Totally Trying It April Edition

I'm linking up with Jen over at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom for 'I'm Totally Trying It' April!



{Sorry for the tiny picture!}

Neutrogena Build A Tan Sunless Tanner: I'm going to see if this gives the "instant tan" in 3 or so days. I need a "tan" bad! These white girl legs are a no go!

BareMinerals Try, Believe, Love Kit: This has a 30 day supply of foundation {matte and original}, concealer and mineral veil. Also in this kit is a travel size version of the Full Flawless Face Brush and the Concealer Brush. I've tried BareMinerals before but not continuously to see how it actually works with my skin type.

Starbucks Reusable Cup: I have used this four times and it is AWESOME! My barista's even rinse it for me! {Spoiled much!} This cup cost a dollar and can be used 30 times plus, you also get 10 cents off for using your own cup. This pays for itself in ten visits and is perfect for my Triple Grande Carmel Macchiato!!

Drinking & Tweeting by Brandi: I have heard nothing but good things about this book! I am reading it on my Kindle {totally costs less than buying the physical book!} and I'm just now starting Chapter One but I'm very curious about what she has to say. I've never heard of this girl but I figured I'd give this book a shot! {I'll let you know in my recap how this book was!}

Target Eucalyptus and Jasmine Candle: I am trying to get more relaxed after stupid days at work that drive me crazy. I want to just de-stress without having to spend major moolah! Hoping this will do the trick!

Hopefully I will have the results up for this by mid May!

So What! Wednesday

 

It's So What! Wednesday over at Life After I Dew and I'm linking up!

 

SO WHAT! if...

• I haven't blogged in 30 plus days {give or take}! I really have nothing to blog about right now and don't think people want to hear about Subscription Boxes every post. {Even though I have quite a few of those!}
• I feel like I'm going nowhere right now in life. It's like I'm at a stand still and won't make the time or effort to do something about it. Whatever!
• I need to catch up on my shows and DVR and I don't take {or make the time} to do it. My DVR is probably manually deleting shows each week to make room anyway.
• I signed up paid money for a 7 days online organizing workshop to control the clutter I have, and all I've done is get the trash off the floor. The "class" ends today and I have nothing to show for it!

That's it from here! What are you saying So What! to this week?

Julep Classic with a Twist Introductory Box

 

I received my Julep Maven box in the mail yesterday. Thanks to Jen she sucked me into another box! But, this one only cost me $4.00!!! Yup! If you join the Julep site and order a monthly subscription you can use code JULEPVIP and your first box is .01 plus $3.99 for shipping instead of 19.99!

 

You take a test to see what style you are and those are the boxes you receive. Julep is nice enough to let you change what you want to get in your box each month if you don't like what nail polish is being sent to you, or send a month to a friend, or skip a month.

 

I am Classic with a Twist. Sounds just like me. I also really liked the polishes in that box.

The first look

 

 

(I received a card that said the name of the box etc. but with my horrible camera phone I couldn't get a good picture.)

 

 

The goodies

 

Julep Meryl- a great grey polish that can go with any bold color or neutral. I recently bought a pair of earrings just to go with this nail polish because I knew I was getting it.

 

Classic with a Twist Barbara- I haven't tried this polish yet but it's a shimmery purple/magenta color. This will be a fun everyday polish!

 

Julep Essential Cuticle Oil- I'm not sure about cuticle oil but I'll give it a shot. I haven't seen if this is practical but I've heard it's a rollerball? That's weird to me. I'm used to a brush or a dropper. We'll see how this goes!

 





Julep Vanilla Mint Lip Balm- I think everyone got this as their surprise goody. I will be trying this out and seeing if it compares to my Burt's.

 

 

I will say this is an awesome box! Considering I got it for $4 and one polish is $14! If you pay the full $19.99 you're still getting 3 items for free. I think this is worth it!

 

 

I will be having more subscription box reviews soon! I received my Graze box and another Cravebox. I'm getting my Birchbox and the Julep Cupid Mystery Box soon! (Yes, Jen you got me to buy the Cupid box!)
