Self care is so important to our wellbeing and what better way to take care of yourself than with adorable characters from Japan? The August 2022 nmnl theme is TOKYO SUNDAY STYLIN’. Featuring adorable products from both Korea and Japan, let’s dive into what nmnl has in store for this month!

DEAL:Use this link and use the coupon code KISSME to get FREE Kiss Me Beauty Bonus! Ends 8/31 MIDNIGHT JST.

Unicorn Mask. How cute is this unicorn mask? Sheet masking is so much more fun with a printed mask, and this one is adorbs! I couldn’t find a lot of information about the ingredients, but I was feeling brave and threw it on while watching some Netflix last night. No irritation or anything like that, and my skin felt soft afterward.

Forest Charm Hot Eye Care Mask. I LOVE heated masks, but right now it’s just too hot to wear them. I’m tucking this away for winter. If you’ve never tried one of these magical masks, you’re missing out. They have soft loops to hook onto your ears, and as soon as you unpack them there’s a chemical reaction and they heat up pretty quickly. While the masks I generally use (Megurhythm) are solid and soothe your eyelids too, this mask has eyeholes so you can relax while reading, having a bath, etc.

Bath with Tea Bath Salts. Speaking of baths, Japan bath salts are the bomb! I love how these smelled of fresh citrus and even in summer a hot bath after a long day is still nice. 

Eyebrow Shaver. Give your brows a quick glam-up with this eyebrow razor. It’s got a blade on one side and the other is a comb to tame any frizzies. I really like how easy these razors are to use. I get my brows waxed but this is great for maintenance in between.

Intentio Marble Makeup Base ($16) This makeup base is very silky and lightweight. I tried swatching it but didn’t notice much of a difference! You can use it as a base/primer or just to correct complexion.

16Brand Mochi Pact Highlight ($15.90) I love the 16Brand packaging so much! This is a fluffy mochi blush — it’s powder but it feels so silky and soft! It also comes with a teeny tiny powder puff.

Dodo Multiface Color Palette. Dodo always has great colours, and I am living for that soft peace in the top row!

Borica Lip Plumper. This is a glossy lip plumper with a brown tint. Subscribers received a random colour. This is sheer but builds up nicely. I don’t notice any mechanical plumping sensation, but the glossy finish does give the illusion of fuller lips.

Swatches on my hand! From left to right, I swatched the lip plumper, the top three shades on the Dodo palette, and on the very right nearly invisible is the makeup base.

Here’s a peek at the magazine for this month:

nmnl (nomakenolife) is a monthly beauty subscription box by the brains behind Tokyo Treat and Yume Twins. Each box has 8-9 Japanese and Korean beauty items, which may include skincare, makeup, hair care, bath & body items, and beauty tools. The subscription is $35 per month, but it can go lower if you subscribe to a longer subscription plan. It’s $33.5 per month on a 3-month prepaid plan, $32 per month on a 6-month prepaid plan, and $31.5 on a 12-month prepaid plan. Shipping is $12.50 to the US, and is about the same for other countries.

    Hi!! Any idea if you have the streak code for this box? I forgot to input on my account and can’t find the booklet in past boxes or physically. Would appreciate the help
