Like everyone else, I've seen ads online for all sorts of crates for every kind of interest or hobby possible, but the ones that really got my attention were the Japan Crates (Doki Doki, Umai, Kira Kira, and the original Japan Crate). Each one promises different category of goods from Japan, from snacks to ramen and the Kira Kira crate promises a crate full of beauty products from Japan for $29 a month. Beauty products and make up is something I've always been interested in and it seemed really exciting to get to try products all the way from Japan, so I wondered if it was really worth it to subscribe. After a few months of seeing the ads and stalking their instagram, I finally decided to jump in and give it a try :)

my first crate! |
Inside of the first box was a big bottle of toner that smells absolutely wonderful 💖💖💖 It has a really nice, refreshing mint scent that makes it even more refreshing and helps me wake up in the morning 😊😊😊 It also came with a little magazine that explains what everything is and how to use them, as well as pictures that customers have posted online, which I thought was a nice touch as well as very cool!
There were little wipes to help keep your hair from getting frizzy in the heat,
something that's super helpful in the Texas heat! Also cute Little Twin Stars blotting sheets to help keep your face from getting too sweaty or oily in the heat, as well as to keep your make up from running :) The only bad thing about the first crate is there was a lemon-scented shower gel that I couldn't use due to my citrus allergy, but I gave it to my dad who was more than excited to try it out and was just amazed that it came from Japan :D The crate also came with a menthol mask to help moisturize your skin while the menthol helps cool it and a bizarre little nose cleaning brush, which, I'll have to admit, I haven't used as it was just a little too weird for me. The rest of the items however, are more than amazing and have become a stable part of my everyday routine! The toner especially, has become something I love and feel like I can't live without! It's definitely helped clear up my skin and I even
believe it's made my skin softer ❤❤❤!!! The blotting sheets were more than helpful in this 100F+ heat with 60% humidity, since it feels like I'm melting faster than a popsicle in this awful heatwave. And I was more than happy to have those little wipes for my hair, since it has a lovely scent to it and keeps my hair looking nice :)
Given the price I paid for everything and the amount of products I got, I was more than chuffed, but decided to wait and see what the next crate was like before I made a final decision.The waiting was the only downside as I looked at all the posts on instagram and facebook and got more and more excited to try out the new products.
Each crate takes about two to three weeks to arrive and you get an e-mail when it first ships, so that you know to be on the lookout, which is both expected and nice. There are four different subscriptions options including paying month by month or every six months and up to one year with everything bundled into one payment. If you're like me, the month to month payment is the easiest to afford, although one can dream of getting a subscription and only having to think about it once a year lol

my second crate!!! |

The second crate came with just as many goodies as before, and just like the first crate, it came with a big bottle, but this time with a vitamin C toner instead of mint toner~❤. It also came with an aloe vera face wash that you can use in combination with the Bub Bub :3 and the coolest thing ever: a little package of dehydrated face masks that you add the Vitamin C toner.

The next thing to try out was the absolutely coolest thing ever: the dehydrated face masks that were supposed to turn into full size masks after adding some of the toner to them. As a huge fan of face masks, this was something I had to try out for myself!

It has a cute heart shape! |

If you're a beauty lover and want to try out new and exciting products every month from Japan, you have to try this crate! It's absolutely amazing! While it's a little more expensive than other make up and beauty crates, you can't deny that there's a coolness factor since the items are from Japan and you can't deny you get more than enough for $26 a month ♡. You not only get things like toners or facemasks, you also get cute and helpful little gadgets to use! While the Bub Bub Sponge might seem a little difficult at first, after the second or third use, you've got it down. The Little Twin Stars blotting sheets were both cute AND functional and something we could all use since make up and heat just don't mix. If you're still on the fence about whether it's worth the cost or not, you can also subsribe for one month and then cancel if it's not what you want, but I'm sure you'll love it and definitely be waiting excitedly for your next crate 🙂🙂🙂
