And it's September again, aka the school year has re-started itself. This year, I'm just hoping for a peaceful year. I've finally got pretty close to my dream position, I'm a special education teacher, this year, which is WHY I wanted to become a teacher, and I'm just hoping I can get through my third year, as a teacher, without any sort of medical emergency like sleep apnea forcing me to get a tonsillectomy [NOT FUN AS AN ADULT] or Uterine cancer.
I've already got my usual back to school head cold, in the third week of school, so I would say this year is officially underway.
My Julep box was sitting in my mailbox today.
In case I have any new readers, or people randomly find this blog in a google search or whatever, Julep is a subscription box service that consists primarily of nailpolish and makeup and skin products.
I'm grandfathered into their old subscription service and feel no desire to change.
But for newcomers, they have My Maven and Maven Lux, $19.99/$34.99, which are fully customizable boxes, where you can pick and choose the products of your choice.
I have to say, I'm not as interested in subscription boxes, as I used to be. I don't get as excited when the 20th of the month rolls around and I get to pick the products for my month, and I don't really feel a desire to add new subscriptions. After being broke for several months after my surgery, money seems to have more of a value to me, and I still have medical bills and credit card bills to pay to make up for that time when I didn't have a paycheck.
However, that didn't stop me from ordering a Jewel Heist Mystery Box today.
This month's theme was "Art Walk."
The beauty product for my usual profile was a lip crayon, and I had no interest in getting a lip crayon, so I went with "It Girl" and added on a few colors from the other profiles and because I had three extras, I got two bonus colors.
Art Walk Colors from l to r: Mahima, Kirby, Fifi, Ryan, and Quinn.
Mahima, IT GIRL, is a matte gold color that sort of reminds me of mustard. That's not a bad or good comment, just a comment.
Kirby, Bombshell, is a salt and pepper glitter color.
Fifi, IT GIRL, is a very very very pale pink, almost white color. It would look good with a french manicure, in my opinion.
Ryan, IT GIRL, is my favorite of the new colors. It's a very dark turquoise color. I like it a lot.
Quinn, classic with a twist, is a cross between purple, dark blue, and smoke. I really like it. It's a nice dark color. I prefer darker and cooler colors to bright colors.
from l to r: Candace, Daria, and Queen Anne.
Candace, I may have, or I may not have, I find a lot of the golden glitter colors sort of look alike after awhile, and if I don't have it, I definitely have a color that's similar to it. This was one of my free extras.
Daria is a slate gray color. I like it because it's not glittery. It's nice to have a darker gray color that I can wear as a base color, or just alone. I find I lack gray colors. This was my other free extra.
Queen Anne, was made in honor of Julep's 3rd birthday methinks, hence the 3 and the candle. I like it. It's a nice rose glitter with some magenta and purple.
And that concludes my September Julep box.
Overall, pretty happy with the colors and extras I got.
Though, I'm more excited about October since Halloween is my favorite time of year.
