Julep Maven and Beauty Army June 2013

I'm going to post a double review tonight, well, because I have some time to kill. 
I recently got my Julep Maven June box, Beauty Army box and Influenster VoxBox but the last one will be a separate post.
Let's jump right in. First is the Julep box, I chose Boho Glam which contained the DD creme', Dianna and Lexie.



I swatched the DD creme' and was kind of disappointed but when I actually put it on my face it blended well and didn't appear as orange as it did on my hand. I actually couldn't see it on my face at all. It has very little coverage so I do not recommend it for anyone looking for coverage. 
After all the commotion of the June box and all the complaints Julep stated they would not be making anymore DD creme'. Shame, cause I actually would buy it as a light summer makeup.



Swatch of Dianna. It looks similar to a lot of other seafoam green/mint colors from Julep but I do like it. My favorite colors from Julep to date are Coco and Gabrielle.
I did not swatch Lexie because I haven't decided if I want to take the plastic off and keep it or add it to my swap list. 
Julep is slowly becoming one of my least favorite subs and I think I may start skipping or just cancel all together. 




Now onto the Beauty Army box. This month they announced a new gel liner available.
Here are my choices:

As you can see there are only 5 pictured above because I forgot to add the 6th back in for the picture.
My choices were Immuno-Viva Sunset Tea (2 tea bags), TheraBreath Mouthwash and Lozenges, Lash Cards, Addiction NV Gel Liner pot in Starstruck (Silver), Mini kittour 100ml Travel Bottle and the $25 iTrain gift card.
Picture below is the swatch of the Gel Liner. It goes on amazingly smooth and is almost the consistency of a cream eyeshadow when applying, but once it dries it is not moving. The swatch I put on my hand would not come off for the life of me haha.


Last month I had actually skipped Beauty Army due to lack of interesting samples, or any good ones that did come up I had already tried and didn't want to try them again. This month really got me back into my love for Beauty Army, especially once I learned that they can help through email if you can't get all the samples you want to come up. I will be sticking with Beauty Army for a while, especially considering I can just skip if necessary. 
I highly recommend trying Beauty Army and if not at least try Addiction NV Gel Liners!
