Some time ago I introduced kawaii 100 yen shops in Japan. Today I’d like to introduce you some of kawaii 300 yen shops in Japan. 100yen goods will be limited, but 300yen allows us more variety of goods to choose from, and they are all so cute and useful but they don’t look cheap.

I think they are most well-known 300yen shop in Japan. They have many branch stores in Japan. Of course I’ve shopped there from time to time. (After all it’s 315yen, including consumption tax.)

CouCou
There are not many CouCou stores, but I’ve been to the one in Daikanyama and found it so kawaii!

Zoom in picture…it looks fun, isn’t it?

Inside picture…so many cute stuff for all 300 yen each.

It seems they don’t have a store/company website. I’ve been to the one in Shinjuku.

Mikazuki Momoko
I’ve never been to Mikazuki Momoko store yet as their stores are not in my area. But they look nice from their website.

If you have only been to Daiso to seek 100 yen goods, or to Tokyu Hands or LOFT for more expensive goods, try 300yen shop!

While ago I wrote a post about 100 yen shop, where I was supposed to share these photos but I was forgetting. :p

Cute sponge x 3 set for washing dishes.

Cute picks for bento (lunch box)
These cute animal picks will make your bento look colorful, yummy and cute!

Cute sauce containers for bento. If you combine these with above picks…that’ll be cuter! XD

Hello Kitty clips for big and small plastic bags.
If you are fan of Hello Kitty, you’d love them for only 100yen!

Cute stamps at work?
I don’t know when we will have a chance to use things like this, but 3 kinds of stamp come together for 100yen.

Colorful inks at the bottom also look nice!

These kawaii items are available at DAISO in Japan, and they are for 100yen, of course! (^w^)

SWIMMER
various places in Japan

I know it’s too childish if I say that I still like small goods from SWIMMER. Most of the shoppers at SWIMMER are teens, early 20s, and moms with small kids. But I like SWIMMER since I was a teenager. I used to wear pajamas from SWIMMER and I still carry my makeup bag from it. There always two types of myself inside me. One says she likes something suitable for a big girl, while the other one says she still likes something sweet and kawaii! But I never fails to check out the store whenever I find it in a mall. XD

You can find a SWIMMER store at Laforet Harajuku, too. But actually SWIMMER stores are located at several places in Japan.

Sorry for my poor photos. (>_<;)

I’d like to share with you some nice video tutorials of making kawaii hair updos! If you enjoy long hair, you can try several styles introduced in her videos. It looks like some videos have English subtitles. She also shares information about beauty and cosmetics in her blog in Japanese. I wish I had such a long hair to try even one of them, but…you know it’ll take me many years to grow my hair long enough to enjoy these styles. (>_<)Ow!

Maybe you have seen this before, as one of her videos (below) was awarded the best “how-to sector” of Youtube Video Award Japan 2009. *applause*

How did you like it? Pretty? Too complicated?

Bonus cute video! This is so sweet!!

I decorated the top of a jam bottle with Decotti cream that is left over from my Decotti sets.  I’ve filmed myself how I did that (very simple though) and I’d love to share it with you here!  If you ever try Decotti, I’m sure you will have a lot more cream than you need for Decotti. Although Decotti doesn’t recommend we should use it on any objects other than Decotti because it’s not adhesive enough, I think it’s a waste if we just throw it away after Decotti.

From what I’ve experienced, I think it’s better you prepare an object you want to decorate on as well as additional rhinestones (Swarovski or crystal materials that you also can use for nail decorations will be OK) or clay sweets to make it look nicer. And do that right after Decotti. Even if you cover the mouth of the cream, it does get dry as time passes! If you make use of the Decotti cream wisely, I think you can enjoy more than what you paid for. Decotti itself looks expensive, but if you make some extra decorations with the left-over cream, you’ll find it was paid off. Well, that’s my thought. It’s all up to you!

In the video it was out of focus, but below is the picture of what I made.

How about the other one?

I bought a star shaped polystyrene foam for about 130yen at ABC craft the other day.
When I made this after the jam bottle, the cream was about to dry up! The mouth was totally stuck with dried cream, and so I had to cut the other part of the pouch to let the cream out. That’s why the cream here is not shaped in 6 stars or 8 stars, as the diaphram worked only if it’s set on the mouth of the cream pouch. I kinda put many decorations over the cream to hide the ugly shape of whip cream that I directly put out from the cream pouch. Some decorations are from my 30cm Christmas tree. :p I’ve finally used up 2 pouches of Decotti cream that is left over from my making Decotti macaroons and cupcakes.
