Sorry Cuties, I know this is way overdue. I really can’t say why but I put this off for a long time and now I’m WAY behind on reviews. I apologize if you were waiting.
For summer festivals or just those days when it’s too warm or troublesome to carry a purse, the Sanrio Drawstring Bag is a 18.5cm by 14cm length pouch with an adorable design. It is 100% polyester fabric, and features a double-sided design; this one in the pic, and the other is My Melody with the little blue mouse (like the one on the tag).
I like this little bag because I feel like it comes in handy for necessity items. To test it out, I threw in what I feel is necessary for myself, including: Cell Phone, tissues, pain medication, hand sanitizer, lotion, mini-flashlight, lip gloss, a few cough drops and candies...
(I told you I was a mess ╭( ･ㅂ･)و)
I give this a 5 out of 5. It’s practical, holds nearly everything I need, and oh-so-cute~♥
Next, something I haven’t done before for these reviews, I grouped items. Here, I put the cute animals together~
First is this official Blippo.com Neko Purse, It’s very high quality, featuring a leather-like outside with precision stitching and details, the inside is smoothly plush, and a well-sewn fish charm is included on the zipper, along with a ring.
On one hand, I don’t see this holding nearly as much as the Sanrio Pouch from above. But if you just want something cute to hold some small items, like change, lip product, candies, etc, it’ll get the job done. 3.5 out of 5. It’s bigger than a lot of the change purses we end up getting in these boxes, but the amount it can hold is essentially the same? The size feels a bit “excessive“ to me and I worry over its durability.
We also get these kawaii Sparkle Neko & Inu Stickers, sorry I didn’t get it closer- but as you can see we get a colorful mix of kitties and puppy-dogs, plus some ♥‘s and paws ♡＾▽＾♡
3.5 out of 5, I really want to decorate some things with these cuties! I will admit that a few of them look deformed though, and the sparkles are sort of scarce...
Lastly in the Animal category is the Amuse Korohamu Koron Cafe Plush. I love the Korohamu series, but the quality of this is on the poor scale. It’s soft and cuddly, but I noticed several issues with mine. It’s cheek blushes aren’t the same (one is a lot lighter applied), the ears are kinda weird looking, and there’s a lot of stray glue strands on the feet, paws, and cookie. It wouldn’t be fair to give it more than 3 out of 5- even if its super cute and cuddly.
Now, time for some delicious, non-suspicious looking foods! :D
Okay, I kinda lied. Only one item is real. Can you guess which one~?
If you said the cake, you are wrong! It was the Bourbon Petit Strawberry Cookies ♥ I was very excited by this item, not only as a chocolate chip cookie girl; but because I love strawberries. Not much to say about them, 5 out of 5. They taste like strawberry’s and chocolate. However, I still have some left and they have become a bit... crunchier, since opening them a few weeks ago. So if you ever get bourbon cookies be sure to eat them with vigor!
Oh, but don’t choke on them. Cutie does not endorse choking! Σ(･口･)
Moving on, we were lucky enough to get TWO Squishies/squishy’s, including a Blippo Kaomoji Squishy Charm, and the Soft Summer Cake Charm.
The Kaomoji is a steamed bun with a variety of faces you could get. It’s SUPER SOFT and a “medium speed riser“, for those curious. The description says it has a sweet smell, but it reminds me of kinako or soybean powder, which to some is good, to others might not be. I also noticed mine has some remnants of material, but they came off really easy and left no signs of damage.
5 out of 5. It might have been a tiny bit messy but it was perfectly fine to fix up. It’s cute, AND I even got an emotion I often type into whatever I do (｡･ω･｡)
We also get a delicate, but lovely cake Squishy charm. It features the same softness, but it also features a rubbery cream and a plastic fruit charm, along with sprinkled pieces which fall off like crazy! 4 out of 5. I really like it but I hardly touch it because I’m worried over the mess and don’t want to ruin it. It also smells weird...
As usual we also get adorable hair clips, this time Summer Fruits themed. Very simple, but perfect for that extra POP! I don’t like yellow- at all, but I actually like the contrast of colors here. You also also wear them on either side of the head, and despite their small size, I find them helpful for holding back some stray curls of hair that never want to behave for me.
5 out of 5. I’ve been wearing them every time I go out for that cute summer touch. But I have a feeling I’ll be wearing them even after summer~
Here we have a unique item, not only is it perfect for summer heat, but it’s pretty cute. It’s the Pastel Ice Cream Fan (also known as the Kawaii Ice Cream Manual Fan on the blippo website). Now, right away it reminded me of something...
The colors are there, even if it isn’t a precise match. This is a mechanical cupcake pencil I got from several boxes ago.
4 out of 5. I’m rating it right now because it’s easier. I really like this, it’s like a cooling toy o(^∀^*)o But with the good comes the bad...
First of all, this thing looks like a cupcake to me. I keep calling it that despite knowing the name. Secondly, while it works AMAZINGLY well (trust me on this, it works!), it makes a loud obnoxious sound that will bother people (or your pets) and you need to work it yourself, which can be a downside to some people ≧ε≦ I would recommend it though if you’re someone who gets hot easily and needs quick relief. It’s only $3.50 and comes in 4 color types too!
(I feel like I should point out that I was not sponsored to say these things. These are my own opinions and thoughts.)
This is the last item, an adorable Donut Neko Mechanical Pencil. And look, it’s PINK. I’m lucky to get my favorite color (Pink) over my hated color (yellow) in this box in most cases.
The pencil itself is pretty much an average pencil, with the addition of an adorable kitty, pattern, and charm ♥ 5 out of 5. It’s cute, and sure to show-off your love of cuteness~ Also, it has the tiniest, adorable eraser. Just be gentle with it.
♥ Cutie Ranking ♥
Content - 4 out of 5. I think I liked it even better than my last box, but I try to point this based on my ratings.
Quality - 4.5 out of 5. The only really problematic things were the Squishy. I loved them both- but one was fairly messy and had to be picked at, the other makes a mess.
Total Rank: 8.5 out of 10 Cuties. The items were definitely favored compared to the last box. I didn’t see an apparent theme (the image shows hamsters, we got a few summery items...) so I didn’t count that in my scoring. This was a pure box of cuteness ♥
♥ Cutie Scale ♥
1. Cake Charm - I know it might not look like much- but it’s just my top choice. It’s troublesome but I still love it’s design!
2. Squishy Bun - The :3 face just won me over since it’s one of my favorites~
3. Summer Fruits Clips - Simple but full of POP!!
4. My Melody Sanrio Pouch - Very practical, but again maybe generic? I love its soft colors.
5. Neko Purse - Sort of generic in my opinion. It’s very well made though.
6. Donut Neko Pencil - Sweet with an equally sweet charm~
7. Ice Cream Fan - I still think it looks like a Cupcake...
8. Neko & Inu Stickers - Again cute, but I felt like the messy detail on some of them sort of ruined them a little.
9. Korohamu Plush - It’s really cute, but fairly messy with details. Very soft though ♥
10. Strawberry Cookies - Little and cute~
Okay Cuties, that does it for another review, I hope you enjoyed. Remember, if you would like to purchase any of these items then check out the blippo website!
I promise to have my next review, July’s Kira Kira crate very soon. I already took the pictures and I’m going to try to get it up before Friday. Until next time, stay summery Cute!
Honestly it was very silly of the fact that this cake wasn't available but someone dmed me and let me know they were interested so of course, this is past due. Expect to see it in shop soon!
