Rilakkuma Meal miniatures Re-ment x San-x

 

A pretty cute set in general even though the concept is not unique (Re-ment has already came out with many pancakes, rice omelettes, flan and curry rice). One thing I've noticed about recent Re-ments is that they've been using stickers on the plates, thermos, lunch container & cups instead of printing the images directly onto the items. The edges of the stickers will eventually lose its tackiness and start coming off.

Re-ment X Sanrio Snack Mascot Keychains

This is one the Re-ment series that's worth buying the whole set because everything is so kawaii!! Even though these are sold as blind bags, they're are packaged in a pouch without any cardboard wrapper so it's pretty easy to determine each style by gently squeezing each pouch. So great for those who don't plan on buying the whole set but just don't squeeze so hard that the pouches are all crumbled or else it's difficult for the store to sell them. My favorites are the Chinese steamed pork bun and the ice cream cone. These keychains are the spongy squeezable so I don't really plan on using them as keychains because my keys might damage them. Plus, I don't want to get them dirty so most likely I'll hang one on my purse once in a while.

Hello Kitty Decorative Eggs from Formation Arts

 

From top to bottom: French Princess, English Queen, Greek Goddess, Arabian Dancer and the Chinese Empress. The eggs had quite some weight so they didn't feel like cheap plastic toys but the egg stands were bad. The egg stands were flimsy plastic that didn't hold the eggs securely and my eggs would tilt whenever there were just a slight movement.

Sanrio Small Gift Mobile Pop-up Shop at San Francisco's Pier 39

To celebrate their 50th anniversary, Sanrio is touring around the US with their mobile pop-up shops. They were at San Francisco's Pier 39 on Sunday. It was pouring in the early afternoon and luckily when I went their around 5PM, it was dry. I also found a parking space that was only steps away from the mobile shop!

If you're wondering why Hello Kitty is holding a gift box w/ Target's logo, this event was sponsored by them. After making my purchase, they will give you a coupon good for a free box of Hello Kitty bandages from Target plus a 20% off postcard at a local Sanrio store.

The Smart cars have also teamed up w/ Sanrio to create this Hello Kitty car wrap. I really like this. It's all over the car but it's not too overwhelming. The pics below are the 3 items I bought yesterday (2 coin purses and 1 wallet). From what I learned from the Sanrio staff, some many of the products are only available at the mobile pop-up store so they're pretty rare! The hamburger coin purse is my favorite and it's made by Loungefly!

Got my Sephora Friends and Family discount + Rock and Republic Cosmetics 50% off code

I just made my purchase online! Even though it's not Oct 22nd right now (it's now 11:35PM ) I decided type in the promo code (FF2010) to see if they will accept it. And they did! Now I just have to wait for my items to arrive!! Happy shopping everyone!

If you're interested in Rock and Republic's cosmetics, here's a 50% off discount code good at http://shop.rockandrepublic.com/ 
Rockcosmetics 
I received an invite from a friend where I can receive a $25 Rock and Republic credit if I purchased at least $75 worth of products. So I bought 3 eye shadows that totaled $84 ($28each). After entering the 50% off code, it was $42 and became $17 after the $25 credit. The $0.99 shipping and tax brought my grand total to only $20.38 for 3 eye shadows! So I got 3 eye shadows for less than the price of one! I immediately invited my friends to let them experience this wonderful deal!

Hello Kitty VS Traditional Hina Ningyo dolls from Re-ment

Set to be released this coming January. I'm interested in the Hello Kitty one because Sanrio had a multi-tiered set w/ all the Sanrio characters on each level but it was around $300. I'm assuming these sets will be much more affordable.
