Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I hope your day was full of corn mazes, exploding pumpkins, costumes, and candy just like mine was! I can't believe that October is already gone!! Only a few more weeks and we will already be into Thanksgiving... and then Christmas!!! I will miss fall as we enter into the winter months. But for now I will continue to enjoy every last minute of Autumn that I can.

(P.S. If you can't figure out my costume I was Elena Gilbert from Vampire Diaries...once she gets turned into a vampire...)

What did you do for Halloween?

What are your favorite things to do before winter comes?

Julep Beauty Box

For quite some time now I have been hearing about these beauty boxes that you can subscribe to and have new products to try delivered right to your door. But the only problem is that most of them are quite expensive and definitely do not fit into a college student budget. 

So...Naturally I was looking around pinterest and I happened upon a pin that said I could get a beauty box for free!! It lead me Julep. 

It is really easy to sign up and get your first box free. They give you a cool little quiz so they can pick products that they think you are more likely to use. All I had to do was pay for shipping and it was only about $3! I was super excited because I had always wanted to get a beauty box. 

I ended up getting four items in my box.

1. The Julep Lip Gloss in the color Charming

2. Fluid Eye Glider in Jet Black

3. Nail Polish in the color Tatiana

4. Nail Polish in the color Hazel 

I didn't really like the eyeliner that much. It doesn't have a lot of liquid in it. But it is really easy to apply and the tip is really fine. So if you like lighter liquid eyeliners this would be great for you! I personally prefer eyeliners that are bit heavier even if the line is really fine. 

The lip gloss I really enjoy. It is a great color and really lasts. It also acts as a slight lip plumper. The color is a really soft pink and really matches almost every skin tone. I wear it quite a lot.

My favorite things in the box were definitely the nail polishes. I am the type of person that loves nail polish but doesn't always put it on. I hate that it can take many coats and then it'll just start chipping off the very next day. But I might be changed with these polishes! One coat was all I really needed for either of these colors. But...out of habit... I put on two. And they didn't start to chip until after about two weeks instead of two days! 

Lets just say I was pretty pleased with my first beauty box. Sadly... I am going to have to cancel the subscription so I can pay for food :P! But I am glad that I got to tryout some of the products from Julep. I will most definitely be shopping from there  a bit more now.

What beauty boxes have you tried out? 

Do you know of any others that give you your first box for free?
