LYF-now-apr-info

This is the info card that was included in the package, detailing the items in the box. This month's theme is "Express Yourself With Color."

LYF-now-apr-chart

LYF-now also included a color chart this month in their printed materials. It talks about what different colors mean and when to wear them. Fun!

Manicure Tools - Listed value $10

Ths is a pretty comprehensive little manicure set! I think this would be a good set for just about anyone to have.

LYF-now-apr-polish

Donut Worry Be Happy Nail Polish Kit - Listed value $10

This is a super cute little nail polish set! The colors are nice and vibrant, and it's chemical free. If I had a teen daughter, that would be one of my top concerns when introducing her to the world of beauty products.

4-Phase Professional Nail Buffer - Listed value $6

It's really handy that all four steps of nail buffing are printed on each side of this buffer! Otherwise I'm not sure I would even use it correctly.

Nail Applications - Listed value $6

The three sheets you can see in this photo are nail stickers / decals / wraps. They are cute and age-appropriate, I think.

Crystal Charms - Listed value $4

I like how small these nail charms are! The ones at my local nail salon are huge, and I hate feeling like I have "stuff" on my nails. These seem small enough to ignore, but big enough to add some sparkle.

LYF-now-apr-cards

Note Cards - Listed value $3

I love these note cards! So cute! I also think this is a much more important and interesting way to express yourself with color than painting your nails. I'm so glad they included these!

LYF-now-apr-extras

These extras were also included in this month's package. The kids loved the taffy, of course!

Verdict: I think LYF-now generally does a good job of balancing age-appropriate beauty items with non-beauty related items, which is important for this age range. I think there is a lot of pressure on young women to be born fashionistas / make-up professionals, but the way beauty items are presented in this subscription has more of a "take care of yourself" feel to it. I also think everything in the box is appropriate for the teens and young women age range. The value this month totals almost $40, which is good for a $29 box, but I think they could do a little better. Overall, I think this would make a nice gift subscription for a special teen girl in your life.

Cute box but a bit young for the demo. Also is that a typo on the info card? “Love Yourself Frist”?

I agree with the other commenters. My 14 year old niece over quickly outgrew the box sub aimed at tweens and now prefers regular beauty boxes like BB5, Birchbox and Ipsy. I think she’d be insulted if I gave her something labeled “kid friendly.”

I have to agree about the target market … my 7 year old would love this. I also think the price is a bit high for what you get.

If the nail polish is free from chemicals what is it made from?

I agree with the other comments. My 8 year old would LOVE this. The teenagers I know would think it is lame!

I agree, it’s a great concept..but…lol My daughter will be 14 this month and this definitely wouldn’t appeal to her. Cute stuff though.

I would have absolutely loved this box around age 7-10. I was obsessed with makeup around those ages…my mom gave me all of her old makeup to play with and I thought it was the most fun form of self-expression. The funny thing is that I never once wanted to wear makeup to school, and now I’m in my mid-twenties and I don’t wear a stitch of makeup except for a swipe of lip gloss. So I think all kids are different in terms of how they respond to social pressures, but I think it’s something interesting to consider when giving a box like this to a young girl.

I’m not sure I’m agree with where they set their target demographic. My 11 year old thought the items were young for her so I can imagine what my 15 year old would think. This looks more like a tween sub box to me.
