August 2014 Julep Maven Nail Polish Box - Review and Unboxing

Julep is a monthly nail polish subscription box. For $24.99 US per month Julep will send you 2 nail polishes and 1 other item (beauty product/nail product). If you sign up for 3 months you will get the boxes for $19.99 per month. 

Julep matches you up with a style box each month based on a quiz you take - you can choose to buy the box Julep selects for you or you can choose another box that you prefer!

This month I was matched up with the "Bombshell" Box - I ended up customizing the box and switching one of the colors around. Here is a look at my August customized Julep Maven Box:


This month's "Wanderlust" nail polish collection was beautiful - unfortunately for Julep they did not plan well and ended up running out of some colors. Some people were receiving 3 of 1 color and getting random replacements instead of what they ordered! Yikes - I was a little but mine turned up just as ordered it!!

August 2014 Ipsy Glam Bag - Review and Unboxing + Urban Decay Perversion Mascara Review!

Ipsy is a beauty bag subscription that that sends you 4-5 deluxe sample or full size products each month. The cost is $10 US + $4.95 shipping to Canada (I paid $16.76 with the exchange rate this month). Ipsy is generally makeup products with a mix of skin, nail, and hair products based on a beauty profile you complete. You can view your "glam room" online that tells you all the products you will receive each month - I really like to keep it a surprise so I don't check ahead of time!

I was really impressed with Ipsy's shipping this month (July was super slow, so the quick shipping in August really made up for it to me!)

Here is a look at my August 2014 Ipsy Glam Bag review:


This month's theme is "Beauty Schooled". I have to say, this is the first month that I am not a fan of the make-up bag this month (no biggie though, I have loved the last few months so I will find someone who likes this one!).

Manicure Monday - Strawberry Nail Art!

Time for another Manicure Monday (a real one this time!). I have been loving all the fruit nails that I have been seeing lately and decided to jump on the bandwagon! I'm planning on doing Strawberry Nails! 




How cute are these nails?! I love the light pink behind the bright strawberries!
