Christmas in June!

At least that's what it felt like! :) On Saturday, I received my July Julep Maven box AND my JewelMint order. I was so excited and ripped both boxes open without even thinking 'hmm...maybe I should take a picture' because the JewelMint boxes are so cutely wrapped and my Julep box was super festive and adorable. So, I'll just have to do my best to describe them.


My July Julep box contained:
 Freida, "electric fuchsia micro-shimmer."

Audrey, "soft light pink micro-shimmer."

Camellia, "soft light pink pastel lip vernis."

JULY BONUS! America-The Beautiful, "shiny red with royal blue glitter and sterling silver stars, it's like nail art in a bottle."

I also added on Daphne and Poppy but they were shipped separately and will arrive probably on Tuesday.

This box was basically a "4th of July" box. It had red, white, and blue paper strings and even 3 Atomic Fireball candies (which I haven't had in years! lol). And since the 4th is right around the corner, I was super excited to get this before then so I could wear America-The Beautiful. So, off went Courteney (which I got in my Intro box) and on went America. I wasn't sure if I would need a base color since America is pretty much all glitter, so I tried it without a base color and was pleasantly surprised. 2 coats were perfect! the red glitter is so fine that it looks like I have red glitter nail polish with a glittery topcoat. The only thing that I was kinda bummed about were the stars. I wish there were more of them. Its almost like trying to find a needle in a haystack. But overall, I'm pretty pleased with it and once the 4th is over, I will try one of the other 2 colors I received. :)

As for JewelMint, all of my pieces have arrived in this cute boxes that are wrapped with a black ribbon. This time wasn't any different. I received 3 boxes, each with 4 pieces to fit the theme of the box (Boho, Feminine, and Urban). So I received the following:

• Urban Tribe Necklace
• Gabrielle Earrings
• Tough Love Rings
• Night Owl Necklace
• Calla Lilly Earrings
• Dane City Bracelet
• Tiger Cabochon Ring
• Treasure Trove Pendant
• Forever Yours Bracelet
• Maria Ring
• Always Astoria Necklace
• Mumbai Bracelet in Gold

Surprisingly, I loved about 10 out of the 12 items. Not sure what I'm gonna do with the 2 'm not super fond of... we'll see. Maybe a giveaway? Maybe I'll try to sell them? Idk.
 But all of the pieces are beautiful and I've never really considered myself to be a huge jewelry person but that's starting to change and I think having a site like JewelMint really helps broaden your jewelry horizon. lol
Anyways, just thought I'd share my "Christmas in June". :)
