nmnl is a monthly Japanese beauty subscription box by the brains behind Tokyo Treat and Yume Twins. They promise to deliver a Japanese beauty experience curated by people familiar with the current trends in Japan.

DEAL: Save $3 on your first box! Use coupon code 3off.

The information booklet has information about the products. I wish this was more detailed to include ingredients as well as the actual brand names, as most nmnl items are lesser known brands I’ve never heard of or are very obscure.

Urumi Point Patches — Patches that can be used on the undereye or other areas that need extra hydration. They include collagen, hyaluronic acid, and soy milk. I’m frustrated because the information booklet says that these patches are part of the Tonyu Isofurabon line by SANA, but the packaging is completely different and googling the SANA line doesn’t show these patches as part of their lineup. The logo on these is “Urumi.” nmnl is often misleading like this.

Rosy Rosa Oil Blotting Roller — When I first saw this i thought it was a microneedling dermaroller! It’s not. It’s a volcanic stone roller that absorbs oil when rolled over the skin. i don’t have oily skin so I won’t use this but it’s a very cool idea.

Ginger Chai Bath Salts — Three varations were sent out and I received ginger chai. The salts contain ginger and chili extract which have warming properties. The chai one has skim milk and tea extract.

Hair Bow — A hair bow accessory that has velcro on it to secure it to your hair. These really work!

Kakima Eyeliner/Mascara Duo — I don’t know why this is called a mascara as it doesn’t have a spooly. You’re meant to use the foam tip applicator to add smudgy lashes like on the photo.

The foam tip is interesting.

I found it hard to get a thin line like they claim you can. It also rubbed off easily.

Honey & Sunflower Cleansing Lotion — A cleansing milk which can supposedly eliminate the need to tone or moisturize afterward. The ingredients include hyaluronic acid as well as fruit extracts.

nmnl left a bad taste in my mouth this month. I personally feel like it was sneaky to say a product was something that it wasn’t. The average subscriber probably wouldn’t notice the difference but since I’m familiar with the line they claim to have sent, I’m upset. I reached out to them on Facebook for an explanation but haven’t heard back yet.

What did you think of this month’s nmnl box?
