Nail Mail and purchases while out and about this week 5/27-5/29

So I wanted to start this where once a week I show off what I got in the mail or what I purchased, before you see my swatches and reviews of things. This will be anything cool I found while out. So not always completely nail or beauty stuff. I love sharing with you all. I love also hearing from you guys and finding out about your incredible finds throughout your week.

So first off I'm gonna start out with my nail mail. I got 3 botles of polish from ILNP (I Love Nail Polish) during her $3 sale for her old bases. I have really wanted to try out her polishes so I am super excited and the box is just too darned cute.

Next I got my Hooray for May Mystery Julep box with 6 polishes in it. I really love julep the polishes are really nice. I have seemed to misplace this box and I am going crazy trying to find it.

I got a bottle of Lime Crime's Creme De Lemon. I really love Lime Crime and I have yet to try the nail polish, so I was super excited.

Then I stopped at Target this week and got 2 really great superhero sippy cups. I got a Batman and a Wonderwoman one. I use them when I am working on my computer and all my swatching is happening so I don't spill on my computer or other stuff. But I am a little sad that the Wonderwoman one isn't that cute because it is the wrong colors, but that's ok. I still love them both.

Then I picked up the Sally Hansen Sugar Coat and Fuzzy Coat. I am in love with the new textured stuff so I really wanted to check out the new ones from this brand. I will be posting about them very soon. I got a bright vibrant blue and a peach one.

I went over to H&M because like 2 weeks ago they did a thing if you bought anything you got a giftcard for $5 towards your next purchase. So I picked up $15 worth of stuff for the $3 I spent 2 weeks ago. I got 4 lip balms, 1 set of wet wipes and a hair clip. I got $24 worth of stuff. I am quite happy with the stuff. I love the lip balms. I can't wait to review them for you guys.

I ran over to Urban Outfitters for the clearance sale they were having I grabbed 5 bronzers. I am in love with the bronzers. I haven't really used any bronzer so this is my new starter set.

I went to DSW and got two of the Anise polishes one neon green and a bronze. I really dig this polish. I fell in love with the other 2 that I got last time I had a $10 giftcard. That's how I grab the polishes whenever I get giftcards, since I own far too many pairs of shoes.

Lastly I picked up an adorable neon dress and a very cute black and neon green skirt. I got them on clearance over at Jcpenney. I loved them a month ago and when I saw them on clearance I was overly excited. I used the Giftcard I won to grab them.

Julep Hooray for May Mystery Box Version 2

So I got my May Mystery Box from Julep in the mail today and it's version 2 again.. lol.. I think they want me to always get version 2. So another small box, but that's the way of mystery boxes. This time the boxes were pure polish unless you got the big box. So it was 6 polishes or a ton more lol.

I instantly knew it was a small box by the size of the box I received. I was ok with that. The box they send is worth more then the price that I paid so it is always a great way to go.

This box came with 6 bottles of polish and a sample of hand creme. I thankfully didn't own any of the polishes so no dupes this time.

I got Alice, Avery, Sharon, Charlie, Vanessa, Grace

Julep Essential Cuticle Oil Review

I got this in my first ever julep box. I think I got the box in November 2012. I hadn't used this but today I found it while going through some boxes of polish. (Reorganization of my makeup, it will take weeks I am sure, and hopefully I will get everything into a nice organized setting.)

This Julep Essential Oil smells really nice. I like the way it smells. I could smell my nails more often then probably I should, in that looks crazy sort of way. It has a almost spicy smell to it.

It goes on very oily (yes its oil duh) but it dries pretty quickly, so that's not a problem. I am not sure how nail polish will go on after using it. I will be finding that out shortly.

I have seen some people say use it to keep polish from sticking to your skin when you are doing things like sugar spun nails, or gradient, to keep your skin clean.

I am going to start using this and will see how it will work on my nails.

It's Spring Julep Mystery Box version 2

I have decided I'm going to keep getting the Mystery Boxes on the off chance that I get lucky enough to get one of the big ones. This time I was not so lucky. I again got a smaller box. I do love the polishes so I am happy that the box came with 4 of them.

So here is what is inside the It's Spring Julep Mystery Box version 2.

Pomegranate Body Creme ( I got this last time so I was a bit bummed, but I might be swapping it for something else with another Julep lover so yay.)

4 polishes in Sienna, Niecy, Mindy and Cindy.

Sienna is a bronze shimmer polish. Very beautiful.

Niecy is a creamy pink polish.

Mindy is a porcelain beige color.

Cindy is a green with gold shimmer.

This was my box. I will be getting the May Mystery Box as well if they still have it available in a few days. Look forward to the opening shortly.

Julep Mystery Sea Salt Box

I bought the Julep Mystery Sea Salt Box and was so excited to have it coming on its way. I will say I got a #4. I was hoping for anything other then the smallest box of mystery. So I was a little sad, but it is great products so I'm not too sad.

I got 3 polishes and a body scrub and a body cream. The colors are beautiful and I don't already own any of them so yippee. I haven't tried the body products yet so this will be something new and fun for me.

Great items from Julep as always. I really like the three colors that I got. They are all beautiful. This is just an unveiling of the box, swatches of the colors will be coming up shortly.

Ally is a gorgeous Blue, Melissa is a holo white and Sadie is a sea salt finish dark red I believe, maybe brownish black, haven't swatched it yet. Swatches to come soon of all 3 colors and a review on the body products.. They have been placed in que :)

If you haven't started out with Julep you might want to, the polish is very nice and the other products are fun to play with. If you decide you can check it out here. If you do Use FREEBOX and get your first box for only $3.99. JULEP MAVEN
