I love beauty boxes, not a statement that will surprise those regular readers of mine I am sure, but just sometimes there is a beauty box which really catches your attention because it takes on the beauty box market, shakes it up and spits out something a little bit special - meet Tokyo Love.
Created by the amazing Jamie from BeautyRocksBlog, Jamie has created her own beauty box taking inspiration from her time spent travelling the world, each product has been hand picked by Jamie herself and she and I have a little bit of a thing for Korean and Japanese beauty and this box definitely reflects that.
Inside the beautifully designed box sits 6 products, some I have come across and used but the majority I haven't and it is this which excited me the most. The two products that I have used come from DHC, one of my favourite brands and one you will have seen featured here on numerous occasions.
DHC Perfect Pro Double Protection Mascara is incredible. Once applied it lasts all day with no flaking, smudging and it doesn't smear, even in the rain. It has a water-resistant tube-technology formula that lengthens the look of your lashes and best of all, you do not need a makeup remover because the tubes slide off with warm water and gentle pressure.

DHC Liquid Eyeliner EX brush-tip eyeliner pen lets you line and define like an expert. Easy-to-use, it dispenses just the right amount of smudge-proof liner and with the precision tip, it actually makes applying eyeliner quite an easy task, not that I am in any way shape or form an expert at doing it and it is rare I wear eyeliner. One the days that I do, this is my product of choice.
The rest of the products within the box are all completely new to me and ones that I have never come across or tried before and I have loved using each one.
Yumeguri Hot Spring Bath Powder - The Japanese are famed for their hot springs, known as onsen and it is one of the Japanese women's best kept secrets at keeping your skin looking younger for longer.
This bath powder is designed to transform your bath into a Japanese Hot Spring and I literally cannot wait to give it a try I am so intrigued.
Majolica Majora - Cherry Kiss. This is the sister brand to Shiseido and Jamie describes it as being extremely difficult to find outside of Asia.
Described as being a Honey Pump Gloss which is designed to plump and perfect your pout, it adds a lovely hint of colour to your lips, is non-tacky and does leave my lips feeling really soft and smooth.
Shiseido Senka Perfect Whip Cleansing Foam. I happen to know that foam cleansers are huge in Japan and this particular product is a best seller, so to see it in my box having read so much about it, is quite exciting.
Using a unique formula of white silkworm cocoon protein to guarantee optimal skin cleansing and hydration it works to dissolve makeup and draw out impurities from the pores. A small blob onto your palm quickly turns into a lather and it leaves my skin feeling incredibly clean. It works well really well on its own or you can use it as a second cleanse.
The final item in this box is the Kokubo Face Lifting Roller and it is a Japanese beauty secret known as Shiatsu. Shiatsu is a pressure point massage which can be done on both the face and body.
Using the roller you hold the handle gently and then make up-and-down strokes with it on the area of concern. I use mine after showering or bathing and I spent a good few minutes rolling this around my face, especially around my chin. The movement of the roller is quite relaxing ad perfect for that few minutes of your time.
