my Julep for November {review}

Friday, my Julep Maven box for November arrived. Let me just say that I am super thrilled with my box this month!!! I chose the Bombshell box for this month, and had enough jewels to choose two free add-ons :) It is all absolutely PERFECT for the fall!!!  To be honest, I was very iffy about this month. On the website (and in pictures) that polishes just don't look that appealing to me. They are sooooo much prettier in person and swatched, though. I've been wearing the color "Nic" since my box arrived, and I love that it is so red that it looks almost black. In the next couple of days, I will be switching it up to another color from this box. I love them all and it is so hard to decide!

This is what I got.................

    

this is what came in the box

these were my add-ons

the lip gloss {swatched}

 The colors for my box this month are as follows (from left to right):

Lip Gloss - Posh {sheer black honey}

Polish 1 - Brielle

Polish 2 - Nic 

Add-on 1 - Chloe

Add-on 2 - Autumn

And as you can see, the lip gloss isn't nearly as dark as it appears to be in the tube. The texture is very creamy, not sticky. In my opinion, it is the perfect consistency for a lip gloss!

Freeman's Spooky Mystery {Happy Mail}

So Freeman's beauty supply did a Spooky Mystery Bag where you could get an entire box of products for only $20. I jumped on it! And in the spirit of the theme "spooky", my box arrived today... just in time for Halloween. 

This is what was in my box:

I am on a children's event planning team at my church and we just hosted our big fall festival tonight, so I am way too tired to list everything individually and I will come back in the next day or two and list everything individual, and see what the worth of the products were for only $20! but I am super pleased with everything that I got! There are a couple of things that I can't use that I will list on my Swap/Trade board on Pinterest.... You can find that here: http://www.pinterest.com/sogachick/up-for-swaptrades/ 

Did you get the Spooky Mystery bag as well? If so, what did you get in yours?

#SoapandGlory {Happy Mail}

I have been hearing a lot of great things about Soap and Glory. I have a huge problem with huge pores, so some friends of mine told me to try "The Greatest Scrub of All" facial exfoliator. Sephora was having a sale (I think they still are), so I got the exfoliator for $10.50 and the Face Soap Clarity 3 in 1 daily detox for only $3. Plus, some amazing perfume samples. (I am a perfume sample junkie these days!). 

Sorry the picture is a little blurry....

Have you tried Soap and Glory products before? If so, how do you like them?
