NMNL July 2019

Can't believe it's already mid-July. Time goes by fast when you don't want it to. I received this box end of June, took pictures then forgot about it. Ugh typical. I'm going to try and upload the other past boxes. Everything gets delayed when you live in a dark place. My next future place better have more lighting.


About the box
NMNL (No Makeup No Life) is a monthly subscription service that contains 8-9 Japanese and Korean beauty or skincare products. Starting price is $35 per month. It's cheaper if you sign up with a longer plan.

Disclaimer: I'm not sponsored. This comes out of pocket.


Theme: Summer Essentials


The Box



The Booklet








Prreti Pure White Milk Cream (Korea)



Face cream that brightens skins with natural ingredients such as milk protein extract, white flower complex and peach extract. Can also brighten armpits, elbows, and knees. I haven't tried this product enough consecutive days to see if it actually brightens skin. The scent has a very light "milk" scent.

Etude House Bling Bling Eye Stick (Korea)




Light creamy stick to add a little bling bling to your eyes. It's perfect to use for inner corner or under eye if you are into the Asian eye bag trend.

The Saem Yum Yum Lip Syrup (Korea)




The packaging for this is super cute. I received strawberry flavor. The other options were peach or cherry. This is not only a lip gloss but a lip tint so it stains even after you rub it off. It took a few hand washes to remove this swatch.

Kocostar Foot Moisture Pack (Korea)


The key points of this mask are: argon oil, shea butter, herbal and plant extracts. I haven't tried this one yet. I actually never tried a foot mask before. I really should as the callus on the back of my feet are getting really annoying. 

Sakura Blotting Paper and Bandage Set (Japan)



This set comes with 10 blotting papers and 2 bandaids. It's easy to store in your purse.

Choosy Air In Beauty Gummy (Japan)



This gummy supposedly makes your lips more plump. It contains collagen, calcium, hyaluronic acid, and dietary fiber. I got yogurt flavored one. The other option was peach and I probably would've liked it better. I'm not sure if this really works.

Hatomugi UV Milky Gel


This acts both a moisturizer and sunscreen. Keeping skin feeling hydrated and doesn't feel sticky. Recommended to reapply every 2hrs. 


Frill Makeup Pouch



Cute makeup pouch to carry summer essentials. 


Overall
This month's box definitely fit the summer theme. Everything tide together. You got the face cream that brightens, 2 in 1 moisturizer and UV to protect your face from sum, oil blotting paper for your sweat, lip plumper gummies, lip gloss for those plump lips, bling for your eyes, foot mask so you can show off your smooth feet with sandals, and finally a makeup pouch to hold everything. 

I believe this was the first time they gave edible beauty products. I wonder if they will be adding similar products or even those popular diet powders in future boxes.
