“Such a cute subscription box!”

Kelsey B.
2/8/21

Such a cute subscription box! I love how all the products are things that would be difficult for me to find here because I get to try something new! I also like that in their monthly booklet it tells you if it's from Japan or Korea. But my favorite thing about this monthly box is the cute themes they pick! It's a great value and a nice way to treat yourself to some self care and beauty products that you won't find on your local store shelves, I'll be ordering again :)

Top Critical Review

“Dishonest and irresponsible”

I emailed them after receiving my box which did not contain the promo item. They responded once and never again. I emailed them a second time to which I got no response. I brought it to the attention of their social media team, which deleted my comments and blocked me from commenting again. Thats just not good enough. No one tried to help me at all!

As with the previous box delivery was fast and trackable and came on time. Would recommend to anyone who loves beauty products or wants a nice treat for them selves

I live in Canada and the box got here ONE DAY after shipping. I ordered January 31st, the box shipped February 4th and arrived February 5th. I am deeply impressed, that's the fastest shipping I've had on anything since the pandemic started. The box had definitely been tossed around a little during the process, I could see dents and even a small partial puncture hole on one side. There was no bubble wrap or anything, the items were just loose inside the box, but nothing was damaged at all. (Tbh most of it was not very breakable)

The items inside are really nice, it felt like opening a present someone had sent me. I will definitely be open to purchasing again if another box catches my eye.

Tip for consumers:
The prices were all set in USD, I am from Canada. It was a little expensive but a nice treat. Even if you buy one box, you are signed up for a month-to-month subscription so remember to cancel if you don't want to keep receiving it

Products used:
I know I will use everything except I received a small eyeshadow palette I may regift.

Super cute stuff! Great value and interesting products. If I had any criticism at all its just that I'm a sucker for stickers and I wish there were some included but I love these boxes anyways!

Mixed feelings. I LOVE the rebranding they've done, the design of the boxes and pamphlets are beautiful and really go above and beyond compared to other subscription boxes in how they display the products and provide information and tips for how to use them. Overall, the products are certainly of high quality, but the December box felt repetitive, with so many of the items being face masks and other fairly basic items (ie. Hand soap). Primarily, however, is the fact that I bought the box because of an offer they were advertising where you could get extra items in the box when using a specific code. The offer made it sound like you would get some limited edition Pikachu makeup items which I was really excited about. However, I only got one bonus item in this box which turned out to be a face mask with no relation whatsoever to the Pikachu line. It's because of this that I came away very disappointed and can't help but feel that their advertisements are at least somewhat misleading.

I fell in love with the Japanese make-up products after a trip there and have been searching for a way to get them in my country. The quality, quantity and price are verry correct in my opinion. I like the mix between make up and beauty products.
The products you recieve have great variation and I look forward to every box with a lot of anticipation.

The only reason I didn't give a 5 star is because you can't choose which color you get so some things arn't suited for my skintone. That said there are ways to make things work and they make a nice gift to friend/family so I can't say I have lost anything by ordering these boxes! On the contrary I gain happy moments each month:-)

Tip for consumers:
Dont be decieved you can order a 1 month subscription and cancel after that way you have 1 box!
You can choose 1 or 3 or 6 month subscription and cancel after so you only get the desired amount. There are no tricks to make you pay more.

I highly recommend

I have been anxiously waiting for my first box to arrive, been tracking and watching. I'm a little disappointed that my August box came before my July box and I still don't know when the July box will be here. I'm just happy that for July I have received a box to enjoy, hopefully the July box comes in August so I have something to enjoy then! Everything in my box I have loved, the products are great and I love the pamphlet that comes with it explaining each item. So far, I'm loving it!

High quality skin care products and rare beauty finds - I'm so happy and can't wait for my next box! Shipping was fast and reliable!

Tip for consumers:
Be patient your box will arrive!!
Also if you signed up for a free gift add on using a coupon code, it won’t list it in your subscriptions in your account so don’t worry it will still be in your box! I got nervous about that.

Soy fan de la cosmetica japonesa y coreana porque tengo un blog de belleza, así es que me encanta descubrir nuevas marcas. Con dos productos tienes la caja amortizada y siempre son puntuales. A España tarda en llegar de 20 a 25 días y en un año jamás se han retrasado. Me encanta la presentación y si te gusta algún producto, lo puedes adquirir en su web. Es altamente recomendable

Tip for consumers:
- Hay fotos para hablar de los productos y las temáticas de las cajas
- Conocerás las marcas más importantes de la cosmetica asiática
- Son divertidas
- Nunca te ponen muestras, el producto es grande y de calidad

Products used:
Tint lips, eye mascara y contorno de ojos

I just got my first box ~ the Sakura Beauty Spa Vol. 50 March 2021 box ~ and I could not be more happy! The box is $35 usd per month, and the website makes it super easy to edit your subscription. The final charge for me was $47.49 usd - I live in Canada, so it's a bit more with the currency conversion, but I would order again. Their theme this month was Sakura bath / spa time! I love and will use everything in this box - you can also give the items as gifts if you have no use for them. The packaging is all so beautiful, and the colors are very sweet and soft. I think it would make a fantastic gift for a teen or youth getting into makeup or for anyone who loves beauty products. I also WON one of their contests for a free box, so I'm super excited about that! Each month, the box has a theme - check the website / social media to find out the theme for the month you're subscribing. They also offer a ton of promotions - it seems there is a code for free product(s) every month - I received a bonus product in my box because I used a promotional code. They have picture contests and other ways to win entire subscriptions. Give them a try! (:

Tip for consumers:
Find out what the theme of the box is to see if it's something that interests you and make sure you get a code to use at check out for a free bonus item. Also enter their contests to win stuff!

Products used:
Bath salt, bath pop (or bomb), bath tablet or fizzy, blush, lipstick, makeup brush holder, headband, Vaseline, rose mask. There were 2 items (another blush and an eyeshadow palette) that I may give away as gifts.

Like the color pink and cherry blossoms? Then you'll love this box! It's entirely sakura themed and contains items from makeup, skincare, bath time favorites and two beauty items! My favorite was the Hello Kitty dark nude lipstick but also the Kitty Ears Headband :)

I've been subscribed for just over a year and my box has shown up every month without issue. Most months the items are great and useful, so I am happy with the service. Occasionally I've gotten a box where I have felt the combined cost of the items was significantly less than what I paid for the box (after looking the items up online) or felt some of the items seemed cheap/poor quality (e.g. Cheap looking hair tie or hand soap). However, overall I have been a happy customer!

The items in this box were okay. I really wish Nomakenolife included items they advertise on their website and social media platforms because those items seem so much more kawaii than the dollar store looking items I get each month. I still like it though.

Products used:
The mask is nice, handcream is good, and the face powder is great.

I love nomakenolife sub box :) I've been a subscriber since I first saw the box a couple of years ago. You get a generous number of Japanese ( and now Korean as well) beauty products and tools along with a booklet explaining proper use of the items. Often there are little stories about the historical and cultural importance of ingredients and there are ALWAYS competitions to win more products. I have adapted many items into my daily skin/body/Haircare and make up routines. The mods of the Facebook page are very involved in their community and fun to chat to. The box itself is very sturdy- I've Only has one product damaged and that was clearly a courier issue, but they still replaced the item( it was a pack of ten sheet masks)

It was delivered on time. I like most of the products like 8/10, but I don't know if I would order again because it seems to be a bit expensive.
