Pacifica Natural Waterproof Eye Pencil (MSRP $11.00)

I received the color gun metal.  This is a silver color. I don't wear silver that often.  I am excited to try it out.

Be a Bombshell Smooth Criminal Powder (MSRP $12.00)

Cailyn Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss Stick (MSRP $19.00)

I received the shade 08 Love Affair

Mitchell and Peach Luxury Hand Cream (MSRP $27.75)

First Impression: This cream felt very good. I do like it so far.  

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel (MSRP $4.19)

I received the color 470 Red Eye

I wasn't expecting to get the double pack.  I tried this nail polish once when i received the vow vox box from influenster.  It was not the best nail polish.  I will try it again with the top coat and see how it holds up to my repeated use in a retail environment.

I really like this lip balm. The product is red and it gives a little color on my lips.  It is very moisturizing and i like that.

Perversion Mascara (MSRP $22.00)

 

I love this mascara.  It goes on really black.  I like to put on many coats on my eyelashes and it only needs a couple coats for my liking and its really black.  The formula is really creamy and goes on smooth.

Julep Maven Box

I received my first julep box.  I received it for free after seeing a promo on facebook.  I received 3 nail polishes, a lip gloss, and an eyeliner.

I am happy to receive my box and enjoy the products.  I have used Julep polishes before when i received one in my pop sugar must have box.  I wanted to try some new polishes and colors.

The consistency of the polishes are great.  They last long and the top coat that i received with it was very good.  My nails didn't chip as quickly as they usually do.  I work with my hands every day so i need a nail polish to really last.

 

 

Duel sided eyeliner in brown shimmer and carbon black.

 

I like the fact that it is duel ended.  They are some pretty colors.  I like to use black and browns for my eyeliner.  The liner is very creamy.  I haven't tested it for staying power yet so stay tuned.

 

 

Lip Gloss in Charming

 

These ploishes are very pretty.  The only one that i don't like that much is the nude one.  It is okay for me but i like the other two colors. 

 

I purchased this julep box with my own money.  Even though the box was free i paid the shipping.  I am not being compensated for making this blog post.  All opinions are my own. 

Fortune Cookie Soaps Summer Box

The Theme for this box is To The Candy Aisle.  Every item is candy themed.  Fortune Cookie Soaps is a quarterly subscription that cost $19.99 every three months.  I like the different themes that they have and that they try new things every box.  I enjoy the soaps and like the smell of everything that I receive in the box.  I will continue my subscription with them.
