This month collection was The Dramatic Collection. The usual assortment of polishes plus some newly introduced eye sheens and a gel liner. I really liked the colours of the eye sheens but I haven't had good luck with creamy shadows in the past. No matter what primer I use they end up creasing almost instantly. For this reason I went with the It Girl box.
My box features three polishes plus the bonus polish free to all mavens who got a box this month. I also added on the textured polish Cameron because I love a good shimmery texture.
- Roc Solid (a vintage military creme)
- Glam Roc (midnight purple and gold stardust matte glitter)
- Diamond Therapy (full-coverage multidimensional copper glitter)
- Love (gold, pearl and fuchsia microglitter)
- Cameron (silver lilac stardust matte glitter)
Love ended up being more gold in person than I expected. In the original pictures it looked more pearly. While I love it in the bottle I think the gold might clash with my skin tone. I'll have to swatch it and make a final decision. Cameron, my add on, is my favorite of the whole box. It's so shimmery with the occasional pop of glitter. I've actually already tried this one and really loved the formula too. (Look for the review in the next post).
Overall I'm pretty happy with this box. I've got 4/5 polishes that I like and I'm sure I'll be able to find a good home for the army green one. The bonus polish is what really made this worth it for me though. If you'd like to become a Julep maven you can sign up here. Use the code 'FREEBOX' to get your intro box for free. I'm off to take swatch pictures of Cameron to show you in the next post. Until then,
Happy polishing!
