From Japan Crate comes Kira Kira Crate, a box dedicated to Japanese beauty! Kira Kira means “to sparkle” and with this box full of makeup, skincare, and other tools from Japan, you will sparkle as well! I’ve always loved Japanese cosmetics, but they are extremely pricey. Even the drugstore lines, adorable as they are, are costly to import. There have been a few boxes that have tried to do a J-beauty box, but it really is cost prohibitive, so I’m very excited to see what Kira Kira Crate has in store!
DEALS: Save $3 on your first box! Use coupon code HELLO.
The booklet included with the box has a brief welcome letter, a list of the products included, and additional pages give English instructions for each product.
Fluffy Bow Hairband — HOW CUTE IS THIS??? I’m dying. It’s so soft and fluffy! It’s a bit tight on my head but I think that’s intentional to help secure hair back away from the face.
Pure Smile Sheet Masks — In Honey and Vitamin. I like the Pure Smile masks because they fit my face pretty well. Not perfect, but they’re comfortable to wear.
Hydrogen Bath Ball — A delightfully fizzy bath bomb. I love taking baths and this will definitely get used.
Pure Smile Skin Toner — A hydrating toner with collagen, vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid.
Magic Lip Tattoo in Nude Pink — This is one of those lip glosses you peel off to stain your lips.
Doraemon x Hello Kitty Lip Cream — A clear/untinted lip balm with the ever kawaii Hello Kitty and Doraemon!
Here are the products unpackaged.
I did try the lip tattoo. You are meant to apply a thick layer to make it easy to peel off, but it smells unpleasant and has a strange cooling feeling on the lips. I waited ten minutes then was able to peel it off. The top lip came off in one piece but the bottom dried irregularly and took some scraping to remove. The stain left behind was very faint. I wasn’t super impressed but I think if you have smoother lips it would work better!
It’s been a while since I reviewed Kira Kira Crate and I like their boxes. I’m super excited by the hairband, the masks, the bath bomb, and the lip balm. They have changed the packing box to be larger and flatter, and unfortunately it got covered in customs forms and stickers!
This was a pretty solid offering from Kira Kira Crate. The BB cream was a great addition as a makeup item and I’m excited about the bath items personally. The soap smells amazing and the konjac sponge is so cute!
