NOTE: I forgot to login and change my box...sad sad face!

And here is what I got in my July 2016 box:

20160705_210639.jpg
20160705_210707.jpg
I got Julep Lip Gloss - Delighted, I'm not the biggest fan of lipgloss...I much rather have matte lipsticks or liquid lipsticks. I didn't even bother swatching this as I know I'll end up giving this away!
20160705_210911.jpg
I also got this Diamond Powder Bronzer in Light gold Bronze. Again, I do not use bronzers...so this was a no go for me. Didn't test it as I will be giving this away too!
20160705_210815.jpg
As for the nail polish I got Camilla...mehhhh for the colour. I preferred Fleur, Sam or Tomi shade... This I'll keep, but it's so sheer!
And lastly:
20160705_210939.jpg
The little bonus treat was probably my most favourite thing in the box! Tasted delicious and didn't last more than two bites.

Overall conclusion:

This box was pretty disappointing (and yes it was my fault for not picking out an option), the only good thing about it was the bonus treat that came with it (so yummy). I don't like any of the face/make up products, nail polish was mediocre. Plus...what happened with the new lip shades??? This was a disappointing box...so 2/10.

Julep June 2016 Review

What is Julep?

Julep is a monthly subscription for nails and beauty subscribers. Their products are their own. Each Month Julep releases new collection on the 20th, and subscribers can pick and chose with box they want, or skip the month.

Costs: $24.99 (USD) per month

Ships: Canada and USA

And here is what the box looks like:
20160701_163217.jpg
I'll only be reviewing the nail polish from the June 2016 collection and not my added polishes!
20160701_163241.jpg
And here are some added bonuses:
20160701_163255.jpg
So firstly we got some Necco sweets, I really didn't like these...they tasted a tad strange! Had two and threw the rest away, maybe it's an acquired taste. But definately not for me and I would rate 1/10.
Secondly we also got some chevron nail stencils. Not bad, enough to do your entire hands and who doesn't like chevron nails eh! I would give these 6/10
20160701_163431.jpg
Up first we have Naveena - Wonder Maven. I loved this colour when I saw the sneak preview and I still love it now. Even though the swatch was only one coat, it's definitely a beautiful colour! I'd give this a 8 / 10
20160701_163527.jpg
Next we have Luella - colour of the Year 2016. This is a lovely baby pink shade, perfect for weddings! I wasn't too keen on this colour when I first saw the preview, but then as I swatch it..I immediately fell in love with it. It's a perfect shade for those lazy nude days. I'd give this a 9 / 10.
20160701_164020.jpg
Up next is Lindsey - Boho Glam. This is another pink shade for this collection, but leaning more towards coral colour. Again, I'm pretty shocked with the colour...very nice for the summer! And these dry super quick too! I'd give this 9/ 10
20160701_164249.jpg
Up next we have Lorraine - Classic With a Twist. This colour was okay, it's described as a mulberry colour and I agree. It's a shimmer finished which is nice. I think I'm less impressed with this because of the two pinks before hand. I'd give this a 6 / 10.
20160701_163713.jpg
Next we have Matilda - Colour of The Year 2o16. This was one of the three colours that I was really looking forward too and sadly this colour I was slightly disappointed with. The preview showed a nice pastel shade of blue, and this is close enough...but for me it's missing that slight pastel finish. It's still nice but not what I thought it would be. 5.5 / 10.
20160701_164126.jpg
Next we have Alaina - Classic With a Twist. This was another shade I was looking forward too, a really nice mushroom nude colour. Finding the perfect nude is difficult for me...how about you guys? I was super excited to see this and I'm impressed that it matched that mushroom nude shade...but it's not my ideal perfect nude shade. This colour is very creamy and is great for weddings as well. I'd give this a 8.5 / 10.
20160701_163835.jpg
Finally the last shade in the collection, Adrian - Boho Glam. This was the one shade that completely grabbed my attention and my goodness this colour is gorgeous! This is such a creamy yellow shade, perfect for summer and the pool! I love how this shade is not in your face and it's a calm yellow tone! 10 / 10.
I did get some added bonus, which I will write another review with my other Julep polishes.
So did you like your Julep 2016 box?

GlossyBox May 2016 Review

What is GlossyBox:
GlossyBox is a monthly subscription box that costs around $21 per month (Depending on which plan you choose). In each box you get 5 luxury size products to try out. For more information, click here
Costs:
There are three different types of Glossybox subscriptions: a monthly package ($21/month), a 6-month package ($126), and a 12 month package ($222). All regular subscriptions are recurring, unless cancelled within the term deadline.
*Canadian addresses will incur a $5 shipping fee for each box/month purchased.

Here is a closer look on what is inside the box:
20160629_205826
And the list of products:


20160629_205850

Product details: Focusing on Eastern traditions, this foaming shower gel combines natural ingredients including White Lotus and Yi Yi Ren to hydrate and smooth skin. Trust us, this will become the best part of your bath ritual!

Full Size Value: $15.00 / 6.7 Fl.Oz
Box Value: $3.58 / 1.6 Fl.Oz

Verdict: This smells AMAZING! I love it and I'm definitely going to order more. This smells and feels amazing after the shower!

20160629_211441

Product Details: 'In need of a serious pick - me - up? Featuring a combination of age defying active ingredients, Adore Cosmetics' cellmax Elite Facial Serum rejuvenates your tired skin and helps restore what environmental damage and time have taken away'

Full Size Value: $749.95 / 1.7 fl oz
Box Value: $220.57  / 0.5 fl oz

Verdict: Okay, firstly let's talk about the price! I was just as shocked as you..almost $750 for this facial serum! Even the sample is worth over $220..and that it simply crazy! Okay, onto the actual product, I'm glad it's a good sample size..so there is enough to test out the product. I didn't really like the smell, it had a faint perfume smell and I don't want that on my face. It glides on smoothly and it does feel pretty good afterwards too. I wouldn't buy this for that price and even at a lower cost..maybe not even then.

20160629_211414

Product Details: 'Removing oils that clog hair follicles and environmental residues from the scalp, Nioxin's therapeutic cleanser and conditioner will balance moisture levels and help locks appear thicker.'

Full Size Value: $49.00 / system kit
Box Size Value: $49.00 / System Kit

Verdict: I think this is the full system, not even sure to be honest. But I never used this because I don't have fine hair..so this will probably be in a giveaway.

20160629_211423

Product Details: 'Skin in need of a boost? Talika's Phyto-Hydra Day utilizes an amino-acid that recreates the effects of natural light on the skin so you can sport a summer glow all year long.

Full Size Value: $29.00 / 1.0 fl oz
Box Value: $29.00 / 1.0 fl oz

Verdict: This is a nice skin moisturizer, it was quick to absorb and lightweight. It does have a slight scent to it too. I probably won't be purchasing this again.

20160629_211222.jpg

Product Details: 'Step away from the eyelash curler! Inspired by hair rollers, this mascara want features custom - designed hooks that separates, lifts and curls lashes for a 12 hour finish.'

Full Size Value: $24.00 / 0.3 fl oz
Box Size Value: $8.00 / 0.1 fl oz

Verdict: I've used this sample before and it's not a bad mascara. I don't love it nor hate it.
Total Box Value: $310.15
