Julep Maven (Subscription Box Review)

I recently found out about and subscribed to receive a monthly nail polish subscription box from Julep.com . I'm one to paint my nails up to twice a week and I'm always searching for a fun different color to try. I had come across a pin on Pinterest that had a coupon code to try the subscription for free and all you had to do was pay the shipping which came out to $2.99! I tried it and got my first box with 3 nail polishes and was surprised they even threw in a julep lip gloss to try! I loved it and decided to keep going with the subscription and I have to say, I am very impressed and Love their products! It's a little more than some of the subscription boxes out there but to me it's still cheaper than splurging for these products at a high end beauty store and buying individually.

To sign up you can click on this link Julep.com and get started for free for your first box. It's $24.99 a month and they always have different surprises in each box for you to try. Here's what I got for the month of May.

They include coupons to their store in case you want to try different products. It's not just nail polish they have great makeup products as well!

Color on the left: Vanna bombshell. Color on the right : Denise Bombshell

Swatched the lip crayon in Fuchsia Berry Creme. Love the color!

and This lip gloss is officially My FAVORITE! It's sheer magenta and the tip gives a cooling effect when applying and the gloss is not sticky at all ! 

I have never been so satisfied with a subscription box like I have with this one! I've always loved receiving packages in the mail and this makes checking my mail box so much more exciting! There's not one product I have received from Julep that I haven't liked. * I am not being sponsored to promote them at all, I just really am satisfied and want to start sharing what every month's box brings. So if you're looking into subscribing to a beauty box, this one has some great stuff! Check them out! ;)

A Lush Bath (Product Review) and September Beauty Haul!

I recently met heaven in my bath tub... Okay, not literally but so close! Have you guys heard of Lush Cosmetics?! Well.... Let me introduce you!
Lush's products are all handmade and organic, made with fruits and veggies ( I wouln't recommend eating tho lol) They are all about not testing their products on animals and what not.

Now the fun to all of this: their bath bombs are amazing! They have so many different kinds to choose from! Anything from sleep inducing See how Noah uses Lush Bath Bombs HERE .  I looked for a cute bath bomb that wasn't too expensive. I went with the Sex Bomb... ya I know the name, I thought it was funny and it smelled delish! Cost me: $7.95


Now for Noah's bath bomb, we broke it into several different pieces but for the one I got, I went ahead and dropped the whole thing in! Here's how it looked:

I loved it! It felt so soothing, it smelled great and my skin was so silky soft! I hadn't had a good relaxing "me time " bath since I was pregnant so this was a nice treat! I had the canldes going and pandora on... it was great!

Happy spoiled relaxed me after bath.

I highly recommend going to Lush and trying out their products! I know I can't wait to go back! Next time I also want to try their natural shampoos or a face mask!

September was like Christmas for me since it was my birthday month ;) I fully enjoyed it and loved my gifts! I got some cash and giftcards and of course I used it mostly on makeup! Here's a look at my new make up family memebers :

Aren't they lovely?! I know,  I know, I have a makeup addiction. I already have more than I need but I can't stop! heehee.. I tried a few new products this make up haul. I was pumped to try all the new ELF cosmetics! They're dirt cheap and very good products for the most part! So far I'm loving the stuff I picked up. I also finally got lip balm from rosebud perfume co. I had been wanting to try and I absolutely love it! I carry it with me everywhere and use it at night before bed and when I wake up. My lips are silky soft and smell  like yummy strawberry thanks to that! My other new fave is the Urban Decay Powder. I love how well it covers! I got mine in a medium dark and it makes my face look flawless! I love it! I'm also trying out the Real Techniques make up brushes from Ulta. They're amazing! I've been using Crown makeup brushes for years and I actually fell in love with Real Techniques more! I def. need to load up on more.

Besides makeup, I've also bought a couple nail kits from Nail Inc from Sephora. I had never tried the brand but wow they are amazing! Here's a look at what I did to my nails with one of the kits:

For this look I used nail polish by Flower (made by Drew Barrymore) and then added the bow from nails inc kit.

Neat huh? I love them! I should probably do a makeup video... or showing you all how much of a makeup junkie i am lol . I did at one point get a second job at Sephora, on top of working 8 hours a day and going to school just to meet my makeup needs... oh the single life... ha.
Now that Noah is able to entertain himself for a while at a time I've been taking advantage and getting back to doing my make up on a daily basis and my hair and nails too.

Gotta love mommy life!
