October Julep Maven Classic with A Twist and Free Box Code

It was hard to decide what Julep Maven box to get.  I loved the red in Classic with a twist. Anisa.  I really wasn’t crazy about the grey-beige color, Winona.  I also loved It Girl this month.  I decided to stay with Classic with a Twist and trade Winona on a swap board.  Julep is $19.95 a month, but the nice part is, you can skip any month.  When you sign up, you fill out a style profile, and are assigned to one of five styles: Modern Beauty, It Girl, Bombshell, BoHo Glam, and Classic with a Twist, Every month, BoHo Glam, Bombshell and Classic with a Twist gets 2 polishes and then a beauty/makeup/nail item.  It Girl always has 3 polishes.  Modern Beauty always get two beauty, makeup, nail care, or skin care items. The Box I like how the add-ons are all in the same box. Quote Card There is always a little card, with a quote for the month.  This month, the card says, “Don’t Ask Permission” by Joan Jett Candy Corn Julep always include a little bonus item.  This month’s item was candy corn.  My boys are going to enjoy this.  I am not a fan. Kajal Eye Glider with sharpener I was glad to get a make up item this month.  I haven’t tried this yet, but I like eye pencils.  I also like the sharpener. Alisa I love this red.  It is the reason I chose this box.  I love the color. Winona I was not a fan of this color.  It is a beige-grey color.  I am trading this for another color, with person from an online swap group. Casper This is a white sparkly color that glows in the dark.  I think this will be fun for Halloween. The Whole Box FinalContinue Reading

Ipsy Glam Bag Review July 2013

My boys get so many boxes, I decided to start getting a few for me.  I have loved all the “unboxing videos” of Ipsy and knew I had to try it.  Ipsy sends out a “Glam Bag” each much filled with deluxe samples and full size products.  As a busy mom, I don’t get time to shop around for new beauty and makeup items.  When you sign up, you fill out a survey about your skin tone, make-up habits etc.  Each month there will be a group of products.  If you want to cancel at anytime, you can do so right from your online account.  You will be sent 4-5 that match your profile.
