Julep Boost Your Radiance Reparative Rosehip Seed Oil










I love using facial oils especially after using a clay mask. I have been using Julep products for a while and some of them I love and others I hate. When I saw this facial oil, I thought I would give it a try since it was only $28 and I seen more expensive facial oils.

The facial oil is packed with vitamin E, rosehip seed oil, and bergamot oil. The silky oil had a pleasant scent and absorbed quickly. My skin felt smoother, softer and more hydrated. I felt like facial oil was a good value for the quality.

Julep Nail Polish - Julianne










Ah, I am so sad that Julep is closing down their Maven program. I used to be a member for a few years and liked that they offer an affordable option to get two nail polish and a skincare/makeup item for around $25 a month. I liked that you were able to customize and skip a month. If I had known they were going to discontinue the program, I would have definitely stocked up during their sales. Although the store is still open, I feel like the inventory won't last or they won't add new products. Granted I feel $14 normal price is a bit expensive for this nail polish as it has less than a product than it's competitors. I am usually able to get three uses of two coats before the nail polish becomes goopy. And maybe another two uses before the bottle is done while other brands I get at least 10 or more uses. Well enough of my diatribe and on to my review!

The smokey grey creme nail polish goes on smoothly. However, it goes on a bit thick than other colors. One coat does give semi-full coverage with a few opaque spots but, two coats provide full coverage. However, any more than two coats cause the nail polish to become very thick and takes forever to dry. I consider this a neutral (compared to my bright neons and colorful glitter nail polishes) that perfect to wear for work.

Julep Nail Polish - Tanya









The carbon matte (reminds me of graphite from pencil lead) nail polish provided a full coverage after two coats. The carbon matte shimmer was a pretty effect. I found that the polish lasted 2 - 3 days before chipping. However, the polish was a bit thicker than other colors.

Julep Nail Polish - Rae












Well, I am late for this review, this nail polish is apparently from 2014! The Radiant Orchid Creme finished nail polish was the Pantone® 2014 Color of the Year. It was a lush color and provided full coverage with one swipe, but was gorgeous with two.

Julep Lip Shade Sheer Lip Butter - Currant















The sheer lip balm is enriched with Shea butter, broccoli seed oil, Rosehip seed oil and black currant seed oil. It goes on smoothly and left feeling luxuriously soft. However, I am a bit disappointed that the lip butter doesn't impart any color which makes this just a very expensive lip balm.
