK, IN GREEN TO PINK.
Right i was so happy as i wanted the blue or green colour to start with and my box said green ,whoop whoop but then my felt popped and left.
so the secret colour transformer lipstick,it changes colour according to the lips temperature ,its enriched with creamy avocado oils and helps keep the lip moisturised.

so this is what i got. on opening the bullet flew out of the tube,it was neither green but a off coloured grey. and very soft ,i can't actually use it to swatch as i tried to put in the tube and it was starting to snap. not happy as it was a product i really wanted to love and try.gutted.


DR . MJ, MOISTURE BOUNCE AQUA MEMORY BB SPF 30
OK i really really love this product even though its way to dark for my vampire anaemic deathly skin but I'm mixing it with my face cream and it seems to be working.
this has a weird belly cream consistency it blends and soaks into the skin quickly and you can get such a good even coverage all over, it doesn't rub off onto clothes and is a great addition to my collection.



PUREBESS HOT STYLING HAIR FIXER.
this is a hair fixer that you can use as often as needed  through the day,a non sticky formula its easy to use thanks to the mascara wand applicator, you know when that stubborn wisp of hair falls down over the eye or by the ear and gets right on your tits. well brush this fixer through that hair and then it sticks in place with the rest of the hair where needed. 
a great product for on the go or to control your hair style .
I've had a go over the weekend with this ash yes it does work ,to be honest my hair is ultra fine and very short but it worked a treat.



so this box ,well the masks got the omg on opening up and reading about.
the toner didn't have omg as the ingredients are normal so that was more a wtf,moment,the abalone is an awesome ingredient in any thing and the cream is gorgeous and light and silky and fresh.
the lipstick was omg i got the green then went wtf omg its blinking broken gutted  to be honest wanted it loads.
the BB cream is an odd belly texture but a nifty little number and i do love it .the hair fixer is omg how awesome a product different but good and it works, so it was a fairly good box overall and it certainly got people talking over certain contents.

ABCDEat december box,

hello again 
today i am bringing the December box of ABCDEat ,Asian can do eat box.
this is getting shipped to the UK so quick genie is shocked ,
this box took under a week to reach me.
so a little about this box you will not find ANYTHING from china in these boxes the girls are dead against it.
so here is the extract i wrote about the box background from last months box.
well ABCDEat or Asian box can do eat is a company thought and designed and made of from the ideas by 2 young women ,
Genie was on her honeymoon and bumped into Joey they took photos,met up while on holiday and got on well, afterwards they met up at various times and on birthdays ,during one meet up the subscription boxes come up in talk and the idea of wanting to do a snack box was discussed after dealing off endless ideas to each other the idea was set . all brainstormed out they needed to try and think of a name for the box service ,the hardest part. well meeting with bankers ,companies etc happened and another baby was born and then the box was born shortly afterwards.

the company is ABCDEat, found on Facebook, instagram, 
it stands for Asian box can do eat (it).
ABCDEat is based in Hong Kong,they are an online store  that gathers all the snacks from all over Asia. they source the items  which are readily available  in the international city ,
packed into a box  and sent to your door.
this is a monthly box subscription box,but they will be doing premier boxes and one off ones too.
ordering is safe and easy.and ships worldwide.
all payment is done via paypal, shipping is done by airmail,
the box is $15.00 +6.99 for airmail 
or
                 $15.00 +9.50 for registered mail and tracking,
they ship worldwide .

OK for my DECEMBER BOX.

MY BOX  all well wrapped inside.


UN BOXED 


INFO CARD,


CRAYON SHIN-CHAN DIY CANDY BEER DRINK.
from the famous cartoon crayon shin-cyan ,this is an orange juice  that fizzes and foams like beer,
now i have said I'm not opening this as I'm going to give this to my son to drink either Xmas eve or for Xmas day i think it will go onto his Christmas stocking.
simply add water into the cup add the powder once it fizzes add 2 ice cubes,and you now have candy beer.


FUDGEE BARR. CUSTARD/CHOCOLATE.
a great snack on the go.these are filled with custard and chocolate and the filling is soft and creamy.


SOUR PLUM CANDIES,
sooooo well there sour OK,real sour.
preserved plums are a staple thing in china, these are given a softer edge by having candy around them but don't be fooled for one minute let me tell you.
the plum still has a stone in so watch your teeth (if you get that far).
it did my tongue and mouth out, my son has taken 2 days to try and eat his. that will teach him to not get off his xbox, i told him he has to finish the sweet totally.i think what made these  so wrong is the thick maltose over the plum, but hey I'm thinking who to share one with .


