Product Review and Giveaway: Julep Maven

noreply@blogger.com (~Cinnamon Kitten~) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:13:00 +0000

But what if you're not really a mascara or moisturizer girl (I know, hard to believe) - what if you're a die-hard nail polish girl? And I know you're out there! Well, you have GOT to check out the Julep...

My December Glymm Box

noreply@blogger.com (~Cinnamon Kitten~) — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 05:38:00 +0000

This past month I've had a lot of parcels arriving on my doorstep due to all the online shopping I've been doing for the holidays. But when my hubby texted me that there was "another pink box" waiting for me at home, I was still pretty excited. Last month's Glymm box was one of my favourites, so I was anxious to see what was inside. Since I love my lip products so much, if there's a lipstick or lip gloss in the box, I'm usually instantly happy. Although this month seemed a little emptier...
