OmNomBox June 2015 Unboxing/Review 💕

Happy June Everyone :) I decided to try out a new subscription box called OmNomBox! A Japanese/Taiwanese/Korean Snack box. For $25 per month, you get a box full of snacks and treats right to your door, and the concept is just so cute! (*OMNOMNOMNOMNOM)*)

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪

The cool thing about this month is that it came with a bonus kawaii item to celebrate their 6th box ^.^ I follow these guys on their facebook and they work very hard each month to put these boxes together with yummy OmNom worthy snacks and treats! Each month they promise a drink to go with everything :)

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪

Hey Song Sarsaparilla

Description: "You've never had root beer like this! Sarsaparilla is actually an old drink common in the old American West, but this delicious soda has taken off in many Asian countries! In Taiwan, Hey Song's version of it in particular is very popular."

This is a Chinese Root Beer, but I'm waiting to drink this :) I have to hide it though, my brother loves Root Beer flavored drinks more than I do! xD 

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪

Chocolate Banana Pocky

Description: "This year Pocky introduced Chocolate Banana as a BRAND NEW FLAVOR, and you get to try it! The creme on top is banana flavored whereas the stick portion is a chocolate biscuit. A great pairing, and a delicious treat to eat anytime!"

Awww Pocky :3 It's like seeing an old friend again. I used to go to Cub with my friend Tayllor and we would get Pocky, Hello Panda, and Ramune because those were the only Japanese snacks available in murrica. This is such a unique flavor! When you first open the box you get a wif of banana and it tastes good! I found myself constantly reaching back to grab another. 

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪

Matcha (Green Tea) Oreos

Description: "It was bound to happen. Japan loves 

Oreos AND Matcha (green tea) flavor, so this snack 

is a perfect match!"

Yummm!! As you can see these are puffy and soft Oreos that are stuffed with cream, in this case green tea flavored cream. In a blind taste test I'm not sure if I would say this is green tea, but its definitely unique flavored, and definitely delicious! I love me some soft cookies, especially Oreos :) 

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪


I-MEI Puff Snacks

Description: "This snack has a light puffy, fluffy, tasty

exterior filled with a flavorful filling. Each OmNomBox

has either Lemon or Chocolate."



I received chocolate :3 these definitely have a unique texture to them, very puffy and fluffy indeed. The inside tastes similar to Nutella, but its subtle. I personally think they're okay. Good for a light dessert ^.^


₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪


Choco Snack

Description: "Japan loves corn, and it loves chocolate too. And they also have a knack for pairing flavors they love. Chocolate covered giant Cheetos? Weird. But also tasty, crunchy and chocolatey!"

I love Cheetos! And I love chocolate! :) So I think I'll love these. The thing about OmNomBox is that they always include 2 individual sized snacks so you can either have a double portion/serving or you can share with others ^.^

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪


Sanritsu Heike-Pie

Description: "This snack has layers of flaky pie crust, sweetened then topped with liquor-filled raisins! Great crunch and great flavor!"

This definitely looks like pie crust :) I think I would of liked it more if there was also like some kind of pie filling inside it, but I still haven't even tried it so I cant say that. Liquor soaked raisins? Fancayy. 

(sorry i had to ;D )

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪


WASABI vs CHILIBEE!!!

Description: "Spicy chips?! Yup! And Asia doesn't mess around when it comes to spice. Every OmNomBox will come with either Chilibee or Wasabee chips! We can't decide which is better! Did you enjoy yours? Show your support for #TeamWASABEE or #TeamCHILIBEE !"


Ummmm....#TEAMCHILIBEE!!! Yuuuummm. I was so excited to try these I opened it right when I saw them. Chips are my weakness...You can say I'm definitely more of a savory snack kind of gal. These are SPICY! But in a "I want more" kind of way. I hope OmNom continues to add chips and other savory snacks to the mix each month. I'm glad I received the Chilibee flavored ones because I'm not a fan of Wasabee. Therefore....CHILIBEE wins! In my book at least ;)

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪


Morinaga Hi-Chew

Description: "Unlike fruit chews in the USA, Hi-Chew 

contains no artificial colors or flavors, and it super

delicious! Every box gets two random flavors!"



Well seeing as I can easily drive 10 minutes to a Target and get my hands on Hi-Chew quickly, I'm not super stoked to get these. Hmmm....well at least these are my 2 favorite flavors :) I personally like Hi-Chew over Starburst. Yummy flavors, juicy overflow in your mouth, whats not to love? 

