| MINISO | Sakura Blossom Collection Haul🌸

Spring is almost here which means sakura season is getting closer and closer. We all know we love sakura goodies here so I was super excited when one of my friends told me Miniso would release the Sakura Blossom Collection. It is not a super new collection cuz they started selling some things last month but I haven't seen everything in stores yet. The things you find can also depend on the store you visit.

I do want to get as many things as possible but I also wanted to show you the few things I already have so, I guess we'll divide this collection posts into parts. Hehe.

Let's start~!! 🌸

First, I got 2 organizer boxes. They are made out of this kind of thin plastic material (dunno how to describe it) and they are foldable. The only down side of that is that they wrinkle easily. 

The only came in withe with pink flowers and, they are pretty big: 36cm x 26cm x 22cm.

The picture doesn't show but they also have pink handles on both sides.

I think they are great for storage and look cute at the same time. I defo want to get more!

Then I got another container thingy. This one looks like a small laundry basket. It is 18cm x 18cm x 20cm. They also had a bigger version but I didn't buy it cuz, I already have a laundry basket. I might get it later too tho~

It is made of the same material as the previous boxes but the print is sligthly different and the colors are a little stronger. I think it's prettier and less wrinkly.

Thing is, I already used the other 2 boxes but, I haven't found a good use for this one. Suggestions are more than welcome! Hehe. 

I also got face towels!

And I actually needed new ones. I was planning to buy them from Miniso anyway, cuz there's where I usually get them and, I was lucky enough to find sakura ones! They are 25 x 50cm, again, pink and white and they are super, super soft.

They come in a set of 2 towels for a very good price. 

Something I do want to mention is, the fabric is not really a towel fabric, it is polyester (not that I know much about fabric), but they absorb great!

Lastly I got the cutest headband!

I got the pink band with white flowers but, they also have a white one with pink flowers. Both were really pretty. This one is made of a thin, towel like fabric.

I love the bow detail!

I like it because it is not super tight like other headbands I have. (Yeah, I have many more). I basically bought it to use whenever I wash my face, apply a mask or even do my makeup. It is a very cute way to keep my hair off my face when I do it. Hehe. 

This is how it looks on

And well guys, this is everything I have so far, I'll make sure to show you if I end up getting more goodies anytime soon!

See you next time~!! 🌸

MINISO | 🌸 Sakura Hydrating Lip Mask 🌸 |

It's no secret I am a sucker for sakura goodies and I love it when people give me something sakura related. That was the case with this Sakura lip balm from Miniso that one of my best friends gave me earlier this month.

The Sakura Hydrating Lip Mask comes in a transparent pot with a pink lid. The lid has this higlighted sticker with sakura flowers. It is super cute! It contains 8g. of product.

The packaging was super pretty too. All pink with Fuji-san and sakura flowers on it~ I didn't take a good pic of it before opening it tho. So here we have a screenshot I took while editing a vlog. I really wanted to include it here. 

It is made with sakura extract and claims to soften and keep your lips hydrated. It has a very sublte sakura scent that becomes just a little stronger when you apply it on your lips. I appreciate the fact that it is subtle tho, I'm not a big fan of strong scents on my lips.

It doesn't come with an applicator tho, so you have to apply it with your fingers. This is helpful because it helps to warm up the product a little before applying. 

The texture feels a little thick at the beginning but it's not annoying or uncomfortable and, it's not sticky at all.

Even tho it doesn't give you a glossy finish, it does keep your lips soft for a long time. I also wanted to wear it with some lipstick on top and it works well (at least with the ones I've tried).

I've been wearing it over night and I always wake up to super soft lips. All in all, it is a good product with the perfect size to carry around with you, it's pretty to look at and, does the job.

Lipton Sakura Tea 🌸

Spring is pretty much here  and that means it's Sakura season in Japan. As a sakura and Japan lover, it was exciting to find this tea. 

I believe it was last year when I saw people sharing this Lipton Sakura tea on Youtube during Spring in Japan and I was very curious to try it but I couldn't find it anywhere. A couple of weeks ago, when I went to a mini expo thingy wiyh my friends, I found it in a stall that had many cool imported things from Japan and, I had to get it.

I have to mention the presentation cuz it's really cute! The tea comes in a resealable pink bag with sakura flowers.

The package comes with 12 pyramyd shaped bags and smells very floral once you open it.

I don't know why I thought the tea would have a bright red color but it is more like a brownish red. Also the smell changes completely once you prepare it.

In my mind the taste would be as floral as it smells but, I was very surprised when I tried it, it does taste like cherries. To me, it tastes like a tutsi pop, haha. Maybe it's not the best way to describe it but it is a very unique flavor.

Usually, I like my drinks to be sweet but, I've tried it with and without sugar. Just to taste both options. And I have to say both are pretty good.

  And since the weather is becoming a little warmer, I had it cold too! 

Even tho this tea isn't easy to find over here, I think the price was pretty decent compared to other tea I've seen.

I'll defo buy more if I see it again, it is really is worth trying. 

🌸 Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Antibacterial Gel & Cream 🌸

Not long ago, my friend Ceci (Jun-chan!) gave me a housewarming gift in which she included some sakura goodies from Bath & Body Works. They are the Japanese Cherry Blossom PocketBac Hand Sanitizer and the Japanese Cherry Blossom Shea Butter Hand Cream.

I love everything Sakura so, these are just perfect! They have a blend of  Sakura, asian pear, mimosa petals, white jasmine & blushing sandalwood. The scent is pretty strong on both which is cool for an antibacterial gel and, the smell lasts for a long time.

Even tho the cream might look a little thick, it applies and absobs nicely, leaving your hands super soft for a long time.

