Ipsy's monthly glam bag

So I started to receive Ipsy's glam bag about four months ago. So far I have been impressed with it. A couple of months ago they started to put nail polish in some of their bags as well. I'm a nail polish freak so that was an extra awesomeness!!! They give you trial products for the top brands and they also give you some full size versions as well. The monthly subscription only costs $10.00 a month and it is always worth more than $20.00 every month. If you are an adventurous person this is the way to go. They have different versions of the bag that go out and you never know what version your going to get. The only real draw back to this bag is they don't have an option to skip a month. If you can't afford it that month you have to cancel and you might not get your subscription back in time for the next month because they have a high demand for their bags. That is the only problem I see with this bag. I have enjoyed all the products that have come in and you get a cute little makeup bag with every bag!!! Here is a picture of my August bag!

As you can see I got a cute little makeup bag, a nailtini nail polish in mai tai, a lip balm from nota in vanilla flavor, a lash booster mascara from pixibeauty, a multimineral bb cream from pacifica, and a facial scrub from Michael Todd. I can't wait to try everything this week.

Julep's monthly box

So I have been getting a julep nail polish box for the past 5 months and I have liked everything that I have picked. Julep lets you take a quiz to see what type of person you are. Your fashion sense is what tells them what colors and accessories you might like. The box costs $19.99 a month. Here is my box from May!

I got a few polishes plus a free age defying hand brightener, a nail file, plus toe separators. You get to see what is in your box before they charge you for it. If you don't like what's in your box then you can change it to another box, you can give it to a friend, or and can not get a box that month. Three easy solutions. The polishes are easy to use and they go on very nicely in one even coat. They are three free polishes as well. If you have been wanting a high end nail polish that's easy to use then I would suggest buying this box. You can either get a free box or pay for shipping through a friends subscription. For each box you pay for you get maven points and they can be used to buy other products from julep and add them to your regular box. This is a great way to try new polishes and products. 

   

My mani from last night!

Tonight I'm going to review three new nail polishes that I used in a mani last night. I was in a hurry and didn't do a real great job but they still came out good. The three polishes that I used were china glazes cosmic dust on 4 fingers and I used juleps blackly on my ring finger and I used polishaus lacquers in the heat of love on top on my ring finger. I love these polishes. They are so gorgeous. I also used a sticker of a flower on my index finger and a jewel on my middle finger. I would have done real nail art but I was in a hurry. Here is a picture of my mani.

If any one would like to see the actual polishes here is a picture of them. I got the indie from my nail mail buddy Chasidy and the others I bought myself;-) the picture doesn't do these polishes justice but they are still very pretty. These polishes are easy to go on and they don't clump at all. I used one coat of the julep and I used two coats of the china glaze and one coat of the polishaus lacquer. Clean up was a snap and I would get more from these polish makers.

How I got my hair to grow

So I have been having issues getting my hair to grow. I tried everything I could think of to get it to grow longer than just below my shoulders but I have had no luck. I have tried prenatal vitamins, multivitamins, and some other home remedies but no success. I heard from friends and from the Internet that taking biotin, b12 and a multivitamin would help me grow long hair. Here is a picture of what I have been using to help my hair grow.

I use the Moroccan moisture by fx after I wash my hair to help keep it moistened. I have been using all three products for the past month and a half. My hair is now to the middle of my back. I have been wanting long hair forever and now I have found products that are inexpensive to buy and they work. On the bright side the vitamins also help my nails grow healthy and long! I got two birds with one stone.  Here is a picture of my hair now.

I am in love with these products and you can choose your strength of biotin and b12. I think when I run put I'm going to up the strength of my biotin to 5,000 mcg. If you have been wanting some natural way to help your hair and nails grow strong and healthy this is a great and inexpensive way of doing it.
