Julep Maven Review #2


This is my 2nd review for Julep- a monthly subscription for nail polish. I received the Nautical By Nature Welcome Box, used the code SHIPSHAPE, and paid only 2.99$. In this box I got 3 nail polishes, a duo eyeliner and a lip gloss

The 3 nail polishes I received were Kennedy, Michelle and Sheila. 
Kennedy- A Kahki creme
Michelle- A Midnight, inky blue creme
Sheila- Cherry pie red creme (yum!)

The lip gloss I received is called "Enchanted"- a sheer watermelon gloss. I'm normally not the type to wear lip gloss, but this one was amazing. It went on smooth, and it's not sticky. It smells super good too- like vanilla. This is definitely my summer staple. 
The eyeliner was really nice too. It was a duo eyeliner, with a shimmer brown at one end, and black at the other. It came with a sharpener too. I tried on the brown shimmer, and it went on pretty smooth. I like the automatic ones just because I haven't found a good pencil. This one is one of the better ones, and will be using it again in the future.

June Citrus Lane Review

Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription for young kids. Their boxes mainly include toys and food, but also bath and feeding accessories, as well as stuff for moms. It's also customized for the age and gender of your child, which is nice. This is my 4th time getting a Citrus Lane box. Someone posted a code that made the box only 9$, a steal compared to the 29$/mo price. So, I caved in and bought one again.

This box is for a 13 month old girl.
The box consisted of:
Peekaboo Book by: Taro Gomi- It looks like a pretty generic book like you would get at the dollar store. Claire really isn't interested in it, and frankly, the eyes on it kinda freak me out. Retail: 6.99$

(2) Mighty 4 Bars by Plum Organics- C loved these. I wish they would of given you more. Although, they did end up giving me a 1$ off future purchase of a pack of them. That was nice. Retail: 2$

Bumpkins Disney Wet Bag- C got the pink Minnie one, which is really cute. I'm sure this will come in handy with her wet swim suit, or a wet diaper for the 4th of July. Retail: 10.95$

Ouchies Adhesive Bandages- Summer is here, and my daughter is still adjusting to her walking. She is constantly getting scratches on her knees from falling, etc. I love how they're girly colors and have characters on them. But, they look pretty big for a toddler (regular sized). I'm not sure how I feel about that. Retail: 5$

Hape Wooden Boat Toy- C has so many toys like this from Citrus Lane. But, I guess we'll give it a shot and see how she likes it. Retail: 9.99$

20$ Off Thirdlove.com- I can't even use this because they don't have my size. I'm going to have to give this away to one of my friends. 

Total: 34$

This months box I could take it or leave it. If your interested in a box, use the code TAKE20OFF to get 20$ off your first box.
