Can I just say <b><span style="font-size: large;">THANK YOU </span></b>to <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep</a>?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you for taking me <b>WAY</b> out of my comfort zone & for making me fall in love with colors I'd <b>NEVER</b> think I'd ever wear in a million years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In fact, I almost skipped this month. The colors just weren't <b>"me,"</b> but when I saw the <span style="font-size: large;"><b>mascara</b></span>, I knew I couldn't skip. I have the shortest, sparsest, blondest eyelashes on the planet. I couldn't say no to a mascara that claims to lengthen & volumize my stubby lashes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ordered my usual box:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Classic With A Twist</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
& added on <b>Hoche</b> because it's a color I knew I'd love if I tried it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything about this box was <b><u>beautiful</u></b>.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Brandt</span></b> is what sold me on the Classic with a Twist box. I've been wanting a good <b>black creme</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for a while now so I was thrilled when I saw it. I love black around Halloween time especially, but it's also great for details in nail art. This one is going to get used <b>CONSTANTLY</b>.</div>

I'm in a love/hate relationship with <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sophie</b></span>. I guess I'll figure how much I like her when I actually put her on. Browns are not my favorite color for nails, but looking at how well the brown & black look together, I might just venture out & try some fun nail art with the combination of the two.</div>

For an add-on this month <span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>(add on polishes each month are $4.99 instead of $14.00) </b></span>I got <b><span style="font-size: large;">Hoche</span></b> from the American Beauty Box.

The main reason I bought this box was for the <span style="font-size: large;"><b>mascara</b></span>. I know a <b>LOT</b> of <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep</a> Mavens are disappointed in getting cosmetic items in their<b> "nail subscription service,"</b> but I'm fine with it as long as we get a nail product every other month which <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep</a> has done just fine. I'm willing to try new things & haven't found a single thing I haven't liked from <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep</a>. They have amazing products no matter what they are. </div>

Needless to say, it's pretty <b><u>amazing</u></b> stuff. I'm not surprised. <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep</a> is just amazing in everything they do. Like I mentioned before, I have<b> non-existant </b>eyelashes. They are short, stubby, & completely see-through because of their blondness. I usually use eyelash primer & two coats of mascara just to make it look like I have eyelashes period. I put on the Julep mascara this morning with <b>NO</b> primer & look what it did to my lashes!!!!</div>

I just needed to do a shout out to <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Mario Badescu</b></span>. A friend told me about their awesome <span style="font-size: large;"><b>strawberry scrub</b></span> the other day & I wanted to try it. I emailed the company asking if they sold it in a travel size container so I could try it before I paid for a full bottle. I have very sensitive skin, so trying products out before I commit to the full size is important to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They replied to me saying that they don't make a travel size, but that they wanted to send me a<b><u> FREE SAMPLE</u></b> of it to try out. I offered to pay for shipping for the sample, but they insisted on it being entirely free. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>(That alone makes me want to buy from them.)</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was pleasantly surprised by the sample they sent. It was 5 times as big as the samples I've been receiving from Birchbox. . . & it was <b>FREE</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They sent me a nice letter along with a catalog of their products & <b><u>2 large sample containers</u></b> of their strawberry scrub. One container was a generous amount, but <b>TWO</b>? Incredible.</div>

I really liked this scrub. It smells amazing <b><span style="font-size: x-small;">(like fresh strawberries & cream)</span></b> & has little strawberry seeds inside to help exfoliate the skin. It's a <b>VERY GENTLE</b> scrub for people with sensitive skin. I loved the whipped texture & the way it made my face feel & smell. I will be purchasing the full size in the near future. . . as soon as I run out of my samples.</div>

I always get excited towards the middle of the month because that's when my <b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.birchbox.com/?raf=8h2nh" target="_blank">Birchbox</a></span></b> & <b><span style="font-size: large;">MyGlam </span></b>bag arrive. Most months I'm waiting on the edge of my seat for my <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/?raf=8h2nh" target="_blank">Birchbox</a>, but this month was kind of a <b>dud month</b> for me. I wasn't thrilled with everything in my box, but I'm not too upset over it since I haven't had a dud box in several months. I signed up for <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/?raf=8h2nh" target="_blank">Birchbox</a> knowing that some months would be better than others. I'm just happy to get samples to play with.</div>

I'm never very excited to get a perfume vial in my <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/?raf=8h2nh" target="_blank">Birchbox</a>. I don't wear much perfume & you can get most perfume samples for free from Sephora or Ulta so they are of no value to me. <b>HOWEVER</b>, once in a blue moon, I find one that I really like & this month happened to be that month. I really love the <b><span style="font-size: large;">Viva La Juicy Fleur perfume.</span></b> It was a pleasant surprise for sure.</div>

