No Make No Life box (December 2019)

Monday, February 10, 2020

There is a GIANT hole in the market here in Australia for beauty subscription boxes - sadly all the amazing ones in the US don't ship here, but I have been eyeing off No Make No Life for awhile as they are a Korean/Japanese one that does! Over last years Black Friday sales, they had an offer on Groupon that meant I could buy a one off box for only $17.50aud so naturally I grabbed it go give it a ago.
If you haven't heard of them, No Make No Life is a monthly sub box that contains 8-9 Japanese or Korean cosmetics and skincare. The occasionally also do some really cool bonuses so you can get an extra product with a code (follow them on Facebook for these).

So here is everything I got in my December box (which arrived in January). I'll put all the details of each item below. I particularly liked all the skin care items, because I can never have enough face masks, and the eye cream is lovely - can't tell you what's in it, but it has these metal balls in the head that make it feel so soothing to apply.
The rest of the items I'm not in love with, mainly because I feel a bit too old to be going around with glitter in my hair and giant green lashes. And the hand soap, although adorable to look at, smells and feels like every other generic hand soap out there.
So do I love it all? Not particularly, most of the items I will pass on to the younger members of the family, but it was a lot of fun unboxing it all. This is certain;y a box I will keep my eye out for more deals in the future - if it's every up for$17 again I would happily give it another go.
Visit their site here to check them out.

Etude House Tear Drop Liner
"Add some sparkle to your makeup look with this eyeliner from one of our favourite Korean brands Etude House. In your box you’ll get one in pink, beige or white."

Very nice colour, but quite sheer - I had to go over a few times for this swatch.

Champion Lash

"This month we’re taking glam to the next level, it’s time to be adventurous and try loooong lashes! Have fun creating a dramatic makeup look or wear them to a party. In your box comes 1 of the 11 random designs."

A tiny part of me loves how ridiculous these are. I think Halloween is the only time I an get away with them, but they are fun.

Elle Vie Whitening Eye Cream
"Say no to dark circles under your eyes! This Japanese whitening eye cream makes the skin around your eyes look youthful and flawless. The roller makes it easy to apply without using your fingers, no product will go to waste!"

My favourite item of the box - as I said above those little metal balls feel sooooo nice - pity I can't work out what the actual ingredients of the product are.

Glow Hill Makeup Morning Facial Mask
"Did you have a rough night? Use this morning mask to give your skin a boost in only 5 minutes! It includes all the base skin care that you need: moisturiser, makeup base and skin cream."

Glittery mask? Of course I am going to love this. Might not be the best quality, but sure is fun.

Champagne Hand Soap
"Glam up your bathroom with this luxurious hand soap. In your box comes a pink or gold champagne bottle design, aren’t they cute?"

This has to be the cutest hand soap, I just really wished it smelt like champagne or strawberries, or something other than plain ol soap!

Eyenlip Gold Peel Off Pack
"This golden peel off pack will make your skin glow! This pack removes excess sebum and includes keratin to keep your skin youthful looking."

Pretty standard facemask, but I do love the little squeezy package it comes in!

Sho-Bi Glitter Hair Gel
"Get your glitter on! In your box comes one of the 4 varieties of this festive glitter hair gel in party pink, dream blue, shiny silver or champagne gold."

Tiny pastel hearts and stars for your hair! This is extremely cute, but I just feel like I'm about 20 years too old to be wearing it.
