Urban Decay Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Half Baked, and Haight swatches

A few posts back I mentioned that Urban Decay had their eyeshadows in the old packing for sale at various locations. Well, I couldn't resist so I bought a few.

I picked up Half Baked, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, and Haight.

Half Baked is in both the Naked palettes.

It's a gorgeous bronze color that glides on like butter.

Midnight Cowboy Rides Again is a glittery champagne color. This shadow tends to have a lot of fall out so be prepared. It's gorgeous though. It's also featured in several palettes.

Swatched without primer.

Haight is a frosty teal blue shade.

Sephora and the Urban Decay website still have some shades left for $6 so if you're interested go check them out!

If you order online, don't forget to use Ebates! :)

Do you have these shades? What are some of your favorite UD shadows?

I'm a Julep Maven

After seeing ads for Julep Maven all around YouTube and Facebook, I finally cracked and gave in. I found a code that lets you start the program for only $5! How could I pass that up? If I hate it, I can always cancel. 

If you haven't heard of Julep Maven yet, It's a program similar to Birchbox, but with nail polish. 

You get on the website www.julep.com and take a quiz and they set you up with nail polishes that go along with your personality type.

I'll be honest, I took the quiz three times until I got colors I actually liked. LOL.

When you first open your box.

This is the cute little bag complete with a pink bow.

The first item I received was this Facial for hands-hand scrub-3oz. I think they said it retails around $30-something  ( I don't have my card readily available) 

            I tried this out last night and I really love it. It exfoliates and moisturizes. It's pretty darn nice.

You will also get a couple samples thrown in your bag.

Samples! Yay! 

They take the time to wrap your polish all nice and pretty.

The colors I got were: Alfre-A frosty purple.

and Cameron- A pretty candy pink. 

(These descriptions are my own and not the official descriptions...I don't have my card near me..) 

I tried the polishes out as well, and they are thick and creamy. I only used one coat with the pink and two with the purple. They are really nice polishes.

The program is basically $20 a month and you have by the 25th of each month to decide if you want to skip a month or change your polish colors to a different selection. 

The only issue I have with this program is the polishes are TINY! They retail for $14 each, so if you do the program you are saving money, but they are really small bottles. 

Are you a Julep Maven? What do you think about this program? 

Do you want to try it out? The code "FB" will get you the starter kit for $5.

Let me know your thoughts.
