I don’t believe I brought this up in the last review (it might have started in this one and I just forgot tho), but the booklet was recently modified. Now it includes a more “decorative“ page for the contest featured in each month, as well as pages for some beauty tips or tricks, and featured brands and products.

I believe this is an accurate depiction to how I felt upon seeing this:

(#ﾟﾛﾟ#) 

It’s a humorous looking Exercise Mask used to lift the face. It’s also a duck bill. Apparently it’s very popular, and it’s very easy to use (at least in comparison to most other facial exercise devices I’ve seen, this is also the least scary looking). All you do is insert it into your mouth and bite down on the knobs that stick out of the back 3 times in 10-second intervals. You only do it twice a day.

You’ll know its working if you feel any sort of discomfort or very small pain, which I did after the third try per-set. That’s the muscles getting their workout.

I’ve done as it instructed, at least three or four days in a row. I don’t think it made a difference, but there’s nothing actually saying how long this should be done that I know of. I also covered my face while doing it because I am very easy to embarrass >3< which sort of takes the joy out of it. But I did learn that it comes in handy cheering people up so I suppose it has it’s good points too!

It’s kind of like a weird toy for your mouth. I’d recommend it if you’ve ever wanted to try any sort of mouth toy or exercise piece, simply because it’s super-easy to use and makes for a fun accessory.

Next is a product from the brand Country &Stream. We’ve received a few products from them before (usually in a honey yellow theme :3), so it was interesting to see it’s also in Apple red too.

This is a Skin First Essence, a product that works best when applied after washing the face. Utilizing apple extract, the product absorbs easily into the skin and ups the effects of skin care product. It is recommended to use once a day for its full effect.

It’s very cute looking in my opinion, and this brand is a pretty good one. I’m not entirely sure if it does anything though. Like it says it does, but it’s not really something I can exactly see? I do like that the product doesn’t take long to soak into the skin though, and it’s barely sticky for a few minutes. It smells like a real apple too :3

I adore Hello kitty, and this adorable, pink Bath Bomb was no exception ♥ It was available in both pink peach and blue soap-scent. It contains hyaluronic acid and collagen to leave the skin moisturized.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

There’s not much you can say about a bath bomb- you know unless it has a prize or made your skin feel weird, or dyed it. This is a perfectly normal, kawaii bath bomb. The peach scent was very strong though, which can be a good or bad thing depending on preference/allergies.

I normally dread eyeliner due to my inability to use it. But when I saw how cute this one looks- I couldn’t help but fall in love ♥ This is a Canmake Lucent Sherbet Eyeliner. It is very versatile and made from a waterproof gel. It can be used as eyeliner around various parts of the eye, and blended for an eye-shadow (and probably more if you’re creative enough). 

I was delighted upon realizing it was coated in glitter as well. I also noticed it lasted for a good while on my skin despite rubbing it a lot to try to get it off.

I adore the color, the shimmer, the texture... I’d be practically endorsing this thing if I could just use it right. I’m not a makeup professional though, and I don’t know if I’ll ever learn how to use eyeliner. All I can do is keep practicing and try to make it work with what I can do.

Of course, when you include Sanrio characters you can never have too many, and here we have a My Melody Face Mask with red wine scent.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Typical face mask. I loved the packaging though, and it was neat how it opened from the bottom, rather than the top. My only displeasure was the scent- which essentially reminded me of rubbing alcohol. I never drank wine before (I rarely ever drink period), so I can’t say the scent was accurate. Though someone else said it was after they smelled it. It became tolerable after a few minutes.

Our final item is a “partner“ for the My Melody Face Mask, a Slim Cat Mask. This is made from silicone, which is a popular trend at the time in Japan due to its reuse-ability. Due to its tight wrapping it also helps increase the benefits from a face mask. It can also be used during a bath to create a warming, spa sensation due to it being infused with germanium and tourmaline.

Again it’s a weird item. But I love cats so I actually thought this one was kind of fun (even if I did get a few strange looks while wearing it). It wasn’t hard to put on at all like I initially thought it would be, and it held itself and the mask fine. It was actually pretty comfortable once I got past the weirdness behind it, and I like to believe it delivered what it said it would. 

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Quality/Pricing - 4.5 out of 5. I feel like the items are probably worth the price, if due to packing more than anything. We had a bunch of it, plus popular characters and brands don’t hurt either. 

Content - 4.5 out of 5. Again I really like them! I might have like one low score but it was mainly due to not noticing anything change or embarrassment.

Total Rank: 8.5/9 out of 10 Cuties. I didn’t count the theme because they didn’t exactly list one, but they said it was face-involved and clearly every item here was. I did like the products, I didn’t hate anything at all. It was a perfectly fine box, although I’m not sure I felt extremely amazed by it either? I’d say it was right in the middle.  

♥ Cutie Scale ♥

1. Canmake Sherbet Eyeliner - It’s adorable from top to bottom! I also adore the pink shimmering product.

2. Hello Kitty Bath Bomb - It’s a plain, basic hello kitty head when you get down to it. But I am obsessed with Hello Kitty so I appreciate it regardless~ 

3. My Melody Face Mask - The mask is plain but the packaging is ultra-cute. I love the French inspiration behind it!  

4.Cat Slim Mask  - Well I mean I love cats so I have a bias. It’s cute in a sort of... creepy way?  

