In the Box: September 2015 Julep Maven

This month, all Mavens received Julep (polish name) in their September Julep box (clicking will take you through my referral link).  I still went with my normal Modern Beauty, which got me Length Matters Mascara (which I already had - oops) and Light on Your Lips in Last Call (my choice).

Sandal Toes

Inspiration: August 2015 Rainbow Honey Mini Mystery Bag

Products: Rainbow Honey Jelly Red Sandals and Mr. Saturn

Thoughts: This red was just begging to be put on my toes.  I was not sure what to do with Mr. Saturn, so I decided to try it as the base for a french tip on my big toes.  What else came in my Mystery Bag? Fruit Juice Perfume Oil Rollerball, Bath Oil, and Bath Tea.

Verdigris

Inspiration: July 2015 Rainbow Honey Mini Mystery Bag

Products: Rainbow Honey Calama, Costa Dorada, and Summer Tan

Thoughts: I love the colors that were in the July Rainbow Honey Mini Mystery Bag, but it took me almost two months to actually wear them.  This green is amazing and looks great next to the more gold colors.  What else came in my Mystery Bag? Pomelo Body Splash, Sweet Mandarin Lip Scrub, and Shea Butter Skin Treatment.

In the Box: August 2015 Ipsy

It's only been a few months since I received nail polish in my Ipsy bag (clicking will take you through my referral link), so I was surprised to get some again. Trust Fund Beauty Elegantly Wasted is a fun lavender, came in a nice box, and was generously sized for not being full-sizes.

What other goodies did I get? Marc Anthony Nourishing Argon Oil of Morocco Treatment, Skone Cosmetics Luxe Doubler Eye/Lip Pencil in Wine, Marsk Pro Line Eye Shadow Brush, and noyah Natural Lipstick in Desert Rose.

Infinite Ombre

Inspiration: Color

Products:Formula X Infinite Ombre Kit

Thoughts: This kit is amazing!  I am still learning how to really use the polishes for more intricate designs, but a basic ombre is incredibly easy and fun, and I have received so many compliments on these nails.  The colors are gorgeous.

Sailing

Inspiration: Color

Products:Sinful Colors Sail La Vie, Color Club French Tip, NailThins Compass

Thoughts: Simple summer mani inspired by the open water.  Surprised at how nice the Sinful Colors was!

Pink Zebra

Inspiration: July 2015 Julep Maven Box (clicking will take you through my referral link)

Products:Julep Alexa and Brittany

Thoughts: My best attempt yet at stamping!  Brittany is not my favorite color, but it makes the perfect base to stamp the more purple-y Alexa.
