I got this product while on sale and I have to say I'm really impressed!
It's a dry oil for body and hair, with a nice, light scent. The spray bottle has a lot of coverage and the oil itself absorbs quickly.
I've noticed softer skin and hair after using it. I don't spray my hair as often, but when I do, a small amount works wonders. It doesn't leave an oily residue, which I understand is a common fear of using dry oil products. Think of it as a spray-able body and hair lotion!

Julep Nail Polish, in one word, is: Fun!
Though there is better quality nail polish on the market, the appeal of Julep is the dynamic range of colors and polish types, from dark purple creme to glittery gold to matte neon orange, you are sure to find a range of styles for every day of the week.
Some polishes do arrive thicker than others, making application difficult, and some don't do well with more than 1 coat. However, I haven't been disappointed with any of the dozens I've tried out, and appreciate the variety I have. I highly recommend the monthly box, as you end up getting many polish options and a decent price (with free shipping), as well as maven benefits such as the secret store and a discount.

I love how this eye liner applies, but not how long the pen itself lasts.
When I first bought it the tip was great, application was smooth and the color is VERY long lasting. However, as time goes by, the end of the felt tip starts to thicken and lines get messier. It's also very necessary to store the liner upside-down in order for the remaining liquid to properly fill the felt tip. Trimming the felt flyaways help prolong the life of this pen.
So while I still love the effectiveness and quality of the liner, I also dislike how soon application loses its precision. Cat eye styles are nearly impossible after a short time, so for that I definitely recommend a pot/brush liner combo.

I use this brand of wax most often.
Pros:
- Very effective, though you may need to grow hair out for a bit before applying
- Nice scent
- Straightforward heating instructions
- Good amount, lasts for many applications
Cons:
- Messy, wax strings get stuck to clothing, sink, skin, etc (Tip: Use oil to remove)
- Wooden Applicator is impossible to clear of wax completely, build up means eventually application is extremely messy
- Effectiveness depends a lot on how you apply it (Instructions google is your friend!)

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick - Black Cherry
I'm in love with this color! Black Cherry seemed a bit intimidating at first, but it's universally flattering and also allows different levels of color depending on the amount of coats you do. One light coat is more of a sheer burgundy-red, very flattering and nice for a general look. Two or more means a more dramatic, dark look, also very flattering. Lipliner is helpful, but not necessary, and like other very pigmented and striking lipstick I recommend being careful during application to avoid smudging or feathering.
I have very fair skin and noticed it didn't make me look pasty or ghastly pale, instead it added warmth. I definitely recommend toning down eye/cheek makeup however, and letting this lipstick work its magic on its own!
