So I sorta slept thru my alarm....sorry!

I know I'm a day late on this, but I never claimed to be perfect.  Here are my November subscriptions. 

My favorite polish to come out of the Julep box for November was Fazia.  (last 2 polishes on the right) It's a really rich red wine color.  Perfect for fall/winter manis.  I've gotten a ton of complements on it. I also opted for the Plie wand in my box.  I'm still learning to use it and all, but I'm digging it so far.  Heres a pix of Fazia and where I used my Plié wand.

My November Ipsy Bag.... first can I say how much I adored this bag?  the silver glitter look is awesome.  Its in the top of my favorite bags from them so far.  The one item I didn't dig was the lip stain.  I'm not sure if I maybe got a bad batch or not (the reviews on it were mixed), but the only part of it I was impressed with was the super rich pigment of it.  Other then that, it was a mess.  It never fully set on my lips.  It stained my teeth, face and fingers.  When I say stained my teeth, I mean I had to use a makeup wipe on my teeth.  I tried applying it 2 different ways.  One with just my pinky. The second time I used a lip primer, lip liner and used a lip brush to apply it.  I ended up with the same results both time. My cousin got the same product and color and she had a totally different experience with hers.  So I'm giving it a second go. I redeemed another tube of it in a different shade with some Ipsy points I had stocked away.  We'll see how it goes this time.

October's Maven box

So yesterday I received my Julep Maven box!  I was super excited to get this because it was the first collection where I loved all the colors. 

They called the collection "Black Magic".  Its the 9 polishes in the upper left corner of the photo. Nancy, Shailene, Dean, Logan, Margarita, Ledi, Marla, Briann and Dana.  I also decided to add on Casper, which is a glow in the dark polish as well as black cat decals, a plush pout lip crayon and the night mask.  For adding on 3 add ons I was gifted with the red and yellow polishes in the bottom right, Catrina & Karmen.   I was really pleased with this month's box.  One of the things I'm most geeked about is the polish Dana.  It's black light reactive.

September Julep Maven Haul

I received my Maven box from Julep the other day.  I'm in love with the colors.  Totally perfect for the autumn.  Reds, grays, blues, gold.... You know the type of colors that signify that sweater weather and pumpkin spice lattes have arrived.

My box selections were the Freedom polymer top coat, Mary Lee polish and Eliana polish.  I also decided to add on the Ana white glitter polish, Lupita polish and Padma polish.  As a free gift from Julep for adding three add ons, they gave me the Candace polish and Daria polish.
(colors are in order left to right. Free gift colors horizontal in front)
If you are unfamiliar with Julep, they are only the best nail polish company around.  I love their lotions just as much as I love the polish.  Once you go Julep you wont go back to anything else.  There's a strengthening agent called Hexal. Their oxygen technology lets your nails breath while the polishes distribute evenly for superior coverage. 
The top coat gives you a gel like shine preventing chips and making your mani last longer without the hassle of actually get a gel mani done.  You only need your regular nail polish remover to remove from your nails.
