Love package from Japan! US-Japan swap part deux!


Woot!

First of all, I want to thank you, Ritsue-chan, also known as Momo-chan from my Bakery Story game on iphone :) Your love package really wow-ed me and I was jumping up and down non-stop when I unwrap items inside your parcel! 

どうもありがとうございます。律江ちゃんのプレゼントが大好きですよ!!

About a month ago, I suggested a swap with her and initiated a swap with her. Here's US-Japan swap part one!

A peek inside the EMS box when I open up the carton:



Wow, it's stuffed with cute plastic bag wrappers and cute Little Twin Star notes. 

I wish I have cute stationary like hers when I sent her my stuff last month!!



Unwrapping all the pretty Japanese wrappers, my table is full. Wow, this is quite a scene:



Spring time cherry blossom theme items. Momo knows about my love in pink cherry blossoms!



Next, Sanrio items. They all so cute that I don't want to use them. They are just too pretty and I can't find them here in the US!



And she sent me a selection of her favorite Japanese snacks. Emm, Meji and Calbee, I love them too! Aww, she is too sweet and considerate!




Next, the climax of the love package. Cosmetics!! She have sent me a variety of Japanese drugstore cosmetics for me to try, mainly in nice brown eyeshadows that I love. I will have a great time writing and reviewing them in my blog from now on!!




She even get me a back up of my HG Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner!  Yay!

I am so grateful to find her in my game! I have enjoyed so much with swapping with Ritsue and I am sure from now on, I will be doing more swaps with her!

And to me, it seems like I have found a long lost sister that have a passion for make up and cute stuff. And it's perfect as she is crazy for US cosmetics while I am crazy about Japanese make up. Perfect match!

Once again, thank you Ritsue!

US-Japan Swap!

Actually this swap should have happened over 4 weeks ago before the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan.


After the incident happened, I hold off the swap for a little bit in order to allow necessary relief supply to reach Japan first by not clogging up their already burdened up postal system.


The swap was initiated by Momo-chan, a dear neighbor of mine from the iphone app game, "Bakery Story."


We have been chatting on and off on each other's wall, and it developed into a back and forth email exchange. Both of us love cosmetics, and the funny thing is I am crazy about Japanese brands while Momo-chan is crazy about American brands. So we decided to do a swap a month ago.


This is what I have collected for her as of 4 weeks ago:



She is curious and interested about US drugstore brands so I grabbed her a few that have good reviews and great deals (such as the Physician's Formula Happy Booster Blush!!) Along with make up items, I have found toys for her 2 young kids as well :)

Since I hold off mailing her, 3 weeks later, the collection grew into a whopping 7+ lbs to Japan! (Boo for USPS service as packages of 4lbs+ will need to be shipped out as Priority... meaning it cost more for me!!!)


See how large the collection grew? Momo-chan and her husband is crazy about Nike t-shirts. According to her, they cost a whooping 3000yen ($30+usd) each over there. It only cost me $10 here at a discount store...

I also gave her samples of various perfumes and US skincare (like Kiehl's and Origins) for her to try out as well.

She should be getting this love package sometime this week. I can't wait to hear her scream!
