October Target Haul

I'm almost done with my old backed up blog posts! (that sounded kind of wrong. Oh well...)

This is a Target Haul from November. I'm not going to go through everything I got, but I did want to show it to you because there are a couple of things in here that are staples in my closet now and a couple of items that will show up in future blog posts.

First notice the leggings that I got from Target. I think at the time I bought three pairs, but I ended up returning one of them because I didn't like the fake jeans look. I did keep the all black one as well as the black one that has fleece on the inside. The fleece one is my favorite! It has kept me so warm this winter, and I literally want to go back to Target and get two more pairs!

I'd also like to point out the little baskets that the leggings are perched in. There is one in pink and one (harder to see) in purple. These have been a crucial part of my dorm organization, and they came from the $1 section! I wish I had bought more, because I really loved them. The little pink containers by the toothbrushes in the front are also being used to organize my things, and they were from the same section.

The last thing is the hunger games costume. This ended up getting returned because it was too big, but Target didn't seem to carry anything smaller. It was really annoying.

As for the rest of it, it's kind of self-explanatory.

October Julep Maven Box

Wow, is this post late, or what? This is my Julep Maven Box for the month of October. I chose the Maven's choice option because I wasn't a fan of the crackles that came in the other boxes. Also, one of the colors in this box, Lisa, was my ultimate favorite for the month, and I really wanted to try it out, so this box looked ever better since it has Lisa in it. But without further ado, here's the box and it's contents: 

 Just opened. It's got the Julep quote as well as the information card, like always. 

 This month's box came with a little bag of candy corn and two pots of glitter, one in orange and one in black.

 Here are the polishes all wrapped up. 

 These are the colors. I got Lisa, Eloise, and Keira. 

 Lisa. It's a taupe-y color. While I haven't tried it on my nails yet, I am really excited to have this color. I don't have anything like it in my collection, so I had to get it!

 Eloise. This is a dark navy blue, which looked much prettier in the pictures than it did on my nails. This was the first color from the box I used, and I was going to do a NOTD, but not only did I get busy and forget, but the manicure itself didn't last long, so I gave up on the idea. I'll show you guys someday what it looks like. Maybe it will look better on my toes...

 Keira. This is a cranberry red, and let me just tell you, it looks absolutely gorgeous on my toes. I usually fall in love with a seasonal toe color, and just keep putting the same color on every time, and I think I found on for this fall. It's really pretty, and I really think this would look pretty paired with Lisa. Maybe it will be in a future blog post... hint hint.

Here they all are together. Overall, it was a successful box. I was really happy with the colors, and I am really glad I didn't end up skipping this month. I get these boxes to buy polishes that I don't already have in my collection, and I think I definitely did that this month.

Julep's Maven's October Box

Yesterday, Julep Maven released the new colors for their October box!

Do you like them? Hate them? What are your thoughts? 

Honestly, I'm torn. I don't know if I want to skip this month, or get a box, and if I get a box, which one I want. 

Please comment and let me know which colors are your favorites!

BREAKING NEWS! Apparently enough people complained about how crackles are so yesterday that Julep Maven came out with an extra box tonight:

This is the extra choice that we are getting, which I think is much better than the original choices we were given. I think I might actually get it! This is why I love Julep Maven. They listen to their customers and try to make things better.

If you aren't a Julep member, then you need to become one! Get your first box for a penny using the code PENNY by using the link here. Enjoy!
