~~~~~~~~~~~
Lip dress Chapstick
First I thought this would have colour by the description on the packaging. It doesn't. It's just a generic cheap lip chap. I will likely bury it in a drawer for a rainy day. I wouldn't recommend this for any one. It's kind of oily and there are chapsticks you can get for a dollar that are better. Cute packaging but nothing fancy. It does have spf though which is nice.
Value: ❤

Derizum Moisture Cream
This is actually quite nice. It's it's not super thick and it moisturizes the skin without making you feel oily. It says it is good for sensitive skin. Its great for after washing your face. It's a little pricey to buy on it's own. The nice thing about Japanese products is you can buy in larger formats which makes things much cheaper.
Value: ❤❤❤❤

Dot Free Clay Mask
This I was a little afraid of trying. Peel off masks hurt and if you have sensitive skin can leave you pretty red. I've only done this once so I wouldn't say it's a completely fair assessment but it didn't irritate my skin and felt my skin feeling nice.
Value: ❤❤❤
~~~~~~~~~~~
Shishedo Perfect Whip Face Wash
I love shishedo. Their products are all reasonably priced and work great. This is no exception.It's a simple face wash comparable to the Naive one I recommend. I wouldn't seek it out again but I will definitely us it up!
Value: ❤❤❤
~~~~~~~~~~~
Meropura All in One Melon Gel
This I did not try. Unfortunately I am allergic to melon. I tried to contact Tokyo treat to find out if this contained any actual melon (on facebook and instagram) but not one would reply so I gave it away. I obviously cannot tell you if this any good.
Value: ❤

Overall
I wanted to do a bit of an overview since this is the 4th month I've gotten now. Also It is my last. The reasons are because for me the cons out weigh the pros. I also very much prefer Ipsy. I will have a review of them coming soon as well. If you want to check out them in the mean time click here.
Pros
-Best Valued Japanese Make Up Box
-Always give you at least your money's worth
-Try products from Japan you wouldn't normally know about
-Most Japanese products are great for sensitive skin and contain no alcohol
Cons
-Not directed to individuals - allergies/sensitives not considered
-Ingredients not translated
-No specials benefits for long time members or coupon codes
-Pricey compared to north american make up boxes (Ipsy is 10)
-Too many items you wont use (I feel like this is most subscription boxes)
-Negative comments on their facebook get deleted or hidden (this bothers me because it doesn't allow people to fairly weigh pros and cons)

I built my nerd shelf finally, lol no thanks to Ikea.(there is it's own nightmare). I would love to share that with you in a futures blog!