I have mixed feelings about the <b><span style="font-size: large;">Beauty Fixation Cuticle Conditioner.</span></b> I'm <b>SO</b> pleased that it was a full sized sample. There were 24 of these little guys to try which is really great. The problem is that I'm a total <b>nail snob </b>& I have a favorite cuticle oil that I use & nothing will ever compare to it. These literally felt like water going onto my cuticles. When you put oil on your cuticles it should feel like oil, not like plain old water. You should be able to feel the difference. I also have a gripe about paying $5.00 for 24 q-tips. I guess the premise is convenience, but again, I like my roll-on cuticle oil from <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep</a> & nothing will ever compare to that. </div>

I liked the <b><span style="font-size: large;">DDF Cleanser</span></b> okay I guess. It was a 2oz bottle which is a deluxe size. It was kind of weird that some <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/?raf=8h2nh" target="_blank">Birchboxes</a> got a 4.5 oz bottle & others got the 2 oz, but I was happy with that size. It was enough to tell whether I liked it or not. It will actually last me a while. I'm not a super fan of this one. It smells an awful lot like<b> cough syrup</b> to me & I haven't noticed any improvement to my skin tone or dark spots. Other people mention seeing results instantly. I guess my dark spots are too dark & too permanent. That's what 7 pregnancies will do to you I guess.<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><b> ha ha ha.</b></span> I will use every last drop of it though. Cleansers are expensive so it's nice having a travel size to take with me on my overnight trips.</div>

The lifestyle extra this month was a <b><span style="font-size: large;">Schick Hydro Razor</span></b>. A <b>LOT</b> of <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/?raf=8h2nh" target="_blank">birchbox</a> girls complained about getting a razor in our boxes. Granted. . . razors aren't really high end beauty products, but they added value to the box & I really needed a new razor. I didn't realize how badly I needed a new razor until I opened this puppy up. Man, my old razor was dull. This thing works like a dream. I went almost 2 whole days without any stubble on my legs even. This is definitely a keeper & I'll be buying many more in the future. Thank you <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/?raf=8h2nh" target="_blank">Birchbox</a> for a <b>FABULOUS</b> lifestyle extra this month.</div>

And the <b>smallest</b> sample I got this month was the<b><span style="font-size: large;"> Jouer Moisturizing Lip Gloss.</span></b> I have to admit, I was kind of disappointed in this sample only because I know if you contact Jouer personally, they send you this exact same size sample <span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>(sometimes more than one) </b></span>for <b>FREE</b>. So even though it was <b>SOMETHING</b>, deep down I knew I was <u><b>PAYING</b></u> for a <u><b>FREE</b></u> sample which stinks. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't gotten a perfume sample that I also could have gotten for <b>FREE</b> in the same box. But getting both in one box felt like a total rip off for me this time. But I still love <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/?raf=8h2nh" target="_blank">Birchbox</a> & will continue to get & love their samples each month.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As for the lip gloss itself, I liked it. And it really is a <b>super cute </b>itty bitty thing. I do wish there was <u><b>more</b></u> color pigment in it. It's quite <b>sheer</b> on which a lot of people like, but I like <b>COLOR</b>. And with that bright pink in the bottle I thought it would be bright & colorful. It was a pretty shade of pink on me, just not bright like it looks. I love the formula though. My lips stayed moisturized for <b>HOURS</b> with this stuff. I'm going to have to look through their colors & see if I can find one I really like because I really like the way this feels on my lips.</div>

I really did love the way the Jouer felt on my lips though. And I don't totally hate the color. It's a light, fresh pink. But I'm dying for the same formula in that crazy <b>bright</b> color I see in the bottle.</div>

The bag itself was really fun. I love the <b>mesh</b> bags they sent in the July bags, & I loved this guy as well. He is a beautiful orange mesh <span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>(thick too)</b></span> with a bright pink zipper. He seems a lot stronger than last month's bag. I'll definitely put him to good use. These mesh bags are <b>FABULOUS</b> at the pool because you can take your shampoos <b>WITH YOU</b> into the <b>SHOWERS</b>. The mesh allows them to get wet & dry quickly.<b> I LOVE THEM.</b></div>