5. Skin Essence - I love the simplistic red and white packaging. The small bottle is also really cute. 

6. Exercise Mask  - It’s a duck bill. Nuff said >3< 

here's the fic links (left to right):

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55118509/chapters/139758220 : enyu from nmnl

https://archiveofourown.org/series/4017430 : fugue au es

https://archiveofourown.org/works/59148205 : l&f!es

https://archiveofourown.org/works/61694185/chapters/157710637 : wg!sora

WHAT HAPPENS

- so wg!sora/es is the only person who would get things done. so i put them in 05's room. this is because 05 traps them in there for most of the time.

- l&f!es was assigned the blindfold but enyu threw a hissy fit because sthey wanted to be blind because "justice is blind".

- l&f!es and enyu will be fighting the whole time. they both have the egos of cockroaches that have been hit with a shoe and spite everyone because of it.

- f!es will be trying to cook. keyword trying. sora will be paying attention to them and trying to guide them but they cannot hear. that's why i made them deaf, so the cake would turn out horrifically.

- f!es also cannot hear enyu and l&f fighting the entire time which is a plus. neither can they hear the two yelling at them to stop putting 1 cup of salt in the cake mix. yes i said cake mix.

-f!es will ALSO crush a whole egg and make sure the shell ALL getsinto it. not like they can hear anything-

- they're all cockroaches actually: sora just got into a house that is strangely attached to them, and f!es has been hit with a shoe and instead decided to spite themself AND everyone. but mostly themself.

- they are in the backrooms because they all have wildly different settings

- the sprinkles are gay for l&f es. this is an inside joke.

- i wanted to put ps!es but it was too late. they could be stuck in shidou's room or their own room (they could have come out to help but decided not to because they're too busy being a lone wolf.)

- besides i doubt they would be very much of a help #broken leg #refusalToBeAroundPeople

- it's good that enyu is blind because they're gonna try to help less. can't strain their arm too much.

See, um. Ok. So. Essentially. Idk they just kinda showed up.p.p... They were a bit of an accident but people liked them so i ran with it!! I am fully aware that dissociative identity disorders are impossible to form after the age of 12. But, I suppose it was also kinda confirmed canon?? with the voices being controlilng of them and their identity? I HAVE NO IDEA TLDR DONT FLAME ME FOR THIS PLEASE ;(

This fic is set in trial three, as a what if before i knew ANYTHING about what was actually happening. Only Mahiru died, but Jackalope (ofc it's him) got a little too silly and kinda set es over the edge about it.

Enyu is Es' alter formed to protect them from the stresses of thousands of voices constantly judging them and the stresses of their job. I didn't really know what I was getting into, so sorry if I misrepresent things!!!

Anyways, what enyu knows how to do? Work. Just work. Nothing more, nothing less. They're the warden after all. It's their job. And all they want to know is that if they do their job, them and es become more safe. In doing so, they end up being more harmful. For example, when the mirror is broken and they split, enyu refuses to get treatment for the two of them for a while. It is only until they realize that their hand is too hurt, and they have to go for treatment, that they do so. (and es is too ashamed of what they have done to mahiru to do anything either. both of them should not be in charge of a prison let alonnneee a body.)

The fic is the push and pull between the two. Let me get into the relationships.

Enyu and the audience: It's complicated. They believe that the audience is their cross to bear, as that's what milgram has ordained for them. They use we/us pronouns to try and include the audience, but sometimes, it's also to include Es in it. like "cmon let's work!" and es is like "ur literally a fucking monster bro"

Enyu and Es: hooo boy. these two... well, they dont like each other? But enyu cares intensely for es. Think like an older sibling working continuous overtime for a kid's college fund except the kid does not want to go to college and also. something bad happened that the older sibling refuses to acknowledge. Enyu likes to try and comfort them, but when they actually start telling Enyu why they dont like them and milgram. That goes against Enyu's ideals, so they stop it and just kinda don't do much. Es despises Enyu. They kinda blame Mahiru's death on them both, but Enyu does not have the grief necessary and continues this cycle. Es also has passive suicidal ideaation so that's a really fun thing to add to the mess. Enyu believes they are the savior of them both but they are in fact not. they're probably makign things worse. Es believes Enyu has naught but bad intentions. kinda like mikoto and john in a way. And they never really fully acknowledge each other's existence.

Fun facts about the two!!

Es is like. regular canon es in a lot of ways. But, they're not being given any chance to grieve normally. because they feel like they're only furthering this cycle, because they know they're completing all the work... they cant get out of their room, they're not in control of anything, and it sucks. And theyre partially in denial about having an alter. so. um. they think they just black out and do that shit. 

Enyu is aware of es. they just think that es is a weak idiot who is too weak to accept milgram. But they have the conception that "oh i cna save them. I can help them. We will become one with milgram" and they do not accept constructive criticism.

but enyu also has a pretty dulled sense of taste. AND, combined with a big sweet tooth. they do not lose that. They would get a drink that's like 100g of sugar as a reward if they do their job rlly well and then es would come to front, see how unhealthy that shit is, and throw it out, and then enyu would totally not be really upset about that.

also enyu does not go by the name of enyu. they go by The Warden. but that's a mouthful. They prefer to have their title as their #1 label. and they don't mind "it/they" as pronouns.
