Julep: December Secret Store

Nothing makes me more happier than seeing a gigantic black box in the office of my apartment complex with the words JULEP on it.

This contains all the things I bought from the secret store back on December 1st, and considering it's rather cold, by Texas standards, and even for me, or maybe it's the fact that my kitten peed on my North Face fleece and I was forced to wear a hoodie, but all the ice-themed colors seemed appropriate to get in the mail today.

I ordered three sets: Edgy Neutrals, Ice Queen, and Trophies.

Unfortunately I don't really remember what belongs with what, so I do apologize, but I do have colors :)

Logically I suppose I should've kept things rubber-banded together, but that still wouldn't help me know what belongs with what.

The one non-nailpolish item I bought was mascara. I have an obsession with mascara. Therefore, I am eager to try Julep mascara. I like the fact that their tube is clear, so I can actually see how much mascara I have left.

From l to r: Alaina, Gabrielle, and Stevie

Alaina is a repeat for me, I've gotten it before. It's a gray lavender like-color. It's nothing special. But it's not a disappointment either.

Gabrielle is a medium toned purple. I like it. I like purple colors.

Stevie is awesome. It's a shimmery gray-blue color, it reminds me of black ice [and the time I fell on black ice, in Philly, waiting outside a My Chemical Romance/The Used concert]. Stevie will get a lot of use.

another Stevie and a Joanna

I've already fan-girled over Stevie, but Joanna is pretty. It's the color of shimmery icicles. Like a gray white shimmer. This will also get lots of wear.

Icey/Wintery colors are the bane of my nailpolish existence.

from l to r: Sylvia and Missy [and one of my three cats, Ajani, greatly obsessing over my nailpolish collection] 

Sylvia is a repeat for me [I suppose that's what happens, when you go to a website, and just fangirl over pretty winter nailpolish collections without actually reading what colors they contain], but I do like it. It's almost like a dark neon purple, sort of. 

Missy is as silver, as moonlight cascading off of a sidewalk in the middle of a winter night, I love it. 

from l to r: Zelda and Oscar

Zelda is silver polish with silver glitter. Again, I like silver polish, so I can't really complain about having another shade of silver to add to my nailpolish collection.

Oscar is another repeat. Gold glitter. I'm pretty sure these came from the new neutrals.

from l to r: Clio and Missy

Clio is blue/gray/silver glitter, when put together, somehow it has a sort of purple/pink tone, I really do like it. Very winter-like. Very glittery. Two thumbs up.

And I've already talked about Missy.

So overall, I wound up with quite a few repeats, but the new colors that I got, I really do like, and I feel like their the perfect colors for the upcoming wintery season. As for the doubles, I can always gift them. 

Mmm winter... My favorite ever season.