I have mixed feelings about the Eclos products. First we'll talk about the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Eclos Cellular Activator Facial Serum</span></b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do like this product & it's a fantastic sample size. Other beauty subscription services could learn some things from MyGlam. Their samples really are <b>DELUXE</b>. They are the perfect size for <b>REALLY</b> trying products out & seeing of you'll like them enough to purchase them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The serum is nice. I can feel it tighten my face when I apply it & I haven't had any adverse reactions to it & I've used it for almost a week now. The only thing I don't like about it is the smell. I'm all about smells & tastes so if something doesn't smell good, I most likely won't purchase it regardless of how good it is. . . It's definitely not the best way of judging products, but that's just how I am.</div>

The <b><span style="font-size: large;">Demeter Roll On Perfume Oil </span></b>was fun to try. I've never had a perfume oil in a roll on container before. I was thrilled to get the <b>Dragon Fruit </b>scent. It's fruity & delicious. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the smell <b>disappeared</b> after about an hour. If it had the same staying power as some of the higher end perfumes out there I'd definitely consider buying more, but for something that only lasts an hour, it just isn't worth it to me.</div>

August is <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep's</a> <b>BIRTHDAY</b>. They celebrated the 1 year anniversary of the beginning of the<a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank"> Julep Maven</a> program. They had some great <b>metallics & chromes</b> to share with us mavens as well as a request I've put in to them a while back:</div>

Normally I'm a <b>Classic with a Twist</b>, but this month I opted for <b>Bombshell</b> to switch things up a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is what I got:</div>

The <b><span style="font-size: large;">tote</span></b> is adorable. I've been using it to keep a few diapers & wipes in my car. . . I know, totally <b>UN-glamourous</b>, but it's the perfect size for that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The reason I switched to the Bombshell box this month was for <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Harley</b></span>. Not only does my sister have an adorable dog named Harley, but this color was the color I've been looking for for a while now. It's the perfect <b><span style="font-size: large;">silver chrome.</span></b></div>

I put her on right away. I think all metallics & chromes apply a little streaky<b> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(I've never found one that didn't),</span></b> but the streaks on this one were minimal. I was impressed. She was a beautiful as I imagined she would be.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Kim</b></span> also came in the bombshell box as well. I haven't had the chance to try her out, but I plan to soon.

My favorite product by far was the<span style="font-size: large;"><b> <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep</a> Nail Polish Remover. </b></span>I've been waiting for them to come out with a polish remover for months now & was <b>THRILLED</b> when I saw it in my box. It has a pump lid to control how much remover you're using. . . less mess. It's <b>WONDERFUL</b>. The remover takes off polish like magic <span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>(& without acetone)</b></span> & it smells almost like lavender. I love it. I got another one as my add-on for the month & I plan to buy many more. I'll never go back to my cheap nail polish remover again.</div>

My "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>SMELL</b></span>" item was the<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b> Harvey Prince Hello perfume</b></span>. I'm not a big perfume user so I have to be madly in love with it for me to keep it, but I have several friends who <b>LOVE</b> it. They always get excited when I get a new perfume in my <a href="https://www.birchbox.com/?raf=8h2nh" target="_blank">birchbox</a> because 9 times out of 10 it means they get it. This scent was not bad, but it wasn't me either.</div>

The bag was <b>ADORABLE</b>. I love that it's mesh so it can get wet. <b>PERFECT</b> for showers at the pool. I put my travel shampoos & conditioners inside every time I go swimming now & just keep the whole bag in the shower with me. It dries off quickly because it's mesh & it's <b>GREAT</b>.

I'm in <b>LOVE</b> with the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>CIRCUS</b></span> nail polish. The color is bright & fun & I'll definitely be buying some more of them when Andrea's Choice releases them this fall. I'm dying for the pink one.</div>

The <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Juice Beauty SPF 15 Moisturizer</span></b> smells <b>AMAZING</b>.

I am completely & totally <b>IN LOVE </b>with the<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Josie Maran Magic Mark Lip & Cheek Stain</span></b>. I got the color <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Jitterbug</b></span> & it's the <b>bright neon pink</b> I've been looking for. The sample was a full size too. I would have been happy with my MyGlam bag if this was the only thing in it. These stains stay on for 12+ hours for me which is unheard of. Lipsticks & stains usually only last 2-3 hours on me. <b> I LOVE THIS STUFF.</b></div>

I'm on the fence about the<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b> Nume Hydropunch Hydrating Conditioner</b></span>. It works well enough, I just don't like the smell.

