Julep Maven Beauty Box | Review

MIGHTY nail and cuticle serum, Black Canvas face primer,  Kendra- nail polish, Oscar- nail polish


         By now, i'm sure you've heard of the polish company Julep. They have a beauty box subscription called Maven- I like the idea, but the execution... not to much to be desired. I'm not a huge person when it comes to nail polish. I like to go more natural unless i have the time and money to go to the nail salon where they can make it look gorgeous and last longer.
I've a few different post from several bloggers listing many issues with Julep and i'd have to say i'd agree with most of the other beauty bloggers. After receiving the box I ended up canceling my subscription a few days later. I wasn't very impressed with the amount of stuff i've got. I've bought the Beauty Box 5, and they carry more of a selection and amount in there box. Also i've seen and read that there's other boxes out there that have more products that they send out. I feel that after getting just one box i'd be bore receiving more. Also when I called to cancel my subscription the lady I talked to was not the nicest person. She had an attitude and just was not the easiest to deal with.
I join because they were having a sale and I ended up getting the box for free(paying only for shipping), and I wouldn't pay for another box after this experience.

I hope this post has been informative- hehe

This Week #1

The Week from Instagram @sierrarain_becomingmyself: Basically how what my week was filled with // Hibiscus iced tea and lemonade from one of my favorite places for grub // My cloudy day smiles // Field trip to the great land of Sephora // Bath bars and soaps from Lush Cosmetics // My all time favorite store anthro as all was mastered brining happiness into my life just by entering the store // The Oh, so gorgeous sunset from my back lawn.

Product Pick of the Week: I've been really loving the L'Oreal true match (spf 17/cool) foundation in alabaster C1. I've been really loving the way it sits on my skin. I've always been a bit scared to try any kind of foundation because I have freckles and I thought i'd be way to hard to use foundation or even find foundation that didn't cover them, but gave me coverage. Up until about a month ago i'd been using BB cream- it was ok but didn't provide the coverage that i wanted sometimes for party nights or more proper occasions. I've been really loving this foundation. 

Blog Post of the Week: I've really been raving about The Private Life of a Girl. I love the layout and colors so clean and chic. All of her pictures are so unique and I absolutely love them! My favorite post this week? Since I Met You- I'd love to create a wall like this eventually. If I ever get up enough patience and will power to do each and ever little print off or remember to save the little things.

Must-Hear of the Week: Not necessarily beauty related, but maybe you can have a glimpse of the kind of music I absolutely love. I Know- Tom Odell this song is so gorgeous and just lightens my mood completely, right up there with my favorite songs now! My second choice is The Lonely Hour- Sam Smith Man, this song is so emotional and raw. I've had it on reply for the past 3 hours now, I love the acoustic- his voice is just perf.

Added to the Wish List this Week: So I may be a little slow to the finish line, but I'm dying to get my hands on the newest Urban Decay palette #3! It's so gorgeous and the color scheme is so beautiful. Urban Decay never fails to deliver! A girl can never have to many palettes right?

So this morning I decided to pop into Lush Cosmetics and I should haven't known, every time I go I'm always picking some more lovely products. I've been craving some bath time so I decided to pick up a bubble bar and bomb. Lush cosmetics is one of my favorite places to go- everytime I walk in it's like I've walked into another beautiful world! Ithe pink bath melt smells like cottencandy and let me tell you it is to die for! I wish I could have a scratch it or something on my page where you could smell it!! I'd really like to try there lips stains- there gorgeous and look so interesting! I think that'll be my next purchase. Let me know if you'd like me to do a review on the lip stains!

New Out Reach!

      Although I haven't officially started posting anything dramatically interesting, in fact this being the first post I'm publishing... I'm trying to learn more about blogging and starting out. Sucking up as much information as possible.
      I will say this will be my 3rd attempt at blogging. My last blog was going great for a while and then I got preoccupied with school and work. I'm determined more then ever to actually achieve a dream I've had for a while now- blogging!
      Now, I've set up a account with Bloglovin and it's very informative when trying to connect with other bloggers! I love it already.
