Things I'm Loving Right Now (July 2012)

You know when you go through phases of literal addiction to certain thing? Ya...me too...

I either can't stop reaching for these products OR they always put a smile on my face while I race around my office like a chicken with her head cut off.

1. My Nail Polish Rack

I have been wanting one of these forever and I finally ordered one off of Amazon and it's perfect!

It makes it so much easier to paint my nails now because I can literally grab and go! And I'm using colors I wouldnt' usually reach for because I couldn't see them! So I'm getting more use out of my collection. Video to come soon

:)

2. My Favorite Coffee Mug

I picked up this little beauty at Marshall's for $3.99 when Ben and I moved into our new apartment last fall and every time I drink my coffee out of it (like I am right this moment), it just makes me smile.

"Well hello to you too!"

3. Josie Maran Argan Oil

Ya ya ya we've all heard about it so when it was available as a sample at Sephora I snatched one up. And now I'm wondering why it took me so long to pick this up! I use it for EVERYTHING from Ben's new tattoo to my daily night time moisturizer to my hair. This little bottle is lasting me forever and the second it's gone I'm running to get the full size.

4. Glint and Gleam (Shoplately.com)

So a serious addiction has occured in the past 2 weeks. I'll try to refrain from blasting this blog with my love of shoplately.com but needless to say, I can't stop buying! And most of the things I have purchased are from the awesome seller Glint and Gleam. My purchases are slowly trickling in and needless to say I am so impressed with the way they package their pieces. And the prices literally amaze me every time I go on.

Video to come soon as well!!!!

5. Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation

I did whatever everyone does when I new product comes out with this. I rolled my eyes, said "What a hype, I don't need it..." and then proceeded to get in my car, drive to Target and go buy it...And I love it. I am planning on doing a review on this soon so again, I'll refrain. But I love it's semi matte finish, the texture is great, and the staying power is impressive. Thanks Revlon!

6. My Blue Contacts

Yes my contacts are some of my newest favorites. (I apparently am not opposed to putting my finger in my eye). I have had these contacts before and I love being able to switch up my eye color. The only downside? It makes me look even MORE like my mom! ;) I will most likely be wearing them in a video soon but for now I will post a VERY old picture from when I had them before... "Well Hello 20 year old Nikki!"

That's what I am loving lately! What are you loving?! I would love to know :)

My First Julep Maven Box!

So I have heard a ton of about Julep as a brand as well as their Maven Box program. It's another monthly subscription service but instead of samples you get 2 full size Julep polishes and another product that Julep thinks would be good for you based on what your profile says.

Find more here:

So I got lucky and found a coupon to get my first box for a penny. Yes! A PENNY!!! (Always check out retailmenot.com before shopping online!) Typically the boxes are $20 a month plus shipping which is still a good deal considering one full size Julep polish is about $14.00 or so.

So after taking my style test, I got matched up with a box I didn't necessarily prefer (the colors just weren't me) and the nice part is, I had the ability to change which box I got. So I chose Classic with a Twist which came with 2 gorgeous polishes and what Julep literally calls "The Best Pedi Creme Ever"... we'll see.

The redish pink color I got is called "Rose" and it's an awesome color to wear year round. The blue one is appropriately called "Robin" and it's the most stunning robins egg blue! Right up my alley! I can't wait to wear this!

I have one other Julep nail polish and I have to say, the formulation on these polishes is AMAZING! You could swing it with just one coat if you needed to and I didn't see any chips after a week.

So needless to say, I'm excited to see next month's box! I'll keep you updated on what I think as time goes on :)

Until next time beauty lovers!

Live, Laugh, Love <3
