What do you do when you've had a crappy day?

I painted my nails.  I'm in a much more centered place and I have to say they're pretty cute.
I used Zoya's  Lola and the skull and cross bones are from Vinyl It Up. 
I'm pretty tomboyish but this is one of the more girlie things I partake in.  Excuse the dry hands and bad cuticles, the pool I do my physical therapy in used a lot of chlorine. I feel like I need to bath in lotion afterwards. Please pass the cheese for my whine fest. haha

July 2015 Rainbow Honey Bag

OK so this bag is a so-so with me.  Only because I'm not a fan of gold.  But the body spray and lip scrub, along with the green polish make up for it. 
The colors left to right are... summer tan,  calama and costa dorada.   Costa dorada is a top coat, or base coat if doing say a jelly sandwich.  There's a nice shimmer to the calama.  And of course summer tan is a chunky glitter.

The body splay is in Pomelo, a fresh citrus smelling scent.  The lip scrub is in sweet mandarin.  I've gotten lip scrubs from them before and really dig them. My lips feel so soft after. And of course I got an organic shea butter treatment.  They said it can be used anywhere on the skin or lips.
 
I've opted to receive the mini version of the bag, which the polish is comparable to the size of Julep's bottles.  There is also a reg. sized version of the products you can purchase instead.

 

Julep's Holographic Day & Night Mystery Boxes

Now honestly I gave up on Julep's mystery boxes.  Mostly I was getting a ton of dupes and product I don't use. But when they came out with these 2 holo mystery boxes I took a leap of faith.  I really liked the shades of the 2 holos exclusive to the boxes.  Plus I figured unless Julep wanted a riot on their hands, they'd have taken in consideration the criticism the mavens were giving them about the mystery boxes.  I assume this is what happened since I was pleasantly surprised by both boxes and gave me a renewed faith in julep's mystery product again.

I don't remember which box was which since I opted for both, but I'm guessing the mystery day box is the blue holo.   The holographic color in this box is called " Hallie".   Nice over all shade of blue that could be used year around I think.   The whole theme of this box was around blue.  You got a gel eyeliner in the shade navy smoke.  A luxe lip in the shade sheer pink.  A julep bag.  And 4 polishes, including the holo.  I'm going to list the colors as they appear in the photo, left to right.  Shelby, Cassidy, Nayely and Hallie.  I like the complimenting peach and light pink tones for the dark blues.

The 2nd box was the night mystery box.  The holo in this box is called "Christa".  A real nice light/medium purple. The decided to use red to compliment the purples. This box came with a cardinal red plush pout and a length matters mascara.  The colors left to right are as follows... Christa, Nic, Joanne and Karissa.  This box totally has a pin up feel to it with the reds and mascara.
 
If Julep can keep this up I might be a frequent flyer of the mystery boxes again.
