My First Beauty Army Kit

Okay, okay, I know... no nail polish but I couldn't help but share. This is the only other beauty box that I have subscribed to other than Julep. Since Julep has hit a home run with me, I did some research and I decided to sign up for this particular one because I loved the idea of choosing your own samples. I signed up a couple of months ago and I was wait listed. When I got the notice that I could sign up I jumped at the chance.

After taking a beauty profile quiz, you are shown 9 different products to choose from. You get to choose 6 and it's $12/month. I finally got my kit today...

The box is very cute with pink army print on the inside...

The packaging is so carefully done, that you feel privileged to have received it, BUT I don't think it's necessary.  When researching this beauty box, the products were individually wrapped but they didn't come that way. That's good because I don't think I would like unwrapping every single tube.

Pssssst! - The original dry shampoo

Mama Mio Boob Tube - firming neck & breast cream

Mymix Foundation in Medium

Cellceuticals Neocell - micro-resurfacing skin treatment

Babor Sunscreen

Befine Night Cream 

I can't say that I'm completely satisfied with my first box because I wish there were more cosmetics to choose from. I didn't really care for the fancy packaging because it made me wonder, if they did without it, will the products be better? I'll try this out for a couple more months and hope that there will be more to choose from.

NOTD - OPI Who the Skrek are You?

I know I post a lot about Julep, I just can't help it, I love the stuff!! So, here is a break... I bought this dress at Target...

 

I looked through my stash to see what matched...

Perfect! I didn't have any top coat for these pictures because I wasn't sure whether or not to put crackle on top. I ended up just putting it on one. OPI, you are a good friend to me.

2 coats of polish

I use Orly's rubberized base coat and Poshe's top coat, my polish lasts for days!

My FIRST Follower!! You win a prize!!

Congratulations to, Annabelle for being my first follower!! I did not announce that this would be momentous because whoever it was going to be was going to get something! It will be lacquer, of course... and I will be posting exactly what she will be getting. Whoopee!!!

This is Melissa and she will be going to a good home...

NOTD - Julep's Charlotte

This has got to be one of my favorite shades. Julep's Charlotte is a soft purple creme that only took one coat to get that opaque layer.

The picture shows the shade is a little brighter than it actually is. It's more subtle and dusty, such as lavender. That's it... lavender, but if I were to compare it to another shade, it would probably be like Color Club's Uptown Girl
