Julep Your Lip Addiction Tinted Lip Oil Treatment

Today, I bring to you the Julep your lip addiction tinted lip oil treatment in the shade Covet. I received this in the May 2016 Julep box. I was NOT sent this. I paid for it in a sense. I used my points to get the box basically free. Which is basically the only reason why I've stayed with them. Anyway...back to the product.

Covet is a sheer pretty pinky-red shade. It has a slight fruity candy smell but not over powering to say the least. After applied the smell does go away. Just in case some of you think its going to taste like anything. It tastes just like oil.

The applicator is kind of funny to describe but you can see from the photo it's like a two sided doe foot applicator.

BEFORE

AFTER

As you can see my lips are pretty pigmented on their own. The first time I put this on I seriously thought it wasn't going to show up but it did. I feel like it kind of actually stains my lips even though they don't make this claim.

I think the real question everyone has is "if it's an oil will it rub off" and the answer is yes and no. After applying the product I have to let it kind of dry down which is only about 10 - 15 mins. I've noticed that if I let it dry before doing anything the oil will rub off making my lips less shiny through out the day but the pigment doesn't rub off with the oil.

I noticed that while I was drinking tea I could clearly see oil marks left by my lips on the mug. But there was no actual color transfer. I was drinking out of a white mug so from what I could tell maybe in the very slightest transfer but not much to the point that there was obvious color left behind.

I also noticed that after I used the lip oil my lips felt dryer than they were before I used it. It made my lips soft but the dry, cracked parts felt even dryer like how they would right before my lips start cracking and peeling in the winter. It's a very hard thing to describe.

Overall, it isn't bad but it isn't amazing to the point where I feel you have to run out and buy it.

Little Brown Box Swap

I said a few posts ago I think or I think I made a post on LUUUX that myself and a few other Little Black Bag ladies would be doing a Little Brown Box swap to take the place of LBB. This was during their "new changes" which no one liked. Anyways the maximum amount of money spent was supposed to be $50. With at least 1 big item like a bag or a pair of shoes and two smaller items like jewelry, cosmetics or something along those lines.

This is my box that I received from a wonderful lady from West Virginia.

 

 The main item I received was this cute Steve Madden crossbody. I adore it!  I told the lady I was open to any brand and color but I love crossbody bags, hobos, and satchels. I think she had an amazing pick being that she has never met me and barely knows anything about me.

 

 

The second item I completely fell in love with are these Robert Rose earrings. They look so feminine and are just so gorgeous.

 

 

The third item which I am also loving are these cute dainty bow earrings.

 

 

I almost forgot to mention this amazing blue scarf that she got me and I can not wait to wear it. I've really been into scarves lately so I'm super excited about this particular item.

 

 

She also found this amazing set by Figaro Couture. The set includes a watch, a pair of earrings, and a matching necklace.

 

 

 The last item I got was this L'Oreal Paris nail polish set. The colors included are numbers 104 Penthouse Pink which is a pale pink. Number 102 Boozy Brunch which is like a coral orange color. Check Me Out number 103 which is like a bright Barbie pink with blue shimmers. The last color is number 112 The Perfect Trench which is like a pale mustard yellow.

I love everything she got me and I hope the lady that I had likes her items. I will see guys later in another post!

February Julep Maven Box

Okay so I got my box in yesterday but haven't had a chance to open it so I finally did it today. I guess this months box was supposed to be getting us ready for the summer so without further ado here is the reveal.

Packaging is super adorable like always! It almost looked Easter...eee...

The first item that wasn't wrapped up with the polishes was this lip balm in strawberry-mint??? I have the question marks because I don't smell the mint at all. The lip balm is very moisturizing as I tried it on my lips as soon as I took a photo of it. It does smell very artificial and fake so that was a fail for me. I hate anything that smells or tastes artificial.

As you can see I got Shenae which is a pearly/opalescent pale baby blue, Teri which is a pinky coral, and Simone which is a purple tone pink that has a pearly/opalescent finish. I haven't tried them or swatched them yet but hopefully this month I'll actually get around to doing my nails. Thanks for staying tuned and I'll blog you guys later!
