Julep Maven July 2013

Hello again! I have a little story and a thank you for you all....

So recently I had contacted Julep about my June jules not being there, and when I got a response I was told that some of my referrals had went through as well and when I checked, well let's just say I can get a few boxes now. I was going to have to cancel Julep due to financial problems, but now I can keep Julep for free for at least two more months. I thank you all who used my referral link, I'm not going to go into details but you will never know how much you made my day/week/month. So again, thank you.

Enough rambling, here is what I got this month from Julep. I also picked three add-ons because I had enough Jules to cover it and really couldn't decided which 'style' I wanted. 
I chose the Bombshell box which included the Beach Tonic Dry Body Oil, Blakely and Joanna.
As my add-ons I chose, Tracy, Angela and America the Beautiful.

(The "quotes" are from Julep as are the swatches. I do not own any of these pictures.)


Joanna - "lilac frost"

Blakely - "Purple and green molten"

Beach Tonic Dry Body Oil - "A blend of lightweight yet nourishing oils that moisturize, condition, and restore elasticity and suppleness to the body. Absorbs instantly and leaves a satin finish without a greasy residue. Treatment mist contains a blend of cotton seed oil, rich in cell nourishing vitamin E, and sunflower oil- for deep conditioning and softening of even the driest skin."  
Oh My God! Can I say how much I love this spray? I tried it as soon as I got it and I was like "THEY LIE IT IS GREASY!" But then I read the card (duh) and saw you are supposed to use it on damp skin after a shower. So I took my shower and then tried it again and I was in oil heaven. It doesn't absorb super quickly but quick enough that if you start at your legs they are dry but the time you are at your shoulders. I will be using this regularly unless it decides to break me out or something then in the trade or trash it goes.

 Tracy - "Sparkly ocean blue sea salt"

 Angela -  "Deep sea blue molten"

America the Beautiful - "Sterling silver stars with shiny red and royal blue glitter"

I decided to opt for America the Beautiful instead of Fireworks because Fireworks is a glitter topcoat type of polish where America the Beautiful could work as a polish on it's on, with a few coats, or over another polish for a more opaque nail.
I plan on pairing Tracy, America the Beautiful and a red from my collection for the Fourth of July.

Starlooks Starbox June 2013

Hello all! 
I signed up for Starlook's Starbox in May but had missed the deadline, so I just received my first box! I got the June box, which was their self proclaimed anniversary box. For all the hype it was a major let down. I have looked at a lot of the previous boxes and that was what really pushed me to try this subscription box. I was extremely disappointed and really hope July is better, if not I will not be continuing to receive Starlook's Starbox. Hopefully it's easy to cancel.

 Anyways, here is what was sent out. (Swatches included)
 
 Montego Bay Bronzer 

Precision Eye Pen

White Eyeliner
Swatches (White eyeliner, Precision Eye Pen thin line and thicker, Bronzer)
As I said above I was quite disappointed but I have been wanting to try my hand at bronzing so I guess that's a plus. The products they sent were awesome don't get me wrong, I guess I was just expecting more. Also, I could really do without the pin. The Precision Eye Pen is amazing, it really is what they say, precise. I can get a super thin line directly above my lash line, so thin in fact that it just makes my lashes look super thick. I love it. I tried the white eyeliner in my waterline and didn't think it looked too good so I will be using it as a base for lighter eyeshadows, like the UD moondust shadow I got from Ipsy. As for the bronzer I haven't actually tried it on my face yet because I am currently breaking out, and I want to start with clear skin so I can make sure if I break out I know it's from the bronzer... and not mother nature *cough*. As for the peace sign pin, I might as well just toss it because I don't think I know anyone who would want it or it would go in my "random gift" box. Poo, I hate throwing things away.
Please wow me next month starlooks, I really want to love you, I realllllyyyy do. But with boxes like this month I can't justify spending almost $20 on Starbox. I could go to the drugstore and get a bronzer and two eyeliners for less. That is my reasoning for cancelling if July isn't better. 
I would suggest trying Starlooks Starbox only because their products are actually quite good.
Ipsy is still my favorite subscription due to price and the products they send out because I am guaranteed to love at least 3 out of 5 which is a win.
