July 2012 Birchbox

is finally here! Totally wasn't their fault, but the postal service. Still haven't received myglam for this month (should be here tomorrow or early next week).
This month was pretty cool though. :) Was totally happy with it.
More to come  later tonight when my soon goes to bed.
Here is a picture of me re-purposing it already.

Christmas tree shop haul

Yeupp! they had everything I've needed our been needing to buy including hard to find items for much cheaper than anywhere. I'm beyond happy!

Misc. Beauty Ramblings

I didn't take a picture of my FOTD yesterday as my memory card is getting low.

And I have a bad headache right now and am extremely tired or else I'd probably do a random look right now...

Revlon Cream Eyeshadow Quad - This thing is GORGEOUS! (Yeah, fingerprints...)

During that ULTA visit I also got the NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk (FINALLY!) and everyone should have at least Milk because it really is worth it as good as its hyped up to be.

Revlon Color Stay Whipped Foundation - I still currently have mixed feelings on this

NYX Matte Bronzer in Medium (03)

I also bought a ton of eyeshadows from a blog sale. Almost all are from Madd Style Cosmetics and are mineral shadows (also, all of them are vegan which is cool). I will post some pictures of those once my memory card is cleared because there are a lot.

Also included in that was a Sleek blush which I was SO EXCITED to try. Although the color does NOT go well with me (Pomegranate) because I have very red skin that shows through pretty much every foundation I've tried (no high end ones) and the color just makes it a lot worse. But now I want to try more because it's a super nice blush. I might be able to make it work because I love the color but I don't know.

And a new ...that word....to my blog..

Nails Of The Moment... (NOTM)

I did these yesterday from a video tutorial by ...... oh let me go find her youtube name

They're a neon leopard print - although...they didn't come out that good because I don't have long nails. And no dotting tool so they are kind of sloppy. They are super cute though. They also bubbled REALLY bad.

I just used nail polish I had lying around. Nothing special. 

The rest of my July Julep Box

Mentioned Previously -

Georgia

Poppy Lip Vernis

 And I also received:

Mischa - which was missing some and upon opening the cap wasn't all the way tight and some had obviously spilled and then had been cleaned up. But Julep was kind enough to send me out another

America - a free polish for the month of July (I couldn't get a good enough picture to show all the little glitter pieces)

Test

Ugh, I just want them to upload without that pixel grid thing or w.e. it is!! I think it's because the original size of the pictures is so big and the app scales them down so small when it uploads the pictures to the blog.

Look - little golden sparkles - the gloss is too shiny to see them when it's on your lips though

Georgia's partner in crime....

Poppy

A OMG coral lip gloss (vernis)
I love this stuff. I've been looking for a  coral/orange gloss. its more orange than pink.

The theme of July was the trend of matching the lips to the nails and all of the boxes had a lip vernis that matched one of the nail colors. It smells good and is creamy. It's sheer enough that it's not "BAM! orange lips" but you can still notice the color (not anything like the swatches on Julep's website). It looks scary until you put it on. I like sticky glosses. It's sticky enough but not overly sticky. It's actually just like the consistency of the ELF $1 lip glosses that come in the tube like the Stila Lip Glazes. It's not sticky like the lip glazes (which I actually really like...).

Ahhh - it's sooooo pretty!!! And matches very well to the nails!

Look at the little golden sparkles - they are very hard to see though and even tougher to notice when it's on the lips since it's a very shiny
