Julep May/June 2018

It's been so long I don't even know if this is supposed to be the box for May or June but here I am. If you didn't know Julep is a subscription service, mainly for nail products. As of late, they have been expanding and pushing out things like lip products, face products, skin care and other related products. A box is normally $19.99 but I got this box with points that I've racked up and have been saving for something that I really wanted to try.

I picked up the Diamond Powder Bronzer in the shade medium tan.

Matte Lip Mousse in the shade Pillow Talk.

The matte lip mousse is a pretty mauve pink shade. Very wearable. The bronzer is extremely metallic. Maybe it might just be a spray overlay that makes it look super metallic. To me it seems more like a metallic eye shadow than a bronzer but I guess I'll continue to try it and see how I feel about it.

I hope you guys check out Julep to see if you guys like their services. Thank you for checking my post. See you next time.

Monthly Favorites

All my favorites this month are great. However, in conjunction with one another they are even better. One of my favorites for a few months now (but I haven't been blogging) is the YSL Touche Eclat Blur Primer. It is great for smoothing over any dry patches you may have on your skin.

The second item I have as a favorite is the Too Faced Peach Blur Translucent Smoothing Finishing Powder. I know a few bigger youtubers and bloggers don't really like this but I love it. It works great to smooth over and blur any imperfections that I have.

In my experience you can not use a fluffy brush with this powder. You have to use a denser brush that's going to be able to pick up the powder without fluffing it up and away. Personally, I like to use this Tarte brush from the 2017 holiday collection. However, I think that any dense brush you own will work.

Don't always take a fellow blogger or youtuber,s likes and dislikes so seriously. Especially because every ones skin is different. What may work on one may not work on another. If you are curious about a certain product definitely try it out for yourself. If you don't like it there is always the option of returning it. These two products together are a match made in heaven for my skin. I hope you liked the post and maybe even try out the products in the future.
