Julep Maven June Box

The swatches for the June Maven boxes are out! Here are the boxes this month: http://blog.julep.com/june-maven-swatches

I have chosen to skip the month because I loathe pink and I feel like I already have the same shades of the other polishes but in different brands. I also have a ton of untried polish from the last few months of maven boxes that I really feel I should get through and wear before thinking about more maven boxes.
I also have to admit that being an adult sucks and I feel like I need to be focusing more on necessity expenses when I already have a huge collection of polish sitting unused. Growing up is great until you realize that money is the root of all evil!!

    I've been skipping my maven boxes too. I should just cancel it all together, but I like seeing what the new shades are.

    I haven't been a fan of the last few months but had them coming free from referrals so they don't give the option to skip. This is the first month since joining that I don't have the referral bonus which is good because I'm not a fan! I know the Facebook page is buzzing with people in love with the colours, but I just feel like they have been overdone by other brands. I own every colour in other brands already (except for the pink shades because I don't care for pink). I like seeing the new shades, and the referrals bonus is keeping me a member for now. I may give them the rest of the summer to see what they come out with and if I'm still not in love cancel.

*Review* The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Exfoliator

Image
I bought this stuff from The Body Shop when they had an emailed printable coupon for $10 off any purchase of $10 or more in August. It's a bit on the pricey side $13 for a 100ml tube but I got it for $3 and tax so a really good deal at the time. I can honestly say that I love this stuff and plan on buying more when I run out because it works really well for my skin. It is a little on the pricey side compared to what I usually buy but I think its worth it since the directions say to use it max. twice a week. I got it in August and have used it twice a week since and still have 3/4 of the bottle left! I don't use it on my whole face though just the areas that need it that way I get more use out of it. I also use an inexpensive tea tree oil face wash from St. Ives (around $3.77 a bottle). Pros dries out pimples really well even on my very oily skin keeps my skin smooth and soft for hours after washing my face is a gentle scrub not harsh like some scrubs can be on the skin lasts fo...

Derma E Collagen Serum Review

I received this product free to test from Social Nature. If you are someone like me that has made the switch to mostly natural products then you definitely need to head over to Social Nature and sign up! It's the only site that I know about that gives you the opportunity to try natural products and post reviews.  Now, back to the product in question. This serum so far has been great on my skin. It smells pleasant and goes on smooth with no greasy after feel. It soaks into my skin well and doesn't pill when I apply moisturizer over top. It comes in a large enough format that I feel like it should last me at least six months of regular day and night use. I use one to two pumps in my hand and then rub together and apply to my face and neck. A little product goes a long way. In terms of noticing a difference in my skin I haven't really noticed much of a difference but I don't feel like I've used it consistently enough yet to accurately tell if it's working better ...
