I got my Julep box in the mail the other day! I was excited to get this box mainly for the blush (surprisingly because the nail polish colours are so awesome). I chose the Classic with a Twist box because I really liked the two colours of polish included in the box.
I received their Glow Pore-Minimizing Blush -Peach Bellini, Caitlin (a shocking hibiscus with gold shimmer), and Mariska (a juicy tangerine shimmer).
I already have a pink blush, so I decided to choose their Peach Bellini blush. It's so pretty, and has a a very subtle shimmer. I tried it on right away and it's definitely a keeper!
The first polish that caught my eye was Caitlin. It's a shocking hibiscus with gold shimmer, and I couldn't resist getting it! It's so pretty in the bottle... Unfortunately that's as far as it goes. I painted my nails with two coats and it dried very matte and streaky almost. I had to put a top coat on it for it to even look nice. AND, there is NO gold shimmer on my nails :(

Mariska is the other nail polish included in this month's box. Mariska is a juicy tangerine shimmer. Just like Caitlin, this polish also dries matte and goes on streaky. A top coat was needed to make this look nice.. and again, no shimmer on my nails :(
