Sephora Haul!!!

I went to sephora to look at a few items. I wanted to try soap and glory products to see how they are with my body type. I only picked up three items. I got two products from soap and glory and a mask.

The first thing i got is the Righteous Butter ($6.00). I didnt realize how much of a perfumed scent it had. I did try it on my skin and it didnt irritate it. So its good so far.

The second i got while standing in line is the hand food ($7.00). It did have a nice scent but i only used it one so i still need to keep trying it since my hands get really dry in the wintertime.

Next thing i saw in the line was the glam glow youthmud mask ($19.00). I really didnt want to spen $69 for the full size. Since i change up my mask i dont want to waste the money. Ive tried one of their mask but not this one in particular. I will update on what i think.

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.

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.

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.
