Hey everyone! I just got my Julep Box and, um, I was going to review, um, it
for you becuase I've already had a chance to try everything. I just got it yesterday and
I just dove right in. The January 2013 is the Neons and Nudes
Collection. I'm pretty happy with it.
The first thing I saw when I opened the box...
uh
papers and things...were these little...
it has three little of these, um,
hair ties. And I actually really like these. I had a chance to try them out.
I didn't think they'd do such a good job holding back the hair, but I was
pleasantly surprised
They hold back the hair as well as the ones I'm used to.
And they were really really cute, so, um,
I've been wanting to try these out, so I was excited to see those in the box.
Um, I didn't, um,
ever--I didn't see the email,
um,
about the Julep box. So, I had no idea what I would be getting, um, so everything was a nice
happy surprise. Another thing was the, well, I guess I'll go straight to the nail colors.
I got two colors. I'm Classic with a Twist, so I got Grace
and Madison. Madison is named after that adorable little, um,
YouTuber. I think she's eight-years-old now.
And they named this color after her.
stickers
They gave you a whole sheet of them. They put swatch stickers on the tops.
and at first i was like well this is
really stupid. How am I supposed to swatch
this because it came on top.
you know, if my nail polish is like that. Well...
the top pops right off!
and you can
use the inner cap to swatch. The top--
let me, let me correct myself, the top for this one [Grace] popped right off. The top for
this one [Madison] was really really difficult to get off
at first. Now it just pops right off. So, when we
finally managed to get it off...it broke!
You see that? How it broke.
So, sad day. :( I'm kinda bummed about that. Of course, it has the outer cap
I think that'll keep it
sealed.
I was much more excited about Madison and than I was about Grace. But after I tried them,
I kinda, um,
had a little flip flop. I put Grace on first, on this hand.
And as you can see
Its really really shiny. I didn't put a top coat on.
this is
three coats of Grace
it dries super quickly
And it gives you
that sheer like pinky color. I've never really had a sheer
that I really like
and I really really really like this.
This'll be
a go-to color
for me this year which is not something i was expecting
I was actually kind of bummed when I saw this because I thought that I would never use it.
And now I think that this...I will use it a lot.
I'm very excited about this
this one
I thought it would be a lot more pigmented than it was
I mean, I like it. It is kind of a neon-y
hot pink...
...Coral! That's the word I've been looking for! I feel like its more pink than coral.
It looks a lot more pink on their website. I know I've got a lot of yellow going on
here, so, I mean, it looks down right...
orange
tangerine
..in the video. But, I swear it's
it's a pinky
color.
but
I mean, it dried quickly and everything.
and it's shiny now, but only because I buffed it out a lot
actually like on my jeans, I mean,
sweatpants
I rubbed it and rubbed until it got shiny, but before that, it was this weird
not matte
there's a swatch. I don't know if you can tell how that's not shiny at all.
It was this weird, not-matte-not-shiny color
almost like a
soft place
somewhere in between
matte and shiny. I don't even know how to describe that.
It wasn't as pigmented as I thought it was [going to be] and I just, I don't know, I just
didn't like it as much
The other thing was this Hand & Cuticle stick. It came in
this box.
I like this because you open it and it says "Shine On" and I thought that was cute! But, its like a big
gigantic
glue stick! That's what it feel like. It feels like a glue stick.
And, you, I mean. It is.
It's like a stick.
It's like a lotion stick, I guess. Right when I got this [Julep box], I had just taken off some
Kiss acrylic
nails and my nails looked absolutely hideous. And just, like,
ravaged, you might even say!
So, I put this on just to see what happened and it
Was a
miracle product for my nails! I thought they would look yucky for a
couple days.
Or at least until I had covered them with nail polish. And this just
made them look nice and you know
and I was really really pleasantly surprised. I don't particularly
like using it as a lotion. It is moisturizing, but
I feel like it's kind of weird to have to rub this all over your hands
and then
there's not much to rub in because it,
you know, it puts a really thin layer on. I really like
squeezing some lotion onto my hands and using it that way. But this is
definitely
a keeper.
I've been keeping it in my purse since I got it
yesterday
and I really like this and I like having it on hand.
uh...
It smells good
and it did a beautiful job healing up my nails.
Hre's the colors again, so you can see.
I can't tell you the longevity of them [the colors] because I just painted them today.
But, I really really really like this color.
I really do.
And so I'm very excited about that.
And that's what was in my Classic with a Twist
Julep January 2013 box.
Thanks for watching! I hope everyone has a happy New Year. Bye! :)
