Made My Day

Last Friday my Package from Tokyomade arrived by courier.
There was loads of seafoam-green tissue paper,a handful of cool postcards (one of which had a 'thank-you' note written on the back) a cute eraser and stickers!




The Stuff I actually ordered was cool too:



'Jello' resin ring. Bigger than I was expecting (My Boyfriend reckons I'll sprain my wrist wearing it!). By: Honey Bunny



Resin necklace with tiny, plastic, glow-in-the-dark jellyfish.

Charming Bracelets

Last Christmas whilst standing by the till of a comic book shop in Toronto (Silver Snail on Queen st.) I noticed some strange little boxed sets by a company called Rement.

Rement are a Japanese company that make highly collectable minatures of nearly everything you can think of. I instinctively want to buy every single set I come across but then reality kicks in and I have to ask myself what exactly I am going to do with so many 12th scale miniatures. Seriously these things are so small you could end up inhaling them by accident.

To make a long story some what shorter my beloved cat died a few weeks ago so I was doing some window shopping on Etsy to make my day a little less miserable and I came across these from Mels' Boutique :



Yes those are tiny packets of sugar and artificial sweetner (Only the Japanese)

I bought them of course.

Visit Mel's Boutique for more (check out the plush telephone!)

Japanese Cosmetics that Gladden the Heart

Japanese cosmetics and their adverts have brought me joy:


(that's a little blackhead waving goodbye in case you didn't know)


B&C Laboratories peach lip cream and Peach hand cream. I own the lip cream and it is the epitomy of 'glutonous cute' (I just invented that this second)

The same company also do both the lip cream and hand cream in an orange:

...and an apple version





I am currently trying to get my hands on the Polynia choclate face mask:

The entire advert for this is hilarious. But the best bit is this gingerbread man warning you not to eat the deliciously chocolate scented face mask.

For the lushes among us there is the Red Wine Jelly hydrating face mask


Why can't Western cosmetics be more fun?
