Everyday Minerals Haul #3


Everyday Minerals Brushes
So I have been stocking up on my new favorite makeup line. As well as a bunch of brushes so here is what I bought over 3 different orders:

August Birchbox #1



So this month I managed to get quite a few items I can really use. What did I get?

Boho Glam Mystery Box

Today I got my Boho Glam Mystery box from Julep. I personally love Julep and their polishes and I wish I could have gotten in on the Maven program from the beginning. Since I didn't I have settle for getting mystery boxes so that I can stock up on some of Julep's colors without paying full price for all of them. At $14 a bottle this brand can get quite expensive but they keep sucking me in with mystery boxes and the maven boxes. Unfortunately it looks like I am going to have to cancel Julep after the September box because I honestly can't find a way to update the shipping for an APO address even though customer service said they do ship to APO addresses. I plan on calling them next month and see what they can do for me, if they can't ship them to me I plan on sending them to my mother (so long as she doesn't steal them.) I would have to wait forever to get them but at least I would have them.

So what came in this box you ask? Well here it is:

L'Occitane Haul

So I finally got around to finding a local L'Occitane store here in Texas and went crazy, well as much as I could let myself. Just before I went and I sold a bunch of books and that left me with some spending money (this made my husband very, very happy.) So what all did I get?

L'Occitane Lavender Hand Cream

L'Occitane Lavender Hand Cream
I never heard of this brand before and I had reservations about the lavender smell. But I have found that is one of my favorite hand creams I have ever tried. It has a pleasant scent and it is not greasy at all. It absorbs into my skin really quickly and I now keep a tube in my night stand and use it nightly. I honestly can say I have fallen in love with this French company and I plan on going to one of their actual stores really soon. Hopefully I can visit one of the stores in France when we visit Paris next year.

Final opinion: I will be buying this and stocking up whenever I can!

LA Splash in Neon Craze

LA Splash in Neon Craze
Now I am not familiar with this brand at all, the only reason I bought this was it was on clearance and reminded me of a polish color I used to have about 10 years ago. People who know me well know that this is my favorite color, ever. My bedroom used to be decorated in this color green and bright blue, But since getting married I have given up my love for the bright decor. I really do love this color and I may pick up another bottle this weekend when I go to the store if they have it still.