So overall, this was a <b>GREAT</b> bag. The total value equaled well over the $10 I paid for it, but it was stuff that I liked & that I'll actually use which is <b>WAY</b> more worth it to me than really expensive things I'll never use. My mom will love the moisturizer. I'm using the conditioner for my travels, & I love everything else in the bag. Great work MyGlam Team.</div>

Why is it so stinkin' hard to resist those <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep</a> Mystery Boxes? I tell myself <b>EVERY</b> time they come out with one that I don't need it, but somehow I always end up ordering one. And I <b>ALWAYS</b> love them. This was my 3rd mystery box & once again, I found a new color that I would <b>NEVER</b> buy on my own, but fell madly in <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">love</span></b> with. I guess that's why I keep buying them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was the first <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep</a> product I ever got & now I can't keep enough on hand. I always get giddy when I get one of these travel sized guys. They are perfect for my purse. I also adore their <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">crystal nail file.</span></b> They last forever & since I already have one, I'll be gifting this to my dear friend for her birthday.</div>

And my little <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">diamond in the rough</span></b> this time around is a color named <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Drew</span></b>.

Okay, so I'm<b> TOTALLY LOVING</b> the new <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ADD-ON</span></b> perk <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep Maven</a> has started doing every month. You get your monthly box worth $40 for $19.99, but they they allow you to add on 2 <b>MORE</b> colors for $5 each or you can add 2 pedi products for $10 each.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I got the <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">PRODUCT</span></b> box this month & opted for 2 of the new polish colors as my add-ons. It was a <b>FABULOUS</b> <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep</a> month!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what I got:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFr5IKaMWuVcn6XQeSwnzfts28P7KuozFc1bjC3oQqLtVDAe5DrB5Dn7YIWhyphenhyphen69LWqMjJ9hxUWa2p4zou_Xjdwksmt7ZIIpo6qv70-ASEzJ6lw42YDjyxkN8UIdEkrDmg5SgCn4JRZl_s/s1600/DSC02663.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFr5IKaMWuVcn6XQeSwnzfts28P7KuozFc1bjC3oQqLtVDAe5DrB5Dn7YIWhyphenhyphen69LWqMjJ9hxUWa2p4zou_Xjdwksmt7ZIIpo6qv70-ASEzJ6lw42YDjyxkN8UIdEkrDmg5SgCn4JRZl_s/s320/DSC02663.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>"Classic With A Twist" </b></span>so I got the Product Box this month & I couldn't be happier. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b> The Best Pedi Prep Ever</b></span> is amazing. It came with a fun little foot file to help get those crazy callouses off your feet so you'll be sandal ready in no-time. This product is normally $20 by itself + $6 for the foot file. So this alone is worth more than what I paid for the box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the roller ball on the tip of this product. You simply roll it along your heels or any areas of your feet that are hard & calloused, let it sit for a few minutes, & then file all the dead skin away. It's truly <b>amazing</b>. I couldn't believe how soft my feet were after this.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other big product in my box was the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Sicilian Orange Foot Soak</span></b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is probably my all-time favorite <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242" target="_blank">Julep</a> product <b>EVER</b>. This retails for $26 putting my box worth at $52. I paid $19.99. How awesome is that?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can actually see the <b>orange peels</b> inside the foot soak. The whole thing smells citrusy & fabulous. I gave my tired feet a bath in this the other night & not only were they soft & smooth afterward, but my husband even commented on how good I smelled. It's <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">GREAT</span></b> stuff.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course I added on 2 fabulous colors from the other boxes this month for only $5 each. You can't beat that since these polishes retail for $14 EACH. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Fina</span></b> (a blueish silvery chrome) & <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kylie</span></b> (an eggplant magnetic polish). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Fina</span></b> is a new favorite. I absolutely loved the way this looked on my fingers. I Have <b>SO MANY CLOTHES </b>this color & I just couldn't get over how cool the chrome finished looked.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kylie</span></b> is fun too. It's pretty on it's own, but it's really fun to get the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>magnet</b></span> out to make stripes in your polish. (You can see the stripe effect in the photo of the 2 polishes above.) I had a hard time getting it to work on my toes, but I'm still learning. This was my very first experience with a magnetic polish. It was really fun.</div>

In this case, no. It smelled like a perm & made my hair greasy & sticky for some reason. I didn't like it at ALL. I'm amazed I kept trying to use it for four full days.