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪


Kameda Age Ichiban

Description: "These little balls are actually a type of rice cracker, a common Asian snack. A very tasty and VERY crunchy snack. "

I tried one of these and the flavor is very similar to a cereal of some sort. Like a slightly saltier version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?? I'm still not quite sure but these little guys are VERY CRUNCHY just like it says. It's like the jawbreaker of the rice cracker family. 

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪


Strawberry Koala's March

Description: "A sweet strawberry cream with a crunchy cookie shell. A fun little snack for everyone!"

So Koalas March is pretty popular. I'm more familiar with Hello Panda, which is basically the Panda equivalent. Whether it's Koalas or Pandas, they are absolutely delicious. When you open the bag you instantly get a wif of strawberry goodness, and they fill your mouth with yummy OmNomness. Plus the Koala's themselves are sooo kawaii!! One of them was even listening to an iPod xD Love it! 

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪


Kuai Kuai Corn Soup Stick

Description: "This snack comes to us from Taiwan. This crunchy tube snack is EXTRA corn flavored, to try and mimic Taiwan's favorite soup: corn portage. Absolutely delicious!"

A giant tube-like stick that, again, tastes similar to a cereal thing rather than corn (although I do still taste corn in it). Either way I like it!! Like I said I'm a savory snack kind of gal :) So these kind of snacks are right up my alley!

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪


Champion Fried Cookie

Description: "Delicious fried cookie, a common Chinese snack. Each box contains either Almond or Peanut flavor."

I think I received the Almond flavor (not sure). I'm not super excited about this only because I prefer soft cookies over hard. Hard cookies in my opinion tend to be bland and hard to eat, but hey you never know until you try! We'll see how I like it when I crack into this guy.

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪


Bonus Kawaii Item: Chopsticks!

Description: "To celebrate 6 months of OmNomBox we are excited to send you all a staple of Asian life, the humble chopsticks, with cute kawaii designs! What design did you get? Share #OmNomBox!"

Awwww thanks OmNom Team!! ^.^ They really are kawaii!! :) I use chopsticks from time to time, especially with noodle dishes. But I only own one pair, so I'm glad to have another pair! I think these were made for kid's school Bento Boxes because they'e a little smaller but they are still easy to handle and even have little grooves at the end to help hold things easier. Excited to use these soon! :D

₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪

My overall thoughts are AMAZEBALLS!! I'm blown away with this month :) All the cute touches and variety of snacks give this box a 10/10 for me. Such a cute concept! To me what sets OmNomBox apart from other Asian snack boxes is not only the price, drink added and such but also the dedication of the team. They work hard to fill and send these yummy boxes every month. I'm glad I'm subscribed to them ^.^

*This box was purchased by me with my own money, all opinions are true and you guys need to subscribe to this okie?*

Thanks for reading! Have a nice day :)

Beauteque June 2015 BB Bag: "Sizzling Summer" Review and Unboxing ♥️

Hey loves!! My Beauteque package came a little early this month so I'm also able to review it early :3 (which is always nice). Spoiler alert: It's a good one this month ^.^

(*Pictures and opinions are my own, this bag was not sent to me. I payed with my own money because this bag is frickin worth it*)

:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:

"Temperatures are rising and we can tell, it's going to be a sizzling summer! Everything you need for the season of fun can be found right in this bag, from fruit-scented (and shaped!) skincare, to a nifty nail polish perfect for a poolside pedi!...sail through summer with the best beauty products around!"

-Beauteque Team

This month's bag came with a total of 7 products, all useful and adorable products if i might add :3 Plus a cute Paris themed makeup bag!! (Which I ended up giving to my sister since this fall shes going to Europe).

:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:

First off is the Strawberry Toxifying Mask by "Baviphat" (Value: $26!)

Description: "This deep cleansing wash-off clay mask helps to tighten pores, control sebum and give relief to troubled skin. Contains Strawberry and fruit acids full of Vitamin C that can speed up removal of dead skin cells and tighten pores. Antioxidants stave off signs of aging and protect skin. Apply to clean skin for 15-20 minutes then rinse off with warm water."

I looove clay masks :) This one in particular smells almost exactly like The Body Shop's Strawberry Body Butter (which I'm obsessed with) so it has that same artificial smelling starwberryness to it. Still delicious smelling and looking. The texture of this clay is very similar to the ever famous Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask, which is also one of my longtime favorites. I'm not familiar with Baviphat but I'm really impressed with how adorable their packing is for their products. It even comes with a little spoon to scoop up the product! Seriously, how can I get a job designing the look of K-beauty products?? xD  

:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:

Next is also by "Baviphat" and it is the Peach All-in-One Peeling Gel Mini (Value: $5)

Description: "Exfoliate, reduce appearance of pores, and brighten skin with this Vitamin C-rich treatment. Apply to dried-off skin and rub in circular, gentle motions until product turns into small flakes, then rinse with lukewarm water."

