Julep Maven!

My first Julep Maven box :)

It didn't take long for it to arrive and I was surprised at how undamaged
the box was XD everything was wrapped carefully and nothing was broken :)


It also came with a cute nail file :) always handy to have :)

I remember going to Niagara with Ric, he accidentally broke my pinky nail...
and I didn't bring a nail clipper or file -.- since we were only staying for a
few days, I didn't think I would need it :( haha anyway random note there :p

I love the colours :) I like any type of light pink so I can't wait to try the Jennifer :)
When I was ordering the box, I was thinking that I would give the purple to my
mom as part of her Mother's Day gift, and I am still definitely going to do that.
This is exactly the shade my mom would go for every time! such a lovely purple :)

I've never tried a hand scrub before, so this will be interesting.
The ingredients list is VERY promising as well!
I love how they are using natural ingredients :)

This is my referral link if you are interested :)
When you refer to 2 friends, you get a free month! :)
For new members, use the code COLOR2012 to get your first box for a penny!

indecisiveness

I decided to order a toner on iherb.com on March 13 and just got my
package this morning... I have been waiting forever! or at least it seemed
like it >< I've been trying to look for more natural, basic, inexpensive
alternatives when buying skincare. I used to look for products that would
contain a ton of ingredients, but now I realized that simple is better.

For new customers, you get $5 off your first purchase.
I have a personal code... feel free to use it :p IJI628

For a toner, I was looking for something that contained witch hazel, rose water,
and some form of a moisturizing ingredient = Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel
with Aloe Vera toner! :) what a lovely match :)

I believe this was around $6-7 and because it was my first time shopping
on there, I received an $8 discount for the month of March (usually $5).
Shipping was $6, so I basically paid $6 for this toner + shipping :D but
now I realized that I should have ordered more... because of the shipping
time >< I wanted to try the Acure dry shampoo but they were out of
stock... then the next day after I ordered, they were in stock -.-

After class, I decided to go to Shoppers to pick up a few items, since some of
the things I eventually need/wanted were on sale :D plus I had a coupon to get
20x the points :p so I couldn't let that opportunity get away :p

I picked up the Livingetc magazine, which is now currently my favourite
living/interior design magazine :) I also picked up my go-to acne treatment,
the Vichy Normaderm Active Anti-Imperfection Concentrate. I have always
wanted to try their acne concealer stick, so I picked that up as well. I thought
it would be a good item to have in my purse, to the beach, to travel, etc :)

I have been hunting for a new eyelash curler and the Quo eyelash curler (in gold),
has clearly and ultimately FAILED me >> it's too wide and flat for my eye shape ><
I think I'm going to sell it, as I already opened the package :( I was choosing between
the Quo and the Revlon, I should have gone with my instincts and went with Revlon -.-
The Quo eyelash curler does curl well though, just needs a bit of adjusting to :(

Last item... my Schick Quattro :) self explanatory :p

no nail post this week sorry :( I'm supposed to go get an MRI scan this Friday
on my hand/arm, so my mom told me to not wear any nail polish? although I'm
still not sure how that relates... does it? =\