YUHIN SHOCKING LOLLIPOP.
a grape flavoured lolly you dip in to popping candy love grape and loved this,


CALBEE SAYAENDO SNACKS.
green pea snack they are baked and in the shape of green peas, 
tasty treat in stead of eating nuts and crisps. for a change.


OYATSU ASSORTED RAMEN NOODLE SNACK.
i got these in last months box and they were SO weird but interesting.these are eaten raw and are pre seasoned me and my son have happily crunched on these watching a film.


KAMEDASEIKA LAMENNAIS CANDY,
traditional ramune fizzy soda flavoured sweets ,lemonade and they just melt in your mouth,


TOHO FRUIT JELLY.
i got  pink.these are cute ready made jellies on the go ,simply twist off the cap and squirt it in to your mouth, 
i liked the flavour and it was different to jelly flavours in the UK.


so a great December box, i have ordered the January and Chinese new year box, and the Christmas box ,so expect reviews of these boxes soon.

OKASHI CONNECTION ,NOVEMBER CANDY SUB.

today i am bringing you my latest great new subscription box that I've hooked up with.

once opened you go onto the members blog and there you will find out about all the products in the box.

MY BOX 

UN BOXED 






FRIED POTATO STICKS,
from Meiji these are fried potato fries .they are crunchy but tasty for sure . great for sharing.




KARAMUCHO,
the same as above but with a slightly spic flavouring ,in western terms not overly hot spicy just a gentle warmth.
crispy and tasty these are great mixed together in a bowl with the plain box.



CABBAGE TATOU,
cabbage is not the flavour don't panic, it refers to the shape ,these are really tasty puffy snacks and taste a lot like a stronger Worcester sauce flavour, the mascot is the famous tatou.




SAKUSAKU PANDA CHOCOLATE CAKE,
individually wrapped scrumy, these are chocolate creamy centres wrapped with marshmallow then sandwiched between 2 chocolate cookies ,chocolate smokes eat your heart out and yes mini panda shaped cookies.




ANPANMAN GUMI,
so the gumi sweets are stuck onto paper so don't waste time peeling the gummy off watt he whole thing.we got a pack of apple and a pack of grape flavour ,the apple ones are a delicate flavour think watered down apple juice ,where as the grape flavour is so good, .





CREAM SODA CANDIES,
hard candy with a traditional Japanese feel about it, cream soda in japan is usually watermelon soda with vanilla ice-cream.these candies have a soft chewy interior, but don't eat them all at once save some for later.




OTTOTTO CONSOME CRACKERS.
these are little crispy crackers which are shaped as assorted animals.and they taste of consume.




DORAEMON FLUFFY CHOCO SANDWICH.
doraemon is a robot cat ,and has been around for over 40 years in the anime and manga world, he can be found all over japan.
this treat is supposed to look like monaka, ,the treat is a crispy flaky wafer with a fluffy chocolate filling,tasty,crispy and sweet.but fun.




WATA-PACHI GRAPE 
this is the 3rd flavour featured in these boxes over the months.this is grape flavoured, it also incorporates  sour pop rocks,and god they are sour.a good flavour kick,



TSUBU- TSUBU FRUIT SOFT CANDY.
a jelly bean candy with star burst flavours, these are more intense flavours to be honest though.grape ,lemon,green apple,pineapple,peach wow these brighten a damp wet day up in the UK.





ADD ON PRODUCTS. 

KIT KAT.pumpkin pudding.
i love all the different types of kitkat flavours and these are no different.
pumpkin pudding is a great savoury sweet flavour, what makes these a little different is that you chill them down the put on a tray in the oven and brûlée them up, and taste so good ,creamy and melty pumpkin pie.




DIY KIT
panda bento set ,
i got this to send to someone as a Xmas gift. as her panda is her name.
looks cool i have tried these sets and are such fun, so I'm sure she will enjoy it.





so did i like my first OKASHI CONNECTION box . well hell yeah.
will i continue the subscription ,hell yeah. 
were the products enjoyable .      yes .
was it value for money,             yes.
i loved the idea of the add on option for the box a nice surprise for the month, 
the amount of candy and snacks compared to other subscriptions is huge, 
shipping was quick and payment by paypal is so quick and easy.
a friend kept spamming my blog comments to try this box out and i was gutted when i got greeted on signing up with the waiting list ,but in a week i was in and I'm in for good. epic box to start my okashi subscription with.
