I also got 3 more nail polishes, a mate lipstick and gel eyeliner.
Price: $24.99 Special with $100 worth of products.
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:
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.

Check out my Julep Golden Ratio Mystery Box For December 2017 video.
Julep is one of my all time favorite nail polishes and the #Coveted 2017 12-Piece Mini Nail Set is amazing!
What’s to love?
This is a “Best Of” Set for 2017 and you get 12 3 mL mini bottles. They are about half the size of a regular Julep bottle.
I love everything from the box (designed by artist & illustrator Gretchen Röehrs) to the shades. I am wearing Arelene (Classic with a Twist) – Frosted Peach Shimmer.
I got this set over Black Friday weekend and it was paired up with the #Coveted Best of 2016 Nail Color Collection for $34.99 for both sets.
These would make great gifts too.
Set includes:
Fall is finally here and I am so excited but I wanted to give August a last shout out with these favs that I picked up.
Here’s the list of my August Favorites and my video reveal…
Julep Dance in the Darkness Eclipse Set – This set is so pretty!
The shades from left to right are…
Lush Veganese Conditioner – Veganese is a light Vegan conditioner with “a mineral-rich agar agar gel base to soften hair and a herbal rosemary and lavender infusion for a healthy scalp” and it has a lemon juice for shine.
Urban Decay Shadow Box Palette – You get 12 2 3/4″ x 1/2″ shades including Sin, Indo, Bordello, Tornado, Smog, Blackout, Flash, Mushroom, Lost, Freelove, Moonshadow and Baked Cowboy.
Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Backdoor – This shade is perfect for Fall!
MAC Upward Lash – The wand on this mascara is amazing!
Julep It’s Balm Full-Coverage Lip Crayon in Mulberry Cream – A deep red moisturizing lip crayon for Fall!
Lush Metamorphosis Bath Bomb – This one is a spicy one with black pepper oil, cinnamon leaf oil and Myrrh Resinoid but it smells really woodsy and good.
Lush Dark Arts Jelly Bomb! – Lush UK decided to release a new Bath Bomb called Darks Arts. It’s actually a new bath bomb called a jelly bomb and it looks amazing!
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).
The shade from left to right are…
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.
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!
Today I got the Julep Fall All The Way Mystery Box, there was also a Summer box called Summer, Please Stay. These are the Solstice or Equinox Mystery Boxes.
Here’s what I got.
I am pretty impressed with this box and can’t wait to try everything!
Also check out my Julep Fall All The Way Mystery Box video!
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.
