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. 

Ipsy October 2013

I received my Ipsy Bag a little late this month. But after all the hassle I finally got it. It contained 5 products that i am happy to try.  The theme for the month is the Art of Beauty.

 

Bella terra Mineral cosmetics mineral shimmer in Emotion $14.99

I haven't tried it yet but i am going to try it soon.  The color is very beautiful.

Zoya Nail Polish in Neve. $8.00

I am wearing this color right now.  I love the color and it is a color that I would buy but I love that is came in the bag.

Norish Organic Coconut and Argan Oil Body Lotion.  $11.99 8oz.

This lotion was not the best.  I really didn't like it.  It was not moisturizing on the skin and during this time of the year i was hoping that it would be.  My hands are the driest and they still itched and hurt after I put the lotion on.  I will use it up but I will not buy it in the future.

Style Sexy Hair Spray Clay  $18.95  4.4oz.

I have not tried it yet.  

The only thing that is not pictured is the Costal Scents brush that was in the bag.  I have used it and i really like it.  It is not scratchy at all and it applies eye shadow really good.

Results: Besides the things that i didn't use the other things were good.  The lotion is the only thing that i really didn't like.  

I bought this bag myself with my own money.  All opinions are my own.
