JULEP FACIAL FOR HANDS: GLYCOLIC HAND SCRUB

** PICTURE FROM JULEP.COM **

I use my hands ALOT Im usually either washing clothes ( loots of uniforms :/ ) or cleaning duty boots , you know a typical life of a Law Enforcement Officer Wife hahaha aside from hate from half or the people around me because of "unfair" tickets, so back to my story. 

All that washing clothes , ironing shirts and cleaning boots which I clean boots everyday, take it downside with my hands, I feel then rough and dry at times. Im only 22 and I worry my hands look older lol hha ahaha .. Since I love to do my nails , hands need to be in tip-top shape, since Im a member from Julep Maven ( a monthly subscription to Julep were just for $19.99 a month you get top of the line nail care , hand care products ) well on my 1st order I got the GLYCOLIC HAND SCRUB

At 1st I thought it was going to be similar to MaryKay Satin Hands which btw I personally dislike I feel it does nothing for my hands after one wash the effect of "soft satin hands" wears out.

I did not use my FACIAL FOR HANDS ( GLYCOLIC HAND SCRUB) right away I was a little skeptical due to the fact that my previous "hand scrub" experiences were not WOW for me. One day I just randomly grabbed it and put it to the test. 

The consistency is like if there were seeds or something and the coloring of the product is brown-ish. It is think and spreads out pretty even , I do prefer to use generous amounts, the scrub is gently YET efficient. I did love the fact that my hands stayed soft for a long period of time without wearing out between washes. The scent is pleasant , yet not overwhelming its just "right".

My hands have improved a lot , I feel the waay softer and they look alive not dull .. I would really recommend this product for all the mani-care fellow lovers out there :D. 

TIP* The price for the product $32 BUTif you join Julep Maven you will get it for 

$19.99 plus 2 nail polishes !! AMAZING I know !! lol !!

Claims: ( form julep.com ) 

Julep Facial for Hands is based on our very popular Julep Girlfriend’s Glycolic Manicure.  Potent glycolic acid combined with apricot seeds provides powerful double exfoliation that leaves your hands feeling noticeably softer and looking younger after just one use.  Naturally scented with orange oil for a refreshing aromatherapy boost with each use. This product is perfect for anyone battling dry, dull skin, age spots and fine lines on your hands. 

Overall : Julep MEETS my expectations :D 

NAIL-FILES 101: CUTICLE REMOVER ( DISOLVER )

Hello beauties well as many of us know cuticles can be a pain in the bootey , I feel it marks the difference from a GR8 nail polish application from a "messy" looking one, but if you can pull of a GR8 nail polish application with cuticles , OMG youre my new hero.

I honestly would only pushem back with an orange stick and done-so. Until I decided TODAY is the day I need to get rid of them now, so I went on a journey to get something to get'em out , Walmart was my best bet lol, I went straight to the nail-care aisle and while I was trying not to look over to the nail polish section I saw a huge SALLY HANSEN section that honestly had never gotten my attention before, I mean I have purchased some stuff from that brand in the past but Id never taken a look so deep into it. I saw some cutile removing cream, oil and a gel. I was reading all the specs on all of them and decided that de GEL was the once I wanted to try.WHY? I decided to grab it because the box said " DISSOLVE cutiles in 15 SECONDS " I was likee yeiii , got home and did exactly what the box said , which was to put on the product on your cuticles for 15 seconds and after that to gently push the cuticle back and remove the excess product with soap water.

The product worked really well , if you need something effective to remove cuticles and are maybe in a hurry or just want to try something different try ( ( Sally Hansen Cuticle Dissolver ) )

STARTING FALL WITH "ZOE" by: JULEP

ZOE 
Description from the JULEP website: A zesty, smoky burnt umber.
Ok now in my words :D
What a better way to kick-start your "fall" season than to be rite on trend with a orangy-metallic-copperish nail polish. Its just like having fall leaves at your fingertips. 
The consistency of the polish is super creamy and it glides on the nail AMAZING as usual on Julep nail polish. 


The color is really vibrant and it suits every skin tone ( personal thought ). This polish came in my Julep Maven box, if youre not familiar with what Julep Maven is I will link below my Blog on Julep Maven. Once I got it I was kinda not happy because ZOE was so not a color I would pick just out of the blue. On my " I have nothing to do episode " I decided to change my nail polish and I was like 
"lets give it a shot". Let me tell you I was beyond impressed on the outcome, the color amazed me now I can say I can eat my "thoughts" because I really loved the color. Deff. I proved myself that YOU CANT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.
Here are some swatches on different types of light, hope your girls like it and sorry If theres any booboos on my nails I try my best :D

JULEP MAVEN

JULEP MAVEN #1

So today was finally the day I had been waiting for a while. So a couple of months ago I was doing my regular routine during the day which is check Youtube for review videos of products I would like to try. I bumped with this video about some girl giving her opinion of nail polish brands and she mentioned Julep I had never heard of such brand and the thing that got my attention was how amazing the polish looked tru the camera. I kept on doing my research about the brand and I just getting more and more and more excited because let me tell you I ADORE NAIL POLISH.

I was finally ready to make my first purchase WHEN ! I see that they have a new monthly nail care club called "MAVEN". Immediate reaction I start taking my "style quiz" and was revealed with my selection , I loved the fact youre getting HIGH end products for a fraction of the price and besides they will be colors never before seen and amazing nail treatments.

They have amazing and fast responding customer service which for me is a major + , just for the fact that you have your own profile and all that good stuff. Its an amazing brand and I see a bright future for them I can DEFF. recommend to anyone and everyone.

The quality of the products its amazing , the consistency for the formulation of the actual polish is super creamy, super pigmented and glides into the nail beautifully. I also got their "Facial for Hands" Glycolic Hand Scrub , and its really soft and subtle for everyday use and leaves yours hands with a silky feel to them its just really hard to put into words its one of those things you have to try for yourself. The package included a sample from of the "Everyday SPF" which haves SPF30 and has no greasy feeling to it.

Overall AMAZING purchase Im really happy and looking forward for more.

Following some pictures of the actual nail polish.