I'm still on the fence on that. I'm so much of a cheapskate when it comes to things like this that I can't justify paying $80 for much of anything. But I did it because I wanted to own something really nice, & it is. The first thing I noticed was how <b>fast</b> it <b>heats up</b>. I don't have to sit & wait 10 minutes for it to get hot enough to do my hair. Literally in <b>1-2 minutes</b>, it's hot & ready to roll. The second thing I noticed was that it does <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><b>NOT</b></span> pull your hair. Every flat iron I've ever owned just <b>rips</b> the hair out of my head. I thought that was normal. I thought for sure this thing was a piece of junk because it didn't even get a good grip on my hair, but I soon realized that maybe that's the way it's <b>SUPPOSED</b> to be. Maybe my flat iron <b>SHOULDN'T</b> be ripping all my hair out. It flat ironed my hair <b>super fast</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:85%;"><b> (even thought it's heat plates are much smaller than my last flat iron's)</b></span> & it gives you hair a really pretty <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:180%;">shine</span></b>. I like it. It does work wonders on my girls' hair. My 4 1/2 year old has the most unmanageable hair I've ever seen. This flat iron made her hair <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:180%;">GORGEOUS </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;">& Super Shiny</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;">. </span> She loved it! I didn't realize how long her hair is since it wasn't all matted up in a curly mess. ha ha ha. So I highly do NOT recommend this flat iron for the $165 retail price, but the $80 I paid for it. . . maybe if you're wanting something nice for a change. Though I do feel it's kind of odd to get something in my glam bag that <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">cost me $80 </span></b>in the end if you know what I mean. But I do like getting discounts every now & again, just not <b>EVERY</b> time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqQ4giHJOJMfkmD8VhNLKjn_EwOawecQGbs0qNjp8XRSf7Eio_TmO72VXdEhJJa8OKcqb8jSmIu1F92nQo4aZ9s2uYLb6_LHWmQgLNY8V4MBuTJ4gBB1wGfXvjd6ybqXqM3wKITak77mQ/s320/DSC01366.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713196641090884946" style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaEKSWDFPVgkdOxk0BHSUux-DV7d4kbqg1cNL8q1aH3ISgd7xG_xyGMGUHrYPDUI-e2QlhtrobzPMvpqcKlYp3RFfVmHChyNpeWIZFixd9lCBZyLgszDlEWEBgEcqu6taHtIa68FjDxw4/s320/DSC01369.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713195215505457490" style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So let's see how February's Glam Bag added up.

This is serum to put on your face to help make your <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">acne</span></b> clear up. It's made up of <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">organic ingredients</span></b> which I appreciate. There are a lot of harmful ingredients in skin care & make-up these days. I like going back to the basics. The smell of this guy wasn't bad. It didn't really smell like much of anything so I guess that's better than something that stinks right? I don't have a problem with acne so in the long run I probably wouldn't buy this, but it might be great for those that do have acne issues.

A week ago <a href="http://julep.com/?r=18545242">Julep</a> had a promo where you could purchase a<b> "Mystery Box"</b> filled with surprise products for $19.99. The boxes contents were guaranteed to be <b>worth $60-$200.</b> I knew at once I'd get a $60 box. I'm never lucky enough to win the big guys, but even $60 worth of my favorite nail products for $20 is a <b>GREAT</b> deal. I got Mystery Box #1 & this is what was inside:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love it when they throw fun little things in there.

I know how to use glitter & sequins, but does anyone out there know how to apply <b>"fluff" </b>to their fingernails properly? Can you put top coat over it?

I have to admit, I had a hard time putting them on dry. They didn't show up on my skin which is <b>VERY</b> pale to begin with, but then I tried getting my brush wet first & <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:180%;">WOW</span>. That did the trick. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">dark brown </span></b>is a <b>matte</b> color. Although it looks glittery in the palette, it doesn't have much shimmer on the eye. But it is a pretty color, especially in the <b>crease</b>. The <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">camel</span></b> color didn't show up at all on my eyes wet or dry so I'm not a huge fan of that guy. He's pretty much the exact color of my eyelids. :-) I bet he'd be a lot prettier on someone whose skin tone isn't like mine. He is also a <b>matte</b> color. The <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">middle shade of brown</span></b> is pretty & <b>DOES</b> have a shimmer to it. I like to brush him over my <b>eyelid</b> & he <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">sparkles</span></b>. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:85%;"><b> (I love sparkly things.)</b></span> My most used color in the palette is the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><b>white</b></span> guy. I use him over my entire <b>eyelid</b>. He has a little bit of shimmer & is a beautiful <b>base color</b> for your eye. I can already tell I'm going to be running out of him first. I use him almost every day. And the last little guy is a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><b>gold</b></span> that I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><b>LOVE</b></span>. He is <b>VERY</b> shimmery & is <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">GORGEOUS</span></b> just about anywhere on your eye. He's an easy way to dress up your look.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have a problem with my make-up wearing out by the end of the day & I <b>HATE</b> having to re-apply it.
