Unboxing: Julep Maven April 2015


Photos taken with my iPhone 6

Another month, another Julep Maven box. Today I am doing a quick unboxing of my April Julep Maven box. 


This is what you see what you open the box. This is the Paradise collection, which is very fitting considering a lot of college kids are on spring break this time of year. The nail polishes I received are in the colors Jenna, which is a very bright orange color, and Connie, which is a  deep blueish purple. I think I will get a lot of use out of these colors this spring and summer! The final makeup product I received is the 'lock down your brows' iconic clear brow gel. I was just thinking that I need to start incorporating a brow routine in my daily makeup, so this came at the perfect time. I think this is one of my favorite boxes I have received so far!

Garnier Moisture Renew Refreshing Gel Cream: A Review

Picture taken with iPhone 6

The past few months have brutally cold in upstate New York and my skin had decided to become very dry from the dry air. I picked this up a few weeks ago from CVS because I wanted something to help with my dry skin. This moisturizer from Garnier is supposed to "lock in moisture for 24 hours and smooth the skin". It is dermatologist tested, oil free, won't clog pored, gentle to skin, allergy tested and non-greasy.  This product contains antioxidant fruit fruit water which is supposed to renew the skins natural functions. 

So do I like this moisturizer? Yes! It has definitely helped renew my skin and make it less dry and cracked. It has a slight scent but goes away after you apply to the face. It also has a nice cooling sensation. 
Would I repurchase? Yes!
Do I recommend? Yes!
