Polish Review - Julep "Sienna"

Hey guys! I have a polish review for you today.

I have one of my favorite Julep polishes -- Julep "Sienna".

"Sienna" is #4, on the far left. As you can see, if is a really pretty gold foil.

This polish applied with 2-3 coats, depending on how thick you make them. It is very smooth, with virtually no brushstrokes, either.

"Sienna" lasted really well. I wore this, and did some manicures for family/friends with it, over the holidays, and it looks really nice for a long time.

You can see it compares pretty closely to Revlon "Gold Coin" (#6), though the Revlon polish is much frostier and has a few more brushstrokes.

I would really recommend this polish. It's a great pale silvered gold and one that definitely is a necessary color for every collection. I think it should fit most skin tones, too.

Sindulge - April 2012

So, long overdue, I finally got my last Sindulge box. For reference, I had canceled my subscription after an incredibly disappointing March box.

 

This box was quite a bit better, and I am very grateful that I was offered it for free. I think if they had shipped on time, and if they had checked some of my information that had to do with color choices. :\ I also see a lot of the same brands repeating, which makes me nervous. I also appear to be one of the one of the few people that does like the bags, haha.

1. Pixi Nail Color - #11 Pink Rose - $8.00

2. Skone Cosmetics - Nectar Lipgloss - $2.00

3. YoungBlood - Hi Def Powder - Translucent - $2.29

4. Pixi - Fairy Light Solo - Champagne Glow - $14.00

5. Indie Lee - Coconut Citrus - Body Scrub  - $10.00

= $36.29

I'm not sure why I'm still a little disappointed in this box. I am really happy with the eyeshadow, but the nail polish is not my color, and the body scrub may already be opened... I think I'm done with Sindulge until I see something better coming along.

Julep Easter Mystery Box

 

Here is my Easter mystery box from Julep! This is what I found:

1. Julep Base Coat - $14.00

2. Julep Anne - $14.00

3. Julep Melissa - $14.00

4. Julep Sienna - $14.00

5. Julep Cuticle Oil - $18.00

+ Chocolates, Nail File

= $74.00

Again, not too bad, though many of the colors were duplicates for me. What did you get?

Julep St. Patrick's Day Mystery Box

 

I got a pretty good pick on my Julep St. Patrick's Day Mystery Box!

I received:

1. Julep Melissa - $14.00

2. Julep Sofia - $14.00

3. Julep Hayden - $14.00

4. Julep Base Coat - $14.00

5. Julep Crystal Nail File - $6.00

6. Julep Glow On Age Defying Hand Brightener -  $10.67

7. Julep Facial for Hands Glycolic Hand Scrub - $10.67

 + Chocolates

Not bad at all! I'll have my Easter box up in a few!

Birchbox - April 2012

I finally am sharing my April 2012 Birchbox with you guys! I'm sorry for the delays here!

This was a pretty good box! I do have to admit that I was a little underwhelmed after the Teen Vogue box, but this is looking pretty good!

1. Zoya - Nail Polish in Bevin - .25oz - $4.00
2. Taylor Swift - "Wonderstruck" Perfume - .04oz - $0.61
3. Lulu Organics - Lavender and Clary Sage Hair Powder - $3.23
4. Befine - Skincare Sampler -5 packettes - $10.00
5. Yes to Blueberries - Brightening Facial Towelettes - $2.13

= $19.97

Not too bad. I got the best possible Zoya sample I could have asked for, and I love dry shampoos. I'm so lazy that sometimes I have trouble getting my hair washed every day, but it's so oily that it needs something.

The only problem was that the Befine set was that they were expired, but Birchbox contacted all recipients and gave us a point credit -- and I suspect they are all still fine. I definitely plan to still try them.

What did you get? Envious of any of mine? :) I'm jealous of myself for getting Bevin!

Target Beauty Bag - Spring 2012

So, I have finally received the much-coveted Target Beauty Bag! It took a lot of effort and patience to get this bag, because for some reason the request page on Target's Facebook page was down for awhile.

Inside the bag was:

1. Simple - Cleansing Facial Wipes - 7 wipes - $2.00
2. Nivea - Extended Moisture Daily Lotion - 1oz - $0.52
3. Neutrogena - Visibly Bright Daily Facial Cleanser - .5oz - $0.30
4. L'Oreal - Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer - Sample

The coupon booklet has some amazing deals, too, and the whole thing comes in a cute padded makeup bag. I am so glad I got ahold of this!

We also received quite a few coupon codes for various products.
