Nomakenolife contains 8 – 9 items of cosmetic, hair, and skincare products from both Japan and Korea, two places which are very serious about their beauty products.
They have one-, three-, six-, and 12-month subscriptions costing from $35 (around £27) for one month (longer subscriptions are cheaper). Shipping is free.
Beauty and the Beasts – how fun does this theme sound!
There’s a full list with descriptions of each item in the menu booklet. There are also tips and tricks on how to use each item, and it also tells you whether it’s from Korea or Japan.
This is an Animal Hot Eye Mask. It’s one of four animal varieties (I have a cat) and it it is unusual in n eye mask that it heats rather than cools! It’s actually very effective though, especially after a long and tiring day.
I’ve got another car variety here, a Puorella Aqua Animal Sheet Mask. This one is Soothing, and the other two are Anti-ageing (tiger) and Brightening (panda).
While I must admit I’d have quite liked the anti-aging, the soothing version is really lovely, and still contains nourishing ingredients.
Country & Stream Oil Block Gel is a really specific product, and very useful if you have problems with an oily t-zone. It’s designed to be applied to the skin where you have a problem with excess oil and it effectively absorbs it, stopping the dreaded shine!
My skin is actually more on the dry side, but I can see how this would be incredibly useful for those with oily or combination skin.
Tis Jigott Cat’s Eye Mascara has arrived with perfect timing as my mascara is coming to the end of its life! This the Perfect Volume version, others being Power Curling or Super Lash. I’m really happy with the volume version, it gives great definition and boosts volume without clumping.
This cute little compact and puff is Dodo Cat Blush. It’s small enough to pop into your bag or pocket, and the blush itself has a cute little cat design on it!
Yet another kitty! This time we’ve got a Cute Cat Rose Bath Bomb.
This next item is the featured item this month.
Holika Holika Pig Nose Clear Black Head 3 Step Kit.
I realise it’s not the most enticing name, but this is a really useful product if you struggle with blocked pores on your nose.
Consisting of three separate stages, it has a full treatment to cleanse pores and then minimize their appearance. As long as you don’t think about what it’s called you’re going to like it!
Finally, this adorable Animal Headband.
It comes in several varieties of animal ears. At first I thought it was a normal headband but with ears, but it’s actually really clever. It’s one long band but it actually has soft wires inside, so you can fit it exactly to your head shape then hold it on my twisting the ears together.
