Julep Laguna Beach Mystery Box

Hey Everyone!
Today I have to show you my Julep Laguna Beach Mystery Box. 
This box was $24.99 and there was a choice between three "styles" to try.
I'm happy with choosing the Laguna Beach style cause these colors are very pretty.


Yes Julep...surprises are fun!


Cody: "Cantaloupe orange créme"
Fiona: "Electric lime neon green crème"
Abbie: "Sunshine yellow crème"

So of the three polishes I got , Abbie is one I already had.

 Strawberry - Mint Lip Balm
I have gotten this lip balm before but it is a nice balm so Im not upset about getting another one.

Glycolic Hand Scrub: "Unique double-exfoliating action of glycolic acid and apricot seeds reveals noticeably softer and younger-looking hands after just one use. Gentle, non-sudsing natural esters whisk away dirt and excess oil while combating flakiness. Naturally scented with orange oil for a refreshing aromatherapy boost with each use."

I am ok with getting the hand scrub. I get Julep for the polish so anything else is just like...ehh.

June Ipsy Bag....On the Wild Side

Hey Guys!
Hope you are having a fantastic weekend so far!
Today I have the June Ipsy bag to show you.

How fun is this cheetah bag?!?!
Love the pop of neon yellow and how the zipper is not on the typical top!


Here are all the goodies I got.

Below I will go over the details of each item and I got the descriptions from the manufacturers website.
My feelings about each product will be highlighted.

J.cat Eyelashes + Eyeglue
Retail Price: $3.99
http://jcatbeauty.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=18_46&product_id=53

"Cause a ruckus as you bat your voluminous faux eyelashes! Take your pick from 30 styles that you won’t be able to resist.  Each includes an individual eyelash adhesive for endurance through a night on the town!"

I have never worn fake lashes and just never am in a opportunity that they would be appropriate for....Hmmmmmm.



J.cat Sparkling Cream Palette in Volta
Retail Price: $4.49
http://jcatbeauty.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=18_59&product_id=54

"Sparkle is everyone’s best friend! Give yourself a healthy dosage of sparkle with the cream palette that comes in a variety of complementing colors. The creamy texture allows the sparkle to be applied easily with an applicator onto your face."
This palette looks just crazy. When I first got I was like...WTF...who would put this on their eyes? Of course I did and showed the husband, His response was that I  can start working on corner with the look I had going on. Well after getting the description from the site... its not to be used as a eye shadow but just to add to your face. Yeah I think the only way I'm using is for Halloween.


 Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil
Retail Price: $18.00
http://chella.com/products/item/lace_highlighter_pencil
"
This fresh and pretty neutral pencil will brighten and visibly lift your eyes when lightly applied on the brow bone, dark circles, blemishes and redspots."
This was actually nice to use and did add a lift and brightness to eyes. I also used in the inner corners as well.



Starlooks Lip Pencil in Bare
 Retail Price: $12.00
 http://starlooks.com/collections/starlooks-makeup-line/products/ipsy-featured-lip-liners
"Starlooks' long-lasting, full-coverage Lip Pencil enhances the shape of your lips and gives them perfect contour and definition, with high-end quality you've never before experienced. This creamy, moisturizing formula glides on softly to smooth lips and ensure lipstick stays in place, while extending its wear. Can also be used as an allover, highly-pigmented lip color."

I used this and it is just too much of a brown color. Just looked too funny on. 

NYX Powder Blush in Copper
Retail Price: $5.00
http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-24-powder-blush.aspx
"Our pressed powder blush delivers sheer, silky color that glides on, blends beautifully and creates a natural glow. The formula is richly-pigmented and lasts for hours."

I know they say this is a blush but I swear looks like a light bronzer with a ton of shimmer. 

Alrighty guys, that is all for my Ipsy bag goodies.
The total value for my bag was $43.48 and the subscription only costs $10!
Even though I was not totally stoked with this month....I adore the bag!

Foster Care Awareness Mani

Hey Guys!
Happy Wednesday!
May was Foster Care Awareness Month.
Sorry, yes I know it is June but if you follow me on Facebook or Instagram...you got to see these.

 My friend Brandi who you all know of cause she makes the Sassy B Bands is a new foster mom.
There are kids of all ages that are in foster care but I am spotllighting my buddy who is caring for a cutie baby boy, Baby C. 
Hence why I chose the baby bottle stamp

I was at Walgreens and saw this display.
I got inspired to use that royal blue color for this mani
I liked the fun look that this fuzzy coat polish created. It did take like three coats to get this kind of coverage. I did put a base coat of Julep Kate cause there was no way this would cover in those three coats.

 Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Tight Knit
Julep Kate
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue It

Thank you for visiting and I hope to see ya'll next time.

Julep Destination Mystery Box

                     Hey Guys, 
     Just got email about the new Julep Mystery Box. They are doing something new and having three different types to choose from. They are all based on destinations... Laguna Beach, Miami and The Hamptons. 

     As you can see from the picture , it describes the style of each box. Of course I would want all three but I just can't justify the $75. I seriously hate that they are now $25 when used to be $20. 

     I decided to go with the Laguna Beach style since described as trendy, vibrant and fun.
             
          Which would you choose? 

     Hope you all are having a great day and see you next time! 
                        Cher

Influenster Spring Vox Box

Hey Guys!

Wanted to show you what I got in my Influenster Spring Vox Box!
To get a box you need to fill out surveys and get badges to see if can qualify for a free box of goodies.

Once you get the box then just have to go to the site and fill out reviews on what thought about the products.

Here we go!

 Impress press on manicure.
I will have a post on these to let you know how easy they are to apply and do they really last up to a week.

 TastyKake 
Kandy Bar Kakes.
Peanut Butter.
I split this with the hubby cause it has 15!!! grams of fat in one. 
it was yummy but...the coating on the top had completely cracked all off in the wrapper.

 Secret Outlast Clear Gel Deodorant
I normally use a invisible solid  but this has been my go to ever since getting. 
It really does work well and I did not test if last 48 hours....I don't know, not putting on deodorant every day just seems off to me.

 Osis Gelastic Texture Gel
I did use theis when I went for a beachy wave look. I had first sprayed on the Bumble and Bumble Seal Salt Spray and then used a bit of this to lock in those wave. 
It worked well and was not too hard feeling.

 NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm
I really like using this balm. It's not sticky and it has a nice apple scent.
 Came out blurry but that a apple shape in the core.
As you can tell in the swatch, it gives a sheer pinky red color to your lips.

Would you llike to get your own Vox Box?
Go visit them at www.influenster.com and get started to see if you qualify!
Have a great day and see you next time.

June Julep Maven It Girl Box

Hey Guys!
Happy June!

This year has been flying by, I guess dealing with the broken ankle with being out of commission for a couple of months helped with that. LOL

Today I have this very pretty June Maven Box. I stuck with my same It Girl profile.

This box just screams Nantucket, Taylor Swift when still dating that Kennedy kid,  not that I have ever been there but..... I digress.
 
Gotta love when they include a little snack. 


I'm almost surprised it wasn't the July box with these colors I got!
The descriptions are straight from the Julep site.
Bess:"Baby blue crème"
Char:"Nautical navy blue crème"
Nan: "Nantucket red crème"
What?!?!?! Nantucket!
I swear I didn't make the Nantucket conclusion after seeing this description!! LOL


Man....for a second I got super excited thinking that there was a polish with my name! 
But no its Char.

Hope You all have a great Wednesday and see you next time!