They have the perfect size to carry around with you and they are really pretty to look at! I've been really loving these two.

I belive they have many more products from this line that I'd defo like to try soon. 🌸

🌸 Sakura Haul 🌸

This quarantine I've been buying online a lot and I accumulated a few sakura items so, I thought it was time to do another haul. Cuz yeah, I still am sakura obsessed.

These things are from different stores such as AliExpress, Shein and Cosas Kawaii y más. I'm actually waiting for other things to arrive but, I'm not sure how long that will take.

Let's take a look at what I have so far...

🌸 Post-it

Cherry Blossom Dream
The first one is a cardbord box with 6 different sticky notes. I like it because the box is actually really thick and strong. Each block comes with 80 sheets in diferent sizes, deigns and colors.

Sakura & Usagi
These ones are absolutely adorable. Especially because they have my two favs: sakura and usagi.
They come with 30 sheets each and, the designs are very Japanese. Love them!

Time Machine Memo
It comes with 6 post-it notes and 3 different designs. They have more realistic pics so they look more delicate, in a way.

All post-it sets are from Cosas Kawaii y más. They always let me know when new sakura items arrive. I haven't used them much yet cuz I think they are too pretty to randomly use them. I'm waiting for a special moment to do it.

🌸 Earrings

They are from AliExpress and they were super cheap. Of course they are not gold but they look really cute and girly. They had a longer version that I kinda regret not getting. Oh well~ These are 4.5cm long.
They are not heavy and the material hasn't given me any weird reaction yet so, it's all good.

🌸 Workout leggings

I live in leggings sicnce the quarantine started and I really wanted to get new and pretty ones. I know this high wasted leggings are supposed to be for working out but I don't really wear them for that, hehe.
They are also from AliExpress. The only thing I'd change is the size, I bought a medium size and I think they are a little loose on me.

🌸 Fairy lights

These lights are from Shein and they are the cutest lights ever. I wanted fairy lights for a long time and I fell or these when I saw them.
They are pretty when you look at them in day light but, they look even better at night when you light them up.
They didn't come with batteries, and they use 2 AA batteries.

So, those are the things I have so far, I think I'll leave the rest for another post, whenever they arrive. I'm happy with the things I got rom AliExpress but, I just hate the waiting!

🌸 Sakura Stationery Haul 🌸

Hey there!

As some of you already know, I loooove stationery and I am Sakura obsessed so I thought it'd be a good idea to share with you some of my Sakura stationery.
It's not really easy for me to find sakura stuff, that's why I'm excited to share this. Not everything is new and everything is from different stores. I've bought some things and others were gifts from friends and family who know these are always must haves for me. Hehehe.

Let's start!

🌸 Punchers:

I'm pretty sure they are one of the first things I got. I bought them separately from Maria Lucrecia Taller and I have 2 sizes. They are great for decorating or making cute confetti. You can always use fun paper to create different sakuras.

🌸 Sticky notes:

These were gifts from my sister and she actually got them online. The first ones are just the flowers in different shades of pink and the others have cute animals with the flowers. Since I haven't seen sakura sticky notes in stores yet so, I try to use them wisely. They are both from ZAOMO and come with 20 sheets x 4 designs.

🌸 Pink pen:

I found this at Expo MAGYC a while ago. I remember it was a little expensive for a pen as simple as this one but I still felt I wanted to get it.
It says "Sakura Saku" which means "cherry blossom flower" (I think~ I may be wrong) and, Idk I think it's really cute.
Surprisingly, the ink is not black or blue... it's gray!

🌸 Stickers:

These are both from Mind Wave and they were gifts. The first ones are sakura and Mount Fuji stickers my sister gave me. The texture is really soft, almost velvet like. The flowers come in two colors: peachy pink and gold. Since they are older than the other ones, I've been using them more but still wanna use them wisely.

My friend Lu gave me the other ones. They are from Yoyoso and have cats and sakura (two of my favorites). The flowers come in 3 shades of pink and the texture is different from the Mount Fuji ones, these are a bit thicker but, idk how to descibe the material.

I love both so much, they are adorable!!

🌸 Washi Tapes:

These 3 are from Mumuso. I think I got the 5 sakura washi tapes they had but I gave 2 away.

First we have the Sakura at Night Masking Tape which I think it's part of a collection cuz the others I had, had the same name. I kept the pink but there was a black and blue one too. This one is 15mm x 7m. And I think you can actually write on it.

Next we have the Gilding Washi Masking Tape Pink, which is 15mm x 5m and it has pink, white and silver sakura on it. This one is a bit more waxy(?) and super, super cute!

And the last one is a Masking Tape - plant, which looks more like sticky petals to me. I looooove this one and it was the most expensive of the 3 but, defo worth it. Even tho it comes in a tape form, it's filled with sticky petals over each other that you can use as you like. You can make flowers using them or use the petals separately. I think it comes with 100 petals.

🌸 Notebook:

I am in love with this one. It's not like I needed another notebook but, I couldn't help myself! It is also from Mumuso.
It is pastel pink with gold flowers and and creamy striped sheets. The cover feels like a very soft fake leather and it is just too pretty to look at.
I just want to find a good use for it. Any ideas?
I wanted to find how many sheets it has but I couldn't find it anywhere! I'd say 100 but, I'm not sure. Can't say anything about the paper quality either cuz I haven't used it and to be honest, I'm no expert on that.

And well, that's it for my Sakura stationery haul. I'm still in search of more cute (and sakura) stationery so, you can expect more hauls like this in the future.
Also, let me know if you'd like to see more of my Sakura collection even if it's not stationery related.

I'll see you next time!!
