Anyways, after a day full of crazy pre-k students, who were way too excited for Christmas Break, and an exhausted Pre-K teacher, I was more than thrilled to get this in the mail:
[one big box, one crazy orange cat]
[The inside of the box]
These were the three colors that were outside the box, so I assume that they're the Mystery Bonus gift I added on when I ordered the box, but don't quote me on that.
From L to R: Lois, Faye, and Jane
Lois is Boho Glam. It's a creamy pearly shimmering pink. I want to say I have it already, but I'm not sure. Either way it's a pretty color. It's a creamy pink with a kick. Retail Value: $14.00
Faye is Boho Glam. It reminds me of the color of a cafe latte that I would order from Starbucks, and man do I love coffee. It's not a color that I would've bought for myself, but it's not a bad color. It has a nice shimmer that I also like, but you can't really see it in the picture I took. It's a nice add-on. Retail Value: $14.00
Jane is a bombshell color. It's a bronze glitter color. I love glitter polishes and I think that the more glitter polishes I own, the better it is. Retail Value: $14.00
So, the "Mystery Add-on" was $10.00, and I got nailpolish worth $42.00 so that's not too shabby.
That brings us to the inside of the box.
Blank Canvas Face Primer. I don't wear face makeup. According to one of my co-workers, I have naturally rosy cheeks, so I don't need blush. I also don't like the feeling of foundation on my face, so really I don't have a use for any sort of face primer. This will probably be gifted to somebody. Retail Value: $28.00
Rock Star Hand Creme. I'm a teacher, and my school is an outside school, so my hands and other parts of my body are exposed to all sorts of strange weather. Hand Creme is a good thing. I put some on my hands, just try it out, and it has a really nice scent, that isn't that bothersome. It also really made my hands smooth. So this will be a nice thing to throw in my bag and keep around. Retail Value: $20.00
Kajal Eye Glider and Sharpener. This is a repeat product for me. I got some in another mystery box. I do like their eyeliner, and I am an eyeliner addict. I just wish this was in a different color, I already have the brown/black stick, and it's the only color they make, I'd love to see other color combinations. This will be added to my eyeliner collection because you never know when you might need some extra eyeliner. The color is nice. I don't really do the smudge or blending thing, I've used the colors separately, and the color does stay and it doesn't smear, as long as I use primer with it. The pencil also has a really nice tip and it glides on smooth. Retail Value: $22.00
Lip Gloss in Timeless. I really like Julep's lip gloss, and I'm thrilled to add a third color to my collection. I tried it on, and it gives my lips a nice shimmer and a nude color that isn't overwhelming. The gloss itself, isn't too sticky, it smells like a toasted marshmallow too, which is always a bonus. Retail Value: $22.00
from L to R: America, Joanna, and Nellie.
America is red, white, and blue glitter. The base polish is red. I like glittery polish. This is a perfect color for Memorial Day or the Fourth of July, or just when you like to support your country. Retail Value: $14.00
Joanna is Bombshell. It's sort of a lavender and silver color. You can't really see it in the picture, but it has some nice shimmery undertones. I like it. To me it's sort of a wintery color, and I always tend to like the wintery colors. Retail Value: $14.00
Nellie is It Girl. I've never been much of a pink girl, but this a pink I would wear because it's darker and not as girly as some other pinks. I really like it. It's sort of a cross between fuchsia and magenta, which is more my sort of pink than a girly pink. Retail Value: $14.00
from l to r: Alaina, Brenda, and Aviva.
Alaina is a classic with a twist color, which means I have it somewhere, and this is a double. I think I've worn it before. My camera doesn't show the color to well. It's more like a darker gray/purple, more gray than purple, this picture makes it seem more lavender than it really is. But it's a really nice color. Retail Value: $14.00
Brenda is one of the new colors they promised with the mystery box. I love it. It's much more glittery than the picture shows. It literally looks like when you open a door on Christmas morning, and the ground is covered in snow, and the sun is barely up, and the snow glitters and shimmer and sparkles. This color is why I bought the mystery box. I can't wait to wear it, it's the perfect winter color. Retail Value: $14.00
Aviva is the other color they promised with the box. It's a dark purple glitter with silver glitter. I like glitter color. I like purple. I just like Brenda a lot more than Aviva.
Retail Value: $14.00
Green Tea Blotting Papers. I love blotting papers. My skin seems to be naturally oily, maybe because the temperatures in my class are bipolar, and I always feel like my face is sweaty or oily, so I'm excited about getting these. I'm estimating the retail value to be around $5.00.
Tons of Lux Skin Serum and Hand Serum samples. These were free, so I'm not going to calculate a value for them. But I got a lot of them. I got two samples of each, which is pretty nifty.
This brings the totaql value of my box up to: $181 dollars, and I only paid about thirty for it. So I think I did well. No iPad Mini, but I'm very satisfied with the products that I got. I didn't have many doubles, and it's mostly stuff I would use.
I love Julep.
The Naughty and Nice Mystery Box was a hit.
