Japanese and Korean beauty products seem to be growing in popularity here in the United States. I have not had the chance to try too many, so I was excited to review the nomakenolife subscription box. Each month’s box contains a different selection of beauty products from both Japan and Korea.
Here are some of my thoughts regarding each item that I received in the May 2019 No Make No Life Box.
When I first saw this tool I had no idea what it is for and the directions on the package are in Japanese. However, according to the little booklet that comes with the box, “An important part of Japanese and Korean skin care routines is using lotion and gently patting your skin until the product has been absorbed…”. Leave it to the Japanese to make this tool in the shape of a panda bear! Have you ever heard of such a tool?
I like a good lip tint. The color is sheer and lasts longer than lipstick. The color of this one is called No. 4 Espresso Jam. This color is a little too orange for my taste, but I do like the consistency and wear of this tint.
These are sheets that can be used on your body (not face) to stay fresh and moisturized. Grapefruit is my all-time favorite scent, so I was excited about this one. I like how these would travel well.
Love the packaging for this product. It would be so cute as a gift topper, don’t you think? I will have to take a bath soon, just to try it out.
I like how this cleansing pad removes makeup and gently exfoliates your skin. It is also nice that it is washable so it can be reused.
I must say, the packaging for this mask is not appealing to me. Why would I want to wear a mask that makes me look like I am in a horror movie? I guess it might be fun as a Halloween present. However, I felt like this mask does not go along with the whole vibe of the other products in this box.
I am always looking for a good mascara. I have heard of Etude House, but have not tried any of their products. I like how this is a true black mascara, and that it is clump-free.
These sheets use Alkaline electrolyzed water to help clean makeup brushes. I am sure I do not clean my makeup brushes often enough, so this is a good addition to my makeup drawer.
The nomakenolife subscription box offers a nice variety of products in one box. This box contained six Japanese products and 2 Korean products (I am not sure if it is usually more balanced between the two). The monthly box contains 8-9 items, and costs $35 a month with free shipping included. If you or someone you know is interested in trying out Japanese and Korean beauty products, it is worth trying out!
