The shipping box is a black box with written "nmnl" on it and it actually looks pretty but nothing too special (I'm a sucker for pink and cute print).
Once you open the box, you can see that there's a pamphlet inside that explains what everything inside is.
Okay, let's see what I got in this month's box!
1. Dotfree AHA & GHASSOUL Peeling Clay
At first, it looks like a regular clay mask and I was completely okay with it. But then the more you read about it, the better it gets. With different types of clay, charcoal, and AHA it sounds to be a wonderful product! I was actually super excited about it so I had to test it out right away!
The scent is gentle, a bit clay like and fruity at the same time. The mask wasn't drying at all and I didn't have to hydrate it (as it's usual with clay masks). My skin was left feeling soft and supple.
Worth ~ $16.

2. Derizum Cream Pure Ceramide + DNA Na2
This looks like an interesting product with all the water and baby smiling going on. It makes me think that it would be a great moisturizing addition to my skincare regime.
It contains 3000 mg of hyaluronic acid, different kinds of ceramide and lots of amino acids. Ceramides are the ones that help restore your skin barrier and this one contains about 7 different kinds of them.
I am pretty sure this product will be great even for other types of skin than justs sensitive and dry. Probably for any skin type that got dehydrated.
Worth ~ 20$
3. Shiseido Senka Perfect Whip Face Wash
This is actually a product that I've never heard about before. But then again, I just started getting into Japanese beauty products, so bear with me.
I've learned that in Japan Shiseido comes in various price ranges and not just the high-end items like it's in our drugstores. This is one of the low - price items that seems to be the craze because of its cushion-like texture (once you whip it).
I quickly tested it on my hand (without whipping it because at the time I didn't know that you should do that) and after I washed it off, my skin felt soft but at the same it felt squeaky clean, which scared me because that's not a happy skin barrier if you ask me.
Worth ~10$
4. Omi Brothers Lip Dress CC Pearl Beige
A cute lip balm with a pearlescent effect that also contains SPF 12.
That's wonderful and I can't wait to use it since I don't own any lip product with SPF.
It has no scent and no taste and I like that. I think this will be my daily lip balm, it's just lovely.
Worth ~4$
5. Meropura Melon All in 1 Gel
Well, alright. It's a melon everyone! You can all go home now. :D Just joking ;).
This product leaked all over the outer packaging and I kind of freaked out. But it was salvageable so everything is fine.
It's supposed to be an all over treatment but I don't know since on several pages it just says it's an eye product.
For me what is special about it is the melon scent. A true melon scent! I have never found anything that smells like melon and now I found it in a beauty product?! This got me super excited! I mean, it's a fresh, yummy scent. But at the same time, I have a full nose. Maybe it smells super strong and I just love the scent because my nose is full?! :D
Worth ~10$
OVERALL:
What to say? I got a box full of trendy Japanese beauty products. The box came to my address in about a week. I wasn't expecting it to come so soon, but it did!
I am happy with the products that I got and I can't wait to test them all out (slowly).
I am the most excited about the mask and the Ceramide cream. Both of those sound intriguing.
Overall the price of the products is about 60$ which makes this subscription well worth it in my opinion! You can get yours here - No Make No Life.
