April Splendies Reviews

Coming home today, the flag on the mailbox has been lifted, indicating that " the mail is here!"  Last month, Splendies sent out an email saying that they were going to provide tracking for their packages this month, however they must still be working out the kinks.  The package came right on time, nonetheless.  

Shamelessly, I am admitting to the outside world how excited I was to see what this green tissue paper will reveal. 

A nice twist of colors...so far, very intrigued to untwist these panties.

Risqué - These are a nice change to the g-strings.

Vision Intimates - Made from 95% cotton and 5% spandex these look very comfortable.

No brand given.  Seem very cheeky.

Unpacking Impressions: For 12 dollars, this is a deal.  This is a great monthly surprise.

April Julep Maven Review

Would you like a change?  Every couple of weeks or so, nail polish needs to be removed and changed.  For me, this is a bi-weekly, or worse monthly, event that I do grudgidly.  Not really sure why I avoid taking off my chipped nail polish, because I am a little embarrassed by it.  Once the nails are bare, I get to pick out the fun art work I want to walk around with for another two weeks.  Now that I have a collection of about forty colors, it is fun to mix and match what I want to put on my nails  and toes.

Around the 20th of the each month, Julep sends out the next month boxes.  The monthly box, of $19.99 including shipping, choices are shown.  When you sign up for your first box, for free just pay for shipping, a style survey is taken.  Each month, boxes are set up by the five style choices.  You can keep your default style or chose another.  I prefer to look at all of the boxes and choose the style that I perfer based on color and/or items that I need in nail care or makeup.  This box comes quickly, usually a week after updating your monthly pick.

April's theme, the Vivid Collection, had a variety of colorful polishes and two blushes to choose from.  The add-ons included brushes.  The Boho Glam style option of two polishes and a blush interested me.  

 GLOW Pore-Minimizing Blush in Peach Bellini- This blush promises "to diffuse the appearance of ones pores and imperfections while diamond power gives checks a luminous glow." This color does well with my pale completion, allowing me to not look overly caked in make up but rather natural with a little color.  

Phoebe and Sunny Nail Polish- The way these two colors contrast each other made me want them for my collection.  Sunny, the metallic yellow, has a nice and bright sheen.  Phoebe, the metallic turquoise, has a beautiful water effect. 

Unpacking Impressions:  The ability to pick out my monthly box sells me each month.  This months box has allowed me to be creative with my manicure.  I have been painting four nails one color and my ring finger an accent color.  That was my plant this month, but as I was painting my nails, I started to paint them all with Sunny.  By the second coat, I knew there needed to be something else.  My artistic husband suggested a Phoebe color streak, which turned into a blotting.  It is springy and reminds me of and Easter egg.  The first Julep Maven box is free with the code FREEBOX.
