Julep Light On Your Lips Lipstick Review

My new favorite Winter lipstick is the Julep Light On Your Lips Full-Coverage Crème Lipstick in Strut which is a  Plum Nectar Crème.

What’s to love?

I am a huge fan of the Julep products in general so when I got this lipstick in one of mystery boxes I was thrilled.  The creme formula not only has great coverage but it looks amazing and gives my Winter lips a little moisture. It has:

  • Shea Butter heals dryness and enhances moisture
  • Rosehip Seed Oil delivers essential nutrients to protect, soothe, and repair
  • Malvaceae Lipid Extract improves barrier function so lips retain moisture
  • Green Coffee Bean Oil invigorates skin and promotes cell turnover

I love the plum shade of Strut  which is a nice dark purple shade with a little raisin in the mix. It looks great with bronze eyeshadow too.

Overall I love this formula. It’s a creme that feels like a sheer and I only have to reapply every few hours.

Julep Dance in the Darkness Eclipse Set

I ordered the Julep Dance in the Darkness set for the Eclipse  knowing it would come a little later and I’m so glad I did. These shades are amazing and perfect for Halloween too. I am a Julep Maven and got this Sweet Steal set for $14 ($56 value).

I am wearing Blakey and it’s so pretty.  This is a great Fall color for me if you’re a Harry Potter fan you’re going to love it! It reminds me of the color of a caldron.

Julep Judy! My Nails Shine Like The Eclipse Corona!

I wanted to do something fun for the eclipse today. I actually ordered the “Dance in the Darkness” set but it won’t be here until Wednesday so I decided to paint my nails with the Judy shade which is Moonbeam Iridescent Chrome. I got this in my Julep Fall All The Way Mystery Box!

I absolutely love this sparkly shade. It perfect for Fall, a Harry Potter party, Halloween and viewing the eclipse!

Julep Elsie Wonder Maven Holographic Jelly Review

I absolutely love the Julep Holographic shades and Elsie is my late Summer favorite. Elsie is a Strawberry Popsicle Holographic Jelly.

What’s to love?

This color is just magic! It’s got a red orange base with flecks of gold and purple which gives it the holographic effect.

I love how easy it is to apply and it dries with a very shiny finish. I also love that Julep nail polishes tend to last a little longer than most. I am wearing two coats in this photo.

It’s also a 5-free, vegan-friendly formula.

Julep It’s Balm Full-Coverage Lip Crayon Review

The Julep It’s Balm Full-Coverage Lip Crayon in Ripe Raspberry Shimmer is gorgeous! I got this in my Julep Let’s Glow Out Mystery Box and I am thrilled.

What’s to love?

This Julep lip crayon is now one of my favorites. It comes in 18 shades and has a super-hydrating treatment core enriched with sunflower butter and vitamin E.

The crayon is a semi-gloss that perfectly plumps my lips with a little bit of shine. The Ripe Raspberry Shimmer color is so pretty for Summer too.

I feel like my lips are getting moisture while they look amazing and the formula is very pigmented and has great lasting power for a crayon. I really want a few more of these for my make-up bag and purse.

Price: $20.00 or $16 for Julep Mavens
