Julep Polish Review

Hello! So a couple weeks ago I did a haul on some Julep items I got. I decided to do a nail polish review on these because they are pretty expensive ($14 each.) I got the three above (that silver thing is a cuticle cream. I'm reviewing the grey one today. It is the color "Stevie - Boho Glam."

You can see it in the swatch picture in the middle below.

The formula is very pigmented. I only did ONE coat on each nail. That.. has never happened for me before. Ha ha.

The picture below was taken just minutes after applying it. I took this picture quickly and had to leave the house. I cleaned up the edges a little better when I got home. Ha ha. Don't judge.

Below is a picture taken the next day. I'm a little disappointed. I did a full bottom coat of clear, one coat of Stevie - Boho Glam, then a top coat (including sealing the ends.)

It is already peeling up. The pictures don't show it but the third day was a hot mess. I have NYC polishes that last longer. I have wet n' wild that lasts longer! Why would I spend $14 on this? Well, there are too reasons. The first one is the one coat (it's faster), the second one is the colors (have you SEEN the purple? I'm agog), and the third one is they are 3-free, 4-free, and even 5-free!!

Review: Merona Purse

My Merona purse from Target is amazing. One of the presents that Hubbins got me for Xmas 2013.

You can purchase this here at Target. for $34.99 if you are interested. It does come in SIX fantastic colors.

(Brown<--mine, Beige, Gray, Blue, New Mint, and Pink)

Gawd, if I wasn't afraid of color I would love to have the new mint color.

Its the perfect size for all of my garbage. 9.0 " H x 13.0 " W x 6.0 " D. It has handles AND a shoulder strap that can be made into an over the shoulder strap. It is very long.

Makeup, wallet, sunglasses,emergency supplies, random supplies, water bottle, phone, and keys.

I love the feel of the outside (Polyurethane) It is really soft leather feeling and the inside is the same color and polyester.

The inside has a cell phone pocket, an accessory pocket, and a zippered pocket. I use the cell phone pocket and accessory pocket for random items like receipts, lip gloss and lotion. The interior zippered pocket I use to hold all of my emergency supplies.

Emergency Supplies (inside right now):

Eye glasses repair kit

Band-aids

Tums

Ibuprofen

Tissues

Sleeping Eye Mask

Pad

Tampon

Hand Sanitizing Wipes

Inhaler

The exterior has one zippered pocket, and two side pouches. The exterior zippered pocket I use for non-emergency type items.

Non-Emergency Supplies:

Extra lip gloss

A Lighter

A mirror

Spare set of keys

Hair ties

Lipstick

A step counter...

One of the side pouches I use for my keys and cellphone and the other I use for my water bottle.

Complaints:

The top can close with a zipper. Personally I do not use this and I'm not sure I ever will but I hate it. I don't like the feeling of the two zipper edges scraping both sides of my hand and arm while I'm fishing around inside.

Also it isn't the BEST quality. There were a lot of strings hanging off everywhere when I first got it and I've had it over a month now and there are still some that I find.

In every other way though it is perfection.

What is your favorite purse and why?