Not gonna lie when I first opened the bag I thought right away this was going to be a lip balm/scrub. Nope! I guess it's an exfoliating gel xD a jiggly moose like gel. This smells like you cut open a fresh peach, like a legit organic smelling peach. Mmmmm this makes me crave peaches. I feel like if I ever get pregnant, all I'm going to crave are peaches. Peaches and Watermelon ^.^ I've never used something like this before, but I know I'll for sure try it out in my T-zone. I not only have big pores but flakiness going on too around there :( sorry for the TMI. 

:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:

A product we could choose the color from was the "iCharming" Nail Polish (Value: $5)

Description: "Greet the season in polished style with a high-gloss finish nail polish. After removing old nail polish with the Tony Moly cotton nail ball and a polish remover, apply nail polish in vertical strokes to nails."

 (↑ Yeah I'll mention the Tony Moly thing last ;3). 

So basically we had to choose between 3 sets of nail polish, and then Beauteque would send us 1 nail polish from the set that we chose...(make sense?) I chose the green and yellow set because...well I wanted the green xD but hey, yellow can look great too! With a white dress and really good tan, mhhhhm! Plus if I ever needed yellow for nail art well here we go!

:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:

This next one is also by "iCharming"and it is the Witches Pouch Lip and Eye Remover (Value: $10)

Description: "Remove Lip and Eye makeup in luxurious comfort. Apply to a cotton swab and sweep gently across eye area or lip area"

Hmmm removes eyes and lips huh? Good thing I have backup eyeballs in my drawer ;) I kid I kid. Except one time I saw a Korean product say "will remove your pores". That was a good laugh xD. In all seriousness this product came at a great time, seeing as I'm running low on my Neutrogena Eye makeup remover. I like to soak up a cotton pad at the end of the day and just close my eyes with it lying on my eyelids ^.^ As much as I love applying makeup, there is no better feeling than taking it off after a long day. 

:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:

More awesome schtuff?? why yes :) this is the "May Island" Peach Hand Cream (Value: $6)

Description: "Smelling of fresh peaches this cream contains extracts of peach, apricot and Shea butter for your smoothest skin yet."

Cute packaging alert!! Avert your eyes if prone to cuteness!! Just kidding this product is so adorable you can't look away :3. This is a 3d version of the peach emoji, with delicious smelling smooth hand cream on the inside. And it feels sooo nice on the hands, even my brother liked it (lol). It's not totally an organic peach kind of smell like with that exfoliating gel, but it reminds me of the Peach Bellini candle from B&BW. Yummy smells all around in this bag!!

:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:

Mask time!! This is the "Tony Moly" Timeless EGF 

Second Skin Eye Goggles (Value: $7)

Description: "Offers Anti-Aging and Brightening powers, while improving elasticity of the eye area, leaving this delicate area refreshed and younger looking. Cleanse your face and pat dry. Remove film on back of patch and apply to eye area with the largest part closest to the nose. Leave on for 10-20 minutes and remove."

*looks at name* Goggles?? *feels packaging all over* Goggles!! What a cool concept :) This is why I love K-beauty. They come up with these ideas and packaging that exceed expectations. So actually right now I'm taking a summer class (accelerated Anatomy and Physiology :'(... ) So this mask will be my "finally done with this sh- !!" treat! (July 1st: almost there!!)

:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:

Last product in this bag is the "Tony Moly" Cotton Nail Balls!! ♥️ (Value: $4)

Description: "Remove old polish and prep for a new shade with this cleverly-packaged bundle of cotton balls. Pour a moderate amount of nail polish remover on cotton ball, then swipe across nails to remove polish."

Om nom nom nom :) cute!!! Never have I ever been so excited to own cotton balls like these! Kawaii to the max. My first reaction pulling this out of the bag was "*mini squeals*" and "oh! they gave us food in a beauty bag" xD.  I think for now I'm going to display this on my makeup stand because I have too many Target cotton balls to use up. But yaas I will use these in the future for sure ^.^

:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:••:۞:

I thought I was impressed with May's bag but this bag was absolutely great!! :) Lots of fruit products which I'm a huge fan of and it was sent out at a timely manner, which makes for a great subscription service!! <3
