Julep Maven Box and Nail Files

After 2 months of skipping my Julep Maven Box, I decided I deserved this month's box...just because.  Especially since it included some brand spanking new items!!  I chose the "Modern Beauty" Box.


This box of fun included: (descriptions are from their website)
Sugar Smooch Lip Scrub - This scrumptious blend of brown sugar, molasses, conditioning oils, vitamin E, and shea butter will leave your lips soft, smooth, and ready for color (or kisses)
American Beauty Volumizing Mascara - Jet black. Lash growth enhancement ingredients and micro-fiber applicator separates, conditions, and plumps individual lashes for a thick and gorgeous finish
New York Jazz Lipstick - Silky little lip colors inspired by the Roaring Twenties. Set Includes: Tea for Two - Nude shimmer lip sheer, Satin Doll - Poppy lip sheer, Lady in Red - Matte crimson lip color
It also included some cute flower bobby pins!


Here are the lipsticks - love them!!
I also added on the Julep Boho Glam Polish in "Alice" - a shimmery purple. 



Here is how my manicure turned out this week using my Julep polish!  I also used two of the polishes I got in this swap - Ruby Kisses "Black Eutopia" and "Snow White".

This is my first time attempting "nail art" using tape - let's just say practice makes perfect and I'm going to need some more practice.

Want to have nail polish, lipstick, and tons of other goodies shipped to you every month??  Sign up now by clicking below and then patiently wait for your first shipment to arrive!!  Annnnd a little birdy told me you can use the code "FREEBOX" to get your first box for free...yep, FREE!!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Halloween Treats

For work gifts this year, I used these free printables  and these free printables  to make these cute little treats!  I had a lot of fun making them.  I dragged my poor mom and David around to so many stores looking for different colored Tic Tacs and eyeball candy.  I wanted very badly to make the Vampire Vitamins...who knew it would be so hard to find red Tic Tacs! I also made this easy Halloween Bark. What You Need:   1 Package Halloween Oreos Candy Corn 2 Packages Wilton Candy Melts in White Halloween Sprinkles - I ended up using different sprinkles than the ones in the picture...a girl has a right to change her mind, right? Pretzels - I stole these out of our Trick-or-Treat bowl because I felt like it needed something to offset all the sweetness. 1. Crumble up the Oreos.  I crushed some by hand, some in my food processor and broke some in halves and some in fourths.  Spread out on cookie sheet over wax/parchment paper.  Sprinkle candy corn
