NME Box

The tutorial-based format keeps things fresh every month, and I've already discovered two techniques I never would've tried on my own. The creative direction pushes me out of my comfort zone without feeling overwhelming, and the unboxing itself is a fun little ritual I look forward to.

The monthly tutorial suggestions are super helpful for someone like me who isn't a pro at makeup looks. I just got my first box and used the shadow from it to recreate a smoky eye from an online guide, and it turned out great.

I was worried the samples might be too basic, but the mini lip gloss included this month was a perfect match for a tutorial I’d just watched. Great way to try new formulas without committing to full sizes.
